Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[Diomedes]

No, but he read it.  He's an intelligent person.  He left the Republican party when McCain added Sarah Palin to his ticket.

I've since thought of other things I'd like to say.  For example, I'm not in love with vigilante justice generally, and that extends to spontaneious removal/destruction of statuary.  If the consensus of public opinion changes, then I have no problem at all with removal of even George Washington statues, but they ought to come down in orderly fashion.  Fifty people being pissed off enough to pull a statue down ain't what I'm talking about.

Agreed on that.

If they're coming down it's by crane and contractors not a mob of people.

Is it even possible to vandalize an obscenity like a Jefferson Davis statue?

farg it. Blow 'em to smithereens for all I care.   

[Diomedes]

The folks who will blow Jefferson Davis statues to smithereens seem willing to do the same to George Washington and Abe Lincoln statues, too. 

You're good with that?

I'm not. 

If we as a society have decided that the old heroes are no longer worthy of veneration, then I'd like to see the icons removed peaceably and safely.  If it turns out that even the likes of Washington and Lincoln are to have their reputations so reduced that the public no longer wants to honor them with statuary, them I'm good with their removal too. 

But I'm not on board with gangs of pissed off people unilaterally destroying shtein.

"They've got white people that are employed by the dozens in certain fields!" is certainly an argument.

The NyTimes swing state polls today were also brutal

[Rome]

I'm not sure what point Cotton is trying to make but he's precisely the sort of statue who should be pulled down and pummeled.

the amazing thing about the texas poll is cornyn is running 10 points better than trump

donald juliet trump is that farging toxic. hes also consistently running 5-10 points below his approval line in these states. but the best stat is like 55% of voters are saying they will NEVER vote for him. unpersuadable. so really its just about upping your vote totals as much as possible...the convincing job has been done.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Cornyn is a scourge on this country. I want him out.

In other news...this is a whoa holy shtein article

I've never met a single current or former member of the military who signed up to be willingly assassinated.

Trump is a treasonous farg.  I don't know what other level of proof is needed there, but whatever.
