I saw this somewhere earlier. It baffles me not so much the obvious hypocrisy but the lack of awareness of being in "opposite world". Unless he is aware he has two sets of rules- then he's just an ass with no moral center. or something.

Conservatives are fuming that Rosie O’Donnell’s illegally large campaign donations would have landed a Republican with a similar problem in hot water. Of course, that’s not true. Here’s a long list of Republican donors who contributed too much and for nothing more than a refund, just as O’Donnell is likely to receive. m.huffpost.com/us/entry/3607672But of course, it’s always easier to whine about how persecuted you are than to undertake a 30 second Google search. I saw that on the Conservative thread. I honestly cannot believe they are worked up about that. She is a has been celebrity who is writing checks that, as you said, will likely be partially refunded. They are actually already upset because she won’t likely be charged with anything. The freaking president of the US paid off a porn star during his run for President and that is ok? FFS this is something Cohen apparently did all the time, but all they are concerned about is the liberal witch hunt and the fact that someone over wrote checks to Democratic candidates. It isn’t like Rosie O created a bunch of shell companies to get around the donation limits or had her lawyer send checks with money she funneled him. SMH. When I was little my mom hated Montgomery Wards store and always told us if she mentioned she was going to go there for any reason we were to “hit her over the head with a broom.” I think I am going to keep a broom handy for when I feel the need to read the Conservative thread. I love a good discussion, I love all the things I have learned from peas over the years, but that thread has devolved in such a way it just makes me stabby. Don't you know it's only a crime when a non-Conservative does things?

The Hill..
“JUST IN: Trump CIA pick offered to withdraw over concerns about her involvement in torture: report hill.cm/uTjGq4e”
Apparently the White House talked her out of it. Watch, the White House is going to say if the Democrats don’t support her because she is a woman then they are hypocrites.
When the real discussion should be, on both sides, are we ,as a country, going to condone torture. We know she didn’t have a problem with it, and as head of the CIA she could expand it. Are we willing to go down that path?
We should look at their qualifications and beliefs based on past actions, not if they are male or female.
Hillary had the qualifications and expertise to be president. Gina has the qualifications but apparently she believes in torture. That is what is important for both these individuals, not if they are male or female.

Just in case people didn't see it but the French foreign office has issued an official statement regarding Trump's NRA speech. It was one of the main headlines over here this weekend, especially him mimicking (and reinterpreting) the terrorists. "Boom! Come over here. Boom!" *gun hand gesture* Considered very, very poor taste (yes, that's a euphemism). "If one employee or just one patron had a gun, or if one person in this room had been there with a gun, aimed at the opposite direction, the terrorists would have fled or been shot. And it would have been a whole different story," Trump said during his NRA speech. Yeah, I doubt a citizen with a gun would've stood a fair chance (Where were all these armed heroes in Vegas anyway? Does this only work on Muslim terrorists, not white men shooting from hotel rooms?). Reminder of what the breach team's ballistic shield looked like after engaging the terrorists at the Bataclan: Anyhoo, I wouldn't be surprised if this is exactly Putin's plan: using Trump to alienate the USA on the international scene to seize back the power balance and break up the Western Allies. Sigh.

WT actual F? Why are these people still in power? How are the remaining honest Republicans defending this? Unfortunately there are few honorable republicans these days it seems. That said, the California Republicans are holding their convention this weekend, and they've already thrown this douchebag out. Had him forcibly removed. They aren't going to let him run as a Republican. Well done!! ("chain migration": an ugly and inaccurate name for the process by which his family got here, but now he doesn't like it anymore. Okay, except for his in-laws.) His parents but most recently his in-laws.. And many assorted friends, Cohen's wife and in-laws. If it weren’t destroying the entire country ( and maybe world ) I’d find it fascinating to watch. But instead it makes me ill. Becoming more so every day! “Benghazi was a 4 year investigation, there were zero indictments. The Clinton emails was a 2 year investigation, there were zero indictments. The Mueller investigation has been 14 months, there have been 23 indictments.” - @matthewjdowd But but but..................... you know the deal!! Mueller also has several guilty pleas!

The Hill...
“2017 had more active shooting incidents than any other year on record: FBI report hill.cm/h7jS9ud”
Something to ponder. It’s also interesting that it happened during trump’s first year as president.

