Australian PM showing some monologue chops

One 15 second encounter that was on television compared to 9 one on one conversations in private. About the same.

Matt Mika, the staffer that was shot had his condition upgraded from critical to serious, so thankfully he's moving the right way. No update on Rep. Scalise.

Also, I understand the Twitter reax blaming the left, but Rep. King (noted fucking idiot and all around horrible person) says some of the blame lays at President Obama's feet. Also, FoxNews contributor Malkin said the left needs to end the de-humanizing rhetoric.

Eric Trump literally said that Democrats in Washington are not even people just last week. There is no self-reflection.

As one who espouses the virtues of modern liberalism I have often followed the work of Camille Paglia. I expect many of you are already quite familiar with her and for those who are not, this is an interview and worthwhile read for all.

So for those who are confused as to where azrider is coming from, this hopefully will give many of you some insight.

And no, azrider does not come from the moon or mars.

As an aside, I do hope we all had time to reflect upon the tragedy yesterday. I think it would be fair for everyone to share the blame. This includes politicians, media and individuals like you and me. The level of heated rhetoric from both the right and left must be curtailed. It is a good thing to be passionate about issues, however it should not lead to division and hatred and ultimately manifest itself in violent extremism. I hope we do not identify ourselves as by one political party or ideology, but rather first and foremost as Americans.

I wish everyone a very good day.

Just FYI but Mika is the Lobbyist, not the staffer. Staffer was already released and giving interviews. Good news on Mika though.

Right, he's a former staffer turned lobbyist, which is what I meant to say, but did not.

It's a political issue, he will not be impeached until/unless Mueller has something pretty damning or if he reaches a new level of batshit. Don't get your hopes up.

Gee, I'd never have guessed it's a political issue, thanks

who gives a fuck about impeachment. The process will pressure R "leadership" as well as rank & file, and drive drumpf and his filthy mob nuts, and out

Quite true. It's too premature to start a pool, because the GOP is spineless and Mueller is methodical. There is a chance Trump goes batshit Nixon though, so who knows.

So I guess we will learn about the great infrastructure plan tomorrow?

by **JFLNYC** » Thu Jun 15, 2017 20:23:50

Whatever happened to the plan to defeat ISIS which was supposed to be revealed 90 days after inauguration. Or, for that matter, Trump's secret "I'm smarter than the generals" plan?

Has Trump accused them of stealing signs yet?
