Why am I still watching the Sunday talk shows? Just filled with GOP idiots and BS

On the day the President gets sworn in they have tons of GOP douche-bags tearing him down.
Do Democrats ever get a weekend to make their case on these shows?
No.
They are stacking the deck every week.
Rick Santorum?
Newt?
Morning Douche?
Stop wasting my time networks or I'll just stop DVRing all this crap.

House Republicans are holding their winter retreat in Colonial Williamsburg.....

Because they are happiest in a place that symbolizes America before an influx of Latino immigrants, women's suffrage and the emancipation of slaves.

If the big run on gun and ammunition purchases were being led by African-Americans and Latinos.....

the Republican Party would vote to revoke the 2nd Amendment.

Why should the President put a coin in the meter to buy House Republicans more time?

No coin for you GOP.
Fix it yourselves.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Treasury Department will not mint a high-value platinum coin to avert the debt ceiling, according to an official statement from the Obama administration obtained by the Huffington Post on Saturday.

"Neither the Treasury Department nor the Federal Reserve believes that the law can or should be used to facilitate the production of platinum coins for the purpose of avoiding an increase in the debt limit," the statement reads.

Obama has never given any indication that he would be amenable to "the platinum option," but White House spokesman Jay Carney refused to rule it out in a press conference earlier this week.

A 1996 law permits the Treasury to mint platinum coins at any denomination it wishes, irrespective of the amount of platinum used in the coin. A $1 trillion coin could be deposited at the Federal Reserve, giving the Treasury the power to withdraw funds based on this account to meet government obligations. The coin would not grant any new spending powers to the administration, however, and as a result would be unlikely to cause inflation. It would only allow the Obama administration to pay bills already incurred by Congress. Refusing to raise the debt ceiling would prevent the government from making good on its existing commitments...........

SE Cupp doesn't know what "rapid-fire" or Military grade weapons" means

She wants to haggle over definitions and context?
What a dumbass neocon.

Alex Jones was wrong on CNN. The scenario that he shouted about is 1861, not 1776...

but I don't think he understands the difference.

"I am for a war with Iran if we have to..." Thanks Chris Matthews, now STFU

Who are you to say if we should go to war with anyone since you will believe anyone?

Now it's okay to be prejudiced against fat people at DU.

I was Juror #4


A fat man as President I don't think so

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

What is this idiot's obsession with overweight people.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jan 8, 2013, 01:57 AM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: prejudice is evident.
If we replaced the word "fat" with "black", "Asian" or "gay" it would be universally unacceptable, right?
I hope the rest of the jury agrees that discriminatory hate speech not be allowed at DU against heavy people or anyone else.

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

About ZonkerHarris

Nixon was a fucking crook. As a teenager I marched on the UN in 1982 with a million other people demanding we get rid of the threat of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads. Since then I've worked to get Democrats elected like John Aristotle Phillips, known as the A-Bomb Kid when he ran for Congress against Stuart McKinney in CT in the 80's (we lost twice) through the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. I want to legalize cannabis, reform our prison for profit system, cut our military budget, get out of Afghanistan and push solar energy panels into every building in the USA.
