Man, I miss having a president who was just a transparent shill for native corporations, rather than for a hostile foreign government, too.

I can't help but think that's closer to your intent. Trump's been pretty cheerfully shilling for native corps, too...

Yeah, there's apparently at least one german ngo seeking warrant for haspel's arrest already. Clownshoe clusterfuck continues...

Aaaannnnddd tillerson is out. To replaced by something that sounds like a volcano and unfortunately appears to possibly be worse than tillerson for anyone not crawled up the GOP's digestive system (well, probably them, too, but gods know it wouldn't be admitted). Not that it makes terribly much of a difference these days when republicans (barring maybe like two in congress or somethin') regardless of extreme views vote lockstep with whoever has a R by their name that walks up and shits on the rug, but whatever.

But anywaaay. Another one gone, etc., etc.

As if white people are the only ones who do that, but I get the point that person is making.

The House Intel Commitee Republicans are ending the Russia probe they are doing, say they found no collusion and no signs that Russia meddled to specifically help Trump. It'd be for the best anyway since it became a major farce what with the partianship. The Senate investigation and Muellers probe are still ongoing.

Also this is your day's reminder "collusion" means precisely jack all from a legal perspective. There's no charge, it's not illegal, so on, so forth. Though the no signs thing is blatant bullshittery I'm pretty sure you could disprove at this point watching goddamn fox news, never mind anything worth a damn news wise.

Meuller's been hitting/is going to hit people with charges for conspiracy, and related issues. Which actually exists as a legal concept, unlike collusion. Not that you should put stock in much of anything coming out the republican intel committee members at this point. Maybe after something fortunate for the rest of us happens to nunes.

Perhaps y'all should consider... cats. Cat infestation is much more purry. I guess there's dog breeds engineered for rat hunting, too, if it came to it. They don't purr nearly as much, though.

... though it does remind me of the time a rat got in my house when I was much, much younger, and we shortly got treated to the sight of one of the resident felines hauling off a rat that was bigger than the cat was. Furry little superpredator ftw.

... talking about china is kinda' pointless, though. The tariffs were targeting everyone (incidentally, no one I've noticed concerned about the tariffs have given a single shit about china's reaction), and now that they might not be they're basically fucking useless for doing much about chinese steel flooding the market (never mind china's already been downshifting on that front for a few years, now, apparently). At most you're going to be boosting whoever you spare from the tariffs while screwing over everyone domestic that relies on produced steel and aluminum. Domestic production ramping up is cute, since it helps roughly sod all until it's actually built and running, assuming it happens at all worth mention.

Like. Congrats, you've made canada and mexico's (or the eventual whoever) economic ties to china stronger with no gain for yourself, while pissing off many of your allies and possibly/probably starting a trade war, and screwing over your own economy even if your domestic capability does decide there's some benefit to producing more since there's both an interim period involved and the flat sodding fact we're better off jobs wise producing crap with steel rather than producing steel. If your aim was to punish china or help yourself you're doing a much better impression of poodle fornication and should maybe reconsidering screwing the pooch.

Maybe rephrase the question? If the bit specifically trying to aim at what seemed to be the question was off base, it might help aim better.

Not terribly accurate portrayal of american conservatives, unfortunately. Conservatives of the GOP direction are perfectly happy interfering with people's lives (see most anything lgbt related, as an example) and shitting all over their rights (see massive swaths of law enforcement and national security related issues).

Re: the question itself, I honestly can't list something out off the top of my head, largely because the conservative stance on the concept of social contract is inconsistent as everloving fuck and hypocritical bloody often to boot. Liberal side of things is much better on that front, but still has its jittery bits.

I'd probably be leery about trying to actually hammer down some kind of list of either side, basically, especially if it's based on more on professed beliefs than actions.

Not really. Just odd.

Incidentally, the purple mountain dew makes a disturbingly good base for green tea. Boil it instead of water, steep the tea, drink, collapse a few hours later when you come down from the high enjoy. Specifically tried it with whatever it is that's common-ish honey/lemon/ginsing blend green tea.
