Have to admit that I feel that for far too long we have been treating these countries in the middle east as civilized 1st world countries, when their actions scream anything but.

while I generally agree, we should not close our eyes to the egregious double standard of using these arguments against Iran while tightening the bonds with Saudi-Arabia, which is just as bad as Iran and contributing just as much to the destablization of the middle east and to the funding of islamistic terrorism all around the world.

the standards the Trump administration applies to Iran are justified, as is their decision to no longer give a flying fuck for those UN bodies which have indeed become politicized and ineffective. but this justified muscular stance is counteracted by the soft line approach towards the Saudis. the bottom line is that the Trump administration does not really believe in those standards, they are just an excuse to punish other nations subject to Trump's whim.

Unemployment rate falls to 49-year low

Absent something serious with Russiagate... get ready for 8 years of Trump.

Maybe turning the court conservative for a generation is worth the 8 years of incompetent leadership.

absent death or arrest or stepping down

Dems have no big stage candidates worth a damn

they are forming a trump like following around a trump like character in avenatti

they had a blue wave coming that they are weakening daily with a bullshit smear rampage on a supreme court nominee

they are getting confused and caving in all the wrong ways to the far left

being slowly taken over by the worst of the party

it's ogre

maybe the country really needs a Hickenlooper/Kasich 'extreme centrists' ticket after trump. something like that might be the last hope at stopping the partisan bullshit from both sides that is polarizing the country more and more each day.

I'm fine with kasich

fine with Johnson

really fine with anyone center left or center right would probably be alright with Paul although that dude seems to be all over the place sometimes

democrats had 3 years to get their shit together to take down trump and wasted 2 of them doubling down on incompetent uninspiring bullshit

they had 2 to just let trump lead them to a midterm slaughter and they couldn't even pull that off

How the fuck does a party benefiting from being out of power along with extreme hatred of the president manage to fuck up that layup by metooing a supreme court judge without any evidence?

I dislike Graham a lot but during his moment at the hearing he was right they do want power and until they can show being competent having it they don't deserve it

How a party can look more confused, incoherent, unorganized and incompetent than Trump and his rag tag group of mutants is beyond me
