The Founders didn't intend for the abuse of the cloture or the fillibustering that occurs with every bill today. Essentially nothing gets passed without 2/3 of the Senate. That was never the intention. Both sides have taken advantage of arcane procedural rules.RoleModelsinBlood31 said:0 -

Possibly but I think it's because dems don't vote unless it's a presidential vote. That will change though, I thinkGern Blansten said:

Hilarious that Drumpf is now backing away from his Muslim ban. It's official....he's a politician
But in a separate interview that day, Trump suggested he wasn't actually proposing a hard ban on immigration from "terrorist countries," but only that people from such states - which he would not specify - should be strongly screened.

She's not a sociopath, she's just your average politician running to be POTUS. Sociopaths are defined largely by an extreme level of antisocial behaviour, and that doesn't define Clinton at all.Jason P said:Hilary will say whatever is needed to win the game of thrones. She is a sociopath.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/06/28/trump-s-new-spox-deletes-anti-donald-tweets.html?source=TDB&via=FB_Page
On Monday evening it was announced that former Ted Cruz senior communications adviser Jason Miller had taken a job as Donald Trump’s new top spokesman. It didn’t take long for media outlets to notice that Miller had purged his extensive history of anti-Trump tweets, including recent ones referring to the candidate as “#SleazyDonald.” According to cached versions of his tweets, Miller repeatedly used the hashtag as a punchline to negative stories about his former boss’s top GOP primary rival. In other now-deleted tweets, Miller mocked Trump as “the Carl Lewis of flip-flopping,” dismissed the idea that his new boss is any more reasonable “behind closed doors,” and teased the real-estate mogul for the various controversies surrounding Trump University.

No, many of them ditch their consciences (or at best ignore them) because their desire for power and control and money supersedes it, but that doesn't even come close to defining sociopathy. Most politicians HAVE consciences. They just put them on the back burner.RoleModelsinBlood31 said:

I'm making a point of it because I don't think it's helpful to go around accusing politicians of being sociopaths or psychopaths or any other kinds of "-paths" when it doesn't actually apply, or using those terms like catchphrases. All that is is exaggeration (usually... once in a while it does apply!), and it leads to even more division than there already is.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Agreed 100%. Words lose their meaning when they are used in the hyperbolic sense. This why I would get so amped up when people said the Democratic primaries had 'voter suppression' or they are 'rigged'. Watch an election in Iraq, Iran, or Ukraine... that's rigged. Look at the old South before the Civil Rights Act... that's voter suppression. You also won't see me use words like Nazi when it comes to Trump. That word is too strong and needs to be reserved for when it really is happening, which hopefully is never.PJ_Soul said:I'm making a point of it because I don't think it's helpful to go around accusing politicians of being sociopaths or psychopaths or any other kinds of "-paths" when it doesn't actually apply, or using those terms like catchphrases.

Is it just me? When Trump reads teleprompters it reminds me of a 3rd grader reading a book report in front of the class for the first time....

It's not a fascination. Donald Trump winning will have immediate effects on other countries.gimmesometruth27 said:
nowhere does it list how he is the worlds greatest douchebag. yuge douchebag. like the best douchebag.
your fascination with a man you can't vote for is bordering on the disturbing.

"If they do not agree to a renegotiation, then I will submit notice under Article 2205 of the NAFTA agreement that America intends to withdraw from the deal
Trump has a very real chance at winning and unlike many Americans there are a lot of (and possibly more) Canadians who pay attention to American elections. Hillary is not a candidate to worry about she is boring and may win only because her opponent is Trump.
His own party can't stop him.
So to say it is bordering disturbing I say it is being involved in global affairs.
