Well, Trump did reverse himself on one thing - he now says he should have left up the anti-Hillary image with the six-pointed star.

i'm far from a trump supporter, but that doesn't seem really firm to me

all of his support is for the state, which gels with his belief it's a state issue, so unless he more explicitly says he supports the bill, thinks it's a good bill and other states should adopt similar laws, then i'm holding off on saying he flipped on that issue

The problem with it is that if you support states rights in this instance, you're supporting the right of individual states to limit the rights of individuals based on their gender identities. You can't back the state on this issue without being anti-trans rights.

OK this is at least the fourth, maybe more, reference to crabs/buckets I've seen in these forums today. What the gently caress happened; did everyone go to a crab boil on the 4th?

It's a reference to an old wives tale about a bunch of crabs in a bucket. When you start to boil them, they all try to clamber up and escape, but none of them make it because the ones below keep grabbing the ones halfway out and pulling them back in.

let me be super clear, i don't support it in anyway, nor do i support leaving it up to the state (i'm from NC and get embarrassed when it comes up no matter what because ugh), just saying it's not a flip on the issue if he didn't really change his position

it's a lovely position, especially from someone who claims to be great for the ELL GEE BEE TEE community, but to me he hasn't changed his position

His original position was that it seemed like a stupid thing for the state to get involved in. Now he's saying that it's a good thing that the state is getting involved.

He changed his position.

Okay, I got a question about one thing Comey said yesterday. He said that they have no proof that Hillary's server(s) was hacked, but did say that it's possible that the people who she communicated with, might have gotten hacked. Maybe I'm missing something basic here, but how would that be Hillary's fault?

It's not apt because there was no benefit to being a slave while there is a benefit to going to college, plus the whole actual enslavement with whips thing. Arguing that Group A should get a benefit at the real expense of debatably faultless Group B is how you wind up with a failed proposal in a democracy. It's not even crab bucket mentality before you jump on that tired bandwagon.


Lets find a middle ground and how about black people get to go to college for free. I mean, its not like we will live long enough to actually use the education in any meaningful way considering the modern day lynchings that are happening.

I don't know a thing about crabs, but with Crawfish they die on impact with the boiling water, letting out a death screech that is actually the air being forcibly boiled out of their bodies.

Bluedogs are dead because the President chose to ignore Rahm Emanual when it came time for executive leadership, instead choosing to side with his friends in the senate over the people of America. If Clinton were President, then blue dogs would be giving Democrats their majorities.

I just happen to think that a Clinton administration will be a great time to be a blue dog democrat, and am positioning myself accordingly.

You really shouldn't talk about yourself in the third person, it's weird.

Not for political reasons. Sorry but facts don;t agree with you tankie. So why do you think an accused rapist shouldn't stand trial?

What are you talking about? He didn't rape anyone. They had consensual sex. He pretended to use a condom, and she wanted to him to go get a std test. This aint roman Polanski we're talking about.

I would think the question of whether she caught anything would have been settled years ago. I think he is right to be paranoid cause this whole thing is coming off as a bunch of government agencies having an axe to grind.

If this is really about "rape" just loving give the assurances that the USA isn't seeking extradition and that Sweden wont extradite him.

Lying about using a condom is actually rape, fyi. The fact you think it isn't is kinda hosed up.
