Full Definition of UPPITY


: putting on or marked by airs of superiority : arrogant, presumptuous <uppity technicians> <a small uppity country>

— up·pi·ti·ness also up·pi·ty·ness noun

We do have an uppity guy in the white house, and Trump is another uppity guy. Both of them use the word "I" way too much.

So Paul Ryan is going to run for Speaker...but has laid out a few conditions, most of which include actually doing the job of Speaker...the Freedom Caucus and other "do absolutely nothing at all" Republicans will cough up a lung before supporting a Speaker who wants to actually do the job.

What's next?

I believe that the Speaker is actually elected by a vote of the whole House. Maybe all the D's could throw their support behind with biggest Wing-nut R they can find and then let R's immolate themselves. Won't be pretty for a year but maybe the voters would get fed up enough to vote for people who will govern, not pander to sound bites.

The Speaker is elected by the whole House, but there is usually consensus by the majority party making the selection fait accompli...

I don't think that the Dems need to throw their support to the biggest fruitcake the Reps put up so they will self-immolate...the GOP started that process themselves several cycles ago when they abandoned several sectors of the American public and embraced the lunatic religious fundamentalists... those fruitcakes are on their way to consuming the GOP and immolating it already, only they want to take the whole country down with them.

When Paul Ryan used words like "unify" and "party of proposition instead of opposition" he wrote off the all important "fruitcake support" he will need to get elected, so either he will have to go back on his word, or the Fruitcake Caucus will have to back down, neither of which I see happening.

The best for the GOP would be to face down the lunatics and drum them out of the party, but they have known this for years and have chosen short term election wins over long term good of the party and the country all that time, not sure why they would change now when they have both houses of Congress.

So, with Obama standing by Biden while he announces his run, does that indicate his alliance with Biden against Hillary, and what does that say about division in the Democratic party?

the whole election is a fu(king circus...


I keep waiting for a Black-Tranny-Lesbian-midget to climb out of the clown car and throw his-her hat in the center ring...

I think you are watching Fox News instead of the press conference.

Now what do you have to say?

Todd

Lol... Darkside "facts"

I am watching Fox right now and seeing the "journalists" and John Bolton talk about Benghazi...no wonder you guys sound likr such fuckin morons when that is where you get your "news".

No Todd,
I just looked over at the press conference and saw Obama standing there. Instant thought was about what the inference was and how that would effect Hillary's position. You don' t think it means anything?

Dude.

It was his VP announcing that he was not running for President, announcing that his career as a public servant will be ending when this term ends.

Mean something? Yes, it means he was showing support for his friend and Vice President.

Stop watching Fox, it's making you dumber.

Todd,
Feeling stupid now, I looked over from my computer and from the sounds of it I thought he was announcing. Sounding like he was throwing out his platform. No Fox news, just did not listen to the entire speech or announcement. You're right about the dumb part, just not the fox news. So, I guess this is actually showing a support among the democratic party. Can I erase the previous posts now?

Hanky is clearly one of the "fruitcakes" now...his political analysis is of roughly the same caliber.

As long as he remembers to vote "on the economy" all will be well in HankLand.

Hank, being jealous of Sol Dunce's spot at the bottom of the barrel should not be inspirational...but goddamn, you didn't know much about poltics when you started, but at least you tried...now you are just flat out stupid.
