    If Trump is gone before 2020 it'll be because his heart is finally crushed by his fat or because he gets fed up and resigns

    That's actually kind of the point. Trump won their primary, but to a lot of the politicians representing the GOP he is not on their side, and visibly does not give a shit about them or what they want. You have to remember that removing him doesn't mean a Democrat gets in to replace him, but that Pence replaces him. Impeaching Trump doesn't contradict your characterization at all.

    The Republican Party operates under Democratic Centralism, wherein the leader of the party selected by their democratic internal process is absolute and their decisions are binding on all members. Some Republicans, like Coward McCain, make a lot of noise about how he's a RINO but have still backed him every single time when it came down to it (in McCain's particular case because Mitch keeps his testicles on the mantlepiece in McConnell Manor). They will never turn on him, and those that do would simply be replaced by the rabid base which supports Trump based on his opposition to democrats and brown people.

    Trump, not so much. Though he does show a worrying camaraderie with such people, I'll freely admit.
    i hear they don't like being called white supremacists either but trump definitely qualifies for the more modern academic usage of white supremacist that has more or less overridden the older classic definition

    Have any mainstream academics actually vouched on the issue yet? I'd be interested to hear, since most scholars (at least when last I read) don't agree that he's a fascist.

    A couple of months ago, the state's Attorney General filed a brief in a lawsuit related to this statute in which he said that the law, as written and enacted, was unconstitutional. It is not unusual for the legislature to repeal a law that is unconstitutional.


    Thankfully, there is another statute still on the books that makes it clear that when a child is born to a married woman, the child is presumed to be that of her husband. So, the repeal of the law does not de-legitimize a child conceived by insemination and, to be honest, the law that will remain on the books is less intrusive into the relationship of a husband and wife than the statute being repealed. Unlike the law being repealed, the remaining law that will now govern the situation does not have the government inquiring into the means by which the couple's child came into existence or whose sperm, the husband's or a donor's, was used.

    I hope that helps explain the overall situation.
    Thanks,

    Terri Lynn Weaver

    They're different things of course.

    I was just pointing out that there seems to be a tendency for the people who actually study these sorts of issues to be more hesitant in applying the more extreme labels then laymen...

    Ohhh, yeah, I think I misread your earlier post. They don't need to come out and say anything since the definition I'm talking about has been around for awhile, there's even a nifty section on wikipedia about it on the white supremacy page

    That reinforced my point pretty strongly.
    Playing to play is fine

    Arguing = playing

    But arguing (playing) to argue (play) is wrong

    Hmmm.

    Anyway this entire awful thread lives and breathes needless pedantry so if you want me to tell Bloble to not be pedantic maybe you're better off petitioning for a thread lock.

    Anyway don't flame and as dads Tobias and Mac have said, don't get personal.

    But yes, debate for debate's sake is about right.
    Banging on and on about something until the other person gets tired and leaves is not the same as winning an argument.

    Also don't spam reports. We get the idea with the first one. Reporting someone like 18 times in a row isn't going to make them get punished faster, it's just going to make you look frivolous.

    Especially if it's over opinions.

    What race do they target? I'd be fascinated to know.
