The Trump Presidency 2.0

[amlove21]

For anyone like me who clicked on the link and noticed "JUSTICE JACKSON" over and over, that's verbatim from the ruling and found throughout and used by other justices. Normally I'd take all caps to have a secondary meaning, but in this instance that appears to be a "thing" in the SC's document. ACB is following a format, not yelling at another judge.

I had to open the docs as well, I had no clue why it was written like that.

To be fair, I can totally picture ACB getting a few in her (I'm guessing white wine or whisky with little options in between, maybe a marg or two on a beach) and breaking out some mean girl shit on another woman.

In this case though, some weird court or legal format is to blame and we'll have to settle for JUSTICE JUMANJI some other day.

This is gonna bite the conservatives badly in the future

No, you may think that, but you are wrong.
This ruling limits the implimentation of lawfare by both sides.

News reports are indicating that Syria might join the Abraham Accords. If that happens, and if Saudi Arabia follows... wow.

@AWP absolutely cooked when he highlighted the AA Part Deux... if this happens, it's the single biggest diplomatic win of all of our lifetimes, and there isn't a number 2.

"Peace in the middle east" is equal parts a joke, a cynical take, and a meme.

If the President does it, though...

I never thought I'd live to see the Berlin Wall come down...
or the end of the Cold War...
or a North Korean leader meeting with a US President...
or American bombers dropping big ass bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities...
or humans who identify as non-binary...

Anything is possible.

This goes back to something we've talked about a lot on the board over the years: giving war a chance. Trying to play nice and use "soft power" in dealing with the Palestinians, or the Iranians, or Syria or Iraq or Russia or anyone else going back to the founding of our country does. not. work. To quote one of the least-likeable characters from one of my favorite TV series (except Season 8--fuck you, Season 8): "POWER is power."

Sometimes you've got to let them fight it out. If the war wasn't unnaturally prolonged between the Palestinians and the Israelis though things like UNRWA, they could have sorted all of this out a loooonnnnggg time ago. If it wasn't for making bold, sweeping, bull-in-the-china-shop moves like moving the US emabassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem where it belongs, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now, with peace about to break out between Israel and the parts of the Arab world that matter.

If Trump were to broker ANY degree of peace in the middle east - the democrats will surely impeach him for it.

It's hard to overstate how completely the far left in America has fallen apart. If this continues much longer, it will be hard for them to have much of a showing nationally in the coming years.

What a weird conversation we are having- do per capita next to compare the groups on a metric that’s level.

Per capita, LGBTQ individuals identify as democrats and vote as such… that’s pretty solid.

I don't qualify my own political leanings because of stuff like this. I just found it odd that "daughter is lesbian == i lean left".. Am I supposed to be left leaning because I have two dads? but I think the point is made and don't want to drag on

This was a discussion between you and @AWP, but it's a forum so I chimed in because @AWP mentioned that he leaned left on a single issue. I lean left on social safety nets, but I am very conservative on more issues than not. It doesn't mean one leans left in his politics if he doesn't agree with his party on everything, and certain issues are partisan.
