Is anyone here stupid enough to think this putz has any redeeming qualities in regards to anything that is related to how we run our society?
Let's hope he does. The guy is a waste of oxygen.
Can we start a pcgeek11 batshit crazy thread?
Schiff is a great congressman and Garvey has no chance. It will be a blowout.
I'm praying for the magical hamberder that strokes him into Trump the turnip.I just worry that we cant rely on Trump being the usual emotional dumpsterfire that he used to be, he seems broken to me. You will have a much better "feel" for what Haley supporters will stand for and what not. So. Ok.
Lol his supporters would!!!I'm praying for the magical hamberder that strokes him into Trump the turnip.
Would you vote for a vegetable for president?
Not a dictatorship, but they absolutely are gunning for flawed democracy.
You voted for Trump twice. So we know lying doesn't bother you.Schiff is more than likely going to blow Garvey out of the water.
Schiff is an underhanded lying sack of baboon shit, but he is a politician so ...
You're going to have provide a lot more to build your case.......Not a dictatorship, but they absolutely are gunning for flawed democracy.

Why India needs a new debate on caste quotas
Shashi Tharoor on why India needs a new debate on affirmative action after last week's caste-related violence in Gujarat that claimed at least eight lives.www.bbc.com
India's constitution, adopted in 1950, inaugurated the world's oldest and farthest-reaching affirmative action programme, guaranteeing scheduled castes and tribes - the most disadvantaged groups in Hinduism's hierarchy - not only equality of opportunity but guaranteed outcomes, with reserved places in educational institutions, government jobs and even seats in parliament and the state assemblies.
These "reservations" or quotas were granted to groups on the basis of their (presumably immutable) caste identities. The logic of reservations in India was simple: they were justified as a means of making up for millennia of discrimination based on birth.
As more and more people sought fewer available government and university positions, we witnessed the unedifying (and unwittingly hilarious) spectacle of castes fighting with each other to be declared backward: the competitive zeal of the Meena and the Gujjar communities in Rajasthan, castes not originally listed as OBCs, to be deemed more backward than each other would be funny if both sides weren't so deadly serious.
As an uncle of mine sagely observed, "In our country now, you can't go forward unless you're a backward."
The Patels, however, are an unlikely caste to be seeking such recognition: they are in fact dominant in Gujarat, prominent, successful and wealthy beyond their share of 15% of the state's population.
But to suggest that the caste as a whole deserves reservations strikes most people of Gujarat as absurd.
The problem, as all too often in India, is politics.
India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru had hoped that caste consciousness would wither away after Independence, but the opposite has happened.
Because caste was such a powerful source of self-identification, it proved to be a useful tool of political mobilisation in India's electoral democracy: when an Indian casts his vote, he too often votes his caste. Granting sops to various castes proved a major vote-catcher for India's politicians.
The number benefiting from such sops varies from state to state, but has reached extreme proportions in a state like Tamil Nadu, where 69% of government jobs and educational positions are reserved for a range of deprived and disadvantaged castes - so much so that the state has a cottage industry of fake caste certificates for Brahmins seeking to pass themselves off as Dalits, formerly known as untouchables.
Backlash
Inevitably, a backlash has set in, with members of the forward castes decrying the unfairness of affirmative action in perpetuity, and asking whether it is reasonable, for instance, that the daughter of a senior government servant from a backward caste should benefit from reservations while the son of his upper-caste driver or clerk competes for limited unreserved seats.
Nah, he’s good. Also he was willing to stand up and take the heat for impeaching Trump, which was great.Schiff is more than likely going to blow Garvey out of the water.
