US Politics, November 2019: These people are truly sick.

file this with the recent "president settles $2 million charity financial fraud" case under "very minor news in november 2019"

It's being reported that Trump has fired Lt. Col. Vindaman.

Lol add it to the list.

tbf a firing is always the final scene of the week's episode

have there been any reported instances of Trump firing anyone himself during this entire administration?

didn't he fire some general via twitter

Peter King is retiring, will not seek re-election in 2020. When the Republicans have lost Staten Island...

Just kidding. The Republicans will never lose Staten Island. They'll find some ex-ICE agent with an Iron Cross neck tattoo to run and he'll win in a landslide.

Lol

My mistake above; Peter King represents Long Island, not Staten Island. His successor will still be a knuckle-walking goon, of course.

Good morning!

where is piss-chugger Joey Saladino running? Staten Island?

Our country may burn to the ground, but at least we'll always have this moment.

someone seems... triggered

No triggered, no triggered. You're the triggered!

all because they cancelled the Q&A. amazing.

the current representative from staten island is democrat Max Rose.

Did someone say... Buttafuoco?

Peter King stood head & shoulders above everyone else

He’s been principled & never let others push him away from his principles

He’s fiercely loved America, Long Island, and his Irish heritage and left a lasting mark on all 3

I will miss him in Congress & value his friendship https://t.co/GSXizZ2c5D

holy shit Chuck

above everyone else

above...EVERYONE else?

he definitely believed he stood head and shoulders above migrants and refugees, that's for sure

Yeah when you advocate torture it's a good idea to be head and shoulders above the people you're torturing.

struggling to work out what leaving a lasting mark on his irish heritage means tbh

I wonder, when the party inevitably splits in two somewhere down the road, which side will get/want to keep calling themselves 'democrats'.

Peter King always struck me as a behind the scenes villain's hapless proxy mayor in a Batman movie.

Peter King is an Islamophobe who held McCarthyite hearings targeting American Muslims, said “there are too many mosques in this country” and blamed Eric Garner for his own death at the hands of police.

Good riddance. https://t.co/cYZOrnaK2M

She back

take notes Chuck

is politics local

Her timing is exquisite.

struggling to work out what leaving a lasting mark on his irish heritage means tbh

Being a big supporter of the IRA, I guess?

Making it harder for women to get birth control...is all i got

Also is Chuck aware that Peter isn't dead

Like he just retired, you don't gotta lick his balls with that faux bipartisan reverent tone thing u do

It's of the utmost importance that a public which only knows a politician on the basis of his shitty politics also be made aware of what an awesome golfer and Tex-Mex chef the representative in question is.

It's like going on the Yelp page for your brother-in-law's abysmally-rated plumbing company and regaling the haters with paeans to the dude's model car collection. IE, who the fuck cares.

“You can shoot me but you’ll have to kill us all. Something”

WTF was that??

That's next month's title sorted early

surprised that isn't a super deluxe remix

Hamlet: (parenthetically) Something.

That's very "fool me once ... won't get fooled again."

Did he mean like "Isn't that something?"

For anyone who cares about this stuff

Thread: The booing of Charlie Kirk, Don Jr, and Kimberly Guilfoyle by alt-right activists was the culmination of a month-long campaign that received no press attention.

xpost I think he meant like '(*squints in vain at word he either can't read or can't pronounce on the teleprompter*) Something.'

I assume Trump will shortly label this Trump-appointed Judge a "Never Trumper"
