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

Democrats/opposition suck dick at that kind of psychological marketing research. That shit works. They're in the stone age with that stuff.

Hi larry

I ain't no larry, this comes from experience working on successful campaigns involving Trump simpaticants. Cuz I'm a conflicted, mercenary fuck.

Heed my words, baby.

Christ, here we go again.

Here we go again with what? Bringing hard won goodies to you people? Bah!

I'll just disappear into the shadows like I know I should, and stick to the Erotic Thriller's thread.

"I don't want to rip families apart. I don't want to be sending parents away from children. I don't want to see the deportation force that Donald has talked about in action in our country."

That shit works

It works if your only political goal is stuffing as much money into the pockets of yourself and your cronies as you can while spewing out a steady stream of incoherent nonsense and reducing government to a shambles. Because all it can do is distract easily distracted people; it can never be the basis of a government by and for the people.

Hey America, do it like we do!

oh, and I'll try not to feed Mr. Appleton any further. he ain't nothing but a hound dog.

The prospect of taking $5.4 billion out of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security appears to to be sending Paul Ryan fully Two-Face.

bah, sorry for hueg

Also sorry for billion - it's 5.4 trillion of course.

Huh, it's not playing that well on Fox News either: http://thehill.com/homenews/media/393208-geraldo-rivera-to-hannity-when-did-we-become-the-party-of-child-abuse

They've had Geraldo serve as the one who goes against the party line on immigration in the past (his famous screaming match with O’Reilly). My understanding is the network is pretty much on board with defending the policy.

Yeah sure, perhaps I'm just naive that it would actually matter when someone says it's straight up child abuse.

Sandy Hook already proved they don't care about kids.

Ronald Reagan hating his kids proves they don't care about kids

Trump, thinking he sees a KFC extra crispy thigh instead of a child.

WOW

I might actually have to buy Time magazine

Trump will love that cover because he will see nothing but his own picture.

probably the most covers ever

"do I look thin and handsome" xp

Could just see the outraged masses buying Time to get the story behind the cover and trump taking it all to heart as the distribution numbers must be a positive since it had his face on the cover.

oh fucking spare me this ignorant sanctimony

4real

apparently 1600 ICE employees got doxed today

bout to see some real interesting social media posts soon I think

She didn't want to send parents away from children she just wanted to be sure kids got shipped back to Honduras to risk death at the hands of the death squads she helped bring back to the country, foh xp

the archive.is link I posted earlier still works FYI xp

xp

Well, the good news is she lost, so we don't need to worry about that scenario. These people are safe and sound in US detention facilities, no doubt getting the best treatment possible, kind of like summer camp.

Moodles one of my closest friends was just held in a detention center for 3 months so don't fucking talk to me like I don't know what I'm talking about

and so the PR kicks in :

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/21/melania-trump-family-child-separation-detention-centre-visit-surprise

I'm from McAllen Texas. I grew up with shoeless undocumented kids with dirt floors. Don't you dare fucking smarm me over this. xp

Ok, I don't doubt your sincerity, but is it possible for once to resist the urge to let all the rubes on here know that Hillary was just as bad, if not worse?

no

I agree with President Donald Trump Moodles, relitigating Hillary Clinton's record seems like a real constructive project at this particular juncture, let's dig in.

"for once" mm you're right, this is absolutely my consistent posting style xp

i'm droppin it, i'm over it

Presidential debates are all ignorant sanctimony and no substance, no one here would disagree. I would be more interested in hearing about McAllen and your friend who got detained for 3 months.

Ok, fair is fair, I don't consider this your regular posting style, and I know you were away for a while. There have been a lot of threads over the past couple years that have devolved into some variation of this argument, and it's really enough.

xp

let me devolve for you, M

Immigrant rights groups must take full advantage of liberals' raucous disgust with Trump's deportations before the next Dem president is elected and liberals go back to sleep.

hoos is actually one of the few itt that actually gets out there and does activist shit (unlike myself)

Morbs, if this keeps people focused and sparks further change, I think that's great. I've already stated that I'm worried that yesterday's EO is going to lead to diminished attention.

If someday, Democrats find themselves back in power, then by all means, hold their feet to the fire. I just don't see any real benefit to the endless rub-ins for depressed Clinton supporters at this particular point in time.

ums, that's absolutely true

When I get aggro, I call my mother to yell at her about the whole family voting Trump. Yesterday was a bad day so of course I called her. She brought up Hillary. I was like "HOW DARE YOU"! My poor immigrant mother. I should send her a new purse.

Make a donation in her name tbh

When I was considering trolling my family on our last holiday together immediately after the election I almost made a donation to BLM in my dad's name. But thought he might have a stroke.

would have been a stroke of genius imo
