And Abraham Lincoln's final judicial nominee may open another vacancy on the court soon.

Poor lady (who I disagree with) is forced to try and hold on for another 2 1/2 years in hopes of a leadership change. By 2020 her career will be reduced to what about Bernie jokes.  You'd think we could come up with a better system.

I think perhaps if you don't want to get kicked out of a restaurant, then don't support policies as despicable as seperating kids from families. People who are outraged by the former and not the latter need to take a look at themselves. 

Amen.

Yes, Germany is a great case study. Start two world wars, have the USA bail out your economy post-war, turn West Germany into a capitalist center while East Germany is suffocated in communism. Then let the USA execute a cold war and West Germany takes East. Have the USA subsidize Europe's defense through NATO while Germany fails to pay its 2% GDP bills. Watch Germany take over the EU because all of the other countries have weaker socialist economies. Etc. It is great that they pay for college. With its history of successes, I am sure that Germany is a paragon of managed economies.

And really? The big government socialists here somehow think that ruining someone's dinner at a restaurant puts them in the company of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln? How about people stick to talking about food.

Some have the ability to express a clear point of view utilizing the written word.

Others...don't...

Back to the balloon - the idea that 'If we made an Obama balloon we'd be called racist, or if we made a Hilary ballon we'd be called sexist' is nonsense. Remember that when Maggie Thatcher died, Brits en mass bought 'Ding dong the witch is dead' to get it to number one in the UK singles chart. If Brits are cold enough to club together to dance on a woman's grave, they'd have no problem with making a balloon of an equally despicable female or black person.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Did you write that??  You're good.  Bullying people in a restaurant with whom you disagree, however vehemently, is whining.  Don't like Sarah Huckabee Sanders?, fine, but you don't get to F up her appetizer round and generally make an a$$ of yourself.  Never in my life have I seen conservatives behave in such a childish and intolerant manner.  Liberals either, for that matter.  Look, I can't stand either one of the lying, thieving, narcisisstic Clintons, but I never tried to run Stephanopolous or Lanny Davis out of a restaurant.  Never seen it until now.  

I still dig your crawfish boil, though.  

That was Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence.

I must have missed where someone in this thread advocated bullying people in public.  I believe in the power of the pen before the sword.

Most of the old moderate republicans got bullied out of office by the Tea Baggers, and the Bully In Chief isn't exactly helping quell the partisanship and start an intelligent dialog of political compromise, either.

Here's a thought Milktoast,  don't drag your kids into an unsustainable ****storm and expect things to go peachy...apply for citizenship and immigrate legally. Try pulling the same stunt in Mexico and see how that works out.

Of course you love it, London is so far down the toilet that you can't even see the light from above.

Perhaps I'm feeling a bit froggy today since it is so very near the 242nd anniversary of telling you Brits to get off our damn lawn.

Have you ever actually been to London? I have for what it’s worth, and it’s a great city.  Love the pub culture over there.

Yeah, actually I have, and just listening to the locals talk and the phrases they commonly use was very entertaining, in a bad ass way.
