    Politicians and Government Cringe Thread

    I think you're old enough to remember the jokes about how both parties agree on basically everything, right? On Iraq, on free trade, on being hard on crime, om foreign policy in general, even on gay marriage. It was basically the particulars, the tiny details, that they differed on.

    That is irrelevant. We can argue as we might about history, but that won't change it. No, the details were only because of smaller details. History was always immutable from the moment it began - wherever you set that point. The transportation spending bill of 2015, by my reckoning. Obama gave...

    No, they couldn't. The institutions already had a sympathy for the left, and the First Amendment protects free speech. And the people running these institutions were the elites of society, who could not be dislodged without the sort of violence that would bring about leftist rule anyway...

    Circular firing squads used to be a leftist thing. "RINOs" are basically the only reason everyone on this board isn't in a reeducation camp. If not for moderate Conservatives constantly building bridges and making compromises with liberals, we would be destroyed at every election by Marxists...

    Worth remembering that it's not the Democrat voters who are going to be taking the brunt of the immigration crisis. They'll only be hearing of it from the news media, which has been split between what would soon be called Neoliberals and Marxists since before the Russian Revolution was a thing.

    No, our choices are to win or die "gloriously". We plan to win. You intend to reenact Varro's charge at Canae. We are not the same.

    Then they'll have to be dealt with in 10. I really can't get rid of my inbuilt bias for the idea that somehow, Germany can deal with any problem.

    Hey, not my job to provide sources for the other guy's arguments. Neither is it my fault that Google is a liar. At any rate, that's just as expected. Muslims aren't a serious threat for now, and are unlikely to be one for at least 100 years. Until then, they'll just be a nuisance instead, a...

    Not really. They're just as vulnerable to economics as anyone else. Their tfr is around 2.9-3 in most major nations, and below replacement in Germany. And its only going to fall as newer generations become more westernised. And yeah, they're still westernised. The "death to America" chants are...

    Bah. Muslims aren't any more than 10% of the population in any West European country. They're going to be a problem, but not a catastrophic one. So stop being a bunch of hysterical old women.

    Nope, just projecting for the next 30-40 years. After that....well, who knows?

    The Democrats have started applying Affirmative Action for government positions now, and as always, media has done everything it can to make sure anyone who breathes anything less than the most effusive praise for their handpicked diversity hires will be seen as a Nazi. They're never going to...

    How far America has come. Supreme Court judges are arguing, without a hint of irony, that it's unreasonable for the government to be hampered by basic constitutional rights.

    Let nobody say that the Republicans are stuck in the past. I don't see the Democrats fielding robot Senators, do you?

    Did anyone see that Alabaman senator's bizarre response to Biden's SOTU? Didn't know the Republicans have started fielding robots these days.
