Is it possible that he could be impeached


Almost a certainty.

Nope.

Not the most pressing issue, but probably?

At the very least, it’ll be a stalemate, with vetoes and budget battles, right?


Yes. And also investigations. So many investigations.

Then in 2 years the battle, with bigger stakes, starts all over again.

A lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

If only Obama and Biden hadn’t told Putin it was ok to invade Ukraine


And they did that how???

quote:

Old Sarge:
President Barack Obama chose not to launch a military intervention during Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea because of complex local politics in Ukraine, weak European backing, and fears of a broader escalation.


By not launching a military intervention?

One issue with this conclusion is that the people in power get more donations.

R's hold all the power, so they get a lot more money.

If the D's get the House, they will see more donations. If they get both the House and Senate, donations will go up a lot.

At the end of the day, Rs will still probably raise more money as long Rs hold at least, one of the House, Senate or White House as business generally favors Rs.

Then it starts all over again for the next presidential race.

Why give people a heads up that you are about to target them?

WTH? Why would anybody care if what a student group in Boston thinks of a race in Ohio?

Just weird.

Republicans will get wiped out in the midterms


Wiped out? No.

But they will most likely lose the House and it is more likely than not they lose the Senate (though I still have my doubts about that one).

Either way it will be relatively close in both chambers. Expect gridlock and a lot of investigations.

Universal healthcare relies on a classic demographic pyramid: a large base of working-age people paying income and corporate taxes to fund the medical needs of a smaller, older population.


Are you under the illusion that this isn't the case with American Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid?

They are worse off than us, but make no mistake, we are all on the same highway and heading to the same destination; the US is just getting there a little slower.

From one of the comments:

"It’s totally sarcasm, dude. But they’re good at it. They also have articles defending cannibalism and adultery on this site. They manage to write it all with a straight face and their veneer never cracks. I wish I were half this good."

I really don't know.
I just cannot envision a statewide republican losing in Texas.

But I don't follow Texas politics that closely.

Waay better than the alternative possibility where Skynet is our overlord.
To be clear, I don’t care about this thread. I didn’t even read it. You might be absolutely correct.

I am commenting on the general idea that people seem to particularly call out SFP.
quote:

Is your argument the more you talk about someone the more correct they are?


The more you talk about someone the more you seem infatuated you are with them.

And as a corollary, people not to argue with those they can easily dismiss. It's not worth the effort.

So you (and lots of those on this board) spend time and energy on him because he irks you. But part of that is that you cannot easily dismiss him.

Why? Is your argument that he gets called out on the PT (by name in the titles no less) because he is so wrong? There are a lot more people with a lot dumber arguments in this board.

So no, I don't know if he is correct or not. I do tend to find him at least thoughtful. I just know a large number of people spend time calling out a specific poster. To me, that's a not just notable, that's actually amusing.


However, there is an alternative theory, at least for a subsection of posters. It might be that people enjoy the clash of ideas. This very much might be your motivation. And he clearly does as well.

And honestly, the PT could use more of that.
