Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

But when his base gets cut off in traffic by some douchebag with slicked back hair in a BMW zipping around like a maniac and flipping people off... in the past maybe they were pissed and disgusted but in Trump's America are they filled with a comforting warmness because it reminds them of papa Donny or is the sensation just them pissing themselves because they're such fucking idiots?

weak man's idea of a strong man etc.

I just want to see someone haul off and punch his fucking teeth out on camera. It's all I want in the whole, wide world.

get Gianforte on the phone

Extraterrestrials, though, go on with your bad self

not-so-sly dig at "the press" there?

Gianaforte charged w assault, newspapers pulling endorsements

Quist smart to keep his mouth shut. Give 'em enough rope etc.

I will be surprised if this actually swings the election though. I guess my prejudicial reading of GOP voters is that they like abusive assholes.

Well that and a lot of early votes already cast.

holy shit @ that Macron clip

my prejudicial reading of GOP voters is that they like abusive assholes.

whatever gave you that idea?

Well that and a lot of early votes already cast.

yeah I've heard 2/3rds of the early votes are in? so he's still probably gonna win, though I guess we don't know how bodyslamming a dude affects election results

And more fun for Congress!

Four things are all true: a) there are plenty of people who will applaud Gianforte for punching out a reporter b) 100% of those people were voting for Gianforte anyway c) this could move a lot of votes away from Gianforte without swinging the election, it's really not that clear it was close before yesterday and nobody thought Quist was ahead d) as mentioned above, more than half the vote is already in the books

physical altercations are only appropriate when the president does it

This is kinda funny: Lieberman saying to Trump, "Yeah, when you picked the guy at a law firm I work at to be your emergency counsel, that's not good."

Greg Gianforte made his fortune with corporate customer service software, so it shouldn't be any surprise he likes brutalizing people

Anybody remember that bullshit "pink pistols" scare that showed up on Fox News & Oreilly 10 years ago? Here's an interview with Rashad Robinson, who was pulled on the show to talk about it

Listening to Politically Re-Active with W. Kamau Bell & Hari Kondabolu (Rashad Robinson & Color of Change Cancels Bill O'Reilly)

Rashad Robinson has done battle with Bill O’Reilly and won – twice. He’s taken on the shady, corporate-driven conservative operation ALEC and gotten companies like Coca Cola and Walmart to back down from supporting stand-your-ground laws. And now, after successfully campaigning to remove O’Reilly from Fox News - along with
great work from UltraViolet, the Women's March, NOW-New York, CREDO, Sleeping Giants, and MoveOn - he’s taking on the prison-profiteering bail bond industry – and it’s not even June. As executive director of Color of Change, the nation's largest online racial justice organization, Rashad is at the forefront of the strategic campaigns that transform lives and movements. In this episode of Politically Re-Active, he shares the backstories behind these campaigns, the role of entertainment in the resistance, and more. Trust us – you won’t want to miss it!

Please visit Color of Change to learn how you can support their campaigns, especially their current campaign to reform the bail bond industry: https://www.colorofchange.org/. And follow Rashad on Twitter: @rashadrobinson.

Get in the head of one of your favorite hosts! Kamau’s book “The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell” is available on Amazon. You can find a link as well as dates for his book tour at http://www.wkamaubell.com/. Hari also really, really wants you to listen to his albums and come to his shows. Do it!

Is whatever momentum is being gained by leftist politicians going to have teh wind taken out of its sails by Trump being impeached should that happen.
Is the presence of an obvious ogre actually acting as an impetus, not just causing reaction to every policy mistake, but going deeper?

The current AHCA costs https://twitter.com/dylanmatt/status/86747975654724812818 billion more than the original, covers 1 million more. That's https://twitter.com/dylanmatt/status/86747975654724812818,000 per new person insured. Love it.

— Dylan Matthews (@dylanmatt) May 24, 2017

thought it covered way less??

new AHCA vs original ACHA not ACA

1m more than the previous version, I.e 23m will lose their insurance rather than 24m

I thought this was the more strict version for the Freedom caucus so surprised that number went down

excellent work, people

Ah, pivots.

Trump denied he supported National Front's Le Pen in France's election. "You were my guy'' he told Macron today, French officials say.

— Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) May 25, 2017

I hope Macron gave him the Gallic shrug to beat all Gallic shrugs.

quelle barbe!

Aw, pobrecito

Spicer fumed to colleagues after being excluded from meeting with Pope, admin official told CNN https://t.co/HjLPIxcwx4

— Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) May 25, 2017

I'm hoping so hard that the first question from the WH press corp upon Spicey's return is how it felt to not meet the Pope.

And then we'll see how much effort he puts into that day's spin cycle.

what if it was Francis who said "Let that Spicey cool his heels in the plaza"

i'm seeing on twitter that the pope has excommunicated spicer too

huge if true

oh come on
