US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.

do we really need a primary thread, a politics thread, and an impeach trump thread??

a game, a grind, and a prayer

Anyway would be much easier to wrangle if we could get that ILP board!

also would facilitate bulk ignoring

do we really need a primary thread, a politics thread, and an impeach trump thread?? fuck

It's kind of a mess right now, and let's not forget the Bernie and Biden threads!

F: Impeach Trump Y/N
M: US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.
K: 2020 Democratic presidential primary

tbf, this is such a shitshow I'm surprised there aren't more threads. I mean, there are probably over 100 Led Zeppelin threads, and this is the Led Zeppelin of shitshows.

Ignoring something you're not interested in is actually pretty easy. Like, you see a thread about it and... don't read it. Doesn't seem that tough; maybe I am missing something.

i'm interested in all of it, that's the whole thing

Trump: "African Americans built this nation. You built this nation. You know, you're just starting to get real credit for that. I don't know if you know that. You're just starting to get - you built the nation. We all built it. But you were such a massive part of it."

So glad the stillborn baby at the end of Threads grew up to be President

I totally read that quote in Leslie Neilsons voice.

So the President just signed an executive order, “Protecting Medicare from Socialist Destruction.”

The President just signed another executive order, “Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To.”

I don't get why anyone pays attention to this chump. Does he have any accomplishments whatsoever other than being a ridiculous troll?

I’m just in awe that this dude was actually in the military

Submitted Wohling to Urban dictionary

good morning!

So it looks like...October 24th is when the wheels of justice finally start rolling over this clown? Cool, 'bout time.

President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani told Fox News on Friday that his mission is to “disrupt the world” while defending his interactions with Ukrainian officials. “My mission is to disrupt the world,” Giuliani said when asked by Fox News host Martha MacCallum what his personal goal is as the president’s personal lawyer.

I AM AN ANARCHIIIIIIST

President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani

sorry i just died a little reading this phrase

Why so delerious

jacob wohl + co are the greatest comedy act going right now

I’m just in awe that this dude was actually in the military

Everybody that works at the CBP is disgusting

I had an irrational fear when I left the country for my month long business trip that I wouldn't be able to get back in for some bullshit Orwellian reason. Realizing while that's a stupid pie in the sky thing to happen to me, other people are legit dealing with that reality

lol have you ever met a marine

I think the awe was that Wohl actually bothered to find a marine, even if it’s one who was in high school at the time he claimed to have been deployed in Afghanistan.

Considering that their security guard is a short man with a single Apple earbud in place of an earpiece, and that the sex marine press conference came 24 hours after Wohl & Burkman’s press conference outing the treacherous whistleblower

The sex marine reportedly also came

Whomp whomp

SCOOP: Trump told House Republicans he made his now infamous phone call to Ukrainian president at the urging of Energy Secretary Rick Perry — a call Trump claimed he didn’t even want to make.https://t.co/sEgKDFzmb1

*tentatively reaches for popcorn*

The great (in a "it sure feels great to bash my head against this cinder block wall, I think I'll keep doing it till next November" sort of way) thing about each successive lie is that he doesn't even try to establish the slightest bit of linearity or logic. He's almost literally just flinging shit around his cage.

the phone call is fake news it was the most perfect phone call ever no quid pro quo the whistleblower is a deep state plant it was hearsay they changed the form it’s my obligation to go after corruption rick perry made me do it

Rick perry leaving was independent of this at least supposedly wasn't it?
Was he attempting to escape cos he realised his cushy role was sinking?
& now he's been dragged back in, are we expecting a greater swathe of resignations from the more minor players over the next few weeks?

He got a call moments before the announcement that said "Resign, now" that was supposed to be an intimidating call from an anonymous source but Giuliani forgot to hit the button on the voice modulator

Rick perry leaving was independent of this at least supposedly wasn't it?

Totally sensible role for someone tasked with administering U.S. nuclear weapons, nuclear energy, and next-generation energy research.

natural gas tho

wondering if it's where all of this is going

Shorter Ron Johnson:

It's tight, but Fox News says Trump is underwater in Wisconsin - all three major Democratic candidates beat him. He won 46% of the vote in 2016 but is currently at 41%.

Here's a non-Fox poll of white folks in Wisconsin from late August.

It's interesting watching and hearing all the bad news for Trump develop even with Congress on recess. When do they come back?

https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-sen-ron-johnson-loses-it-on-meet-the-press-i-do-not-trust-the-fbi-or-cia?ref=home

this is just so fucking dispiriting

I watched a few minutes of it; I've seen cockroaches with greater command of English than Ron Johnson. How awful must you be for Chuck Fucking Todd to lose patience.

srsly

Sen. Johnson: 'NO! I WANNA HOLLER THE LOUD FUNNY WORDS! I LIKE DARREN, HE IS MY FRIEND! I LIKE YOU AND HIM! HE LIKES ME AND I LIKE HIM! HE LIKES YOU, I HOPE! I LIKE HIS AUTOGRAPH! IT IS A NICE PICTURE! HE IS NICE!'

Not dispiriting to me. The more GOP Senators that want to lose their mind on camera and show their asses for what they really are, so be it.

Better than then one of them stumbling into the bullshit "maverick", "moderate" role that McCain vacated and winning over influencing low info indie voters as some voice of reason.

Now he can be an Infowars bitch.

If this were house member I'd feel differently, I don't see a silver lining in a sitting US Senator legitimizing this bullshit and fomenting paranoia that every single aspect of the government is illegitimate except for the WH
