My question is why are Republicans so bad at these things? Are they inept at bring people to justice?

They are all mostly lawyers, and it takes a good one to become Congressmen or Senator.

I have a theory but would love to hear from you guys.

col·lu·sion
kəˈlo͞oZHən
noun
secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others.

Take a step back and look, Obama had a democratic congress for two years, did nothing for gun control. Screamed about it for the next six years. President Trump has a republican controlled congress, does nothing to repeal, replace, fix obamacare. Been promising it for the last 4 years.

The left is there to counteract the right and vice versa, neither one does anything to accomplish anything they just say words to make us feel better, make us feel like they are on 'our side'. But in reality the only ones who are being taken care of and the only ones who are getting a better life out of this is the political elite. Hillary got away with having to face a jury, if when the current investigation concludes I wouldn't be surprised if Trump gets a free pass on whatever evidence is brought against him.

Just my tin hat theory...

The shady DNC is being exposed for the criminal enterprise that it is.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald ... es-n871011

Howie seems hung up on the notion that because the Republican party has declared itself the party of "Family Values" and the Democrats are the party of "if it feels good, do it" their (Dems) transgressions are inconsequential.

Trump has consensual sex with a p0rn star and the left vilifies him, meanwhile accused rapist Bill Clinton gets a pass. And then there's JFK. Kennedy's infidelity was so bad that Jackie Kennedy demanded $20 million from Joe Kennedy to stay married to Jack, in case her husband "brings home any venereal disease from any of his sluts." Oh, and let's not forget about Harvey Weinstein (a Democrat). His antics in Hollywood were well known, but were brushed under the rug as long as his movies made money.

Maybe the title of this thread should be "Are all MEN Scumbags?"

I'd be fine with "are all politicians scumbags," because I'd say 90% is "all" in my eyes.

BTW, last month, the unemployment rate for black workers dropped to 6.6 percent, beating the previous record low of 6.8 percent set in December. The jobless rate for Hispanics fell to 4.8 percent, tying the record reached last year and in 2006.

Again, I'm no fan of the Orange Mouth, but Brobama sure as hell couldn't help minorities.

New FOIA docs show that FBI lost chain of custody for five weeks of Hillary Clinton's server.

Hmmmm. Now, tell me the Obama administration wasn't shady. You'll have to admit they were, at the very least, inept, and should be sanctioned for their crimes.

Go ahead, let's hear why this isn't a big deal. Howie, you might want to call in reinforcements on this one. God knows you're incapable of anything but rhetoric.

IDK, it seems like R's and D's aren't really on the same page right now, so I doubt they managed to pull off a conspiracy where they make sure neither side gets anything done.
Obama prioritized healthcare reform and after over a year the ACA was passed. Republican's wanted tax cuts, then went out and got it.

Taxes and healthcare are two HUGE things to make changes to, so if there is a conspiracy they both suck at it.
I would lean more towards an Occam's razor type explanation.

I don't know that we can credit specific policies, but more a generalized business-friendly tone - Deregulation and easing of meaningless restrictions leads to increased employment.

Frankly, I have an issue with us even counting 'race' in 2018, but that's another discussion for another time.

The reason I ask is because if you look at the data, giving Trump credit for record breaking unemployment rate for black/hispanic workers isn't arguing in good faith. In reality black unemployment has been dropping steadily since March of 2010 due to Obama administration and FED policies. It's like crediting Trump for not destroying a good thing; "he didn't crash the economy, thank God for him!"

In fact one could argue that Trump slowed black employment:

• Obama's Last 16 Months in office: 9.2% -> 7.9% = 1.3% decrease

• Trump's 1st 16 Months in office: 7.8% -> 6.6% = 1.2% decrease

https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000006
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007

And that may well be.

But it's intellectually dishonest to think that ANY POTUS doesn't take credit for improvements that occur on their watch.

Further, if each administration's stats are simply a 'delayed reaction' to the previous admin's policies, I'd then submit that BHO's "magic wand" speech was disingenuous, if not completely misleading.

GWB certainly didn't get credit for a 4-point decline in unemployment happening on his watch.

And I stick to my contention that these stats are fundamentally flawed, since they rely on an indefinable metric (race) with its own set of confounding factors.

Former California Sen. Leland Yee (D) was sentenced to five years in prison on 8 May for accepting bribes and trafficking in arms.

