First one was great. Still working on the second. But so far it’s not quite up to the same level as the first

No that deplorables comment covers the 33% of morons who still support the President. They need to be surgically removed from power and all discussion in the United States. They are all a waste of time.

It covers half of Trump's supporters when she said it. Which at the most would be like 23% of the US population.

What handy said. Screaming at people that don't necessarily disagree with you is part of what got us into this mess. Calm the jets, all.

This is the internet. No one is screaming.

Maybe they should stop being such delicate snowflakes.

Re: POTUS 45.25: Oh Jesus, What Now

Suckers!

At issue is the Trump administration's withdrawal of two Obama-era rules designed to protect small farmers, who say they are being exploited by the meatpacking companies they supply.

Many of the farmers affected by the rollback supported Donald Trump for president, believing his promise to look after their interests. Now, the disillusionment is setting in.

West Virginia poultry farmer Mike Weaver is one of them; he says the feeling now among small farmers and ranchers is, "Where's the support that you promised us? We voted for you because you were going to make things right, and it's not happening."

"Four packers control 82 percent of the market," explains Joe Maxwell, executive director of OCM, "and they've carved the country into regions and don't compete with each other. Farmers feel threatened by packers because in their area, there's only one choice."

Dems need to jump on this. Locally, both federal and state D congressmen (or potential congressmen) should be working to get these people to vote for them and work with them. Have an ear to the ground. The D's ignored these people on accident. Republicans swooped in and are ignoring them while profiting.

Good catch. These groups are replicated everywhere across the white working class. They bought Dump's cultural resentment slogans that Dump and the GOP at large sells, but GOP policy f-cks them. Protect the weak against the strong. That has always been both the strength and value of liberalism.

Cotton may not go to CIA after all, and thank god if that's true.

He isnt being a snowflake, you are just being an ***. And I am saying that as someone who agrees with you.

It's 33%. That's who still supports him now. Say goodbye to all of them. They need to be ignored.

Right but I wasnt talking to you. I said you had the right to rip him but EJ seems to think that not voting is some sort of evil act and it just isnt. It may be misinformed, but Brent is well within his rights to do so and it is in no way an insult to anyone who fought for this country...in fact it is right in line with the why they did it.

I would even go further than that, Handy.

Again, maybe it's just a generational thing, or the way I was raised, but I think it's wholly inappropriate to ridicule, belittle, threaten, heap scorn upon or otherwise try to intimidate a person based upon the vote they cast.

The entire premise of our democracy is one person, one vote, and the free exercise of that vote. If a person's vote will result in their public shaming, will result a barrage of ridicule or belittlement or accusations, how "free" was that vote, and how free will the next one be? It's not the same as having someone in the ballot booth with a gun to your head, but it's a form of voter intimidation nonetheless.

Unfortunately, that horse has left the barn, as my grandfather liked to say.

The cancer needs to be cut out. Think of it the same way the liberals were completely cut out of things during the Bush Administration. Or now. Our concerns have no voice in this administration. The stopping of the Health Care bill took One Senator from the other side to defy his peers. Net Neutrality went down in flames cause it was not allowed to become a law while Obama was in office. A Supreme Court Justice was lost because of the gambit by Turtle Boy. And now another gambit is being deployed to funnel more money to the 1%. Which is a problem that everyone agrees on. Yet, we're still going to go with it. And I haven't even mentioned the Environment.

That 33% and it's people in Congress (all Republicans sans some weird Maverick behavior by a small few) needs to be eradicated from the Earth.

You are arguing a different point than the one I am making. I am not saying people on the left should court Trump supporters. I am saying that the claim that Hillary insulted half of America is wrong, because Hillary said "You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables". So she was insulting HALF of Trump supporters, which was a minority, not half of America.

I should also add, that I don't think what Hillary said was wrong, as we saw by the exit polling in the Alabama special election.

If you vote for a pedophile for senate, you get what's coming to you.

Too fvcking bad.


As far as the rest, that's society. We are ridiculed for our sports teams, what state we live in, what we wear, etc, etc etc...

Believe in what you do and where you come from and grow a thicker skin.


And if you voted for Trump, you deserve to be ridiculed.

All of this... every... last... bit... was completely and obviously predictable... no... inevitable.

We all saw it coming. Many of us even sounded the alarm.


If you are a conservative (or wealthy) and vote for non-molester and/or non-criminal, qualified Republicans, I have no problem with that. Don't agree, but we each get a vote.

Many (most?) of my best friends are conservatives.

I like them despite their flaws.



The personal attacks against Brent are unfortunate.

I stand by my opinion of non-voters though.


As many have stated...

If you didn't vote, don't b-tch.

A Trump judicial nominee struggled to answer basic legal questions posed to him by a Republican senator on Wednesday, including his lack of experience on trial work, the amount of depositions he'd worked on and more.

During his testimony, Matthew Spencer Petersen, who currently serves as a commissioner on the Federal Election Commission, was asked a string of questions by GOP Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana about his experience on trials, including how many depositions Petersen had worked on--the answer was less than five -- and the last time he had read the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure -- he said he couldn't remember.
Petersen is up for a seat on the US District Court for the District of Columbia.

Remember, Hillary is just as bad. The Centrist said so.

I haven’t been able to keep up here - did we get an explanation for how she would have ruined the world just as bad? Considering all the bad things going on, I’d love to send out an Xmas card telling people how much worse they could be right now. Dying to hear.
