US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

not to mention / in concert with generalized hopelessness over the future

tbf this has always been with us

yes, but given the steady decline of stable career paths / increase in precarious work, I'm going to go ahead and assume it's getting worse.

I predicted a Chelsea-Situation election awhile ago

but unemployment is at an all time low ! surely that is all that matters and everyone is happy,right ? xp

Yeah, they're trying that "unemployment is low!" line in Canada too and everyone under 35 knows it's horseshit.

"why don't you love your shitty job?"

Why is Pruitt such a mega-creepster? And otm above, how is he only 50?

climate change denial is a helluva drug

Stephen Miller will overtake him easy

A tiny problem.

NEW: NYT: A White House economic analysis of President Trump’s trade agenda has concluded that Mr. Trump’s tariffs will hurt economic growth in the United States, according to several people familiar with the research. https://t.co/Gpwa2liOM8

well, scrap that then!

By "that" do you mean the CEA, because there's no way he's abandoning this?

Everything. He's scrapping everything. Everything must go!

My own analysis of the White House economic analysis has concluded that 'a-doy'.

who knew macroeconimcs was so complicated

Rudy CAN fail.

Yikes. I asked @FLOTUS spokeswoman @StephGrisham45 about Giuliani saying that she believes her husband re Stormy Daniels. Response: “I don't believe Mrs. Trump has ever discussed her thoughts on anything with Mr. Giuliani.”

it would be really spooky if some of these for-profit prison owners just happened to donate to GOP candidates

Is that even legal

🤷‍♂️

Bit of an oddity.

So is the plan to shift immigrants from sub-minimum wage work to slave labor?

Yes. Yes it is.

Well this isn't all further complicated, is it.

(If he was just countersuing Avenatti and Daniels, that'd be one thing, but Cohen as well? No love lost.)

Oh well!

NYT headline is that San Francisco is a “liberal city pushed to the right by urban ills.”

The article consists of quotes from interviews with “members of the San Francisco Republican Party” who were gathered at “an upscale sushi restaurant” to watch election results. pic.twitter.com/4BU77c9dc1

lol

the SF mayor's race has turned out to be a ranked choice cliffhanger, first London Breed was winning, then when Jane Kim's 2nd place choices were counted Mark Leno pulled ahead, now it's almost a tie, with still many votes still to be registered. could be undecided for another week! no republican in sight

Yeah we’re just sitting back here. Such members of the GOP as around connive and fume but that’s mostly it.

the countdown to the next WITCH HUNT tweet begins... now

place your bets pls

I am heading for Canada and the G-7 for talks that will mostly center on the long time unfair trade practiced against the United States. From there I go to Singapore and talks with North Korea on Denuclearization. Won’t be talking about the Russian Witch Hunt Hoax for a while!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 8, 2018

mourning!

I love it when he leaves the country.

he doesn't

wait is it a false hunt for Russian witches, or are Russian witches faking a hunt, or are the Russians hoaxing a witch hunt? I thought the Witch Hunt was real?

BREAKING: President Trump says he may pardon deceased boxing great Muhammad Ali.

— The Associated Press (@AP) June 8, 2018

i can only assume this precedes trump's conversion to the nation of islam

pardoning dead boxers = his bridge to "my African Americans"

also, "famous people can't do anything wrong"

even better if they're dead, cuz they can't object

not the first time that trump has pushed the boundaries of consent iirc

he'll be posthumously making black people white soon
