My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Planets

It's one thing to wear black face and another to tell rape jokes, but doing both at the same time is a bit too much.

"More than 12 benefits in 36 months should disqualify someone, perhaps permanently, from achieving their goal of citizenship regardless of their personal story?"

You're reading something into it that's not there. Even if someone was on benefits the previous year, but their circumstances changed so it's judged that they wouldn't need to rely on that specific set of benefits in the future, then they probably would not be denied if they articulated their case clearly.

Another option is they could have a friend or family member in the U.S. "sponsor" them, which is usually the case when a citizen or permanent resident brings a spouse or family member to the U.S.

FTA:

Refugees or asylum seekers would be exempt, and the rules would not be applied retroactively

Women who are pregnant and on Medicaid or who need public assistance will not be subject to the new rules during the pregnancy and for 60 days after the birth of the baby.

The Medicare Part D low-income subsidy won't be considered a public benefit. And public benefits received by children up until age 21 won't be considered. Nor will emergency medical assistance, school lunch programs, foster care or adoption, student loans and mortgages, food pantries, homeless shelters or disaster relief.

"Google served up your preferences. LOL. What's really funny is you unknowingly told us."

Hmm. Maybe that's why I always see articles about an asteroid being on an imminent collusion path with the Earth.

I've always enjoyed watching "New Rules" on Bill Maher's show. Never knew it was this powerful.

"Megyn Kelly just used the term Blackface as a long ago Halloween costume and she got fired"

The example she was talking about wasn't even "Blackface".

The article doesn't appear to have an image of the alleged blackface.

Was it wearing roller skates? Otherwise fake news.

It still says connection refused when trying to open the site with Chrome.

The change is not anywhere near as big as the drama queen article is trying to make out.

Why don't people pronounce his name correctly? Is it really than much harder than Buttigieg?

"Hey maybe the Mueller report will come out soon and everything you been wishing for the last two years will come true. Oops, never mind. How are you gonna to deal with President Trump all the way through 2024. You poor bastard"

You know you're talking to bot, right? It will just keep on doing what it's always been doing. I honestly think whoever is it behind it would be happy to see the little orange manchild reelected.

Mike Lofgren is the Winger of politics.

Yawn. He's not even trying to make a coherent argument anymore and is going full ad hominem. Brilliant strategy that, attacking voters who aren't already 100% on board with both your views and your strategy of how to effect them. I suppose next he'll be trotting out the "your using Republican talking points" talking point. Because that goes down so well with voters in swing states.

Whatever else I think of her, I think Pelosi has a better sense of making political calculations than people who want to roar and hear themselves stating the obvious.

It's funny how Pinche calls me uninformed when he demonstrated how he was misinformed earlier in the thread. And then he basically calls me a Trump voter. 0 for 2. He's proving every point I made

"but it will sway knowledge deficit voters"

Like Hillary Clinton swayed the "knowledge deficit voters" by repeating the same thing over and over, becoming louder and more annoying each time? Or how Obama's opponents thought they could sway people by calling them "low information voters"? You really know how to pick a losing strategy.

"that Trump is a traitor (which is only the truth)."

Unless Trump slips up and provides actual evidence of a crime (like Clinton did with his perjury), it's not going to sway anyone's opinion on it. Any attempt to pivot to more substantial issues would be drowned out or linked to this half-assed failure by the Republicans' fake outrage.

The question I haven't seen anyone ask is whether the company itself cooperated or coordinated with the feds in order to either avoid or get a lesser fine for employing the illegals.

"Like a half-assed impeachment proceeding that had a Republican led House impeaching Bill Clinton, them knowing that a Democrat led Senate would acquit?"

Ah, I see you are posting from an alternate universe where the Democrats controlled the Senate in the late '90s, rather the 55-45 majority Republicans had in the real universe. The fact of the matter is that even the Republicans waited until Clinton hung himself with the rope they gave him and basically admitted he committed the perjury crime on national TV on the either same day or the day after he did it.

"You're missing what this thread is about and what Mike Lofgren is getting at."

What does that have to do with impeachment? You haven't articulated how half-assed impeachment will successfully even raise awareness about, much less stop, the problem you're referencing. You're basically giving ammunition to those who say "both sides are the same" when you urge Democrats to behave the same way you perceived Republicans acting.

Whoops, 104 was in the wrong thread.

Latest statement from Biden: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and spoon hug somebody and wouldn't lose any voters, okay?"

"If Rcade does start posting again, I bet he won't be pimping Winger as a talented hair band from the late 1980's."

Says the guy who probably never even listened to any of their music and relies solely on what some fictional cartoon character told him. I'm not surprised that you didn't even get that B&B were the main characters being made fun of.

Another thing that people seem to be forgetting is that the political pendulum tends to swing naturally. Those who are trying too hard to be an equal and opposite bold force to the aberration that's currently in office are interfering with the public's ability to judge whether he's being kept in check.

You seemed to have missed the part of article where it points out the Democrats trying to be "bold" are failing just as much as the ones described as "tepid". At the very least, Democrats would need to articulate a message that's strong enough to convince the public before moving ahead on impeachment, even if they know conviction is unlikely. They clearly missed that boat when the Mueller report and testimony fizzled out.

"^^ Attn: FBI Intervention Team"

What was the original headline? I used to document the original headlines in the first post, but I couldn't keep up with it and it was interfering with my ability to search through my posting history for meaningful threads that I had participated in.

Rcade (or someone here) must think it's worth the time to wipe the OP's ass every day. Except for the times when they just push its threads to front page as is.
