Dear God, the British Center Left is composed entirely of weak kneed cowards:

What grown man or woman bursts into tears in that situation??? You can see how the hard left took over the party when these losers are the moderates.

This is semantics, and nothing more
I can't believe the GOP honestly decided that "yep, fuck it, let's defund PP right after a right-wing terror attack on PP."

Why would that make any difference? Should the shooting have lessened their opposition to abortion or government funding for an abortion provider?

This is why people assumed he wanted nothing to do with the speakership, no?

yeah but i dont think the speakership is hurting his chances. he's been... weirdly competent, by Republican standards. i think he wanted to sit out 2016 when it became obvious it was a loser in a position where he can pick up prestige
 
I can't believe the GOP honestly decided that "yep, fuck it, let's defund PP right after a right-wing terror attack on PP."

Why does it matter, and how are the two connected; you can oppose PP and defund it regardless of the shooting.

They're going to lose and they know it; it's little more than a half measure for their base.
 
They can go into the next election saying: "Look, we defunded PP and repealed Obamacare, but the Marxist Kenyan vetoed it! Put a real Republican American in the White House and we can get this done!"

I think that dream ended when he took the speaker position. If his speakership ends up being Boehner 2.0 like Republicans are thinking, he won't get anywhere near the nomination.

In general the House isn't a path to the White House in general, and never has been.

Because it's obviously connecting them to other assholes that just tried to do harm to PP? It's politically terrible. The decision itself is nonsensical considering it's based on the idea that "PP BROK TEH LAW" when 15 Republican governors found that, no, PP had no wrong doing whatsoever, but I'm just talking about the GOP being political dumbfucks instead of their dishonesty right now.

In other news about the GOP just having stupid people that don't know politics or framing:

Addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition today, Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson told a story about how the Star of David came to be on the U.S. dollar bill.

Only one problem: There’s no Star of David on the dollar bill.

Carson was telling the story of wealthy Jewish merchant Haym Salomon, who is said to have been a major financier of George Washington’s troops during the Revolutionary War.

"Salomon gave all his funds to save the U.S. Army and, some say, no one knows for sure, that’s the reason there’s a Star of David on the back of the one dollar bill," Carson said in Washington, D.C.

There is a conspiracy theory that a design of stars arranged above the eagle on the U.S. seal printed on the bill forms a Jewish star and that this was done as a way to thank Salomon for his generosity.

But the Numismatic Bibliomania Society’s Wayne Homren says there’s no evidence to suggest any truth to support the theory that the stars were intentionally arranged to represent the Jewish star, let alone that it was done in Salomon’s name.

“If you squint, you can say there’s some resemblance but that certainly was not the intention of the designers, that we’re aware,” Homren told ABC News.

He is the dumbest man to ever run for the Presidency, right?
 
Is he dumb, or is he simply an older white operating as he has for decades. He know doubt makes Polish/Irish/etc jokes as well. He doesn't give a fuck and is betting his demographic doesn't care. Clearly he's right.
 
Note that Carson read from his notes for 30 minutes without looking at the audience at this speech:

The retired neurosurgeon read his 30-minute speech from notes, looking down at his lectern and not at the audience. He repeatedly botched the pronunciation of Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, making it sound instead like the chickpea dish hummus — all while impugning President Barack Obama’s understanding of the Middle East.

Everything in that disastrous speech was planned, think about that for a moment.

Your trolling is so bad that you're unaware that we're talking about Carson, not Trump.

Anyone who is paying any sort of attention in the US is probably already quite aware of the amount of gun violence and mass shootings happening. Why is one more (which is sad to say) going to make a difference in listening to Trump more?

"Because this time it was Muslins!"
Nope, it was climate change.

Any objections to me making it? I can get a slightly more elaborate than usual OP ready and want to confirm dibs before I start working.

has calmed down a bit.
He has to be, I can't see how anyone could be dumber than this.

He is not dumb, this is what happens when you focus on one thing your entire life and get really good at it (some say better than anyone else in his field), whatever the opposite of a Renaissance man is.

I mean, he has to be actively sabotaging it at this point. Nothing else makes sense.

I just hope people finally seeing what a nut job Carson is taints him indefinitely. If it goes well even Fox won't want anything to do with him.
