President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

People don't go away when they lose, nor should they. Barry Goldwater lost like nobody's business and was a respected figure in the Senate working for his views for decades. What the hell is wrong with that?

 

Goldwater was a sacrificial lamb. Romney probably fits in that category, too.

Clinton's own goal caused the greatest political disaster of our lifetimes.

 

The voters caused it, not her. Specifically, the angry ignorant old white voters of three states. And I assure you that nobody in the GOP thought Romney was a sacrificial lamb. As it happened, on the afternoon of election day 2012 I had to be in Logan airport and saw the private jets in landing patterns one by one for the Romney victory party. I had work the next day, so I couldn't go out to see them leave, although I wanted.

 

Oh bullshit. Goldwater knew damn well what he was doing, which included quite eagerly talking about the reasonable possibility of nuclear war --- the only candidate in 75 years up until Fucko who ever mentioned it as a feasible possibility during the campaign.

Even rough and ready, hell-bent Ronnie Raygun never actually spoke of nuclear war itself as a credible possibility, as Bomb 'Em Back to the Stone Age Barry did.

 

Her job is to handle the voters.

Romney more or less went away for awhile after his loss. I didn't miss him.

 

I don't consider her a pariah.
I don't think she should go away.
I do think she should quit saying stupid-ass shit like that.

And not because I'm packing 11 inches of man meat ... but because I'm embarrassed for her.

 

Preach on. You and your buddies love women.

 

This week's entire episode of This American Life -- on now, and repeated over the weekend -- is about the East Ramapo school district.

 

Another one of your lovely tricks. You're making shit up. There are other possible reasons Obama didn't do more, though none of them are good, but you chose to make up whatever fit the story you like and hope nobody notices you are full of it.

Also, JC was correct, and damn you for making me agree with him. You would have criticized any action Obama took.

 

Is this what you are talking about? It looks like it was posted in 2014.

A Not-So-Simple Majority

 

This is my celebratory face when Handel beat Ossoff, moving the representation in Congress closer to gender parity.

 

Must be. I didn't hear them introduce it as a repeat.
