How many off ramps are GOPers going to ignore?
- Thread starter UTFO
- Start date
Not really. One guy showed up outside his home but called the police on himself.
Edith Wilson was our first female president. Nancy Reagan was the first female chief of staff.
You‘re welcome. Almost no one should live in a state of terror over an orange boogeyman like you do.😃
Thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for. You da Man Mark. Although I think your rainbow team would have wished that you would have just stayed quiet on this one.
Eh, correct. I forgot about one of those.
Tell me again how it's all not a house of cards?
Why would it be a house of cards? The Presidency is only one branch of govt, and is rather limited in what they can do.
The massive failure in US civics within the population is ascribing much more power in the office than what exists.
Why? You didn't really just ask WHY.
I'm going with my gut and just say. Bless your heart.
I'm guessing you failed civics, along with most of your classes.
Trump's "mob" may be wide, but it's about an inch deep. There aren't 20k people in this country that are going to seriously throw down for this clown. The majority of people that voted for him don't even like him.
He's like 35% of a party that is only like 25% of the population. Been a while since my last math class, but 0.35 x 0.25 still comes out to 8.725% of the country that are hardcore Trumpkins. And they mostly live in hovels a million miles from civilization.
I’m thinking tonight of the old guys who dueled … when partisan words partisan ways overfueled … when one versus one and weapons of choice … forced most to then temper the shit that they voiced
It’s pretty obvious Trump’s never been punched in the face. Which is a shame as he might have one of the most punchable faces in recorded human history.
How about a matched brace of tasers at 12 paces … first one to get back up wins.
Yes, not the best Trump punch back ever.
But is not like Democratic supporters employed in the Government are trying to intimidate witnesses either.
That's not completely true anymore. Trump controlled the election of the last three nominees to the Supreme Court based on views on abortion. There are not too many independent thinkers in the House of Representatives but the Republicans have gone out of their way to avoid exercising free will.
A decade ago I would have said this was impossible.
Trump didn't nominate anyone to the SC that any other Republican wouldn't have. Kavanaugh was his most controversial nominee, and probably the most moderate of the 3. And he came directly from Justice Kennedy's recommendation
This is correct. Slavish devotion to the Federalist Society is the one way in which Trump never left the Republican Reservation.
Hasn’t happened since 1863 (West Virginia from Virginia) and has to be admitted by Congress. Also. They would need to secede first I believe because I’m not sure a new state can be formed within the jurisdiction of an existing state.
Also also I think a single state can veto it?
Congress has to approve it, and any state involved (in this case California) would have to consent, but that's it.
The filibuster would need to be rescinded first. New states would take an act of Congress.
Under extremely unusual circumstances…. Not wanting to follow Virginia into the Civil War.
The Confederate States were not represented in Congress at the time to object.

But the Confederate states were still eligible -- they weren't expelled; they stayed away on their own.
