Malcador Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Well Ross Perot got dinged for it, once, though it seems a bit unfairly even if Perot is the kind of guy you feel like punching. It's one of those situations where context matters. Why has elegance found so little following?

smjjames Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Breaking news. Trump asked WH housekeepers to not pickup his shirts or touch his toothbrush. Impeach now! Trump 2020! If true, I guess he's not the kind of rich guy who likes having people clean up after him. At least as far as housekeeping goes anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 A pedophile who has never harmed anyone obviously has the same access to everything as anyone else. Why is this a question? In all likelihood, we’ll never even know this guy was a pedophile. Sure, but that's not the question here. The question is the people who DID harm someone. You can say anything, but I think (hope?) you would never send your kid to a school where a convicted sex offender is teaching or send your daughter to an interview with Harvey Weinstein even after he finishes his eventual sentence. I think this one is getting away from you Ben.

Epaminondas Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Marshalling my most cogent arguments: Bannon is a tool. yeah, so is Trump, but Trump has actually accomplished things. Bannon is just a dirt-bag who's shamelessly angling for glory. I'd bet he won't even be a ripple after the 2018 elections and, unless the Dems win big, he won't even be much of a ripple. I know there's unreasoning hatred for Trump, and dude brings it on himself, but he has accomplishments that people beyond his hardcore base cheer (sometimes even bravely enough to do it in public). Bannon has had some interesting and even good ideas, but he's worse than Trump. At least with Trump we all knew he was captive to his own vanity. With Bannon we're faced with someone who believes his vanity is patriotism. I'd take any one of you sorry wretched bastards who votes in every election, pays his taxes, and serves on juries all in anonymity over Bannon's self serving and self deluding brand of 'patriotism' any day. That said, no hard feelings and no sour grapes. Let the left laud the man they once despised and let Bannon bask in his fleeting glory. My take is that it will be short lived, but what do I know? We'll see whether I have a point eventually, I guess. Of course, if I'm right, most folks won't get the reference to Bannon because they'll have all but forgotten about him. A fate that wouldn't bother me at all but would be tragic in his eyes, to be sure. χαίρετε Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epaminondas Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Sorry, Pidesco, he does have accomplishments that even Never Trumpers applaud. Gorsuch, the Keystone Pipeline, regulatory roll-back, and the tax bill are accomplishments. They are accomplishments that the left might despise, but they are accomplishments nonetheless. For there to be a sincere debate, it would help if the left would concede that Trump has actually followed through with several campaign promises. You might not like them, but there it is. NB When I say sorry, I don't mean sorry to speak the truth, only that the truth can sometimes be harsh and, for that, I am sorry. χαίρετε Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tax bill's value is more than a little debated, and additionally it wasn't his work in any way. Also it was an accomplishment in the same way that the Night of the Long Knives was an accomplishment: it achieved its goals but it wasn't something to be commended in any way. The undiscriminated regulatory roll back is a catastrophe in some ways, scattershot and insane in others. I guess I can give you the pipeline.

Bartimaeus Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Gorsuch could be considered an accomplishment in the sense that he, Trump, was elected, by which Gorsuch was allowed to be nominated. That makes it partly his accomplishment - more that scumbag McConnell's than his, though, I'd say. Of course, there's an argument to be made that any almost other Republican candidate would've fared better in the general election than Trump, but ultimately, he did get the job done (..even if he DID lose the popular vote by 2 million-plus votes - our election system's fault, not Trump's). Edited January 4, 2018 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

smjjames Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 He would brag about being responsible for the sky being blue if he thought it would get peoples attention. Let me just state that I completely get and grok and all that the economic boosts that the offshore oil drilling expansion is supposed to have, but even conservatives would have misgivings about offshore oil drilling where they don't want them. Trump is setting himself up for a massive environmental fight by aiming to open up the entire Atlantic and Pacific coasts to offshore oil drilling. TheHill article with some other details.There have been some Republicans opposing it and the Governors of Florida (a Republican), Virginia, North Carolina, and the Gov-elect of New Jersey have opposed it as well. Gov. Brown of California hasn't said anything yet, but I fully expect him to oppose it. I've also seen some stuff about possibly off of Hawaii.The west coast is a particular problem for oil drilling because it's a seismically active region (California especially) and it's going to become a massive fight locally everywhere.
