Also, you're not very intelligent. Read some more books.

OK, Flora. You probably bought a copy of Moby Dick because you thought it was gay porn.

I didn't support Clinton,

Oh a Bernie  Commie?

Yeesh... :(

Quoteand Obama had his shortcomings (Although he was often stymied by a GOP house that has done fuck all since Trump has been in office other than be Trump's devoted collective-Nunes is chief bitch)... Your point?

That says nothing, Trump has accomplished more in his first 500 days then the last 3 presidents.

QuoteClinton has never and unlikely to be POTUS so how can she be in the frame of comparisons?

Una vez mas, y en Ingles por favor!

QuoteAnd Trump just wants to be adored. Its his raison d'être.

He keeps hitting home runs like the summit and he will continue to be.

Love the Jack Johnson and Ali pardons too.

QuoteHe doesn't actually know how to be POTUS, he just knows how to abuse people who don't adore him..Although Pence takes it to extremes by mirroring hs gestures.. He has true gimp potential.

Awesome tag team they make, WWE grade!

And you in a lather, it's a GOOD time to be alive!

She was Bill's top advisor during his administration, she was a US Senator, and she was Obama's top foreign policy official as Secretary of State.  ''The most qualified person to ever run for president'' as the Democrats would tell us.

I think her body of work - such as it is - is a very valid comparison when it comes to certain issues.

Qualified politically - in spades.

Compromised by Russia - check.

Loathed by almost all - Roger.

Devoid of soul or compassion - always.

Iow the perfect Dimotard.... ;)

Like a lot of Trump cultists, you make sweeping judgements about anyone who isn't devoted to Trump...Hail the Dear Leader.

Not that you'd ever admit it, but he's far from a Trump loyalist as our recent interchange demonstrated.

You have nothing in your debate quiver but personal animus, not one damned thing.

You think the GOP is representative of conservative principals in it's current form? Seriously?

You think "conservative principle" are binary?

Of course you do.

Hint - there is a spectrum from Libertarian to Authoritarian.

Learn to see shades of gray, asshole.


QuoteTrump despises separation of power, he wants to be supreme ruler, he's as much as said so.

Ekshually...that was Bush!

;D

QuoteHe has no interest in anyone else's opinion or expert advice, he really believes he knows everything...Maybe like the fat kid's father who invented the microwave oven, Trump really does have a mind the size of a planet? And he loves EOs...

Like Obozo did?

QuoteMcConnell gleefully told him to his face he would do all he could to block him at every path until he was out of office-before Obama's second term.

Another deep stater who must go.

QuoteThey blocked 500 bills and made the filibuster an art form. And that was as of 2014. And for all their distaste for the ACA (because their insurance and pharma benefactors didn't like it) they didn't come up with an alternative, and still haven't. What happened to that?

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Try not to lather up to much... ;D

But never POTUS... Can we blame Rex Tillerson Mike Pompeo after Trump has gone?

You can blame any R you wish, and you always will. >:(

How is that not a separation of power? I'd say it's far more separate than the US model

And you'd be a lying Royalist serf:

http://royalcentral.co.uk/blogs/insight/what-are-the-queens-powers-22069
POLITICAL POWERS

The Queen’s political powers nowadays are largely ceremonial, though some are actively used by The Queen such as at General Elections or are available in times of crisis and some are used by Ministers for expediency when needed.

Summoning/Proroguing Parliament â€" The Queen has the power to prorogue (suspend) and to summon (call back) Parliament â€" prorogation typically happens at the end of a parliamentary session, and the summoning occurs shortly after, when The Queen attends the State Opening of Parliament.
Royal Assent â€" It is The Queen’s right and responsibility to grant assent to bills from Parliament, signing them into law. Whilst, in theory, she could decide to refuse assent, the last Monarch to do this was Queen Anne in 1708.
Secondary Legislation â€" The Queen can create Orders-in-Council and Letters Patent, that regulate parts to do with the Crown, such as precedence, titles. Orders in Council are often used by Ministers nowadays to bring Acts of Parliament into law.
Appoint/Remove Ministers â€" Her Majesty also has the power to appoint and remove Ministers of the Crown.
Appointing the Prime Minister â€" The Queen is responsible for appointing the Prime Minister after a general election or a resignation, in a General Election The Queen will appoint the candidate who is likely to have the most support of the House of Commons. In the event of a resignation, The Queen listens to advice on who should be appointed as their successor.
Declaration of War â€" The Sovereign retains the power to declare war against other nations, though in practice this is done by the Prime Minister and Parliament of the day.
Freedom From Prosecution â€" Under British law, The Queen is above the law and cannot be prosecuted â€" she is also free from civil action.
JUDICIAL POWERS

The Queen’s judicial powers are now very minimal, and there is only really one which is used on a regular basis, with others having been delegated to judges and parliament through time.

