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

Meanwhile he's back to pimping his own golf courses

The legendary Gary Player at Turnberry in Scotland! https://t.co/3oGoqWhhtA

Such a great player he's playing out of a bunker, nice example pic.

Not the combo of "bunker" and "Trump" I was anticipating.

lmao how are these guys in total control and yet still know absolutely nothing

STUNNING!

That so-called blue wave? More like a red tsunami... https://t.co/cIeI1II52U

Why are you sharing that

Like a white woman named Kayleigh RT’d Trump saying something profoundly dumb and put her own dumb on top of it - OK never mind I see how this is funny now

cuz chuds (and the President himself) thinking that a Democrat got primaried by a Republican is like, really funny to me

and she's not just any white woman, she was one of the people that CNN gave 4 hours of daily airtime in order to serve as a Trump mouthpiece

and continues to give airtime to...

ACLU on FB:

BREAKING: We just won a big victory in our fight to reunite families!

The judge ruled that the Trump administration must reunite separated families within 30 days, and children under 5 must be reunited with their parents within 14 days.

Up to TWO WEEKS apart for under-5s. I can't even process how bad that must be.

legal weed in oklahoma ✔️

Stupid people getting massive amounts of time on CNN is also 🤷‍♂️ though

All these mofos that still stay at his hotels and play at his golf courses can eat shit too.

i guess Fox & Friends didn't cover Ocasio-Cortez heavily

Tomorrow’s broadcast will be a helluva treat then

The judge ruled that the Trump administration must reunite separated families within 30 days, and children under 5 must be reunited with their parents within 14 days.

Or what?

Ocasio -Cortez will likely be my district's rep. Maybe I won't be moving to GA. Tears and hearts.

At least the good news from New York will soothe us before SCOTUS delivers its anti-public union opinion in a hour or so.

Guys

yes Lisa

Kayleigh McEnany knows what a primary is. She thinks left wins are good for the GOP. I think she’s wrong but let’s not fall into this trap of think they’re all dumb yokels again.

Many political journalists agree!

WIDGETVILLE, OH -- As his second cup of coffee cooled, Joe Sixpack grimaced. The Democratic Party that had elected "that socialist lady in Queens," he said, had left him behind. A lifelong Democrat, he now planned to join the Federalist Society.

— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) June 27, 2018

A lifelong Democrat, he suddenly hated immigrants, women and minorities, plus abortion, civil rights and unions.

"What has become of my party?" he asked, as he dusted his collection of Confederate memorabilia.

Waiting for Trump to gloatingly RT that.

i'm completely lost as to which of y'all are capable of discerning jokes anymore.

The likeminded comments on the Weigel thread are pretty funny. Some faves:

"This and the cancellation of Roseanne were really my last straws," Lesley Drummond, a blue collar Harrisburg Democrat said at a local Speedway."

"Time was, I voted against my party because of Nancy Pelosi. Then I voted against my party because of Hillary Clinton. This year I was ready to do it over Maxine Waters. But now I'm definitely against my party because this Bronx lady wants to send my kids to college. For free."

“I’ve been on the fence about Trump and concerned about his border policy’s heartbreaking family separation” said Brittney Soccermom of Wichita, “but when I heard some socialist lady in NYC wants healthcare for all, that’s where I draw the line.”

Along similar lines and in response to my question from yesterday, this was lifted directly from the front page of FT today:

At Harley's power-train plant in Wisconsin, support for the president seems unshaken by the prospect of job losses as the result of his tit-for-tat tariff war with rival economies. 'He wouldn't do it unless it needed to be done, he's a very smart businessman,' said one worker on a smoke break.

Classic. I think we're getting closer to figuring out what Trump voters think!

"His heart's in the right place, but he's new to this," says Stephanie McAllister, bouncing a sleepy infant cradled in her arms as she waits for a cup of coffee at the counter. "We should just give him some time." Still, not everything Trump says or does sits well with this suburban mom. "I really do wish he would tweet less," she says, furrowing her brow and absentmindedly patting her baby's back, coaxing out a disproportionate belch.

'think'

I mean, that's basically the mentality of a cult member. Dude's pointless actions directly threaten the viability of your job and you still give him a big thumbs up and a smile.

Give him time!

In his final words as President Trump sat on his chest and drew the knife to his throat, Sixpack confidently said, 'I'm sure this is all for a good reason, he's very sma...'

Trump should see how many of his hardcore supporters he can get to hand over their firstborn. I'm guessing a percentage somewhere in the 90s.

Kayleigh McEnany knows what a primary is. She thinks left wins are good for the GOP. I think she’s wrong but let’s not fall into this trap of think they’re all dumb yokels again

idk kind of sounds like that was a post-hoc rationalization especially given that Trump explicitly said that Crowley lost because he wasn't nice enough to Trump. yokels until proven non yokels

'He wouldn't do it unless it needed to be done, he's a very smart businessman who has been bankrupted several times,' said one worker on a smoke break.

I realize from this vantage point that that's probably a nonstarter with his supporters, many of whom have probably suffered bankruptcies that they weren't able to bounce back from. The fact that he did so several times over makes him very, very smart.

very surprised by this development because from what i've read our President already achieved world peace .

HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL, KNOWN AS GOODLATTE II, IN THEIR AFTERNOON VOTE TODAY, EVEN THOUGH THE DEMS WON’T LET IT PASS IN THE SENATE. PASSAGE WILL SHOW THAT WE WANT STRONG BORDERS & SECURITY WHILE THE DEMS WANT OPEN BORDERS = CRIME. WIN!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 27, 2018

CAPS LOCK HER UP

CRIME=WIN!

Are a lot of regular Americans so dickmatized by Trump because he's, like, the one famous person that they've gotten near? It's like fucking Teenbeat with these interviewees.

Not the Weigel satire but the piece on HD.

I see a lot of news sites talking about some Latina woman beating Crowley last night, this may be weird but she doesn't appear to have a name ?????

Her name is Ofcrowley.

(It was first used about Oprah.)

v v v proud of the organizers that made the ocasio-cortez win happen. crowley outraised her 10 to fucking 1 and they still beat his ass by double digits. that's a fucking ground game.

xpost, I should find that book. I think there is a lot of freedom in not being in awe of or being impressed by any celebrity. I can find their creations interesting or joyful, but that's it. I think the only time I have considered snapping taking a pic with someone was because Weird Al was in my building and my bf from hs loved him so much I thought she would get a kick out of it. But I had a large ice coffee in my hand and didn't want to put it down to deal with my phone.
