He used the words "This entire area."

I believe I mentioned a while back that I relocated to Northern Virginia, I'm right outside DC and smack in the middle of the liberal bubble. This is the East Coast version of California complete with it's own Silicon Valley.

So when I say "this entire area" I'm quite literally referring to the ground under my feet and the political influence inherent in it. Every morning I turn on the radio as I drive to work and have to deal with the "why can't we impeach him already" radio personalities. ***like "how has your idea of gender been changed with the election of Trump" and so forth.

I've been to DC many times and I assure you it smells like a swamp.

And don't say that the Republicans are the same. Unlike the hero worship the liberals/democrats gave Obama, Trump has been receiving almost no support from Republicans in Congress. Some (McCain/Lieberman (although....)) have openly opposed some things Trump has done in recent months.

That's because Trump isn't a Republican and the Republican's know it. Trump might as well put a (I) next to his name. Both parties hate him because it's not one of them, the liberals overtly because they lost and they absolutely loath losing, and the conservatives covertly because they need to maintain some semblance of face.

And just in case anyone here though the Republicans would defend or support Trump, if Trump gets impeached or resigns then Pence becomes President. The Republicans would absolutely love having a "real Republican" as President, they have no love for President Trump or desire to see him stay in office.

I think it is more we just wanted someone to win. And let's face it Jeb Bush is like plain toast. He couldn't win a pinewood derby let alone election.

The point is that you keep using Logical Fallacies incorrectly in an effort to give you a step up on whoever you are arguing with.
Um...thanks? I guess?

I mean, I guess the goal is to not use logical fallacies at all, since that underminds the argument being made, but using them incorrectly is a good thing? I think?

eliroo said: »
Why not just take it as advice and learn how to actually use the fallacy correctly.
Naw, I don't want to learn how to debate like Vic and Pleebo.

eliroo said: »
I've pointed how you've used it wrong how many times?
Except you haven't. You think you have, but you keep missing the mark.

You are the Logical Stormtrooper of FFXIAH.com. Every time you shoot your mouth off, it misses the point.

eliroo said: »
Just stop using it, or learn how to use it.
Again, isn't the point to not use it period? If I'm not using it to the effect you wanted, does that mean that I'm not using it period?

I lived in the DC area off and on from '61 - '72, Alexandria for two years. It was liberal then too.

Abusive spouses (DC) have a vested interest in keeping their partners (citizens) hooked on the idea that life without them would've a disaster if it was ever attempted. Trump is the embodiment that anyone can goto Washington and show them how it's done. If he's successful, it really means the idea that those in DC are uniquely qualified to be there is just another way they *** us over in the quest to rip us off.

They all have a heavily vested interest in preventing him from succeeding.

In the "totally wrong but absolutely hilarious" category:

Texas teacher's 'most likely to become a terrorist' award for student draws backlash

Quote:
A teacher at a Texas school was suspended after she presented a student with "Most likely to become a terrorist" award on Tuesday, the girl's family said.

...

Villanueva, who is part of an academic honors program, said a group of teachers were giving the certificates out as a joke, part of a mock awards ceremony before summer vacation, according to The Washington Post. The 13-year-old found nothing about it funny.

...

Other awards students received included "most likely to cry for every little thing" and "most likely to become homeless."

So, when and where is the next special election that is totally a referendum on Trump until the Republican wins and then it's totally not? I need to make sure my list gets updated.

Isn't it Georgia again?

Last election was to determine who will be in the runoff. This time, it's for keeps.

Let's see how much outside money is wasted from San Francisco before Handel wins.

I lived in the DC area off and on from '61 - '72, Alexandria for two years. It was liberal then too.

The home of the 4th Circuit is Richmond VA, so while it covers a large spot of the mid-Atlantic region it's political slant is decidedly left. This was further pushed left during Obama's time as his appointed several activist judges to the bench.

Did you know that there are several area's in the 9th circuits domain that are very conservative yet because of the 9th being located in San Francisco and being politically connected to California it's an extremely liberal court.

It's an extremely beautiful area. The really crazy part is how hyper-segregated it is, which considering the political leanings shouldn't be happening. What I've seen out here only confirms my believes that most modern progressives are just upper middle class members with a self loathing streak.
