I get that Morbz was being sarcastic - yes I just wanted to make the subtext into text, because ppl do seem to be fondly remembering Dubya right now and that is wrong

Dubya was always personable and he obviously had a hard time projecting the dangerous hardman image he was trying for during his warmongering speeches, because his default personality is easy-going and fun-seeking. He was a god awful president because his heart was full of unearned confidence and his head was full of half-truths and nonsense.

I'd settle for the corpse of Nate Dogg at this point.

I'm taking the hardline moral stance that all presidents are/were indefensible monsters.

(Did I do that right, guys?)

re the huge bump in fake trump followers today

I'm tracking *45's number right now. He is growing by around 100 bots a minute. He is massing a propaganda army.

For what purpose? Do people give a shit what his follower count is? If his team is generating a bunch of twitter bots to spread Trumpophilic stories, why would they all need to follow Trump?

Bias confession: This reporter’s heart is with Cruz and/or Paul, but the Republicans have a very deep bench of governors. America’s most recent experiment with electing a senator to the White House has now been exposed as a folly the nation was smart to suppress during the preceding four decades. The 2016 candidate will be a governor. Perry brought a new self to CPAC, and his idea-guy act proved a better vehicle to move the crowd than his previous instantiation as a big Texan in cowboy boots.

little did he realize the GOP would be taken over by an independent candidate masquerading as a republican!

Violet Jax (Violet Jynx), Tuesday, 30 May 2017 19:44 (six years ago) link

and his idea-guy act proved a better vehicle to move the crowd...

I honestly read this as idiot-guy. Perry's not the only one needin' glasses.

Rebecca Solnit: The Loneliness of Donald Trump (Literary Hub)

One way or another, he knows he has stepped off a cliff, pronounced himself king of the air, and is in freefall. Another dungheap awaits his landing; the dung is all his; when he plunges into it he will be, at last, a self-made man.

it's just locker room treason (Sanpaku), Tuesday, 30 May 2017 20:19 (six years ago) link

This is where the GOP is now, a politics finally stripped of all policy or ideological goals, driven totally by inchoate tribalistic rage and thirst for librul tears:

Why did I (since Cruz dropped out) and still do support President Trump?
Because fuck liberals.
We win, they lose.
Nothing else matters.

Blue Xs: positions without Trump nominations.
Red Xs: resignations

The bureaucracy at State is overloaded and working without guidance, with 2-3 layers of acting civil servants missing.

We shouldn't be surprised that this has brought people with little experience spinning in real time to the fore.
