LOL, I read a few of those Twitter comments. People angry at the staging of the "background". I despise it, but it's nothing new. I know Obama always did it, but I assume it didn't start with his Presidency.
I'd never go to a Trump rally, but it they tried to make me sit there I'd ask to be moved or leave.
Correction! It was called "blackground" lol
posted by CenterBHSFanSO... the progressives are calling Tulsi Gabbard "conservative" when it comes to her foreign policy. And that she's as good as a republican.
Um, wat?
Compared to pretty much every other DNC candidate for POTUS Tulsi is a republican.
posted by jmogyou are the one that posted Kirk’s tweet. You even circled the part you thought he was wrong about. However, he was 100% right about that part. You are now changing the “goal posts” to “well 3/4 were from this country so...”. That has zero to do with the post you quoted about Kirk. You were wrong, it’s ok to admit that and not double down by changing the subject.
It was a joooooooooooke. Jesus man you need to get outside and relax. I thought it was funny. You don’t even know how to laugh your just too busy trying to pwn gblock. Take a break man
Glad I don't waste time with that...it's easier to just hang out and wait for gblock to pwn himself.

No need to "pwn" you, you do it to yourself plenty with completely botching words you don't understand.
The best thing is when gblock gerrymanders himself. That's pretty awesome.
Holy cow.....Political suicide is coming.
LOL! You can't make this shit up.

If the feds get their paws on this stuff because of "interstate commerce", France would actually seem to have a strong argument for taxing Google, Facebook, etc.
Although I'm not sure what France is trying to do. I assume those companies already pay tax on revenue related to traffic originating in France.

Yeah, I'm not defending France. But for the guy who pontificated about the US tariffs on Chinese goods to say, "If anyone taxes them, it should be their home country," is hilarious.
This guy is a straight-up cartoon.

Obviously they'll do everything they can to keep this alive up to the election.
But I think the motivation might actually be more unethical. They expected the Mueller Report to, at a minimum, give them plenty of dirt and oppo research on Trump, maybe new areas to investigate for crimes/impeachment. That didn't happen, so now they want the grand jury testimony so they can uncover potential new witnesses that they might then pursue for dirt on Trump.
Someone mentioned the statute of limitations on indicting Trump might be 5 years, so if he gets re-elected I expect some epic trolling somewhere around April 2024.

They have to keep this in the news to have a chance at a soundbite for 2020 of "do you want to vote for a president that is going to be impeached?"

Talk about being between a rock and a hard place. They have to choose between continuing a witch hunt that has no there there, or embracing full-on Marxism.

Kind of felt this way about Mueller.

He was well-compensated for his troubles.
The mind-blowing thing is that Dems didn't see that coming, or that they put him up there anyway. Or maybe I lack savvy, and don't realize that even 2-3 quality soundbites out of that hearing make it worth it. But, me, I would have known how he was going to perform and what he was going to say....and then I wouldn't have called him to testify.
I mean, if you watched the hearing it was a total flop. But the 2-3 minutes of edited outtakes that will get played again and again in the media is probably a stone-cold winner for Democrats.
Look at the Dems you are talking about. They are so blinded that I dont think they even saw it that way. They probably sat there all day thinking "Man Mueller is killing it!"
Anyone see this new trend happening with people throwing water in police while they try to arrest someone? I hope people start getting beaten/ tazed.
Also, rightfully saying Baltimore is a shit hole does not make you racist. I don’t think people know what that word means anymore.

...you reap what you sow.
Anyway, this continues to be said among mainstream dems
"But for voter disenfranchisement, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia."
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand speaks at the National Urban League Conference in Indianapolis.”
Per the hill. Remember this when CNN writes articles asking what happens when Trump doesn’t accept an election. She lost by 55k votes amid record voter turnout.
Bette Midler is now a racist also.

Ehh, they were still pretty bad comments to disparage an American city.
Also, Baltimore isn't a shit hole. Some parts are still like the Wire, but other areas are pretty damn nice and fun. I often head up to Baltimore for events, dinners, games ,etc. The entire area from downtown to the inner harbor, baseball park, Fell's Point, Federal Hill and Port Covington area is nice. If you ever visit, Sagamore Rye is based in Port Coveington and is a nice rye. It has really grown and been rebuilt in the last 10 years. It is like every major city on the rebound. I'll admit it still has a ways to go.

I'm not saying Trump isn't a clown for saying it, but jumping on "racism" is such a dumb complaint. Like defending Sharpton now bc Trump said he's a con man. I get that twitter is like 2% of America, but shit all it seems like is the media and people crying over Trump's dumb comments.
I've been to the inner harbor and the nice parts (wife's friend that we stayed with lived on Federal Hill), I'd go back, but doesn't change that the bad parts are extremely bad.
I'm not a huge fan of Charlie Kirk, and I disagree with his overall position on immigration, but he does a great job and represents the pro-wall group well here.
