I wish the filibuster would just go away. If a party controls a majority of the houses and the Pres, it seems like they should get to do what they want. If they want to put unqualified people into positions of power, then they should get to. And then they are responsible for the results. It...

I honestly did not get what you meant. I wasn't trying to be dense. Please at least acknowledge that a reasonable person may not have understood this. Yeah, I get it now. The thing that threw me is that people only get arrested when someone thinks they did commit a crime. Planning an attack is...

Yes, it is a racist cliche that you think the children in these countries are taught to hate America. Painting all people of a group due to the actions of a very few is prejudice. When race is involved (here, Persian/Arabian) then it is racism. If you would prefer, I will use the term prejudiced...

Okay, why? Why does that matter? Most of the incidents are in Muslim-majority countries. None were killed by people that the ban would have prevented from coming here. Again, why does that matter? Most of the incidents are in Muslim-majority countries. Why does that matter? Why don't...

Why would they be arrested prior to committing crimes?

Remember the old saying, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" Perhaps people thought Trump was doing that. So people are doing unto him as he has done unto others. He spent 7 and a half years undermining Obama with the birther crap. So why is anyone upset that people undermine...

Yeah, I think most of these people will get approved. And they should, unless they are really unqualified. Some of what the Senate Dems are doing is just trying to slow down the process. Some of the nominees are not being vetted well. I'm not sure why Trump doesn't think cabinet nominees should...

These people could really use a good therapist. I know a few if anyone wants recommendations. Don't just go to any therapist - there are lousy ones, as in any profession.

Yeah, they don't require judicial approval. But administrations run by adult humans usually run these things by some lawyers to make sure they are good. This administration prefers to just do things on their own. They don't want to run things by others because they are insecure and don't want to...

If you don't want to believe the teens, then we can just stick with the adults that Trump himself bragged about walking in on. In this case I will go with #1. It is very hard to prove the accusations. Trump is very litigious. Like when he tells contractors that he is not paying for work they...

What exactly IS the "problem the US has" that is being addressed? Of course we do not think they are the same. We are using hyperbole to make a point. That point is that just because someone takes action to TRY to address something, doesn't make it a good thing to do. I keep asking HOW Trump's...

Okay, let's break this down more. I didn't have time before and didn't think it was really necessary. But I have time now. I said that it is an embarrassment that Trump is Pres of the USA. One of the reasons I gave is that he has gone backstage at beauty pageants to look at the girls while they...

Okay, just a stupid joke from the liberal groupthink twitterverse. Should the Senate actually confirm Gorsuch during Trump's last year in office?

Was this in reply to me saying why Trump is an embarrassment? Where I talked about him going backstage at a teen beauty pageant? Are you equating what Bill Clinton did to Trump ogling girls as young as 15? I hope you are not a high school teacher. Or a parent. His horrible behavior is not just...

Oh sure, flatter me. :) I guess I would like to know what these groupthink talking points are? And which group it is. I try hard to think for myself. You aren't actually "pointing them out" when you use that term without being specific. If you use it in this vague, general way then it just seems...

Ah, gotcha. That makes sense. I'm still trying to determine what the EO did that made it worth doing.

Ha ha ha. That is funny. How's that? Okay, wait, what? You think the swamp was created by Obama? And you think Trump is draining it? How is he draining it? By having an administration full of billionaires and white nationalists? Here is the summary paragraph from the Conservative Review "It's...

Why do these other things affect whether Trump's ban is a good idea? If the other ones were bad, would that make Trump's bad? Please explain the causal relationship here.
