Watsa matter, Derec? Did a Mexican steal yer jerb?

Perhaps he'd feel better at stormfront?
And get Pence? Are you sure you and Savage thought that one through?ITMFA
Personal comments like that are surest sign you have no arguments

That is to be expected statistically. Even if mean of P1 > mean of P2, some individuals from P2 will have higher value than some individuals from P1. The bigger the variances in the two groups, the more often that happens. Achievement between different individuals in a population has a relatively high variance.There are numerous stories on how the children of immigrants frequently outperform natives.
Do you consider the CATO institute to be liberal? Here's a great story:
Again, why the need to put down dreamers as illegals? Why does your side have to be so offensive?
All true. Also a good description of Trump. Credit where it's due.I really go back and forth re: Pence. On one hand, he is surely more mentally competent than Trump which could make him more effective at bad stuff--and it would be really bad. He believes the ideology he espouses while I am convinced that Trump thinks of nothing beyond himself.
A "creeper" perhaps, but don't you think all this #metoo nonsense is playing right into this "can't be alone with a woman other than his wife" thing? Isn't that the neo-Victorian direction we are moving toward, sadly?And then, Pence is a serious creeper, IMO. That bothers me quite a bit more than his political bent, which is diametrically opposed to my own.
On the hand, he is unlikely to be able to marshal a cult of personality which is what Trump has done. I think that if Trump left office, for any reason at all, and we inherited Pence, we'd only have him for the balance of Trump's term.
Are you thinking about impeaching both simultaneously (President Pelosi ) or just hoping to get a veto power over any VP nomination President Pence might field?Come on, mid-terms!

Aaww, Trausti left this neg rep comment for the post above. "No wonder this place is going down the shitter."

Probably true for Trump as well, unless Dems completely botch the nomination process again. But in that case Pence could squeeze through as well.

For the most part, I think no one gives much thought to Pence at all. Which is his greatest strength/secret super power. My own personal opinion is that young women have absolutely nothing to fear if left alone with Pence. Young men might be entirely different.
The Me Too movement can be more directly to the self described pussy grabber in chief. Under Obama, I think we all allowed ourselves to believe that things were getting better,in a global sense, if not personally. If nothing else, Trump’s presidency has highlighted—glaringly—just how much progress there is to be made on so many fronts.
And yeah: #Me Too.

Obama bombed seven countries in six years namely Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and Syria. How is that getting better,in a global sense. Maybe Trump can outdo him.

Democrats are just as aggressive against Islamic terrorists as republicans. But there are some differences. Dems tend to prefer empowering locals to do the actual governance. Secondly, dems tend to seek much larger coalitions. Obama attacking Libya was one of his worst decisions. But the difference is that most of the world agreed with the decision. It was really a wide group that attacked Gadify. So we went in, then got out fast. Trump would have invaded with a 100,000 troops, and we'd still be there.
Well, as El Cheato has already bombed all of the above countries, I don't think it will be hard for him to out do Bush-Obama. Beside, the FFvC Administration has already laid the groundwork for a whole new ball park of strikes in Africa (never mind the recent firefight which left 4 US soldiers and 4 Nigerian soldiers dead in another ghost war). Yeah, I'd say by next summer, it will be at least eight countries bombed...All true. Also a good description of Trump. Credit where it's due.

The government of Niger has given the Defense Department permission to fly armed drones out of the Nigerien capital, Niamey, Pentagon officials said Thursday, in a major expansion of the American military’s footprint in Africa.
Pentagon officials want to start the flights within days.
Targeted killing was an issue under the last administration. And now, President Donald Trump might have made it worse.
Reports from Vice and others claim he transferred the power over his predecessor's drone program entirely to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)...
<snip>
By allowing targeted drone strikes to be carried out without the approval of the Pentagon, Trump has essentially shielded these killings from public scrutiny.
According to Dan Gettinger, co-director at the Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College, this move gives the CIA “greater freedom to carry out strikes on its own.” And because the CIA operates covertly, or in the shadows, the Wall Street Journal suggests that giving the agency more blanket powers will lead to less accountability.

Additionally, El Cheato is quite clearly trying to hide the activities even further of US military machinations...

If people are so off the deep end in their notions of conspiracy theories that even the concept of a shadowy government agency covertly murdering people without oversight or accountability raises red flags for them, then they're kind of already beyond the point that they can even be talked to.
Or how about this flyer by the fascist Antifas:
