Still trying to understand what messes have been created...
All I see is the opposition protestjng because they aren't getting their way while the rest of the country is supportive. Wasn't there a poll that just came out the majority of Americans support the travel ban? Just because a group is loud doesn't mean they speak for the country.

The EO travel ban with no forethought and piss poor execution (that lead in a way to a legal green card citizen dying FWIW), and some of the worst cabinet appointments seen. And more importantly, the majority of the country isn't supportive, 51% of Gallup poll participants disapprove of his work.

I think most would probably say that the roll out for the ban was pretty bad, but I still think that may have been on purpose. The left absolutely lost their minds over it. Three months from now the Trump admin is going to announce that they have the greatest vetting process of any country every. We're going to love the vetting process. And after that three months most folks in the country are going to look back at the hysteria and think to themselves, did they really lose their minds over that?

Just so I'm clear, the left wants to block the nominee bc the right blocked the nominee a while back, right?
2 questions:
1. Does the left have the numbers and ability to succeed like the right did, for at least 4 years?
2. Is there nothing to the old adage of "being the bigger man" (sorry - is that sexist? SORRY!)... If the dems block this one, the Rs will block the next one. If the dems are serious about "bringing us together, here's a good way to lead by example.

House set to rescind rule that requires oil companies to disclose payments to foreign governments. Link.

This is the only defense they have?
“The SEC’s rule forces U.S. companies to disclose proprietary information to its competitors while foreign entities do not. This can give some large industry players an advantage on future business projects,” the American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, said in a statement.

Remember...the left used to be the party of free speech
When you are unable to even conceive that your own philosophy and morals might be wrong you become dangerous because the feeling of righteousness is used to justify all kinds of atrocities. This is why the polarization in politics today is dangerous. Its already starting with the left trying to shut down opposing viewpoints for being offensive. Eventually they will justify imprisoning people for being pro-life or not wanting to share a bathroom with a tranny. Its slowly going from the fringe elements of the left(and right) to the mainstream.
Yall know my views are "extreme", but I dont go out killing cops no matter how much I think it is justified because I know there is a chance I might be wrong or crazy. Gotta keep things in perspective.
