I heard a RNC prayer the other day that was pure hate.

think it is safe to say the GOP is the party of hate.

I guess I'm in good company since virtually every economist who's looked at Trumps economic blueprint says it would be a disaster of unprecedented proportions.

I agree with ZJ on this. Even if Trump gets elected as President, he will get zero support form the Democrats and very little from the Republicans. Afterall, Trump probably is not worried about getting reelected but the members of Congress are. A Trump presidency will be ajoke but not quite a disaster as most predict.

As for the SCOTUS, that would be scary since that's mostly ideology and not politics.

Yeah, he can submit a budget, but it really can't go anywhere unless congress appropriates it. That's how we get these shut downs ever so often.

Having a Congress approved SCOTUS is always scary.

No pretense, no coded language, no dog whistles, just straight up racism.
'Bigot breakouts' are a recurring and increasing phenomena this year.

So, a Trump staffer admits to plagiarism after two days of Trump and Manafort denials.

The Republicans are now showing a pattern of 'praying for disaster.' Tuesday's prayer was a heart-warming display of Christian hate; Wednesday sees Republicans on the floor getting their anti-Muslim bigotry triggered by the prayer of the 'Muslims for Trump' leader.

You deny long enough to get into the 'old news' area, then you admits to it so you can't be hit with it later.
