At the end of the day, dems are maintaining some dignity and forcing these people to resign. That’s a bad thing now? Then you have a republican senate candidate who: - Was twice removed from the Supreme Court of Alabama - Has multiple credible allegations of being a child molester - Doesn’t think Muslims should be allowed to serve in the Senate - Thinks homosexuality should be a crime - Thinks that we shouldn’t have any of the amendments after the Bill of Rights (So slavery, women’s and black people’s suffrage, etc) And despite all that, which is a clear example of someone who should not serve in the senate, the sitting president not only endorsed him but is campaigning for him. But people are criticizing the democrats move on asking Franken and Conyers to resign? Fuck off with that. ---

Honestly, i dont care what the Moore did, nor Trump. Not now. this whole weaponized-identity-politics is the real predator and i hope the republicans fight it tooth and nail and win. Also just saw this is happening tomorrow: [http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/364284-trump-to-sign-directive-to-send-americans-back-to-moon-eventually-to](http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/364284-trump-to-sign-directive-to-send-americans-back-to-moon-eventually-to) Trump signing order that Americans are going back to the moon and Mars. Honestly, this guy just keeps racking up the wins. It is truely something to watch. I also cannot stand all of these losers criticizing him over bullshit and what might happen. This guy is just lining up promises his predecessors made and didnt follow through on and he’s making it look easy. i genuinely believe that the left is just trying to throw shade on this guy to dampen how impressive his work really is. ---

Lol I spoke with my accountant yesterday and he does think the tax plan not being able to write off property taxes and nys income tax is go8ng to hurt nys, and make people want to leave. I know it won’t effect me negatively but wealthy people who create jobs are not going to like it, so jobs may end up leaving nys. That’s his point of view which makes sense. If there’s less people paying the taxes they will have to raise them more to fill the deficit left by the people leaving. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > Trust me dude, there’s nothing you can say that could trigger me because I put zero weight in anything you have to say. Why do you bother posting at all if you can’t have sustained discussion? Let me guess, because you ‘luv trollin libtards hurr durr.’ You point at the ‘other side’ over and over and over calling them sheep, blind to the truth, blah blah blah. But then you put blatant hypocrisy on display by covering your ears whenever someone tries to even talk about this stuff in detail. You believe the bullshit that helps you feel better about who you support. You make excuses for the obvious downfalls. You ignore the massive red flags. You do all the things that you accuse other people of doing. You are the sheep that you hate, it’s just that your bullshit is coming from a different direction. But hey, let’s derail the thread because you can’t stop yourself from being a prick yet again. I’ve shown that I’m willing to have these conversations with anyone regardless of perspective, opinions, or political leanings. If you want get over yourself and join in, great. If not, and I mean this from the bottom of my maple syrup flavored heart, fuck you, have a Merry Christmas, and put me on your ignore list. 🙂 > [@bing](#): > > you guys dont need to get all catty… jeez. I thought it was light hearted since he hasn’t had an outburst in a while, but I was mistaken. I’m just trying to keep the conversation going so please do let me know if I’m actually being insulting to people. I don’t want to discourage opposing views from being put out on display.
