Quote from: boghProblem being that Warren didn't actually break a rule (as the rule applies to Senators, not nominees) and got punished, whereas Conway clearly broke a law and wasn't punished. So not so lol really.

those enforcing the rule interpreted it as applying to her, and a broad reading could make the rule apply to her. assuming kellyanne said something she shouldn't have said, which I think is arguable, then it's a question of how narrowly the rule can be interpreted so as to free her from punishment. I haven't read the rule, but I can safely say not punishing her is legit

Yeah. The people enforcing rules in either case are clearly not capable of enforcing them in a reasonable and balanced manner, wielding them like tools of political partisanship. Zero respect for the intent of the rules isn't something to cheerlead or LOL at.

You are wasting your time. :secret:

america's political system has ignored the intent of the constitution by having two parties despite rules originally intending for only one political party

perhaps trump can fix this

Lol Donald can't take the heat lmao

No he can't. Can't take the pressure and three weeks in.

LMAO neither can LaCrock.  Whining about "NYT" then linking to an opinion piece by Mat Flegenheimer.  SAD.

Just saying.

Not even you can believe this kind of bullshit.  The US Constitution is agnostic on political parties, and never mentions "only one political party" even once.

But you can inform the general audience.  Trolls will never themselves be convinced, I agree.  Even the ones not so arrogant that they don't deign to use punctuation.

That is neither here nor there.

On the original issue - do you really believe that incredibly biased, uneven and partisan application of rules and law is what America needs?

LaCroix, rather than defending every trump adminstration thing with whatever comes to your mind with 2 seconds of reflection, you would do much better by posting far less frequently and giving real thought to your arguments.

And when I say "much better", I'm talking about for you who gets banned for spamming nonsense, for us that are reading your spam, and for the trump admin that you are trying to defend.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

that's not an opinion piece, unless you're stretching "opinion" to include non-opinion articles

Quote from: grumblerThe US Constitution is agnostic on political parties, and never mentions "only one political party" even once.

see, I wondered if that was what I had read, but went with one party instead. there's not much difference, although I could have said "perhaps trump could truly bring politics back to the people." either way works with me

@bogh, rules are applied in bias ways all the time. I don't think courts should apply rules in incredibly biased, uneven, and partisan ways, but this didn't have anything to do with courts

I don't think this has to do with reflection or real thought. I could post my arguments on /r/the_donald and find agreement

La Croix doesn't even do a good job. He's a so-called Troll. Gives Trolls a bad name. Sad
