US Politics February 2019: This is one of the great losers of all time.

:D

xyzzz isn't a euro btw

so Harry Reid said some things

ban euros from the us politics thread

― you know who deserves sitewide mod privileges? (m bison)

can we make this guy a mod already?

Harry Reid somehow managed to be wholly dismissive of Trump while still sounding mild-mannered and rather polite. That's a talent.

xpost sitewide mod imo

I'm waiting for m bison to finish his posters and hang them up in the school's front hallway so I can appreciate his lettering, artwork and the originality of his slogan, before I decide how I'm casting my vote. But if La Lechera throws her hat into the ring, she's a shoo-in.

no mods, no masters

This is the crux of what we do in regards to Rubio, yes. https://t.co/dHxPzKvHeV

I thought most sociopaths were boring, though

Glib charm is one of the diagnostic criteria.

gets it.

...and yet posts in it.

Paul Manafort, the longtime political consultant who once led Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, asked a federal judge for leniency Monday as he faces the potential of spending the rest of his life in prison in criminal cases stemming from the Russia investigation.

In a new court filing, Manafort’s attorneys painted the 69-year-old as a victim of circumstance, prosecuted by special counsel Robert Mueller only because the government could not make the case that he colluded with the Kremlin’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. They also dismissed the prosecutors’ characterization of Manafort as a hardened criminal, saying he was merely a wealthy consultant who committed “garden variety” crimes by illegally lobbying for Ukrainian interests and hiding millions from the IRS.

insert your own arrested development gif here

good morning!

who among us has not hidden millions from the irs, I ask you

absolutely disgraceful that mueller was allowed to prosecute manafort solely for his many and various garden-variety crimes, clear evidence of bias and malice from the square-jawed fbi veteran

if loving your country so much that you illegally lobby for ukrainian interests is a crime, well then, jury, i guess i'm guilty

So they just stopped reporting on the sexual assault suit filed against trump?

“it won’t matter to his supporters” blah blah but still. It’s creepy that he is held to a completely different standard to literally everyone else.

have we not talked about this

Senate Democrats just voted against legislation to prevent the killing of newborn infant children. The Democrat position on abortion is now so extreme that they don’t mind executing babies AFTER birth....

....This will be remembered as one of the most shocking votes in the history of Congress. If there is one thing we should all agree on, it’s protecting the lives of innocent babies.

presuming that's real (which, i mean, sure, why not?), i guess it took a bit more than two years of aggressive intellectual erosion for the president of the united states openly telling the world that the opposition party is in favor of killing babies to have no impact whatsoever on me or to the political landscape.
unsure if that's better memorialized by "ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED" or "I'll get my hat..."

If there's one thing we should all agree on, it's protecting the feewings of giant orange babies

he says they advocate for killing babies, his supporters say they actually eat babies

the man knows his base

smart to leave some wiggle room to not protect the lives of guilty babies

some of them, I assume, are good babies

good babies on both sides

Baby Hitler tho...

Would you eat Baby Hitler?

Baby Hitler...doo doo doo doo doo doo

lol

what actual ruling is he referring to?

Bill requiring doctors to save the lives of late term aborted babies.

what is the law on aborting 72 year old babies

the gop strategy for 2020 is to call dems the party of socialism, anti-semitism and infanticide. 2020 gonna be lit.

they already say all that anyway

They stopped, but a bunch of other people started instead

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/26/us/politics/michael-cohen-testimony.html

Mr. Trump and his allies have been preparing for days for Mr. Cohen’s testimony, which will take place over several hours while the president is in Vietnam for a summit meeting with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. The president’s aides have been anxious about the effect that the testimony might have on him.

everyone got their iodine tablets ready?

Oh sweet tapdancing jeebus not this again.

CF. "Mueller dropped a legal bombshell on the administration by filing court documents announcing a plea bargain with Trump’s confidant’s lawyer’s friend’s associate Gorpman, and Gorpman’s testimony could spell major trouble for Bleemer, which must be terrifying for Trump..."

I will wake up when/if there are consequences, thxbye

I kinda like how people are saying nothing has happened when people are, you know, in jail and/or pled guilty and all.

I get what you're saying but nobody really gives a shit what happens to Manafort, Cohen, Flynn, etc.

i don't think that article is referring to _legal_ effects on trump. it's saying it will make him more insane/distracted than usual during the meeting with NK.

I get what you're saying but nobody really gives a shit what happens to Manafort, Cohen, Flynn, etc.

I care.
