US Politics, November 2018: "There is no blame. There is no anything."

If I'm able reduce y'all's pre-election jitters even a fraction of a percentage by chasing everyone out of this thread with my shitposting, I'm willing to take that bullet.

I wonder if we'll ever get any less good at fucking over the native inhabitants of this country/continent.

if you want to post photos of fecal matter, you can't improve on that judge's decision.

lol don't encourage him!

jeez, that Hovland decision. (nominated and confirmed by GWB, btw)

he decides that it's too close to the election to make any changes, because making changes "on the eve of an election will create as much confusion as it will alleviate, and is foreclosed by precedent which is hesitant to permit 'eleventh-hour changes to election laws.'"

i could see the argument that NEWLY requiring a street address to vote, on the eve of an election, would create confusion. however, LIFTING the requirement just makes it easier to vote. it doesn't cause confusion. the worst it does is piss off someone who was making a bunch of phone calls to try to get a street address at the last moment, or make someone who brought proof of their street address to the voting booth say "i guess i didn't need this street address. oh well."

it's aaaalmost like they just don't want some people to vote

You're assuming they view them as people.

Whodathunk we'd need a Native American suffrage movement in twenty-motherfuckin-eighteen.

i... would've?

when is the last time that trump pinned a tweet? he doesn't typically do so, right?

i ask because he has pinned his racist nu-willie horton ad to the top of his timeline

Donald Trump said Thursday that if any member of the migrant caravan making its way toward the United States border throws stones or rocks at U.S. military personnel they would “consider it a firearm” and license to use lethal force in response.

"I hope there won't be that, but I will tell you this—anybody throwing rocks... we will consider that a firearm, because there's not much difference,”

oh it's going to be really great when our military is murdering people on our southern border

i absolutely see that coming

I am already seeing reports that the 'caravan fired on mexican authorities'. no idea if there is any truth to that or not (I only saw the headline on a conservative family member's FB); if untrue I'd think this was getting set up to pre-emptively set this as an expectation.

"camps for concentration of migrants" going up that trump says will house tens of thousands

no idea if there is any truth to that or not

oh come on, those ppl are not armed

I hear you but in rebuttal might I just say: Soros

no you may not

not that it matters, but it wouldn't surprise me if one person out of several thousand people is "armed" in some way, especially if that definition is distorted to include a knife or something.

the best possible outcome out of all this is that they arrive to the border weeks after the election, fox and trump have stopped talking about it, and trump tweets something taking credit for stopping the evil caravan and gets 46,000 likes

it would be great if they were indeed infected with smallpox but the only person they killed was Trump.

The mini-Trump trying to be Governor of PA seems to be losing bad (polls lol) and has double down on the whole caravan thing for his final ad push.

Trump's "Willie Horton" was released from custody by Joe Arpaio and re-entered US during Dubya's presidency.

doesn't matter, the Democrats made 'em do it

he also used an AR-15, which is a totally normal weapon that everyday americans should be allowed to use in self-defense, definitely not something to be banned

Good evening!

Goddamn what I would do for a democratic party that was as powerful and effective as the GOP claim they are xxp

*Wouldn't

good mourning!!

What did I miss while ilx was down? Tax returns surfaced yet?

Trump died.

He'd have to be alive first to do that.

We've updated to Trumpcode 2.0, which will autocorrect all of your posts if they contain any fake news.

I love Donold Tormp, he vary hansome and vary intllegient.

what a tragedy

“Now, we did have two maniacs stop a momentum that was incredible, because for seven days nobody talked about the elections,” Trump said. “It stopped a tremendous momentum.

OK who does he blame first next Wednesday? i think we have a winner

Goddamn what I would do for a democratic party that was as powerful and effective as the GOP claim they are xxp

Party of inclusion, etc..

A broad church.

(Not sure if that phrase is used in US politics tbh)

do the US have "melts" as well? idk.

mmm patty melts

toasted rye bread and burger w/ Swiss cheese sounds much better than UK melts!

What a tax return!

lmao

This is outrageous. We've seen absolutely no proof that Roy Moore, Paul Manafort or Rob Porter are in the caravan. https://t.co/ctGQ3YKnZz

More WohLOLs

Jacob Wohl tweeted this photo of the ‘Mueller accuser’ (left), who failed to turn up to his press confidence. You can just stick it into Google Images to get her face, since that exact photo is old, already online and.. his girlfriend. pic.twitter.com/rYyauaWFiw

omfg this kid

You may recall that I predicted Wohl issuing a picture of himself as the accusing party. This is maybe only like .01% less stupid than the stupidest thing I could come up with.

i love this kid, what an entertainer

imagine ruining your life this much before you can even legally drink

He should just say he's been molested by Mueller.

it's amazing to attain Peak Asshole at such a tender age

all these teen maga chuds just make me think of this guy:

Twenty minutes, walking into my regional library and early voting location to pick up a copy of an Olivier bio, a well-chosen Cuban mulatto no older than 21 or 22 wearing a Vance Aloupis shirt asked if I'd voted.

"I hope you voted Republican."

"Sure didn't," I said.

"I thought you wanted bipartisan solutions. To make this country great."

"I don't. I want to be as partisan as possible."

His mouth fell open and he walked away. Clearly this wasn't in the scripted responses he expected.

It felt great. Life is made of small victories.

awesome
