Predisent Donald J. Trump: Drone Wars Episode III: Revenge of Bernie Would Have Won

I was wondering how long it would take to get to a no true Scotsman take, but I figured that would do it.

Yes, so very clever of you! How silly of me to expect words to mean things, and to group people together based on whether they match those definitions!

I support abandoning the political science definition of "conservative." It's stupid.

The fundamental conceit of political science-verified "conservatism," that you can reverse course on legislation and end up back where you used to be, is misguided. Legislation changes, court rulings change, and society changes. Reverting to previous legislation does not revert to a previous state for the courts or society, so its effect is new even if the legislation is old.


Case and point, Net Neutrality. The FCC's decision is, on its face, legitimately conservative. They are reverting to a previously used way to handle internet regulation. However:
1) the courts stripped the FCC's ability to regulate the internet in that way
2) telecom companies have, over the last decade, figured out how to make money by owning the pipes

The policy might be the same, but the policy outcome is just as different as a novel piece of legislation.

So much winning: http://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/948705115598393345

Saw something about last week, the democrats on the committee won their lawsuit about not being given access to the information. Does take too much conspiracy lean to draw a line between the two. Democrats finally get to review the results, so they shut the whole thing down.

So glad I'm not a Trump guy, otherwise I would be tired of all this winning he warned us about.

I've made a decision to not click on any trump news story in 2018. Maybe if I help drive ratings less he will be talked about less somehow....

Jefferson Beau is ending the policy of looking the other way for states that legalized weed.
