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

The best we can hope for is they'll turn his back on him after he disappears from the public sphere, as they did with GWB. They had their authoritarian father/messiah figure for 4-5 years, and then they'll turn to the next useful idiot that speaks their language.

I feel like GWB was more a puppet of the GOP culture at the time, whereas Trump has remade the GOP in his own image, and they're only along for the ride because they're afraid of jumping out of the car at 90 mph

more failed attempts by Trump to win Congressional and Gubernatorial elections are needed for the GOP to say "Fuck it, we don't need this guy" and stop worrying about pissing him off.

Since there won't be another general election until November 2020, there aren't likely to be opportunities for the GOP to lose any congressional seats or governorships until then, at which time it makes more sense to work for turning Trump out of office than waiting for the GOP to turn on him.

precisely

really wanna know what goatse.cx type photograph Trump has of Lindsey Graham

you could ask them, but you may have to wait a while for an answer

it makes more sense to work for turning Trump out of office than waiting for the GOP to turn on him.

Always. I have a sneaking suspicion we're probably not going to like the guy they ultimately/eventually decide is a better bet than Trump

Really think that a widely disseminated 'Trump is Dead' conspiracy theory stands a good chance of stopping large numbers of chuds from voting for him.

trump is dead man miss him miss him

Isn't this the plot of the movie Dave

First lady not recognizing the switch definitely most plausible detail of that film

let's make it more a weekend at Bernie's amirite

Gonna go long on Weekend at Bernie's jokes

The one thing this leaves out is the fact that the people who are likely to think he is dead will also simultaneously think he is alive, and have no contradiction or dissonance between these two thoughts. Contradictory 'underlying' truths can coexist where tangible truths cannot.

Yeah, maybe I should rephrase and say it's the *best* chance of getting some of his base to peel off. Like, I'm sure it'd be easy to get about two thirds of Trump's voters to believe that he's dead and being impersonated by a Soros-deep-state crisis actor, but most of that 40% would still vote for him anyway lol

Most of that two-thirds, rather

Yeah i revised my estimate upwards after thinking about it for a couple seconds lol

schrodinger's chud

Whatever, Fake Trump better than Crooked Hillary Substitute! Better dead than red!

damn, just heard that Trump died. that sucks y'all RIP

lol @ bizarro gazzara

I didn’t always agree with him, but you have to admit, he was “larger than life,” in the manner of a hurricane or plague. RIP Big D.

I half-suspect there is a planned Epic Troll Move to nominate Nikki Haley, Elyse Stefanik, or Sarah Palin just to trigger libs by nabbing the "first woman presidetn" title away from progressive feminists.

The impostor that we now call "Paul McCartney" says he isn't busy and is willing to wear a ridiculous wig.

turn me on dead maga

House of Representatives is now investigating whether Trump lied to special counsel Robert Mueller in written answers he provided in the Russia investigation, the House's general counsel told the DC circuit Court of Appeals Monday.

Answer: yes, he did get his dick stuck in the 7-11 hot dog warmer. Again.

He said his favorite book was The Giving Tree

In reality, it's he can't read

you can do it like this and walk away:

"A few months ago, I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not."

Easy. Peasy. With a bunch complicit assholes and ride-or-die marks.

well, ronnies wasnt sworn i guess

thread title apparently was an omen

I'm probably not the right one to complain, given my slipshod editing and poor writing on ilx, but I just rolled my eyes at this opening paragraph in an email message from a local candidate.

Long before I became a candidate for the U.S. Senate, I was a teacher -- for ten years actually. The education of our youth is so unbelievably important to me, and it breaks my heart when our kids are robbed of any opportunity to learn and reach their full potential.

At the level of an associate vice president of student affairs, say.

for ten years actually!

Years Actually

coming soon, starring Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Kiera Knightley, Alan Rickman

because Jim Broadbent and Michael Caine were busy

Nothing says "U.S. Senator" like writing at the level of a slightly above average sixteen year old.

The mayor of Muncie, Indiana, was arrested by the FBI in a corruption probe

Witch hunt! Deep state is outta control!! FBI is full of Dem lovers Never Tylers!

i read worse writing every day in the form of press releases from galleries.

ABC/Ipsos poll:

70% of Americans believe Trump did something wrong

57% want him impeached

51% want him impeached *and* removed from office

21% made that decision this after last weeks hearings

Those are some terrible numbers for Trump after just one week of public hearings.

A White House official tells me this morning’s Fed meeting took place in the White House residence - the president’s personal quarters- not in the West Wing, where the Oval Office is. I am told the president has not yet been in the West Wing today.

— Eamon Javers (@EamonJavers) November 18, 2019

Well, duh. They need to transfer him to one of those hospital beds with wheels first.

57% is a pretty eye-popping stat

xps

Also: "21% made that decision this after last weeks hearings."

how is that possible considering the hearings have historically low levels of pizazz
