If Trump weren't so stupid, I'd wonder if all of this stuff was designed to destabilize the Middle East so he could get America in a war there next year to help his re-election odds. Or maybe that plan is stupid enough for him to try it?

The plan isn't his. It's Putin calling in his favors while he can.

It is really hard to not like Tulsi at this point. She is literally the only candidate who actually wants to bridge the divide in this country and make it bipartisan. Wish other candidates would take a cue from her.

I'm sure he isn't "letting them attack our soldiers / let Isis escape". So, again, framing with embellishment. I don't think we are required to always support the Kurds. When we entered Syria, there was a lot of articles about how it was finding the lesser evil to support as all the groups had issues and none were actually pure. I would need more details on the situation but a nato ally would obviously come before the small group of Kurds in Syria. It's something I need to look into more.

Her name is Neomi Rao and everything about her seems batshit insane.

Basically argues we should abolish checks we put in place to regulate the President while also musing about how it's so weird that the President has so much power and the legislature can't really stop him. Look forward to seeing a ruling consistent with this and her dissent here in SCOTUS.

Bonus thread about her confirmation where she's asked about crazy things she wrote in her college days because why not

That's what happened, Jakyl. The courts have basically become jokes. Conservative Courts will rule for Conservatives. Liberals for Liberals. And, it's just nonsensical. It's just going through the loop til you get the right judge for your side.

Well, let's see. David Briones, nominated by Bill Clinton. El Paso Judge.

George Daniels, nominated by Bill Clinton. NY Judge.

David Tatel, Opinion from DC Circuit. Nominated by Bill Clinton.

Neomi Rao, Dissenting Opinion from DC Circuit. Nominated by Donald Trump.

I mean, if you pay attention to this court stuff in regards to politics, it is pretty obvious what party is what in regards to shit like 95% of the time.

The courts in regards to politics don't make sense because you are letting them be chosen by political ideology. I don't know how you could ever separate it, but judges with zero political beliefs would be the best. However, impossible.

The law is to be upheld no matter what or society breaks down and is lawless. Like I said, these verdicts will be upheld, then probably go to the next higher court which eventually one will be conservative and likely side with Trump. These rulings ironically don't matter much, so little reason to get so gleeful cuz a Liberal judge supported the liberal side in a ruling. Whatever the end outcome is, should be supported no matter what.

The fact that you people hate Tulsi so much proves that she is the best Democratic candidate in the race. You people have a great talent for picking the worst candidate, so great that you probably picked the one person out of 300 million Americans who could have lost to Donald Trump in 2016.

The good news is, since we already picked the one person who could lose to Trump, we really have no use for Tulsi at all, since everyone else can beat him.

China cant afford a war or you know, a loss of the US market, either.

We have enough leverage that we dont need to give them unyielding support.

That was in 2016. When you lost to him you made him stronger. Now he can beat a lot of people.

Yeah, as hard as Tulsi is pandering to the right, she wont get any R votes.

Which means when she runs third party shes only screwing the left

Which at this point seems like it was her intention all along
