Nevertheless She Persisted, WTF?!

[Speaker to Animals]

Yeah, but it's more than that. They can't 'speak disparagingly' of another senator. That's impossible to debate their worthiness for a post then.

In this case, the woman literally slandered another member of the Senate.

The left thinks beating women in the face with a flag pole is a "protest", and slandering people with obvious lies and horseshit is "speaking your mind", and you still can't figure out why the democratic party is collapsing.

Good to know that you're so informed on senate rules. She was reading an open letter concerning Sessions, from years ago. That's not quite the same thing as calling him a dickbag.

Senators aren't allowed to slander other senators? That's weak, what a lame rule. I'm sure there is some context I'm missing, but being censored for talking shit to another senator isn't MAGA

I thought senators could talk for as long as they liked until a vote of cloture, is that what happened?

Nah, there's rules. Senators are supposed to be the top tier. That's why they weren't popularly elected at first. They were supposed to be the example to follow, not like those Representatives who pander to the masses, and act like them. Rather than changing the rules so they can act like children, we should go the other way and abolish the 17th.

Sure, yeah I suppose we should expect a certain amount of decorum from the higher house of Congress, I can appreciate that. I still think it's lame though, I want blood, censorship is for snowflakes. Maybe we need a lesser amount of decorum from the House, that would be fine with me. Those videos of parliament yelling at each other are where it's at. Exciting shit, my kind of TV!

That's as useful as a court jester. It makes the people feel better. Catharsis delays reform.

The bottom line is there are 10 positions open in 2 years in states that Trump won. If those all go Rep. the Democrats are screwed. They know it, so they are getting super aggressive, jumping on everything they can with Trump.

You didn't watch the video, or you're lying.

Everyone gets three guesses.

[Speaker to Animals]

It's over. They lost Americans with the terrorism and violence alone. The fake news isn't helping them. The childlike antics of their political leaders isn't helping. Trying to bring in more and more crazy people from the Middle East isn't helping them.

It's certainly possible that Trump will do something monumentally stupid, but I wouldn't bet money on it. He is playing them for fools right now. Even with this legal challenge to his immigration executive order, it's going to blow up in the democratic party's face as soon as one of these so-called refugees commits a terror attack. It's only a matter of time. Terrorism is the product of democratic party policy and actions. This is why they lost.

They aren't strategic thinkers for the most part. You'd think any dummy could look two moves ahead with this temporary ban on immigrants from Syria, but apparently that's not a safe assumption.

You could learn something here, Grumpster. Calling someone an idiot, an asshat, or a douchebag is not good debate strategy. You may as well talk shit about someone's mamma. Ad hominem attacks are all well and good amongst the rhetorically challenged, but you've got to deliver the goods on the senate floor--sexist, racist, xenophobe, and any such tired allegations which cannot be substantiated just ain't good enough among the adults. They made the rules for a reason.

Indeed.

I used to bring 'the goods' as you put it, but it's pretty exhausting to be ignored for page after page, and read dozens of ad hominem attacks in return. I think I've settled on a decent balance between shitposting, and classical debate - sort of a laconic style, testing the waters for the level of discussion, and responding in kind. I'm pretty surprised that you'd choose me to call out on this actually - I suspect you don't read too many of these threads anymore...
