Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

also not much love from the rabid base do or dies for Pence i'm guessing

oh boy the Pence v. Trump argument again

in the unlikely argument that Pence becomes president before 2020 he goes down easily. Trump won because he was Trump. Pence is a failed governor and mediocre GOP ghoul.

Doctor C otmfm

Trump is a part of the GOP fabric and not some weird aberration.

Yeah X eleventy, and this:

Trump is uniquely incompetent and unbalanced and taking us in the wrong direction, but also his policies are the same bad Republican policies "that got us into this mess"

...is conveniently also the best response to Comeygate. We can walk AND chew gum simultaneously.

YES, Comey interfered inappropriately with the election. BUT ALSO firing Comey when he's investigating YOU can still be NAGL.

This shouldn't be too hard to understand. Especially for people who think that fatally shooting a suspected shoplifter = justice rightly dispensed.

Continuing marcos's point, impeachment - which I agree is vanishingly unlikely - also just takes up a ton of fucking time and energy. Congress gets nothing done and the airwaves have no space for you to sell people on your agenda, since every time you're invited on a show it's for a roundtable where the topic is the impeachment proceedings and you're being asked to defend your support of the president etc. etc. OTOH that applies as much to majority as minority congresspeople - I could see the imaginary Dem majority not even wanting to fuck around with it, even if they thought they had an airtight case, precisely because that quagmire effect could backfire (as it did for the Republicans, nigh two decades back).

democrats who decide it may not be _strategically important_ to go for impeachment will very, very rapidly be persuaded to re-evaluate their priorities. i don't give a fuck about an "agenda" you have no fucking way of accomplishing anyhow. you go after him, and you go after him hard, and that is your _only_ job.

we wouldve gotten a horrible health care repeal with President Romney or President (Jeb!) Bush. I keep telling my lib friends at home to think of the party of ghouls to which Trump belongs. They are charlatans, cupbearers to white male satraps who believe in tax breaks and babies who survive abortions to become poor people for whom there will be no social services.

^^^^^

The boy with the white male satrap

they are people who believe that it would be better to be a slave than on welfare

that would be a gallup poll with terrifying results

Lavrov is funny

Guys, I have the solution to everything

A Republican close to President tells me Trump has been increasingly isolated in recent days. Frustrated, avoiding major public appearances

Trump is grappling with the harsh reality of governing and media scrutiny, which he has told friends he hoped would eventually abate, per R

Aw, boo hoo. Does he need another rally? Memorial Day weekend's coming up. I guarantee he's gonna have one of his masturbatory crowd-work extravaganzas in Milwaukee or someplace.

oh my god i would totally vote for the rock TWICE. love him.

he's a republican

A friend suggests Joe Lieberman for FBI director--respected Democrat/independent, former senator, former AG of CT

"Trump has been increasingly isolated in recent days"

I have no particular interest in supporting the Rock's candidacy but I confess I would kinda like to see Emperor Tinyhands compete in a metaphorical dick-size contest with a guy whose actual name is Johnson.

if trump brings joe lieberman back from the dead i will die.

love for the rock is one of the few things me and trump voters can agree on.

on that methane bill: the Maverick did it?

the rock seems like a real nice, genuinely kind and magnanimous guy, who should not be president

please, no more politicians who have actually set food inside a pro-wrestling ring

great image there

McCain’s conduct during the Senate vote also raises red flags. In the C-SPAN video of the vote, McCain can be seen in heated discussion with John Cornyn, R-Texas, the number two man in the Senate leadership, along with John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and an unidentified Senator with his back to the camera. After yelling at them for close to a minute, McCain goes over to the Senate clerks and gives a thumbs down to record his vote. He then storms out of the chamber, as Cornyn raises his arms in mild protest.

heh

xp: that is the best typo

no wrestlemania caterers!

holy fuck re that methane vote

http://vz.cnwimg.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/pasta.jpg

also McCain is the dude who apparently inflicted Sarah Palin on us in a fit of pique because he couldn't get the VP he wanted, so I 100% believe that reading of events

the video is fun

SOURCE: Trump demanded that all grand juries end or Comey would be fired.

Comey told Trump to fire him.

— Resistance DB (@davebernstein) May 10, 2017

this seems pretty implausible

Don't you trust SOURCE?

Comey though it a late April Fool's joke.

Trump is grappling with the harsh reality of governing and media scrutiny, which he has told friends he hoped would eventually abate, per R

didn't he give an interview where he mentioned he thought the media would stop going hard on him after he got the nomination? the man is...not very bright

the most amazing part of this is how Trump apparently was sure this was gonna be a slam dunk for him given that the Dems didn't like Comey either, completely oblivious to how this was going to come off

“Tell him, you know, it’s a think piece about a middling intellect struggling with his own limitations in the harsh face of power. He’ll wet himself.”

yeah this is probably the most unbelievable part to me -- like i know he's so, so dumb, but thinking dems/liberals would applaud this is delusional in the extreme

i don't think he's that dumb. i think he thought this was his least bad option.

he might be that dumb

Yeah, if your house were burning down, you'd want all the available firefighters to show up. Even Kenny, who's on probation for public drunkenness.

Doesn't mean you like Kenny or think his indiscretions should be excused.

Fuckin' Kenny.
