Re: What the right fails to grasp about "due process" and the right to "face your accuser"
IF I have to study I'll just refer to your post which is a prefect example; one of the best I've seen on DP in a long time. As for the rest of your "likelihood". I heard all those "permanent Democratic majority" chants when Obama got elected; within two years he'd lost his commanding control of Congress, including 63 seats in the and control in the House. And nearly a thousand state and local seats as well. You guys STILL don't grasp the dismal performance of the Dems under Obama and his own failures are what gave Trump the White House and GOP control of Congress. You guys had a chance to show what you could do in 2018 and you've pissed it away with your obsessive anti-Trumpism.
I'll hand it to repubs, they are sneaky snakes in the grass, they gerrymandered so many districts, that's why they take them. We have more votes going to dems, but the seats are going to repubs, that's gerrymandering. Repubs can't win seats on merit, they have to cheat. Yeah, one or two districts wsere gerrymandered by the left, but the repubs gerrymandered a good portion of the map,
there is no equivalency on that point, so don't try and make it. Also, the cheating deosn't stop there, a book can be written about how repubs cheat in the vote. Sure, DNC/Hillary gave us some shenanigans, but she is Mother Theresa when it comes to cheating the vote compared to republicans. (Interstate crosscheck purged some 1.1 million from voter reg rolls, caging, restricting voting booths and voting days and times for areas that have minorities, and it goes on ).
It must have taken courage to pass the ACA, to sacrifice to get it passed. But, it took people a while to like it, and when the finally saw passed the noisy negativist repubs, they realized it was a good thing, AND WE TOOK BACK THE HOUSE, DID WE NOT?
What failures? Trump lost the popular vote to the worst candidate we've nominated in years.
Obama only had a "commanding control" of congress ( vis a vis the Senate ) for a very small window, just a couple of months, and during that small window, a monumental health care bill was passed,
Trump, other than a crime bill, hasn't accomplished squat ( and don't give me "executive orders signed" any moron can do that, talk to me about legislative achievements.)
His tax break has disproportionately helped his rich buddies, including his own family, to the tune of millions, which is NOT trickling down, but creating a much greater burden on everyone else, to pay the government bills and this is causing deficits to careen out of control, far beyond anything that Obama did. The last time there was a surplus, a dem was president, the last two times the economy crashed, in 1929 and 2008. a republican was president, nd both times dems had to come in and clean up the mess. Repubs drove America into a huge ditch, and Obama got us finally out of that ditch, and what did repubs do? They bitched that Obama didn't get us out of the ditch fast enough, when it was they who drove us into the ditch in the first place.
And talk about failures, Trump failed to build his wall and sure has hell failed to get Mexico to pay for it, he failed to get any kind of new health care bill passed and he failed to kill obamacare, but he is nickling and dimeing it to death. But none of that compares to his betraying AMerica.
IN fact, the GOP is the crime party, not as in "prevention" but as in "guilty of"
Dems got it all over repubs on a variety of stats,
Presidential Data 2016
I hate to tell you this, but you guys put the worst president in history in the white house, and now you have to own it, and it totally destroyed all of your collective credibiity.