Throughout Yee’s political career, he was a staunch gun control advocate, the Washington Post reported. Two years before Yee was arrested, he told CBS: “It is extremely important that individuals in the state of California do not own assault weapons. I mean that is just so crystal clear — there is no debate, no discussion.”

That wasn't the point I was making.
The point I was making is stating that "Brobama" couldn't help minorities while insinuating that Trump has, because unemployment rates dropped 1.2% under Trump while under Obama it dropped 9% is to say the least head scratching.

As for taking credit for improvement on their watch, I think it will come down to context. In some cases you will be right where people will undeservingly take credit for others accomplishments but in this specific case, the data doesn't show that.

No head-scratching needed. You and I know enough about statistics to know that these particular measures are specious at best.

Hell, there's a possibility the -1.2% are due to BHO's policies and the -9% are due to GWB's.

Like you said, my "last month" drop may well be a useless metric - and maybe the historical chart simply gives us something else to argue about, and can't be attributed to Presidential action. I'd contend, as I said before, that ANY measure based on 'race' is a crock of crap anyway.

Aaaaand, there's this:

The unemployment rate ticked down to a seasonally adjusted 3.8%, matching April 2000 as the lowest reading since 1969, the Labor Department said Friday.

I'm not interested in including 'race' as a metric - since gender is allegedly fluid, I'd argue that race is even less of an accurate measure. Plus, a rising tide lifts all ships.

A rising tide lifts all ships, except for the ones that sank.

Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi doesn’t think the stellar jobs report is a good thing. I'm guessing because it happened under Republican control of the White House and Congress. Which creates a conundrum, if this good news really isn't good why did Barack Obama try to take credit for Trump’s economic growth?

Is it too late to put Pelosi on one of those sunk ships?

It's unreal how the DNC can poop all over positive news. They did it with the NK/SK talks. They whine about tariff discussions (with even less Econ savvy than Bernie Sanders). They whine about DACA and forget who seized Elian Gonzales at gunpoint. They defend MS13 just because POTUS referred to them as 'animals'' - while they're safe and protected from MS13 thugs. They cry about firearms, while being guarded 24/7 by men - with guns.

Cognitive dissonance is the rallying cry of the left. IDGAF about the GOP, but I have a seething disdain for science-deniers and people who openly ignore logic.

I haven't heard anything negative about the NK/SK talks but I do have some issues with the NK/US talks...
They are happening in secret and there isn't much coming from them. When you don't trust Trump as far as you can throw him you are nervous about what is happening behind closed doors. But no matter what Nancy Pelosi says I am excited for peace but I don't trust either Kim or Trump so I have my reservations. Also imagine President Franklin Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson talking about Hitler the way Trump talks about Kim. That whole scene should make anyone cringe.

Tariff discussions? You mean Trump saving Chinese jobs while pissing off every ally in the US circle of influence? I am not mad about tariff adjustments I am upset about the trade war. I would love to see this awesome economy not begin to slow.

Yeah Democrats don't REALLY care about those with DACA status because in the 90s a Cuban kid, who's mother died during the Cuba-US crossing, made it to the US but wanted to go back to Cuba and who's father wanted him back in Cuba stayed with relatives that didn't want him to go back to Cuba so after negotiations with the family failed they forcefully removed him and returned him to his father.
That sounds like a Fox News talking point. Not arguing in good faith man. Yuck.

I don't understand the MS13 talking point from the right...
Like NO ONE wants MS13. NO ONE is defending a gang of murders.
When Trump calls people infestations and animals the right thinks he is talking about the TRILLIONS of MS13 gang members pouring into the Southern US slaughtering anything that stands.
When the left hears that they think he is dehumanizing people who are coming to the US looking for respite from MS13 in Central America. Once people become animals and infestations then they aren't human, they are insects that need to be put down. We need to learn from history or we are doomed to repeat it.
BTW the left also wants to get rid of MS13 they just don't think every non-white person at the border is one of them.

My point being, don't blame the politicians for being hypocritical about gun regulation, blame the people who voted them in who want it.

I wish as a nation we could go back to discussing amnesty VS catch and release VS prosecution. Those were the days! You can accomplish any of those things without separating children. I figured as America's we could agree on that but this thread is soo disappointing.

