Quote It is said that one cannot blame people who applaud Arpaio and support his rehabilitators (Trump, Pence, et al.), because, well, globalization or health-care costs or something. Actually, one must either blame them or condescend to them as lacking moral agency. Republicans silent about Pence have no such excuse. It will be interesting to see how the next 2 elections go.

caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Can't believe that was written by George Will...or rather, that the political world has changed so much so that a mainstream Republican like him no longer has a big tent to shelter under.

caulfield12 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) What America is this? Feel like my binge watching of the current season/s of Homeland and The Handmaid's Tale is bleeding over into real life...or reality is reflected right back at us by the dystopian vision of today's television shows?

The float they made is fucking priceless. We have to remember that this is part of america. I see it all the time in Michigan.

I get that, but still, his BS is less than 90 miles away. You would think they would be on to it. There are plenty of republicans that know Donald Trump is full of it. It was basically Make Gary Great Again. Everyone lost but him. Full of lies and unfulfilled promises and boasts. And to this day, he calls it a great deal.

knightni Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Trump and his followers compare to the story of The Emperor's New Clothes.

Releasing hostages without paying 1.8 billion dollars? A president who is actually earning the noble peace prize that were not based off campaign promises? Lowest unemployment in 18 years? Lowest black unemployment in history? The stock market past 20,0000 pts? Oh something is definitely wrong alright. And it’s not the President.

Articulate, controlled and more important than anything, fearless. I am sure she's alt right or some other snarl word to blow off her opinions without critically analyzing them but I will be following her career. Before this thread Id never have even heard of her. What do you like about her positions? I tried to look into her, but all I can really find is stuff like "Why not try being a Republican?" I saw she is pro-life, anti-planned parenthood and had some other personal opinions about things like police brutality, but I cant really find anything else about her positions. The best I could find is that when she was younger she had a personal situation that involved a Democratic Governor's son and a settlement due to it. So I guess the better question is, what do you like about her policy positions? Edited May 11, 2018 by Soxbadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has ever gotten done with North Korea without bribes, and this case will be no different. The package might not have gotten out to the public as of today, but I promise you it happened.

I dont think it was a money bribe. I read somewhere that China thinks NK screwed up its test facility during the last round of nuke tests, so now they cant test anymore. Basically Kim is negotiating his staying in power, getting aid because they simply cant do anymore tests. https://www.wsj.com/articles/north-koreas-underground-nuclear-test-facility-is-damaged-experts-say-1524643948 https://www.wsj.com/articles/damage-to-north-koreas-nuclear-test-site-worse-than-previously-thought-1525975203 http://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy-defence/article/2143171/north-koreas-nuclear-test-site-has-collapsed-and-may-be-why-kim-jong-un The collapse after five nuclear blasts may be why North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declared on Friday that he would freeze the hermit state’s nuclear and missile tests and shut down the site, one researcher said. The WSJ articles are behind a pay wall. The other one says similar thing, but just not a reliable source that Ive heard of.
