More like an addiction. Like heroin. Tough to give it up after 25 years.

No.

Y'know...as much as the news media is in their pocket, they could just as easily fund the border wall, keep the government running...and ask the media to report the government is shut down, and no one would be any wiser.

2012 called, they want their foreign policy back.

I'm disappointed in myself. I know CNN's going to spin that negatively...but I can't figure out how.

Just think...we paid several million dollars for a design stolen from Braveheart and mocked up in Microsoft Paint. You'd think so...but no.

Not always...

Just like Europe wasn't the same without Hitler...

Merry Christmas Republicans. Democrats...I know "Christmas" offends you, so instead I offer my sympathies over the 23rd anniversary of the dissolution of your worker's paradise.

No we haven't. He's always been this boorish and stupid.

They like it the way it is. Because they've ceased to be legislators. They're party activists, roiling the base for the next round of elections.

Yes, I would. But you can't solve the problem by not acknowledging it - "doesn't" is fundamentally inequal to "shouldn't but does."

But they've got the highest number of celebrities who are authorities on everything, so it works out.

Correction: it shouldn't have anything to do with unequal enforcenemt. As a practical matter it does, because too many people want laws - good and bad - amended or nullified by selective enforcement or non-enforcement. See DACA, federal drug laws, etc.

I always understood it as "I'm going to make Mexico give us money to pay for the wall." Because even though I'm not stupid, Trump is.

That's ludicrous.

The_Dude, certainly. His PTSD is triggered by damn near anything.

Your argument is that we shouldn't award citizenship? We know. You are the least knowledgeable person here. So shut the ***** up.

I see this as being fundamentally different from refusing to make a cake for a gay wedding ceremony. As marriage is an actual thing, but "gender transition" is make-believe. If the baker would make a cake for my niece's unicorn's birthday, he should be making a cake for a "gender transition party."

They're called "Green Cards," you ***** moron.

Seriously? First. show me the evidence that Trump takes direction from anyone. Then we can talk about "who."

I knew someone flip-flopped like that today...but I honestly thought it would have been Schumer.

The fallacy in that being the idea that Afghanistan and Syria are the same war. They're not. They're very different. Afghanistan is a half-assed multinational attempt at nation-building where a nation has never existed. Syria is a limited action against a specific group in a nation that can reasonably be called a "failed state," with no nation-building component. The two are not even remotely the same...which probably has something to do with Mattis' retirement. He'd understand the difference, and wouldn't care to be forced to implement a simplistic "bring the troops home" policy as promulgated by a halfwitted candied yam.

Why don't they just announce the debate winners right now, too?
