perception is everything?

[_subgenius]

like i said, for you, or the DNC, it may not be a win (such is the way of governance), but i assure you i got more than a trophy.
#whileyouwerenotlooking

Yep, anytime you want to spell out exactly what that is.

But perhaps you’re merely satisfied with being told that you’re ‘winning’. ; )

awkward, but i did spell it out...quite succinctly, even for an abridged version....and i did not have to be told, unlike the DNC faithful, i can think for myself.

Doesn’t appear so. In needing to try to show ‘winning’, you think that you ‘won’ Medicare, Israel and coal. I’ll bet that if you imagine hard enough, you’ll see a pony in there somewhere, too.

Yep. #winning, indeed.

here is a quick update for the #winning list (hot off zee press):

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/supreme-court ... ories.html

The Supreme Court has upheld President Donald Trump's travel ban in one of the most highly anticipated decisions of this year, saying the ban is "squarely within" the president's authority.

The Court's 5-4 ruling that the third iteration of Trump's controversial proposal, Travel Ban 3.0, is constitutional comes after two previous attempts by the administration to bar immigration to the United States from certain foreign countries.

I thought that 2.0 was likely constitutional, so the ruling on 3.0 wasn't really a surprise.

Exactly. I suppose that subs feels as if he has ‘won’ something with this; perhaps my crazy focus on items that substantially effect American Citizens as opposed to preventing a limited number of foreigners from traveling here was too nutty a request. Maybe all that Trump voters need is a long list of folks to direct their overflowing angst and petty anger at, and maybe they find great satisfaction merely in denying privileges to random non-conservatives. Maybe this sort of thing will still make subs feel warm and fuzzy as his portfolio stagnates and his health insurance costs skyrocket.

So #winning!

I guess if we're keeping score, he's 1-2 on travel bans...

the real #winning is the part where your snark and condescension have no influence on what is important to my life or how I live it...for example, I can believe in self-actualization, adulting, personal responsibility, and that the travel ban is a good thing....all the while not caring that you don't. (fyi, my healthcare costs are muy bien, because I'm not on Obamacare, that's just healthcare for poor people to keep them poor).

yet, still #winning. (and this isn't a 1-2 decision, this is an endorsement of presidential power...oops! hair fires on zee horizon).

So, is perception everything? or will November 2018 suddenly manifest something altogether different?

The Democrats are likely to going pick up a Senate seat from Arizona here.

PHOENIX — A CBS News poll of likely voters showed Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema leading her Republican rivals in head-to-head match-ups in their Senate race in Arizona.

Sinema topped former state Sen. Kelli Ward, 43 percent to 35 percent; Rep. Martha McSally 41 percent to 34 percent and former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, 45 percent to 28 percent.

Oh, goodness. Is that all that it takes? I had no idea that your rejection of my ‘snark’ is what makes you feel so special. Now, I feel special for helping you to feel special. We’re both #winning, and I don’t even have to do anything!

Of course, it’s too bad about trade, the markets, energy, security and healthcare costs, for the rest of Murrica. Let those silly Trump voters feast on pride, right? That’ll do it. It’s just like I alluded to before; conservatives have thoroughly co-opted the Snowflake banner and are in desperate daily need of affirmation of their ‘winning’, apparently obtained by being prideful of trying to knock some other schmuck off his or her pedestal. Whatever floats your boat.

By the way, having obtained insurance through the exchanges isn’t a limiting factor when it comes to cost increases. You know this, and you’ll be reminded of it again later this year when your portion of the cost hikes up again.

#wwwwinning!
