US Politics Thread

It's times like this when you really expose yourself. Obama never had a supermajority in the senate, it just didn't exist. Between Franken's seat being contested, Kennedy dying and Byrd being hospitalised, he never got over 59.

Anyone who was around back then knows and remembers that (it was a massive, discourse dominating story for over a year), anyone who just parrots GOP talking points he picked up off youtube will repeat the lie he had one.

What I love/loathe are the people who blame the Dems for not doing more when the GoP are doing all they can to hurt women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, the less well off and those with health issues.

Every single time they blame the wrong party. It’s like blaming the girl in the skirt for not dressing more modestly as opposed to the bloke going around raping them.

Okay. Let me use your argument in child-like form.

You and your mate claimed the Dems never had a 'supermajority'.

What number is a 'supermajority'?

“A fleeting, illusory supermajority”​


Which word(s) need explanation? Bye.

You know he doesn't believe any of this shit, he's just a bad troll.

If the GOP came out tomorrow and banned grapefruit he'd write long posts about why grapefruits are evil and the democrats would have enshrined the right to eat a grapefruit in law if they were a real political party.

He's not always on the wrong side of everything by coincidence, it's because he seeks out positions to argue with you and @SWP's back and @FogBlueInSanFran

Surely not. Surely the former gang banging drug pusher is better versed and has a far better grasp of life and the realities of politics than half a dozen successful professionals who are always diametrically opposed to his views and vice versa.

Seeing as I only ever see his posts when a) someone quotes him combined with b) I’m particularly bored and want to amuse myself, his trolling would be much less effective if people simply stopped interacting with him. There’s not a chance he’s debating in good faith as you say.

Done.

Had no idea he was a “gang banging drug pusher!” For a second, I thought you were talking about Trump! ;-)
 
When l see what happens in the nut job USA with their left wing fascists and their hopeless and helpless government, l look out of the window and feel happy to look on this green and sceptered Isle.
Whoever called them the leaders of the free world? I would not have them on Handforth Parish Council. In fact Jackie Weaver would make a better president than poor old Joe who should be in a Florida rest home.

Not a great effort.
You might catch one or two if you’re lucky.