The Hill...
“New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) is expected to sign a bill in the coming weeks that would ban discrimination in the state based on gender identity.
The New Hampshire Union Leader reported that the Republican-controlled state Senate passed the legislation last week. The bill would make it illegal to discriminate against transgender people in matters of housing, employment and public accommodations.
"These laws are necessary because of the pervasive discrimination that transgender people face at work, at home and in public. I'm not transgender, but 10, 20 years ago, I experienced these discriminations," said state Sen. Dan Innis (R), who is gay”
The sad thing is this even has to be done.

The New York Times Kyle Griffin.... “Ryan Zinke tore up Obama-era rules on oil, gas and mineral extraction and oversaw protected land reductions. But in his home state of Montana, Zinke halted the sale of oil and gas leases, opposed gold mining and worked to protect a national monument.” From the New York Times... “WHITEFISH, Mont. — When Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke was a state senator from this idyllic mountain town, he drove a Prius, sported a beard and pushed President Barack Obama to make clean energy a priority. Today, the beard and Prius are gone, and Mr. Zinke has emerged as a leading figure, along with Scott Pruitt of the Environmental Protection Agency, in the environmental rollbacks that have endeared President Trump to the fossil fuel industry and outraged conservationists. In the last year, Mr. Zinke has torn up Obama-era rules related to oil, gas and mineral extraction and overseen the largest reduction of federal land protection in the nation’s history, including an effort to slash the size of Bears Ears National Monument. But here in Montana, where support for drilling in certain beloved areas can be a career killer, Mr. Zinke has struck a different note. And as he faces allegations that he has violated travel and ethics rules, an examination of his Interior Department record shows that his pro-development bent has not always applied to his home state, where he is viewed as a fiercely ambitious candidate for future office. In the past year, Mr. Zinke has halted the sale of oil and gas leases near Yellowstone National Park, opposed gold mining in that area, and urged the president to protect one national monument, Montana’s Upper Missouri River Breaks, while creating another, the Badger-Two Medicine, just miles from his childhood home.” Just like Floria has been exempted from new off shore drilling. (Mar-a-Lago)

I don't know, but we could ask Obama AND Comey since they both did just that. You can save your outrage over bringing them up for a time when your side stops constantly doing it whenever it suits THEM. YOU can't have it both ways either.

I’ll agree that on the precious conservative thread they are doing their fair share of liberal bashing.
Rules/courtesy don’t seem to apply to some conservatives.
I was bullied right off that thread—while I was being polite and a conservative or two lied about me attacking them, which was not true. They made it crystal clear as to who wasn’t wanted.
Hypocrites on a regular basis.

Isn’t it precious that some conservatives can tell us what we (liberals) can or cannot do?

I just spent some time on the conservative catch all thread. It’s clear they don’t want us liberals to offer our views if it’s different from theirs.
But it seems, one at least, thinks there is some “cross thread insulting” on our end.
I went and read the 12 pages of this version and only found three posts that mentioned the conservative thread. I didn’t see any insults hurled at the conservative thread.
Going forward, please don’t mention the conservative thread on this thread and future catch all threads. If while peaking you see a topic there that isn’t here but would like talk about just bring it up but don’t mention where you got it from.
Personally I don’t think there has been any “cross thread insulting” originating from the trump catch all threads but let’s just don’t mention them going forward to be sure.

I went back and read the posts and in none of the three conservative thread mentions I saw, including yours, had any cross insulting going on. So there is absolutely nothing to be sorry for. I just think it would benefit us all if we don’t mention the conservative thread on this thread going forward. But as far as I’m concerned trump, the GOP in Congress and conservatives in general are fair game on the catchall threads if we believe their actions are hurting the country. After all when we talk what’s happening it because we do believe their words and actions are hurting us not only individually but the entire country as well and it’s not just sour grapes on our part because Hillary lost the election. It’s because we care. Ok, off my soap box again.

So as far as we are concerned here, it’s a non issue, even you are welcome to post here.

I've been accused a number of times of saying that, but I never said any such thing. No it wasn't you. It was a few women acting like they got stuck mentally in the eighth grade and said very specifically "stay off our threads". I can't remember who, but I'll find it. It may take me a little bit because the search feature doesn't work as well as it used to, but I'll find it.
