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

Thanks to my loyal sponsors from @potcoin and my team at @Prince_Mrketing , I will be flying to Singapore for the historical Summit. I'll give whatever support is needed to my friends, @realDonaldTrump and Marshall Kim Jong Un. pic.twitter.com/QGPZ8nPrBE

Where does this go:

From the Editorial Board: Longtime columnist Charles Krauthammer says his cancer has returned and he has weeks to live https://t.co/9Bg6HonDae

the NRO or Shakey-writes-an-obit thread.

show of hands who's willing to mercifully push him down a staircase

Mercifully for us.

they often tell you not to fly after some surgeries due to air pressure changes but I think the risk itself is very low

not for kidney surgery though I don't think.

fwiw family member is about to have surgery related to liver and dr says "no international travel for 3 months, US for 6-8 weeks. I should be fine after 4-6 weeks but probably the first month I'm mostly at home doing nothing"

As for Krauthammer, "the evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with the bones" pretty well sums it up for me.

Waiting for him to pardon Stagger Lee next.

please also note that there has not been a conviction standing against Ali since 1971, and all draft evaders were pardoned in 1977. apart from the dumb, obvious racial optics, dude is establishing that the president CAN pardon someone even when they haven't done anything wrong.

if the Dems get beaten to the punch on this then they deserve to lose everything from now until forever

ok

That’s just another “fuck you” to Jeff Sessions

I would say thats as believable as his gun control proposals

yeah the motherfucker sure says a lot of things, what a thing-sayer

sorry dems!

right but none of the POC who are in jail for w33d related crimes will be pardoned so JS can still hsve his way also some billionaire probably wants to open a weed farm in NoVA

The Jack Johnson and possible Ali pardons are so bizarre, I never would have guessed his involvement with boxing got to the level of actually knowing the name of any boxers.

He should pardon DB Cooper and the real killers of JFK just to see if they come out of hiding

trump brand hash oils

Ibongka

btw I know he's incredibly unlikely to do anything because he answers "we're considering that...we'll see..." to literally everything but it's all about ~*messaging*~ at this point, just think of how difficult it was to kill off that "most pro LGBTQ president ever" thing

BREAKING Paul Manafort charged with additional counts of witness tampering and obstruction of justice, that is intimidation or force against a witness. Earlier: https://t.co/1ZFYv58Clq pic.twitter.com/SU6U50mZy7

Can we all please start chanting "Lock him up!"? Or would that be too derivative and lowbrow?

my god wont you please think of the decorum

The Left Can't Scream

so Manafort just got indicted for the 37th time

Putin must be laughing his ass off at how this is all playing out

In Russia ass laughs YOU off

c'mon, Shakes, we waited for you to say something about Kraut.

irl lol shakey

The expanded full quote is just ...

“I have been Russia’s worst nightmare,” Trump said. “If Hillary got in I think Putin is probably going ‘man I wish Hillary won,’ because you see what I do. But, with that being said, Russia should be in this meeting. Why are we having a meeting without Russia being in the meeting?”

The president added: “It may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run. And in the G7, which used to be the G8, they threw Russia out. They should let Russia come back in. Because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.”

My feelings about krauthammer are well established, I would hope

we have a world to run

out of the mouths of babes

Man, my Twitter followers are having an absolute field day about that Krauthammer guy dying of cancer. Jesus fucking Christ.

Fuck him. War criminal imo.

He is not someone I'll mourn. Just stopping there because cackling with glee is nagl

Interesting point being made that of all the charges against Manafort, working as an unregistered foreign agent is the least of them, and least likely to lead to jail time. So why witness tamper for the sake of trying to weaken that charge? He's ended up in a far worse place. Which implies that maybe there is more there than we know.

Interesting point being made that of all the charges against Manafort, working as an unregistered foreign agent not colluding! NO COLLUSION! is the least of them, and least likely to lead to jail time being very unfairly treated. So why witness tamper for the sake of trying to weaken that charge? He's ended up in a far worse place. Which implies that maybe there is more there than we know WITCH HUNT!

He sets the terms of the G7, he sets the terms of what the press focuses on more than media wants to realize, he sets the terms of engagement over and over. All while arguing he is a victim of seen and unseen forces. https://t.co/KLofoRsAPh

so sick of her bullshit! you're part of the god damn problem Maggie

ugh yeah

It's like colonel sanders tweeting about how horrible the fast food industry is for making people fat. Fucking infuriating

I love that maggie well do a heinous tweet, get super fucking defensive and get in the mud with people in her menchies, then use 'im bad at twitter' as an excuse.. maybe stop fucking posting then?

that is otm

So why witness tamper for the sake of trying to weaken that charge

Maybe because he's an entitled jackass who thinks he's above the law no matter what he does - and has plenty of evidence to back up that belief - but ultimately at heart like all these people he's a fucking moron? Occam's Razor plz

otm. he sees a Justice Dept. special counsel investigation as just another system he can game his way past, like he always has before.

Man, there is so much greasy money rolling around in US politics with those 501 groups, Those groups don't have to say who gave them the money, it could be from literally anywhere and from anyone, Manifort is just one fish in a big oily sea. It is pretty much legalized institutional graft.

Beyond whatever happened with Russia, that is just one part of the sludge pile. And both parties and their partisans are deep in that muck.

used to work in the office next to krauthammer’s. fuck him tbh
