LawTalkers - I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

Yeah, man, that's some groovy shit you're talking there. People are people, man, not labels. People who use labels just want to put us all in boxes, which is totally uncool and a really great way to reap some really bad karma. Those people need to open their hearts and understand that people should be in meadows, not in boxes. Every time you use a label, a daisy dies.

Sebby is taking a short break from both-sides-do-it now that his team is focusing on the two sides being compared being Assad's Syria and Hitler's Germany.

Hypothesis: Republicans are what's wrong with US politics, because they change their mind to side with their party and against Democrats.

Quote:

Democrats:
37% support Trump's Syria strikes
38% supported Obama doing it

GOP:
86% supported Trump doing it
22% supported Obama doing

Obama didn't "hit them," so it's hard to give a reason, but when he came closest it was over Assad's use of chemical weapons, the reason and/or pretext given last week.

What? You want another example? OK, how 'bout the economy.

The source upon which I relied compared support for Trump's strike on Syria and support for Obama doing it, which equates the two pretty closely. Sounds reasonable to me. Not sure why you think the situations were so different that many people would approach them differently. What do you think is driving the fact that so many Republicans supported what Trump did but did not support the idea of Obama striking Syria?

Howard Stern is discussing this now. He feels that Spicer needs to get fired.

Robin feels that his stupidity is the reason he was picked. Like, instead of talking about the issue, the whole country is talking about his gaffs. To me, that seems too thought out for these guys?

I get putting people in Cabinet positions that are adverse to the existence of their agency, but if that is goal wouldn't no press conferences be the answer?
