Trump would never pick a liberal judge. Judges will long outlive the administration. Reagan picked Scalia. 30 fucking years of Scalia...8 years of Reagan. Scalia was WAY more influential than Reagan over the last 30 years...
He was the president under whom the comittee on unamerican activities held their rein of terror, black lists, red baiting, shit like that. He rose above all that but it was his administration that prosecuted those people. So, no, Eisenhower was a shit eating Republican. A good general but a bad president. Almost acceptable is what I'd call him.
I'm not sure how you think he could have reined in Joseph McCarthy.
Kinda makes you wonder if it's an act, doesn't it?
Agree that its complicated. Still can't give the leader of the party that did all that a free pass.
Well obviously THEY (the right) doesn't think she's conservative...or as conservative as THEY are. Hey...I never said she was FDR. Just better than Trump. And she will appoint more liberal judges...whose influence will continue after Hillary is long gone.
I can. Listen to his farewell speech again. Listen carefully; he told us what was going to happen 60 long years ago.
Its about power. The Democratic party hacks will benefit if Hillary gets in, Republican hacks won't. Those guys are fighting to get their heads into the feedbag. Repukes are angry that they are going to miss out on all the goodies. Its serious for them but not for the reasons that we'd like it to be.
He gave that speech when he no longer held power. A chickenshit move.
she is better than Trump. That is the one difference that makes me withold my decision on what to do come November. But the difference is only one of extremes, she is still not going to go after dismantling the Citizens United ruling, which to my mind is the largest threat to democracy we've encountered since Nixon.
Dude, he was in charge of the executive branch of government. The FBI, the attorney general and federal marshals were part of the attack on the left using red baiting as an excuse. His policies enabled those acts.
That's exactly right. HE helped build it for 8 yrs. then didn't like his own Frankenstein...he gets no free pass...just more honest at the end when it didn't count for much.
I'm not sure I agree with this. How is she better than Chump?
You've mis-used the word Fascist when characterizing Hillary before, but she doesn't fit that profile. Trump on the other hand uses the Fascist script in his moves towards power and is pretty much best described as a Fascist. His acceptance and encouragement of beatings of protesters is a good example of a Fascist act.
DNC fatal flaw is there will be no delegate switch-o-chang-o-noint in the general..
What a load of horseshit JJ..if you cared about our young people, planet and legalization you would be standing behind Sanders.Best of luck then.....I'm old & have lived a good life I guess I knew it would end sometime. My regret is for the young.....
