I think it comes up as an election issue. If the Dems continue to press it you'll probably see a lot of ads about it.

Gun control will certainly be an issue, but this specific piece of legislation will die in a filing cabinet.

Abbott is solidly entrenched in that spot, but I think he’s a lot of bluster; talks like a far right politician, but doesn’t always act that way. Now, Dan Patrick, he needs to go. He’s going to turn us into Kansas, Oklahoma, or Louisiana from the Lt Gov spot. |

It has a lot more support now than it did then. I think the jury's still out though because if there's anything that will make the GOP voters turn out for a mid-term, it's this. It would need to have a lot more support than detractors for that to happen, but it does(65-70% from the polls I see). Also, I think it's wrong to say it was a primary reason for the GOP '94 win. I'd classify that as pretty bad analysis, though I'm sure it did contribute some. |

Speaking of that "blue wave", I checked in on the progress of that - since the presidential election, 40 state legislative seats have flipped from red to blue, and only 4 have flipped the other way. Small potatoes numbers-wise considering the number of state legislators out there, but that's pretty big ratio. |

About a hundred news stories broke today, but this shouldn't get lost. This makes the NSA, CIA, FBI and Cyber Command that all say the Russians are/will attack the 2018 election and our current response to that threat is minimal.

Absolutely blows my mind that the sanctions that Congress approved haven't been implemented. In a real presidency, we'd basically be at war with the Russians for doing what they've done.

Who said start a war? But certainly we can act to curtail their attempts at influencing our elections and enforce sanctions against them. Right?

Sigh...calling for them to enforce sanctions, that were already approved by Congress, isn’t asking to start a war. Calling for the government to protect our info, elections, and way of life isn’t asking for them to start a war either. I’m just asking them to do their job in protecting its citizens; one of the main responsibilities of a government.

You said "basically be at war" not me. I'm not mincing your words either unless you don't understand what basically be at war means. If you meant the other stuff why say a real president would basically be at war? I've said before I'm not a Trump supporter in any way, shape, or form but the rhetoric from the left is just as ludicrous as it was against Obama when a lot of you guys rightfully called out how ridiculous the opposition was being. Life didn't change much during 2009-2016 and it isn't changing that much now either. It's convenient to blame the latest big story like mass shootings on Trump (which happened in droves during Clinton's presidency and Obama's as well) just like it was convenient for idiots to say how bad race relations were under Obama (when they were just as bad under Bush, Reagan etc) Last edited by panerd : 02-28-2018 at 01:21 PM. |

I think, though, that this is where Trump's complete lack of credibility helps him.
If, say, Jeb was talking like this, the base would freak out because Jeb is not an ignorant liar. They would assume that he understood the issue and meant what he said about it. It is so obvious at this point that (1) Trump has no clue about any policy issues, and (2) lies constantly, that we've all just internalized it. The base can hear Trump talking about the state taking away guns without any process and (correctly) figure that absolutely nothing will come of it. Hell, Trump interjecting himself into the debate is the best thing from the perspective of those who like the status quo. When Trump stays out of the way (judges, the tax bill), the GOP gets stuff done. When Trump gets involved (immigration), he gums it all up. |

Someone Forged a Nomination of Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Twice.
I think someone is a little jealous that Obama got this award and Trump hasn't.

The lady sitting next to the VP - her face is a picture when Trump slaps down Pence’s idea of not affecting anybody’s rights, and recommends not bothering about due process!
Have to hand it to him, he still finds new ways of surprising people!

As funny as Trump is, it's going to be even better when the, "we need guns to stop government tyranny," decide that Trump in fact is right and the police do need to confiscate guns from some people.

So looks like Hope Hicks might have resigned because Trump berated her for telling the House Committee that she lied for him.
Trump berated Hope Hicks for telling Congress she sometimes lies for him -- and that was her ‘final straw’: report

Here’s my homework since you’re asking: My assumption is that a normal president, that isn’t under some direct or indirect influence, would have implemented the sanctions that Congress, a Republican controlled one, approved last year. Those sanctions were based on direct info from our own and our allies intel and have been confirmed by those in the know on the left and the right. With those sanctions in place, I would imagine that any other escalation of activities or issues, such as Russian state militias attacking our troops in Syria or the continued hacking and manipulation that our intel agencies continue to report, would see a similar escalation on our end. It may not be in the form of a “physical war” instead taking on the form of a cyberwar as we take on more of an offensive role towards Russia online in trying to combat their efforts. In my opinion, that would put us “basically at war” with Russia. |

I don't think liberals are as excited to eschew due process as they are to see Trump say something that finally has his supporters up in arms about something he did. When T_D is giving Obama positive comparisons to Trump on gun control, the cacophony of the echo chamber dies for a moment and you can just see their faces contorting as if moving them in a certain way will bring these words into focus so they can go on blindly supporting this buffoon.

I don't buy my guns from Dicks's, BassPro, Walmart etc. (and only the occasional ammo)
There are a lot of "indie" gun stores that are probably jumping for joy right now and making a killing. I'm okay with that, supporting smaller businesses etc. |
