Straight up popular vote... you can run a potato against trump and it would win. Now... the thing is... voter suppression... gerrymandering and electoral college.

WHat is insane about this whole thing is that there is no pretext to this act of aggression. The USA is ratcheting up tensions and goading Iran- it is ******* lunacy! When they deployed those war ships, they said there was “troubling and escalatory indications and warnings”... but no follow up. They have not provided any evidence at all... Looks like they are just going through the motions to preemptively strike Iran... Let's hope Congress gets a chance to stop this madness. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/05/09/if-the-us-is-going-to-war-with-iran-congress-needs-the-evidence-226867

Thanks Jay.

I hope you are right. I see your logic in this. I also see and agree many of the issues you underlined.

Oh ****. that is awesome- I was hoping that guy would play. He was injured correct? Wasn't sure if he was going to continue with football? That guy?

Did he sign? this the player from Hawaii?

Any reputable links you could share with us? Would be greatly appreciated. He's ridiculed because he peddles in falsehoods. He's been proven over and over that he is a fraud and that his data is not reputable. Why should anyone take what he has to say seriously? He has earned the reputation of lying about the data he puts forth. So why should we give him any more legitimacy than say... a flat-earther? He certainly hasn't earned any legitimacy. So we should treat his "findings" with as much ridicule and scorn as we would a flat Earther. If you have any decent data you want to share or reputable site links you want to share and discuss- then awesome, I would love to hear some good news and that this whole doomsday scenario is in fact a miscalculation. I need facts though, not tinfoil hat theories, cherry-picked data points and half baked pseudo science.

I honestly don't think Biden is the best person to defeat trump.

It's not so weird when you recognize that Mueller is a law and order <insert Sam Waterson joke> person who upholds the law and constitution. But yeah, I get what you are saying...

Yeah, I agree. That seems the way it will go. Never liked Barr as choice for AG- exactly for these reasons... I feel vindicated.

Oh wow- here we go:

Well, she is not wrong.

I think deflection also applies here. I think there are ... 3 GOP led investigations into the oranges of the investigation of trump. what is going to be interesting is that those investigations will more than likely find NOTHING damning (nitpicky things, sure) but nothing truly damning and the GOP will all be THIS IS PROOF BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT!!! blah blah blah.... yet nothing from the Mueller report- it is going to be ******* maddening... yet totally expected. Its going to be a weaponized version of the nunes report...

Clips from a CNN (which I believe Lemon works at) townhall is a completely different animal than a trump political rally. That difference matters. A lot.

That is a great policy! But... there's gotta be some sort of catch, no? oh yeah, take money from poor students...

This is an awesome animation dipicting how massive the largest black hole is.. https://www.businessinsider.com/black-hole-how-big-largest-universe-2019-5?jwsource=cl

She states that she gets a calm feeling when she thinks about how she loves "the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that [safe haven], in many ways.” for Jews after the Holocaust. "There’s, you know, there’s a kind of a calming feeling, I always tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence, in many ways, had been wiped out," Tlaib said on Yahoo News’s “Skullduggery” podcast. "I mean, just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time," she continued, before noting that she loves "the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that [safe haven], in many ways.”

Is this the same dude who claimed that "Hundreds of papers published in 2017 prove that global warming is a myth." ? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/400-papers-published-in-2017-prove-that-global-warming-is-myth/ Questionable science from NTZ, but Snopes' description of the site is spot on though: " regurgitated material from a blog called the “No Tricks Zone” (NTZ), which highlights out-of-context sentences from (in most cases) legitimate scientific studies that the author of the blog incorrectly thinks dispute the tenets of anthropogenic global warming. The 400 studies in this latest piece cover topics wholly irrelevant to the question of anthropogenic global warming, including, for example, a study on the effect of wind turbines upon the viability of migratory bat populations." And also, I think there is shady stuff going on with the data: "numerous scientists listed in the report pointed out their their graphs had been digitally altered by NTZ to omit data, and that NTZ had either misinterpreted their papers or read them so superficially that the author of the post did not realize he was sometimes quoting from general background material and not the actual findings of the papers themselves." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/400-papers-published-in-2017-prove-that-global-warming-is-myth/ The list of dodgey practices and misrepresentation on that site is LENGTHY. So why should anyone take the site at face value and not just outright reject the falsehoods and lies from that site? Is that not the most sane thing to do when dealing with a serial liar that profits from those lies?

SOrry... you quoted the evidence vs proof post of mine- I am not sure what this has to do with hamas.... or how facebook enforces their ToS. Maybe take up my suggestion for a free/hate speech thread- seems like an appropriate place for the above quoted post. Or feel free to shoot me a PM and we can discuss why facebook is not enforcing their ToS with hamas. If you want to continue with U.S. politics in this thread- I am all in!

edit

No it's not- it is evidence.

Hey- can you two take your twitter beef to PM, please. Or make a free speech thread to continue your discussion about free/hate speech? This is the U.S. politics thread, can we try and keep it on topic please?

case in point, the recent banning in facebook and instagram: 4 of the 6 banned were loudmouthed white males, one Black man and a white woman.

Wait, wiat, wait, a second... I thought "case closed"?
