It's not semantics. There's an enormous difference between trying to reduce the deficit and failing, and not trying to reduce the deficit. It's the latter, not the former. Voters who actually care about reducing the deficit should in no way support the Republican Party.
That's an edit box which can be resized independent of the font and characters in it. Combine that with a proportional font and there are a TON of combinations of letters that could fit in there. If the box was shrunk by 1 pixel that might actually remove 2 letters from what's in the box, depending on what those letters are and what the rest of the letters in there are.LawBeefaroni wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:37 pm A lot of names fit perfectly.

Contextually, wouldn't it be Candidate instead of President?
No, it's semantics. I made a joke about the hypocrisy of a political group that has made the deficit a driving message in their campaigns for years, constantly bitching about social programs being Satan sent because they effectively drive up that deficit in their opinion. Someone responded that they were frustrated with my joke because the GOP hasn't actually succeeded in making that message come true, or exhibited any real effort to do so when they were in power.El Guapo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:59 pmIt's not semantics.

Right. I mean, they shouldn't support them for that reason.coopasonic wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 4:13 pmUnless they also want to prohibit safe abortions or keep others out of the country among other things.

Haven't driven it into the ground, because it most definitely *isn't* semantics.

Whether or not they succeeded or were sincere, the fact remains that I can find numerous GOP campaign platforms based almost entirely around the message of a dangerously accelerating deficit. That's what I was joking about.
So yeah...semantics.
And now that we've driven this whole thing so far into the ground that Chinese citizens are going, "WTF are you doing here??", let's take a moment to reflect on the death of a throwaway joke.
It's what happens when you can enrich yourself by spending someone else's money. You are never a good steward of that money, especially when you get richer the more irreaponsibly you spend. Dems figured it out too. They just have a modicum of shame.Pyperkub wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 1:01 pmHaven't driven it into the ground, because it most definitely *isn't* semantics.

Since Reagan, the GOP has refused to pay for *any* of their initiatives (tho I'll give GWH Bush some credit for trying). Democrats actually attempt to pay for their initiatives/legislation (see medical device tax and others in ACA, etc.). the GOP sticks with voodoo economics and shirks responsibility, leaving huge messes for Democrats to clean up.
What the GOP does is Lie about caring about the deficit when a Democrat is in office, so they can use it as a cudgel, but they have been fiscally irresponsible for almost 4 decades now, and what it has done is make each successive downturn/recession even worse, while ringing up everything on the Credit Card.
When they are forced to have a balanced budget at the State level, they completely trash the state economy with their policies (see Kansas under Brownback).
Reporting by The Trace shows that the NRA and the Trump campaign employed the same operation — at times, the exact same people — to craft and execute their advertising strategies for the 2016 presidential election. The investigation, which involved a review of more than 1,000 pages of Federal Communications Commission and Federal Election Commission documents, found multiple instances in which National Media, through its affiliates Red Eagle and AMAG, executed ad buys for Trump and the NRA that seemed coordinated to enhance each other.
Individuals working for National Media or its affiliated companies either signed or were named in FCC documents, demonstrating that they had knowledge of both the NRA and the Trump campaign’s advertising plans.
Experts say the arrangement appears to violate campaign finance laws.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a situation where illegal coordination seems more obvious,” said Ann Ravel, a former chair of the Federal Election Commission who reviewed the records. “It is so blatant that it doesn’t even seem sloppy. Everyone involved probably just thinks there aren’t going to be any consequences.”

Watching the "Leader of the Free World" do it is horrifying. What an over-used term for the last two years, right? Horrifying. We need more words to describe horrible things now, I guess.

No kidding, I wake up every morning hoping to hear that something huge has broken overnight, like "TRUMP ARRESTED, PENCE FLEES TO MEXIO" or "MUELLER + TEAM OF AGENTS LEAD TRUMP OUT IN CUFFS" I know that's too much to ask, but goddamn would that make me sooooo happy. "MOSCOW TURNS OVER BOXES OF DOCUMENTS TO MUELLER" "ASSANGE EXCHANGES INFO FOR US ASYLUM" "PENCE OPENS UP ABOUT TRUMP WITH MUELLER" "DON JR ARRESTED" Any of those will do.
I do feel like something big is about to break ANY day now, though it most assuredly won't be as "big" as what I want.
It's like someone tried explaining alliteration to him, but he just couldn't understand all of the explanation.Carpet_pissr wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 12:48 pm TWO derogatory adjectives in front of a person's name?!

He's absolutely correct that this shouldn't happen to a future POTUS, but not in the way he thinks.We will be doing a major Counter Report to the Mueller Report. This should never again be allowed to happen to a future President of the United States!
How do you prep and draft a counter-report for something you shouldn't be aware of? Is it just 45 pages of "Mueller is a poopie-butt. He smells like old man farts. I'm the best." ... ?El Guapo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 2:59 pm A history of the 'progress' in preparing a Mueller Counter-Report.
