Not a Good Week For The Administration When it Comes to Ireland

You gotta love the Irish mocking Paul Ryan and his inability to drink a Guinness correctly! As someone who was properly trained how to pour a proper pint I concur...it doesnt hurt that Paul Ryan is scum anyways

Freedom of Speech...Unless We Dont Like It Then You Should Die!

Oh look, another airheaded, Botoxed, Faux News lot lizard who's pushing 50, and getting nervous about her employment status.

Wonder how many in Ohio, Michigan etc...are still happy this is what they voted for.

88% approval among Republicans according to Maher.

I'd say they sold their souls, but that ship sailed long ago.

Yeah but 37% overall. He is going to need every Republican in 4 years (just like he did last November) to have a chance. (cause all those "Well Trump is Different" voters are done with him) Considering how many Republicans he has screwed over since January I dont see that happening so the Dems need to just not run Hillary.

I think it's foolish to think that a door stop with an R crayoned on it won't still have 95% Republican approval by the time the rhetoric used during the campaign does its work in 2020, or in any election. The question will be if people will be motivated to the polls to support him, or motivated to the polls to stop the Democratic nominee. Not running Hillary is going to help the latter problem a lot unless we run some equally unpalatable establishment jackwagon.

That wasn't the problem.

American didn't reject a woman. They rejected that woman.

To lose on bigotry you need crossover bigotry. Every person who voted specifically against a woman president was already a Republican.

37% approval.
Lowest in 1st term in history to this point and lowest since they began tracking in 1945.

Have a conservative friend who says his dad puts an NRA bumper sticker on his car, not because he believes in them. But to '**** off liberals'. So this is probably more common than is believed.

Funny. Thought this was a pro-Repub headline, not reading the article.

Seriously, though, that is the slogan of many a liberal nowadays. And FTR, I really dislike/hate much of what the righties say, but they have a right to say it.

From what I know, liberals primarily bring free speech when there are limits to public protests. Pretty valid in my book.

Conservatives bring it out in daily conversation (and have done so on this site for years). It is often leaned on by conservatives when they want to speak their mind and are criticized for it. In this case, the concept is misused when nobody is stopping anyone from giving their perspectives...yet its being applied to stifle criticism which is also free speech.

Case in point. Chick fil a. A few years ago, the president took a stand against gay marriage and lbgt in general. As a result, there were boycotts. Conservatives came out claiming that liberals were wrong because of the 'free speech' of the president. In the end, nobody tried to stop that representative from giving his opinion...but rather to hold his company responsible for his behavior. Whether left or right, that's as it should be.

war presidents usually rally support.

Re: POTUS 45.6 - Russia Is Just A Witch Hunt

What's going to happen when Trump loses in 2020, though? Will he admit defeat and hand over power? Or will he declare martial law because the election was "rigged" and "millions of illegals voted" (illegals he was supposed to deport, btw)?

For a while, but if they're not home for Christmas it goes south in a hurry. Anyway, if Trumpy launches a Wag the Dog War what are his choices?

North Korea? Good luck getting China to sign off on that. And without China signing off it risks WW3 and we get Dealey Plaza.

OK, Iran? That might be the one war the US could start where the President wouldn't get any War Fever Boner at all. Coming on the heels of the Iraq disaster, and fighting a real army rather than a paper one, spells desert quagmire (quicksand?).

Iraq, again? History repeats first as tragedy and then as farce. What comes after farce? The Brits probably can tell us after a century of The Great Game.

Syria? I wouldn't put it past Donald to land an army just after the Kurds and the Russians have taken care of the problem, fly in for a Mission Accomplished photo op, and be back in Florida by nightfall. But the idea of using a war to deflect attention from the misery at home does require some time to root for Our Brave Boys in the field, so that doesn't really help. Plus, you know, urban guerrilla clean up worked so well in Baghdad.

Pakistan? Yes, we're going to attack a nuclear power that borders India and China.

How about somebody we can take without exposing all our expensive hardware as crap? Venezuela? We could take the oil, half the locals hate the existing government, and South Americans can't fight for sh-t. Honestly not a bad choice, though I'm sure Brazil would love the millions of refugees it would generate.

For him to lose Democrats will have to get off their *** and vote. Quite frankly he's no more dangerous now then he was in October. We'll see if by 2020 there is something compelling for Democrats.

But in 2016 he could run on promises and his Image. In 2020 he'll have done nothing and even some Republicans will have sussed out that he's a con man.

The Dems just need a nominee who isn't Beltway Corruption Incarnate. Throw one of our lukewarm liberals up there -- Booker or Castro or Harris -- and we should be fine. Just stay away from the obvious landmines: anybody who reeks of the old order of Clinton, Pelosi, Reid. And get Obama out on the campaign trail to remind people what a president looks like and sounds like. Let Trump fall into the obvious trap of screaming at Barack while the nominee has open field.