I understand the anti-Trump fatigue but if we give up calling him out (or any other politician) on his BS then we normalize his behavior. Are Trump type candidates what you want to be the new normal? What a legacy to leave the next generations. Remember when a single controversy could taint a whole administration? With Trump it's a new one nearly every week and we lose track of the others. This sh*t is bad news and what is happening at the border is a new low. We are better than this.

As for abortions, neither the left or right want abortions.
One side's solution is making it illegal.
The other side wants to reduce it with sexual education at younger ages, cheap/free contraceptives for those who want it, and further investments and improvements of the foster care system. The extra sex ed, free contraceptives, and foster care will cost more taxes.

Representative Devin Nunes, (CA) stated in an interview along side comedian Paul Rodriguez, “There’s a half a million acres of farmland, it’s bigger than the size of Rhode Island, that’s now dry because of these fools!”

TL;DR neither of these articles back up your claim that Ds are scumbags.

- This California Town Conserved So Much Water It Had to Dump 550,000 Gallons Of It
In 2015 one town managed to beat their expected water usage while dumping unsafe drinking water and this is evidence that it doesn't make sense for the state of California to be managing it's water in 2018... What? How does that make sense?

Here is what is happening with California's water situation in 2018.
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-m ... story.html

- California Dumps a Trillion Gallon of Fresh Water in Ocean – Declares Water Shortage
So this article covers a two things:
a) There is plenty of rain fall and still a drought... seems fishy
b) During droughts there is a lot of water that goes directly into oceans. WTF!

Part A is easy. In the article they link to a Breitbart story:
"California’s crippling five-year drought has come to a temporary halt in the northern part of the state, as roughly 350 billion gallons of water came pouring into the region’s biggest reservoirs over the past few days, boosting storage to levels not seen in years.
However, the drought still remains in effect in Southern California."

So there you go, it rained a lot in the north and the south is still dry. This is how you get tons of rain, filled reservoirs while still being in a drought.

Part B isn't as black and white as Devin Nunes says it is.
Before human beings, 100% of the water in this article drained into the ocean. We have been siphoning that water for our cities, industries, and agriculture.
So what percentages are ok?

When times are bad they use a larger proportion of water for people, when things are doing better then allow more to go to the ocean.
Why allow any water to go to the ocean at all?
Because it would kill an entire ecosystem.

The article mentions that the Delta Smelt fish isn't endangered and they are correct, the Delta Smelt is worse than endangered it's critically endangered nearing on extinct.
Why give a sh*t about the delta smelt? Because it is a species that represents the health of an ecosystem. The delta smelt dies, then the salmon, then all the animals that feast on salmon during their migration etc.

So while it's easy to say "FISH OVER PEOPLE!!?" it's more than that. It's some farmers vs California's ecosystems. A balance needs to be met, people and farmers need water but we need to cut back if we are going to be able to keep things in balance.

Are Democrats scumbags because they don't want an ecological collapse?
Or are the farmers who want to farm in areas where the local ground water has be irresponsibly used being scumbags?

Rouge if you really care about California's water issues you should read this post which discusses it more holistically.
http://www.ledger.news/news/opinion/let ... 57bb0.html

Rouge if I didn't convince you that the California's ecosystems are worth keeping around read this article.

Dad: Girl in iconic photo wasn't separated at border.

I don't understand how this is a "GOTCHA!" talking point for the right...

Did children not get separated from their parents for on average longer than a month each because Time magazine used the wrong girl on their cover who wasn't separated?
At this point she represents that has happens at the border even if she was able to stay with her parents. The story isn't about her specifically, but the 2,000+ kids who live in a camp surrounded by fence.

Also Time magazine's editor chose the photo before the family came out with the information on her status.

Regardless of the conditions at the border, it's easy to criticize (drive-by governing) when you don't have a better solution... and when you haven't witnessed the scope and results of the problem on our southern border first-hand.

Here's a little more accurate info on the current status - albeit containing the same bogus pic.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/migrant-ch ... e-numbers/

Bottom line - Enforcing a law is not a crime. Ignoring it is.

Know what else is a crime? MY tax dollars going to food, shelter, medical and mental health care, clothing, educational support, supervision, and reunification support of kids who have been placed squarely in harm's way by their parent(s)... while veterans, our elderly, and American at-risk youth compete for limited and insufficient resources.

While POTUS is a tool, I'm a little more than surprised at the density of critics who still whine about this topic even after he took a risk via EO to override this practice... and how many of said critics haven't opened their own homes, wallets and hearts to any of these children.
