Term limits, in this case, would make the office more political, not less (perhaps counter-intuitively). Voting, would be a disaster, being wholly political.
-
Justices should be approved by supermajority. It would enforce moderation among other things.

Ugh. If consolidating the religious wing of the party would be the goal...

And its Gorsuch.

Firing AG Yates is an overreach for a couple of reasons. 1) The AG must be independent and is not simply the President's enforecer. 2) The Whitehouse could have appointed a special attorney to defend their order from the Whitehouse legal counsel or even a private attorney. 3) Had Trump waited mere days, he may have had Session as his AG. 4) Session himself compounded the problem b/c when Yates was confirmed, Session asked about the independent duty of the AG to hold the president accountable. It was logistically unnecessary and politically stupid.

https://mobile.twitter.com/DanaSchwartzzz/status/825087958550196225 Looks like she deleted whatever was there. I didn't get to see it, what was it?
-
Yup, I imagine very shortly they'll start selling off federal assets and lands for pennies on the dollar.
-
Who is they? I think you're conflating two regimes, which I see a lot of in this thread, to somehow bolster that incompetence angle in not trading Dozier.
-
Perkins has no value. Esan may have value, but not much. Dozier's market is depleted. Are you suggesting they trade these pieces at any cost? And are you also suggesting such trades wouldn't affect their future dealings?
-
Has any one denied our top priority is starting pitching? That said, the most foolish thing to do would be deal your most valuable asset in a depleted market just fill a need. Bad teams can't waste valuable assets.
-
You realize that the man who presided over that track record is the one who dealt JDL, right? So I'm not sure why we should grant any more credence to what the TB GM thinks of the trade he just made.
-
Right. As you say, liberals lack focus, and their causes are many, and often these causes are national (even normative) issues. Running government isn't just issue-based, it's administrative, cumbersome and often small time, hence why conservative, money-making interests have the means and desire to run and occupy such posts.

Passan: Dodgers Nearing Deal for Forsythe
PseudoSABR replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has appreciated your contribution over the past couple of months--so, please, stick around. You've provided some much-needed perspective, and earnestly and even-handed, at that. Cheers. -
Passan: Dodgers Nearing Deal for Forsythe
PseudoSABR replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
This. This would be the new regime's first 'big' move and such a desperate act would cast an outsized shadow over their future dealings. -
My post was in levity as well. Although I didn't know what /snick meant, I was pretty sure your punctuation use indicated some kind of sarcasm. However, for my own part, evidently, my use of 'no?' isn't as sarcasm-indicating as I intend it.

Lifetime's brand has always been cheap takes on sentimentality, no?

Nor necessarily survive Supreme Court review. I think the courts will be an unanticipated inconvenience for much of what Trump and congress propose.

Passan: Dodgers Nearing Deal for Forsythe
PseudoSABR replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
That's precisely what I thought. It certainly would explain why their was long-going stalemate. The Dodgers never had any reason to offer value for Dozier, knowing they had a value-equivalency deal in their back pocket. The Dodgers could steadfastly keep a below value deal on the table on the off-chance the Twins took it out of desperate need to rebuild/make a splash. -
Well, we won't know how it ends until 2020, so maybe the plot will turn around by then.
-
You're going to great lengths to find some moral or logical inconsistency. I'm not saying every Trump voter is armed and waiting for the revolution (obviously). What I'm saying is the part of our population that mobilized Trump into a candidate (not all Trump voters) could become a dangerous minority in the near future.
-
You bet they are. The way my brother-in-law talks, had the election come out differently, many are eager to use them. If there will ever be a violent coup in U.S. history, I think it will come from this same element that just 'elected' Trump.
-
I think you've hit upon why I'm avoiding engaging with you on this issue.
-
I wholeheartedly agree with this, but I also think we have to realize that protest, by its nature, is confrontational (even at its most peaceful) and public (its membership can't be controlled). I don't think there's any amount of training or good-intentions that will keep protest from slipping, though infrequently, into angry, isolated mobs. If we let the actions of an inevitable few color our conception of protest, we've equated their cause with such action, and essentially silenced their collective voice.
-
I'm not sure what was more obviously going to happen: that tons of people were going to protest Trump, that some of those protesters would destroy property and attack the police, or that some people would complain about the protests on the day a hooligan like Trump becomes POTUS. Given the scale of the protests, that only two officers were hurt (not okay) and a hundred people arrested, protester violence is among the least news-worthy items of the day. Let's not normalize Trump on his first freaking day by focusing on the worst of those who oppose and away from the man we elected, his actions and his words.
