Senate The US Politics discussion

The least surprising news since JJ Binks denounced the ACA:

lol, Senator Franken on being told his questions were 1 minute too long: "The Benghazi hearing was 11 hours, that's all I'm saying."

President Obama opens with a defense of an independent White House correspondent pool being free to hold presidents accountable for their work.

 

Like his executive orders, it won't matter on Saturday...

 

Even stranger. Why are you even in here, then? Are you looking for an echo chamber? Don't make me hand out your scent to Lord Vivec.

 

You'll forgive me but that sounds like a way of admitting the US is, as we know, terrible on all measures but the effort required to fix it is just too great, so why not accelerate the divide?

I wasn't saying that at all.

 

If you're saying that I'm equally guilty of seeking an echo chamber, point taken. But I generally just follow other people's conversations and pick a side I agree with. When someone's written a wall of text, I just skip it. I don't write a snarky response to something I didn't even bother reading.

 

The destruction of public education is definitely a bipartisan effort.

 

Complain (so much easier)

 

Is that guy playing at the inauguration? Some Breitbart intern's Motley Crue tribute band, I guess?

 

President Obama had his last press conference today, and some think he hinted/implied he's up to running for office again, just not anytime "soon." I hope he pulls a John Quincy Adams.

Trump is already planning his 2020 election campaign: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-reveals-2020-campaign-133849316.html

 

Hey, King's X was great.
Thirty years ago.

 

Do you need me to simplify the language in my post before you address it, jester? Or perhaps you think that if you shift the goalposts whilst complaining about the shifting of goalposts in general it will distract us all?

 

So not only did Devos lie...

She is the sister of the dude who founded Blackwater. UGH!

 

I'll assume you are being genuine in not knowing King's X.

But if you want to bring the band's personalities into the mix, the lead singer (as much as he can be in a band known for vocal harmonies and despite the guitarist taking lead on many songs) is a black, gay man that also just put out an album with a different band with a guitarist that prides himself anti-capitalist.

So yeah. Breitbart or something. I guess politics defines everything.

 

No, I'll let you maintain your superiority complex. You wear it well. Who's your tailor?

 

Do you know what personality means?

 

Oh, right, he's black. Then obviously not from Breitbart. My bad.


I obviously know them. I was just replying to your humorous poke in kind.

 

Ok but Jester basically what happened was I said there's reason to be suspect of de Vos and the Trump admin. You shifted the goalposts. You didn't respond. You then did it again when I asked you a second time.

If I'm appearing superior it will be because side by side I just look favourable.

 

Clearly.

 

cult of personality was living colour not king's x

 

If that helps you, but you entered a call and response, so to think that suddenly my responses were always tailored to you personally is, well .... 'nuff said.

 

Living Colour had its moments and talent. But King's X always came off more musical.

 

I asked a simple point. I don't see how answering it is as difficult as it's become.
