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

Like I have to deal with that shit all day every day in my place of work but I'll go ahead and say that it's 100% inexcusable for an elected official to not understand the workings of the body to which they've been elected.

Or, y'know, it used to be. Even just base-level sentience is optional these days.

he's just a man of the people, not some Fancy Schoolin' Boy

I'm not a scientist
I will not understand things
hastening calamities
and evils yet unknown

I'm not a lawyer
I'm not sure what the law is
seems like it is malleable
and no one else can cave like me

And I know what's right
but I can't indict
or I'll lose, the seat I just eked out
by a ruse
To just pretend I'm blind
Yeah, and just pretend I'm blind

:-/

100% inexcusable unless the very reason you were elected was not to understand

Diaper-spotting for Dan:

People are talking about Trump's protuberant diaper-driven frontbutt in this video, and deservedly so, but spare a minute for his steadfast refusal to let his wife anywhere near his giant golf umbrella. https://t.co/MtlEq4BjyL

Between Mulvaney saying the quiet parts out loud and McConnell's Washington Post op-ed, I predict a rage-tweetin' weekend.

mook, I don't even hate washed-up Auntie Hil as much as I do her 'husband' or Biden

maybe not even Bootyjudge

i know trump is vain but sometimes ppl have incontinence issues especially old ppl, it's not really much of an own to clown them for it

would agree w/r/t every other human being on the planet

i know trump is vain but sometimes ppl have incontinence issues especially old ppl, it's not really much of an own to clown them for it

I cite it here in the same context as a few months ago, not to make fun of the clown man for looking silly

"clowning" on ppl is often (usually?) done on topics the clownee is sensitve to, not the clowner

(I do agree that making fun of Trump's appearance has been fine for at least thirty years, in light of his extreme vanity and boasting)

no to mention his body/disability shaming

We can all agree that the umbrella stuff is still a dick move tho.

Pelosi and Impeachment - There have already been 3 Votes, and they’ve all failed miserably. Here’s why there may not be a fourth - 137 Democrats voted against on the last vote.” @JasonChaffetz @seanhannity Many of those voting in favor will be beaten in 2020!

he linked to a parody account of chaffetz with 253 followers. twice in a row, actually

What the hell is he talking about

hate to say it, but donald trump is Too Online

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/17/politics/democrats-voted-against-trump-impeachment-resolution/index.html

that is from july

yeah, that's what chaffetz was referring to with "137 Democrats voted against on the last vote.” (i think)

xps to neanderthal

Ahh got it.

Tulsi gets David Duke’s endorsement the same day she goes on Tucker Carlson’s show to attack Hillary Clinton.

Any more questions?

she's a nightmare, she should go away. I'm sure she's priming herself for a 3rd party run, but I don't see her pulling support away from the Dem nominee; her appeal seems to be almost 100% with the sorts of people who backed Ron Paul. Could be wrong though.

I kind of think Trump just has a large fupa.

my man is definitely diaped up.

my mom has bladder issues and started wearing one at a relatively young age, so i understand the inclination to not bring it up but...

i 1000% support bringing it up every moment of everyday until he just rage-fills it on live tv. i don't think any of the front runners should address it obv, but one of these no hope dead-enders should absolutely get on diaper duty now. every day he needs to be calling in to Fox & Friends and angrily denouncing these vicious and very unfair rumors until his heart stops.

On Fox, two-term GOP FL Rep Francis Rooney tells colleague Leland Vittert he will not seek re-election. Rooney spoke to a gaggle of reporters yesterday where he criticized the administration, Mulvaney & indicated he wasn’t sure if he would run again

h's not sure, but he guesses that if what he heard about impeachment is right, just in terms of the way it works, which is in the black box of "law" (see: Stalker, "the zone"), which cannot be fully comprehended, it could be bad for him, since everyone he knows is unsure as well

law is bad because sometimes stupid law people try to turn very good winning into bad losing

I probably asked this same question in 2016--it hasn't gone away: what is John Kasich after? Is he actually angling for another run in 2024?

should probably assume that everyone who runs for president would still want to be president until they die and will look for any way to swing it

Including HRC.

its like lord of the rings

myyy presssshhidency

Except you want Sauron to win

what is John Kasich after?

relevance outside of Ohio

Ahahahahahahahaha

....Therefore, based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020. We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately. Thank you!

Oh man, story of the day. So that McKay Coppins piece on Mitt Romney runs:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/10/mitt-romney-middle-impeachment-fight/600373/

In the middle of it, this paragraph:

“That’s kind of what he does,” Romney said with a shrug, and then got up to retrieve an iPad from his desk. He explained that he uses a secret Twitter account—“What do they call me, a lurker?”—to keep tabs on the political conversation. “I won’t give you the name of it,” he said, but “I’m following 668 people.” Swiping at his tablet, he recited some of the accounts he follows, including journalists, late-night comedians (“What’s his name, the big redhead from Boston?”), and athletes. Trump was not among them. “He tweets so much,” Romney said, comparing the president to one of his nieces who overshares on Instagram. “I love her, but it’s like, Ah, it’s too much.”

I shared that out and joked that Ashley Feinberg should be alerted.

She came through!
