Don't know about him, but the example I try to plant in people's minds is that early in his presidency, he wanted money for a wall, democrats wanted "dreamers" to get citizenship (and every state has infrastructure projects they want). Seemed like great deal making ground to me. I was prepared at the time to be wrong about him and waited to see anything come out along the lines of a bargain. But he proved unable to do it.

Maybe try Antarctica as an example? There are a few people there, and it seems quite possible to settle without conflict (assuming some treaty alterations). Some atoll no one uses all the time? Maybe a lost cause, bloodfart doesn't seem all that interested in the good faith distinction you are pointing out.
I see your point though; the distinction, to me, motivates using less neutrally connoted wording. Something like "invaders" or "raiders". Nice and clear to everyone.
B seems rather intent on making sure the neutral word is seen as a morally charged one. Seems like making one hard project into two projects and thus just increasing the difficulty to me.
Do you have a source on the 'no scope' detail?
I've heard that "no scope" detail elsewhere too. But would love to confirm it or have it disproven.
It is the detail that I keep coming back to that would indicate something about his state of mind, lack of rationality, lack of time, something.
Obama.
I get what your point, and is a fair one. Except there is evidence that he wouldn't have been voting their way, since he was thinking of leaving the court, or at least gave that impression to others to get a raise. Then the gift tap turned on...

You meant, pointless makes roundabouts traffic lights?
Is akin to people complaining about how the posts in a thread don't all agree on something, so the forum and its participants are hypocritical.
I was too young to vote at the time, but the charts and graphs thing was rad.
Hmm... Katamari Damacy, Braid, Portal 1 2 combo. Subnautica.
The one upside I see is that you can swap out the middle and right thirds as needed to change the good and bad politicians when Oceania changes to always have been at war with Eastasia.
