The non-invitation and reprimanding of Trump rings a little hollow when you remember that Bush was a far bigger monster than Trump in terms of actual actions and arguably worse to McCain as well. Then there's Kissinger... McCain was a portrait in contradictions, which he spun into an image of a maverick. He was attacked in the most ugly fashion by W in 2000, much worse than Trump, but he still supported Bush in 04 and attacked a fellow war hero in doing so. He was a war hero and survivor, but a committed war monger. He defended Obama's character but also attacked it. He was mixed up in the 80s financial corruption, but then fought to reform campaign finance. He hated Trump, but then voted with him plenty, worst of all for the tax scam. I just can't see why McCain was so buddy-buddy with Bush, who continues to get rehabilitated for no reason at all. Painting?

Sometimes America gets what it deserves.

I see the Washington Post isn't going to let the New York Times outdo them when it comes to normalizing conservatives.

Double post.

Here's an email I received yesterday (No, I'm not a conservative). Fellow Conservative, Obama is back, and he's trying to take over. He set up permanent shop in Washington, DC. He's behind a Congressional redistricting scheme to erase Conservatives from the map. He's having secret meetings with potential Trump challengers. Now his political machine has announced a 27-district 'Hit List' to try to take away our Majority. Please contribute $25 today to stop Obama's election interference! You don't have to read between the lines to see that Obama is trying to take over. He is the most powerful figure on the far Left -- and his ambition has no limits. STOP OBAMA'S SCHEME! DOUBLE-MATCH STATUS: ACTIVE Contribute $100 Contribute $75 Contribute $50 Contribute $25 Contribute Any Amount It's an American tradition that when a President steps down, he stops clinging to power. But Obama isn't doing that. His election interference is completely unprecedented - and each new scheme is worse than the last. Obama wants to be the man behind the curtains, hand-selecting the next Liberal President and pulling their strings. Contribute $25 today to stand up to Obama's election interference - your contribution will be DOUBLE-MATCHED! We need to counter his influence on the elections before his scheme succeeds. Thank you, Steve Scalise House Majority Whip

I don't believe she talked to any black people in the projects.Fox has her on to talk about immigration issues because Mexican American. Fox is good at playing the token card and I can't be racist/sexist, etc if I have a friend who is black/latino/female. Campos-Duffy along with her future husband were contestants on the Real World back in the early or mid 90s. She was one of the finalists to replace Lisa Ling when Ling left the on View but Elisabeth Hasselbeck was chosen instead.

At least we know some blacks from the projects wouldn't mind staying in those detention centers.

And you have people out there that wondered how slavery and Jim Crow lasted as long as it did.

Any comments on the Samantha Bee controversy? She called Ivanka a feckless [!@#$%^&*] and conservatives are calling for TBS to pull her show like ABC did Roseanne's. An eye for an eye.

I remember Bush's " You are either with us or you're against us" quote that riled up his base and the media to go after anybody that was against the Iraq war. I remember The Right destroying and going after anything of French origin because France was against the Iraq war (French fries being renamed Freedom Fries, pouring French wine into rivers, etc). Bush's attempt to privatize Social Security. Country radio stations censoring the Dixie Chicks because they didn't support the Iraq War and they attacked Bush. The Right using the Scott Peterson trial (he murdered his wife and unborn child) as a means to pass anti-abortion laws. I could go and on about W but I will stop right there.

If you live by the purity politic sword, you will die by the purity politic sword.

Here's the Democrats response if that happens.

Has anyone else noticed the pro NRA ads keep popping up on this and other websites?

I watched the gun violence "listening" session. Of course, the majority of the people there were people who were advocates for preventing gun violence through mental health means, people who want school employees to carry guns, and people who want heavily armed security. Trump suggested that gun free zones should be elimmated and that vets should be armed and work undercover as school employees.

No suprise to me. https://twitter.com/AP/status/966054698422882304?ref_src=twcamp^share|twsrc^m5|twgr^email|twcon^7046|twterm^0 I have been debating right wingers about gun control on another forum, and arguments are mind boggling to say the least.

You guys are better than me. These people are truly evil and they deserve to suffer. All they care is money and using it control all aspects of life. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-12/trump-budget-swaps-food-stamps-for-100-percent-american-food

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/fox-news-host-jeanine-pirro-blames-barack-obama-rob-porter-wife-beating-scandal/amp/ The Right is going to blame anything understand the sun that happens bad during the Trump regime on Obama or the Clintons.

I admire your optimism. Trump has said and done things that would destroyed previous presidents politically, but he still has his base and conservative political machine behind him. They are in the process of destroying social programs, and deregulating everything that was created by the New Deal, the Great Society and Obama era regulations and will either privatize it or hand it over to religious organizations. The gerrymandering, the disenfranchising voters, The Senate rubbing stamping Trump's federal judges, and the SCOTUS is a heart attack or a stroke or away from being a conservative dominated court for a generation.

The Republicans know they are untouchable to a point. They know they are going to get their wall, immigration reform, Trump will be reelected, etc. The only way I see a Democrat being President in my lifetime (I'm GenXer), is the country has to be in economic shambles, and the Republicans let a Democrat win. This is a conservative country that is controlled by Republican donors such as the Koch Brothers and their ilk. Maybe that the jaded, frustrated, worn down political soldier in me (figuratively speaking), that is coming to terms being on the losing side of this war.

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/01/the-trump-administration-just-gave-the-craziest-justification-for-allowing-doctors-to-deny-care-to-women-and-lgbt-people/ “In a press conference about the new Conscience and Religious Freedom Division, Roger Severino, a senior HHS official, said it was necessary to shield medical staffers who deny care on religious grounds, comparing their situation with that of Jews who were slaughtered during the Holocaust and Martin Luther King Jr. in his quest for racial justice.” So the question here is between two groups of people claiming their fundamental rights are being infringed upon. The first believes they have a right to basic health care regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. The other believes they have a right to deny them basic health care due to their religious beliefs.