Royal Pardon â€" The Royal Pardon was originally used to retract death sentences against those wrongly convicted. It is now used to correct errors in sentencing and was recently used to give a posthumous pardon to WW2 codebreaker, Alan Turing.
ARMED FORCES

The Queen’s powers in the Armed Forces are usually used on the advice of Generals and Parliament though some functions are retained by The Queen herself nowadays.

Commander-in-Chief â€" The Queen is commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces and all members swear an oath of allegiance to The Queen when they join; they are Her Majesty’s Armed Forces.
Commissioning of Officers â€" The Queen’s powers include the commissioning of officers into the Armed Forces and also removing commissions (when members of the Armed Forces salute and officers, they are saluting The Queen’s commission).
Disposition of the Forces â€" The organisation and disposition of the Armed Forces are part of the Royal Prerogative; the crown technically controls how the Armed Forces are used.

Mark Sanford is a commie then?  ???  I'm sure Mr Sanford is a free marketeer (the way the GOP likes to crow about) but Trump isn't.

Yet he's the one pushing for no international trade tariffs...oh well, you lose again.

QuoteHow does Nunes fit in to that? He seems to spend all his time currently undermining the DoJ and licking Trump's dick. And he does it shamelessly.

You're a crass piece of shit. >:(

Quote from: Yorkshire pud on June 13, 2018, 10:35:50 AM

How, we'll never know what she would be as POTUS, so it's a non sequitur.

It wasn't then, cope.

QuoteYou can only say you don't think she would be a worse POTUS than Trump, but you don't have a direct comparison.

Yeah he does.

We have her failed health care debacle to grade from.

You ass munch. >:(

He even said he was going to 'lock up Hillary' (quite how when he isn't the supreme ruler I don't think even he knows, but hey).

Patience grasshopper, these things take time...

QuoteThe tax thing runs out in a couple of years unless you're a millionaire, and as a sideline to that, the uptake on share by-back has been massive.

Investment portfolio is loving that!

QuoteAnd we were told the extra would be plowed back into company investment and wage rises.. Oh well, maybe next year.

Oh, you need examples?

A White House tally shows at least 275 companies have increased wages, announced bonuses or promised new hires since the law’s passage â€" a pace Trump said surprised him.

“We didn’t know this was going to happen so much,” he said Wednesday.
Jay Timmons, the president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers, said “now it’s up to business to deliver” on the promises they made as they advocated for their tax breaks.

His group has asked its 14,000 members for data on how the legislation has improved their businesses and the lives of their employees, and is preparing to share it with the White House and congressional leadership. “Our manufacturers are feeling optimistic,” Timmons said, adding that the White House effort would only help their efforts. :D :D :D :D

Obama was re-elected. McConnell carried on his pledge I suppose.

You "suppose"?

Like everything else, you "guess" or simply have no clue. :(

And for years stood on exactly what he's standing for now, but because he criticised Trump he was voted off..Not loyal enough you see.

Garsh, and that sort of thing never happens with the Demotards, now does it? :o

But he is FAR from being a "Trump cultist" as you already know.

Your argumentation module is so enfeebled that all you have is deceitful ad homs.

You really are quite the lightweight. :(

I spent today touring Havana, Cuba and I honestly can’t remember a more depressing travel experience.  Havana Harbor is filthy and oil slicked with very few ships and no pleasure craft. Many of the buildings in the city are literally crumbling yet are still occupied.   Commercial areas are lifeless having only the  meagerest of signage and display.  The only buildings that appear to be regularly maintained are government buildings, hotels and colocated touristy businesses owned by the government.  There were many working age people walking the streets or just hanging out during what is normal business hours in Latin America. There are few smiles and an amazingly consistent dourness of expression.  The depravation was palpable and my wife and I are bummed for experience.
