When you're in the process of getting a security clearance, they will try to find the people who despise you most. They want to identify anyone who could potentially compromise you in terms of blackmail. They want to interview the people who hate you the most and see if they have anything that can be used against you. I believe Clinton ended the ban on security clearance for gay employees, but if you were closeted and were trying to hide it from a deeply religious family, that still could potentially be a problem in terms of security.
LOL @ the democratic party. Why can't they win anything? Obama should've never given up his judge. Bush never had a majority and always did whatever the fuck he wanted. The Obama was a nice guy payments are coming due now.
The Democrats need to actually become progressive on issues that matter. For instance, singe payer healthcare matters and they should be pushing for it. Meanwhile nobody gives a flying fuck about fringe SJW stuff like transgender bathrooms. It's like they've adopted the worst parts of the left side of the political spectrum and none of the good stuff that actually matters like good social programs to help people. Because of that they come across as elitist and don't really connect with working class people, and many younger people are just totally indifferent to them. Younger voters are overwhelmingly not Republican and hate Republicans, but that doesn't make them Democrats.
Yep. And it’s a lifetime appointment for someone who could easily live another 30 years. Put aside the sex abuse allegations, and you still have a guy who is a partisan hack who apparently believes in wild Alex Jones type deep state conspiracy theories. In the past justices have generally had broad bipartisan support. Unlike losing the presidency, congress, and senate this can’t be undone. Their failure will haunt them for decades. I also predict there will be no blue wave. Voter turnout is notoriously low in midterm elections. Republicans may even gain seats in the house and senate. And Trump will get re-elected in 2020.
Pocahontas is at it again. She took a DNA test and "might" be 1/512th victim. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ws-DOES-distant-American-Indian-ancestor.html Why do Democrats make themselves such easy targets for bullying? I hate Trump, but seriously these people make it so easy for him. They are like that kid in school that the bullies wouldn't leave alone, where you just want to shake him and tell him to stop dressing like a dork and acting like a spaz. I've pretty much given up on Democrats as any kind of response to Trump. These people are clueless and hopeless and they are going to lose big in the midterms.
Seriously.... the whole Kavanaugh debacle stalled the momentum the democrats had. We went from debating how many seats they could take to now how many seats they are going to lose. A democrat was within the margin of error for winning Texas and now he's down 10 points.
I don't think they looked desperate with Kavanaugh. They actually had a lot of support from voter base and it looked like they were finally going to take a stand. But they couldn't deliver and folded. I think it's going to cause a major hit to the positive momentum going into the mid-terms. LOL @ Trump paying $1 million. She has a better shot at winning the presidency in 2020 than seeing his money. To be fair though, I feel like the truth is kinda embarrassing for Elizabeth Warren.... 1/512? Really?
This might shift the election back in favor of Democrats. It completely overshadowed the Central American migrant caravan story and made Trump and his followers look like dangerous lunatics. And of course this fuckin nut had to be from my neck of the woods. Why do all the crazies seem to come from Florida? Sounds like a great guy. And then there's this gem:
Trump rode into the White House on a wave of White Nationalism, so it will be a cold day in hell when he denounces it. A mass shooting at a synagogue isn't going to change anything. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...rump-jewish-group_us_5bd66a3de4b0d38b5884ee66
Gillum is way up in early voting. Hopefully that continues through election day. Also if Gillum wins I think it helps prove a theory I have. Which is that Democrats need younger, more progressive candidates to win. They've run bland. moderate candidates in FL in the past and have always lost. Those kinds of candidates just don't bring younger and minority voters to the polls, and they need those voters to win.
I agree. Donald Trump saying whatever popped into his head actually worked to his advantage instead of calculated image politics. Playing it safe won't work these days and the old school Democrats ALWAYS play it safe. Beto O'Rouke don't give a fuck in Texas, talking about nationalized healthcare, gender identity, and gun control. He's within 5 points of a Republican.... IN TEXAS...
Early voting is up 500% in TX and GA among younger voters. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...gia-beto-orourke-ted-cruz-trump-a8609916.html
No chance he gets impeached. Much easier to rally D-voters against him in 2020 then a regular GOP opponent. Turnouts gonna be yuge.
If they get a majority they can just block anything he tries to do, which effectively accomplishes the same thing. They could also make his life a living hell with more indictments and investigations. If they run anybody even remotely likable and charismatic they should win 2020 easily.
