No kidding. Murkowski is tough AF. She seriously won an election by write in in 2010, and had to deal with threats against her by Trump for this vote. This lady is a force! I wish more senators stood up for what they believe is right and not what their donors want them to. I think McCain is going to be interesting to watch for the rest of his time in the Senate. He has nothing to lose anymore. From the articles I've read, he was disgusted by how McConnell handled this process. In the local climate we live in, having guts to do the right thing is nice to see. I'm not convinced Heller and a few others would have voted yes had McCain not gone out on a limb for them. First vote I've ever watched live.

The chickens are coming home to roost. The republicans made this mess by feeding the crazy animal that it's the alt right. Now, they have to deal with the consequences. I read a great article by vox today campaigning for a proportional democracy. It was interesting.

This is the biggest **** show I've ever seen. And it's taking place in the white house. Do the people whom voted for him feel good about this? Holy **** man (and a few women). It's like the twilight zone. It's only a matter of time before something really really bad happens, then what the **** is going to happen? When Lindsey Graham is threatening the presidency publicly.... there are more issues than we're aware of.

If Trump is destroyed, the people propping him up should be called out for it. I don't think simply reporting the facts is enough. The late night comedians are going savage, and it's working. I think CNN losses credibility when they have fanatics on their program that take a preposterous position. I'm not calling for Colbert to become a news host. I think the news has been far too gentle, despite what Trump says. I'm just at the point where they need to stop being politically correct to appease people who dislike politically correctness. What they are doing isn't working.

Well now that the G20 is over... the world leaders know for sure what Trump is made of. He is a spineless and ignorant pawn. I don't think for one second he pressured Putin about anything. I believe Tillerson has pushed the topic, but not Trump. When you hold a press conference on foreign soil and undermine our intelligence agencies and our free press... I really hope the amount of damage he does is contained during his term, but I loathe that we are no longer considered the leader of the free world. I would really like to see the media go savage on him. Not these little panels with people that have no shame contradicting themselves. I want full savagery. Destroy Trump everyday for the things he is doing. Fox News did it with Obama, they weren't accurate about the coverage and didn't care. They misrepresented through their teeth and continue to be the epitome of fake news. I'm not asking for that, just full on savagery with facts. It has to happen.

He was my adopt a prospect for a long time. Good luck to him. I feel that he will have an adjustment period.

Another nasty tweet by Trump. How anyone could support him at this point is beyond me. I've never seen an elected official act like this. It is simply shocking that our president is acting worse than a middle school bully.
-
I used sling for a little while. It was alright. Sometimes buffered more than I wanted, but whatever. Also had some shows/movies you could watch on demand. I'd recommend it. No experience with other platforms.

Champ, we don't need to sort through 5 different news sources to see what is going on. You can watch press conferences live, read the bcra actual text, watch the Senate question people live. We don't have to rely on third party sources all the time. When we do, like the recent opinions on the minimum wage in Seattle, it is important to look at various sources. I've read Robert Reich, the Washington post, and 538 weigh in on what is going on. I've already seen said study mischaracterized on Facebook by a right wing fanatic. Yes, cable is driven by ratings. We have stupid panels now that have people on opposite sides debate. It's terrible tv, but gets ratings. I'd love for a no nonsense, only the facts outlet, but it doesn't exist because most people find it boring.

I would be less anti Republican if they actually stood up to Trump. Also, the agendas currently being pushed are far from what I consider conservative, and closer to crazy. In Iowa we have had some nasty legislation passed this year. I will not vote for the Republican party again until I see candidates willing to stand against radical right wing agendas. Right now, only Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski have any balls.
-
Welcome to the discussion champ. I have a serious issue with what you're describing with the media. As far as I'm concerned, the only media outlet with a clear agenda is fox news. I don't think they lie, they just mislead. Others might have bias, but information presented is accurate. Distrust in journalism and the news is really difficult to swallow. We depend on the media to keep us informed and keep politicians honest. By discrediting the media, the right wing has succeeded in forming the truth they want to a percentage of Americans. There are really good journalists in our country. Polls and speculation are one thing, real journalism is another. They are not the same. A speculation being wrong does not mean an outlet is lying.

I'm pretty sure he is moving America to the left. Look at these special elections and polling numbers. The majority of Americans dislike Trump already, unless a miracle happens the gop is going to lose a lot of ground the next 2 elections.

Marriage is hard. You have to work at it to be successful. Reading books about marriage, being intentional about your time, truly listening to whatever she wants to talk to you about, making her feel special... the list is long. Again, its not easy. Some marriages are easier I imagine, but why would you want to be married to a roommate? Your partner should be just that, a partner in everything. Good luck, believe me, you'll need it at some point. I'll always be willing to support you, so pm if need anything.

Is that real? I mean, any normal administration I'd just assume it was a poor attempt at humor someone.... but I don't ****ing have any idea with this group. If he fires Mueller he is pulling the pin out of a grenade. **** is going to get real. This will ruin him and should ruin any supporter of his. People can't be that dumb right? Right? Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, well, then you can't get fooled again. - George W. Bush

Make no mistake, the democrats are digging their claws into this. The ironic thing is, most of the Trump base was up in arms over the drama surrounding Clinton, yet continue to disregard what is happening now. The voters in the middle, however, are going to look past this as easily. The best thing the democrats can do is continue this investigation until after the midterms, get Trump impeached then, and gain large majorities in 2020. The republicans on the other hand, I believe should cut bait asap. They're not though, through arrogance or fear.
-
It's not enough to impeach him imo. Unless there are tapes, it is only a hear say account. However, this has to strengthen the narrative that he is a slime ball. Comey is great in front of Congress. He will skillfully navigate any question to what he wants to imply. The big question here, is how much disdain he has for Trump. There is no good outcome for Trump at this point, only a meh or a really really bad one. The investigation will still continue, which I argue is worse than impeachment for the GOP.

I voted for Because. Sorry i'm not sorry.

The real question is whether or not Alex Jones or Breitbart referenced it. According to our president, they have the most credibility.
-
I've wanted that every night since I read about it.
-
CNN is reading Comey statements/memos. Wow. All I can say, is this guy better go down. Hopefully his whole cabinet goes with him. Lol, and fox news claims he is clearing the air. What a shameful organization.
-
That's exactly what I thought when I read that tweet. How many would be dead had they had an ar15? Or even a 9mm with pocket full of clips? I'm not much for name calling, but the guy is a complete idiot.
-
GOP will not abandon him at all costs. The backlash from his radical base would be too much. While that base is shrinking, it will absolutely never dissipate. Even if fox news starts to bash him, which they never will, his base will ignore it. Facts don't matter to these people.
-
I don't think so pseudo. I think this is going to get worse and uglier before there is clarity. As more and more advisors and cabinet members become investigated, his true base will be emboldened. They didn't blink when he admitted sexual assault against women, no way they believe anything negative they hear. This isn't getting better. As long as some of these people are alive, facts don't matter. Trump and the gop will be shown for who they are to some, but to others, even smart people, get lost in the propaganda. I almost think things are bound to get really nasty. I mean, bombings of media outlets, assassination attempts, utter chaos. This was Russia's goal, and they are winning. Its really unbelievable to me, at this point I believe its up to Democrats to find a way to beat down this radical ideology we're now faced with.

Keep Berrios Expectations in Check
Badsmerf replied to Brandon Warne's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I have high expectations and I'm assuming he does as well. There is nothing wrong with that. Greatness is one thing, quality is another. If he is less than quality I will be disappointed. He doesn't even have to be consistent, just league average is fine at this point.
