    Who gives a shit? A cat was hit by a car yesterday, media reports it as Trumps fault. It's not for the normal person to see, it's for the LWSJWFS that think violence is a good idea. Once they realize they are outgunned they will stop with the assaults (at least I would hope they have enough brain cells to figure that out....or do I?).

    No, then they will protest gun violence, and say how a peaceful protester was shot.

    And (hopefully) anyone with an IQ above a rock will know that it wasn't a "peaceful" protester, and the next fuck stick will think twice.

    They are running an ad here where they go after Representative Comstock for voting with Trump 97.8% of the time. I guess I really wasn't paying attention when they opened up the President's powers to include voting in the House of Representatives.:rolleyes:

    How do they even calculate a percentage like that? When the House votes down a bill or amendment how do they if Trump would have signed it or not?

    Of course Comstock's ad is fairly off the wall too. She criticizes Wexton for plea bargaining down a sex offender case. Without knowing the specifics of the case maybe that was the best course of action since if they went to trial maybe they only had enough evidence to get a 30% chance of conviction on the serious charges, so a plea bargain for one of the lessor charges was the way to go.

    The bottom line is most of these ads don't expect you to think, they are just trying for an emotional response. One thing for sure is that we still have over two weeks of this crap and the ads will only get more frequent and more annoying.

    I REALLY hate to take up for that corrupt old hag but there are contexts under which the statement is fine. The problem with the article is I could not detect the context well. So there is a chance she was saying her changes will not benefit everyone just most but yes some might be hurt. There is also a chance that she was inciting violence like many from her party are doing. Poor article.

    I did not read the whole speech but basically agree with you. I have no clue what collateral damage she speaks and the article did not either.

    That isn’t data it is a predicted Trump score. In other words someone’s best guess. Also it still isn’t “Voting with Trump” because Trump doesn’t have a vote.

    How is it not data? Every bill that goes before congress is pretty easily established as being supported by the president or not supported by the president. His support/non-support is defined by either a direct statement from him or from one of his Executive team. You may not like or agree with the assignment of the president's position, but you asked how the numbers were derived. Did you read the methods? As far as parsing the words, "Voting with Trump", it means voting for his supported positions. No one is inferring he casts a vote.

    This is not new to Trump. Its a basic model of fidelity for congressmen with executive.

    Very interesting data. There are a few anomalies as the budget vote where Trump was against the wall if he sent it back to congress.

    Was there the same data for Obama?

    Oh, the Wexton ad has been very effective. I wouldn't vote for her if the choices were her, Stalin and Hillary and they were in a run off for Roadkill picker upper and I HAD to vote for one.
    Her ad runs two or sometimes three times in the same commercial block on tv and every video I try and watch on yougores is her ad.

    I get some bleed over from the Maryland governor race. I almost wish I lived there so I could hit the streets to campaign against Jealous. Holy f@ck, that guy seems like a steaming pile of whale shit.
