Here's hoping Ginsburg leaves soon and we can get another justice who loves the constitution and doesn't believe it's an ever changing document.

Well, I reckon you need to check harder, because he has accomplished zilch. And they're worthless because many of them were written incorrectly, becauseof ineptitude. No dramatic bullet necessary. They only need two senate Republicans to overrule him. Sorry.
When is McConnell going to call the vote? What are they going to vote on. No one can call a vote in the Senate but the Senate Leader. Thought you learned this lesson with Garlan.
Don't know what you're talking about. Really doesn't matter what the cracker does... He still needs votes.
You said 2 Republicans need to flip. Flip on what? The Senate doesn't vote on EOs.

And last I checked there is little useless about an executive order. All that power grabbing by Presidents of decades past is sure backfiring on the establishment right now. And as I have mentioned; the senate, the house, the supreme court. Only a bullet will stop Trump from getting what he wants.

Ryan comes out supporting Trump's immigration EO:

It's finally happening. The GOP I dreamed of but never thought possible. A party that tells the screaming toddlers to shut the fuck up and doesn't waiver at protests and twitter rants.

I don't have to, your sudden silence says more than you could. You mocked Romney for his views on Russia, yucking it up with other clowns who thought we were in a new era. You didn't say a fucking thing when Obama used EOs to overreach his authority, but now seem to think it's the end of the world. You don't even read half the articles you post, coming in here claiming they show Trump worked with Putin or that Russia hacked our power grid, only to be called out on the bullshit and you go silent on the subject once again.
What is there to argue about Obama's military actions?? The Middle East was a mess The Rupublicans & Dick Cheney leftover for 'The Next Guy' to clean up. Obama didn't start the war, he didn't want the war, he only promised to do his best in resolving it best he can while exiting with as few casualties as possible. Hard to argue.
As for Executive Orders, which in particular do you feel were botched as terribly as this?
I don't agree it was botched. Reports say 120 people were affected. A bunch of idiots calling it a Muslim ban and yelling the sky is falling doesn't make it true. More people were impacted by the protests outside airports and taxi strike than by Trump's EO.

Trump to keep Obama's LGBT protections in place. Please tell me how this is somehow wrong because Trump is behind it.

He's not fooled. He just wants to stand next to the winner. Prior to the election everybody thought it would be Hillary, including Flagg. So he took the opportunity to prove he wasn't a partisan hack and instead was a contrarian who saw Hillary as more capable. He even wrote a big post about it. Once Trump was the President Elect (or even when it became evident that he would probably win), he dropped that shtick and ran back to Daddy. There is no criticizing Trump now, none at all.
You and Mitch are the only partisan hacks here. You went on for years about Iraq and Bush calling him a war criminal and injecting the war into every discussion. Then when Obama was elected, you went absolutely silent. Not a single post condemning any of Obama's military actions.

The other mouth breathers may buy the bullshit, but I see right through it. You're a smart guy, but you are completely incapable of being objective. I have no doubt there are many things you're unhappy with the DNC for, but you'd never publicly express that because you're a cheerleader.
I told you why I hated Trump. He led the birther movement. He insulted real fucking heroes like McCain. But so did you and half the DNC. I'm still terrified about what Trump will let happen with Putin and China. I'm not convinced he has the cojones to do what's right. I know Obama sure as hell didn't have a spine. But with Clinton, I believed and still do that she would stand up to them.
But so far all Trump has done is appoint Cabinent Secretaries I mostly like (Tillerson, Mattis and Flynn) and started his immigration orders which I've made clear for years I fully support. Word around the campfire is Trump is going to deport legal immigrants who rely on public assistance. OUTFUCKINGSTANDING! That was a wet dream for me, something I never thought could happen.
If McCain or Romney would have been the GOP nominee, you still would have voted for Clinton. And that's the fucking problem. No matter how bad the candidate is, people like you will pull the lever as long as there is a (D) next to their name. One of us is willing to not toe the party line blindly. And it's not you.

and back OT, a shitstorms brewing again. Trump fired acting AG cause she spoke out against him, couldn't get his way. She was only gonna be there a few days/weeks. Will make Jeff Sessions testimony interesting tho, especially given his controversial background. Bad move & timing imho. He just stirred up a hornets nest again. Jeff Sessions testimony likely would've been controversial, and some things brought up, but ultimately put thru. Now tho, its going to be hyperfocused on his thoughts on this ban, and his personal background and his controversial past. Its also going to be a long drawn out spectacle. Trump did it to himself.
United States of Breitbart.
The DOJ doesn't go against the President. That's not how any of this works. Can you cite an example of any Bush or Obama cabinet members publicly disagreeing or outright refusing to follow guidance? She knew what would happen and did this to get attention. How much you want to bet she's running for office in 2018.

Ultimate Warrior? Whats he like outside the ring? Not that smart? I like the Chris Jericho interview about how whatever he said never made any sense "The world will rise and the demons will fall onto the ground in the misty air in the night....."
Flaggs definitely Sergeant Slaughter. SLC is Iron Shiek haha
He was very intense. All the bravado you'd expect. Which was great when you're bringing in a speaker to address 500 people. I was never a fan of wrestling, I just was interested in the crowd draw. Bay Buchanan and Ann Coulter had bigger turnouts, but were much more antagonistic.
