Trump meeting rocket man

[Kirkland Laing]

Ooooooh a special election in a district that Trump won by 20 points is won by a Democrat. There are roughly 120 seats less competitive than this one in November and the Democrats need to only win 24 to take control of the House. If they win the House they get subpoena power and can spend the next two years dissecting Trunp nightly on TV. His tax returns will be the first thing to get subpoenaed. It'll be genuinely difficult to keep up with all the different investigations.

That's if Mueller hasn't nailed him by then anyway.

And with this stunning turnaround in a safe Republican seat that the Democrats haven't even contested in over a decade and were outspent massively we go live to Democratic party headquarters:

Drawing on his background as a Marine and former federal prosecutor, Lamb disowned Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and staked out positions on abortion, guns and fracking that hewed closer to the GOP.

But Lamb also embraced the classics of the Democratic playbook, hammering Saccone for allegedly wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare, and uniting Pittsburgh's powerful unions behind him in a way no Democrat had before in that district.

While the district will soon no longer exist, thanks to a recent ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and one House seat is not worth much in 2018 Washington, the race was nonetheless freighted with real consequences for both parties as they gear up for a crucial midterm election.



Huge win Kirkland, HUGE

Yes Lyle, it'll no longer exist because the USSC refused to allow the GOP to keep gerrymandering the entire state and a lower court has now drawn up entirely new state districts that mean the GOP no longer have a massive inbuilt advantage.

In 2012 Democratic candidates won more votes statewide in PA House elections and Obama won the state. But Republicans won 13 seats and Democrats just won five. So in November Lamb will be running in a new district much more favourable to him and the Democrats will likely pick up a bunch of House seats elsewhere in PA.

And it is a huge win Lyle. Even Trump turning up for a rally and imposing tariffs didn't stop the GOP losing. It portends the Democrats winning back the House, which means subpoena power, which means endless investigations. Alexa, order all the popcorn.

As I was saying yesterday Trump is on a competent person sacking spree. Cohn and Tillerson gone in the last week and now McMaster is next for the chop apparently. Trump's new Chief Economic Advisor is apparently going to be Larry Kudlow. If you google Larry Kudlow always wrong or Larry Kudlow stupidest man alive you'll get a good idea about Kudlow in particular and the triumph of ideology over reality in the GOP in general. It really does look like Trump is firing all the qualified/competent people in his administration and replacing them with an elite team of blithering idiots.

Democrats do it = Redistricting
Republicans do it = Gerrymandering

If Republicans had such a massive advantage in Pennsylvania then why had no Republican Presidential candidate won Pennsylvania since Reagan? If it was SUCH a massive advantage explain all the Democrat Governors. Please do.

"In 2012 Democratic candidates won more votes statewide in PA House elections and Obama won the state. But Republicans won 13 seats and Democrats just won five."
...could be that the Democrat areas were HEAVILY Democrat (like say PHILADELPHIA) and other areas highly contested, but I'm CERTAIN it is just as evil as you describe it because the Democrats are incapable of such evil and surely ONLY Republicans gerrymander.

The Democrat candidate in question ran a Republican campaign: pro-2nd Amendment, anti-Pelosi, reaching across the isle to work with opposition party, not taking PAC money...it's almost like Hillary Clinton ran his campaign herself

Order all that popcorn and blow it out your ass.....VOX?!?!?! You're the very worst kind of partisan the kind who projects that they are middle of the road.

"It really does look like Trump is firing all the qualified/competent people in his administration and replacing them with an elite team of blithering idiots"
Par for the course according to you, I didn't think that you could think any less of who Trump already had in there, but here we are.

Why no, carrying a tiny doll of Obama in your purse is not at all weird. Why do you ask?
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...why-do-you-ask

“It’s easy to look at what’s happening in Washington DC and despair. That’s why I carry a little plastic Obama doll in my purse. I pull him out every now and then to remind myself that the United States had a progressive, African American president until very recently. Some people find this strange, but you have to take comfort where you can find it in Donald Trump’s America.”

You carry your lil Obama dolly around Kirk?

This post is like Lyle bingo. After having made a completely ignorant statement that is disproved by facts double down on the stupid with a ridiculous argument that just made a ten year old girl laugh out loud when I got her to read it (she said "he's trolling you", I said no he really is that dumb ), dismiss a factual article full of linked checkable facts as rubbish because you don't like the source, BLOCK CAPS. I call stupid house. Ffs Lyle.

You made my brother's daughter laugh though. God bless you.

Here's some more GOP gerrymandering from your home state.

If you wish to read and believe Ezra Klein or Matthew Yglesias or David Corn, that's fine go right ahead and just take everything they write as the gospel truth. I'm not stopping you, but I'm not taking them as "middle of the road" "non partisan" objective journalists because they aren't and that is an absolute undeniable fact. The head of Vox, Ezra Klein started the JournoList...ever hear of the JournoList? I mean you wouldn't care anyway because you're sympathetic to their views.

NC =/= PA not sure if you understand redistricting or geography but those are actual things which you might want to actually learn about.


Cute you have a "woke" niece....that's lovely....I let my dog read your post and he called you a faggot so there ya go

The gerrymandering the article is covering has been widely reported in every outlet and newspaper you can mention. You would already know about it if you read a fucking newspaper. From the Commies at the WSJ:

Pennsylvania GOP Lawmakers Submit New Map in Gerrymandering Case

State’s Supreme Court had overturned current congressional districts as unfair to Democrats


Voters in Pennsylvania, a perennial battleground state, often split closely between Democrats and Republicans in statewide elections. The state’s congressional delegation, however, tilts 13-to-5 in favor of Republicans under the district lines the GOP drew in 2011.
Political analysts say Democrats could pick up three to four additional seats under new district boundaries. The party needs to gain a net 24 seats nationwide in November to retake the U.S. House, which has been under Republican control since 2011.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/pennsyl...ase-1518202728


Here's Fox News :



North Carolina congressional map illegally gerrymandered, judges rule


Federal judges ruled Tuesday that North Carolina's congressional district map drawn by legislative Republicans is illegally gerrymandered because of excessive partisanship that gave GOP a rock-solid advantage for most seats and must quickly be redone.
The ruling marks the second time this decade that the GOP's congressional boundaries in North Carolina have been thrown out by a three-judge panel. In 2016, another panel tossed out two majority black congressional districts initially drawn in 2011, saying there was no justification for using race as the predominant factor in forming them. The redrawn map was the basis for a new round of lawsuits.

I picked Vox as it's a nice easy explainer with lots of links. And just bear in mind for a minute the ridiculousness of somebody who gets their news from Alex Jones, Fox News and nutcases on the radio complaining about nonexistent bias in a factual article. And then telling me I "might want to actually read" about something to learn about it. You do a nice line in unintentional comedy Lyle.

@Kirkland Laing why are you so fixated on the US when your country does the same shit. Is it just for arguments sake. How do u feel about the erosion of personal liberty in the UK

[Gandalf]

Make Kirkland a US citizen. Let him run for President as the first Geordie President. Pushing forward new language forms one President at a time. 'All yous Southerners is racists, you know'.

What does any of this have to do with Rocket Men anyway? I come on here wanting my Rocket Man fix and you are all waffling about 'Racism'.
