McConnell froze....

[mandrill]

Perhaps try to find it in yourself to be consistent no matter who is posting. I was just pointing out the contradiction.

My bad was that I didn't give Anabrandy his due for his clever remark.

Let me see if I understand your complaint, Earp. Because I snarked at Dutchie and not you (or Anabrandy), I have to work on my consistency?

That sounds like a lot of work for skimming a thread on the politics board. I didn't realize you were so offended.

 

[mandrill]

Seriously, do you really think the Far Left House members are all brilliant and competent?

The reality is if you can get elected to Congress you have to have some skill. From my perspective, the extremists on both sides are playing the same game.

Earp, Boebert and Marge have no "skill". They have luck and the backing of the party machine and its money.

In an IQ competition, AOC beats Boebert and Marge hands down. That's Boebert and Marge's IQ added together - not taken individually - and compared to AOC's IQ. AOC is still 50 or 60 points ahead.

And they don't "play the same game". To a Canadian, AOC's ideas are pretty moderate and quite good. Boebert and Marge have no ideas. They're just fed talking points each morning by their staff and given enough caffeine, uppers or whatever to keep repeating those talking points for the entire day.

Your superpower is repeating sad GOP nonsense and pretending that any of it makes any real life sense.

I disagree with most of the positions taken by the so-called progressive wing but at least they belive in democracy.

Well at least you admit the Democratic caucus leans right.

 

[K Douglas]

You have all seen McConnell suddenly completely freeze in his press conference.

He looked like the guy who suddenly, mid speech, realize... 'my god I have been saying griberish conservator bull shit for nearly 50 years now! And those bastards still believe me!'...

He seriously had to be escorted out. He had no clue where he was.

Wouldn't be time to insure age limit are put in place to avoid these old fat prick to decide what's good for the younger generations? Take their power away from them. They are done. Move over.

I believe McConnell, Fienstein and Fetterman should all be removed from political office. They are not capable of doing their jobs.
I would say Biden too but the thought of having Kamala as POTUS is downright frightening.

Are you ok in the head? AOC's a radical leftie, not a moderate. Most Canadians would say she's a complete moron. She definitely has a lower IQ than MTG that I am sure about. With Boebert its close.

 

[dirtydaveiii]

I agree. Just because we read opinion polls of Americans that are extremely divergent from (especially GOP) policy, we shouldn't have the right to talk about what those Americans want.

But conservative americans send millions of dollars to conservative canadian groups in an attempt to have social influence so I guess we do have some right to voice our opinion

watch this video and tell me what you said is true :

 

[K Douglas]

watch this video and tell me what you said is true :

I don't need to look at some stupid video I am confident that MTG is smarter than AOC.

 

[Anbarandy]

Hmm (cough), you did see that Anabrandy pointed out my typo? It was funny and witty, but I want to point out you passed over it.

Dutch's was also relatively funny, but you felt compelled to comment.

Your "$335 million people" typo was a Freudian Friedmanian slip.

 

[y2kmark]

Yes, I agree that he did. Something is seriously wrong. He should step down. His constituents can't be properly served if he is experiencing some kind of cognitive difficulty. And as soon as he does, so should Biden, Fetterman, and Feinstein.

...Uncle Thomas, Donald Trump. Who else you want?

 

[y2kmark]

Pretty good indication of how smart YOU are...

if i didnt watch videos i could convince myself that Tim Tewbo is a far better QB than Tom Brady

Earp, Boebert and Marge have no "skill". They have luck and the backing of the party machine and its money.

"The party machine" is a bit hyperbolic. It insinuates there is some big national Republican cabal pulling the strings. The fact is like almost all major parties the party is made up of many forces coming together for the purpose of electing candidates.

I think we have been through this before. U.S. House candidates aren't hand-picked by the party. In our entire history, we have had House members who have been expressions of the extremes of each party. They simply represent extreme districts and are often able to remain popular at a very localized level.

Money will follow because there is so much money in the U.S. behind every force even those relatively unpopular on a national level. There is also the belief that when donating to a candidate on the fringe they will for good and bad not compromise regardless of the party establishment's wishes.

Man, it's a lot of work being TERB's intellectual presence.

 

[Dutch Oven]

Is Trump holding a public office? Who knew! LOL!

 

[Dutch Oven]

Oh, I'm sorry, Earp. Did you want me to comment on your typo as well?

Talk about missing the point with GUSTO!

I don't think AOC is a moron. She's playing a character and she plays it very well.

The progressive caucus has a lot of firebrands that often cross too far into anti-Americanism that would disturb even many Canadians. I'm not talking about racial issues, BLM or anything in that vein. Just a view that America's evil and has been throughout it's history. They have a general view that capitalism has been bad for Americans and the world.

Perhaps this view is very appealing to some of TERB's members. However, you can see why those progressive House members don't really have a political career beyond their progressive districts.

Hmm. Got any data on that?

I do not think she is playing a rolecany mire than many on the right belive in their positions. I do not include the despicables in that group because that group includes many who are too smart to truly belive the bs and some who are too dumb and gullible to know that it is just that.

What do you think would happen of it was Canadians sending money to American terrorists ?

In Canada, supreme court judges and senators must retire at 75.
