US Politics, January 2020. Because we hate ourselves.

"what's a useless cumbubble?"

when the market for cum was driven to historic, very shortterm, elevated heights by the false expectation that no nut november would meet projected participation levels.

ok lol

John Roberts looked uncharacteristically nervous today in the Senate.

He's trying to calculate just how much humiliation he's willing to endure to provide cover for his friend Trump and the GOP.

Roberts is one of those fuckos dedicated to the GOP more than Trump. I can tell he loathes him because he has no reason to hide it, but he's a Reagan devotee, and this overcomes the loathing.

wondering if he will have any sway in the impeachment trial, I wish he would but am thinking probably not

Rehnquist only issued one ruling during the Clinton impeachment -- in the Democrats' favor! I wonder if Roberts will be so generous without wearing a Gilbert & Sullivan-inspired robe.

lol

I should point out: man, what a difference in looks and health between the Mad Men generation and Roberts'.

Lol at mid-century "comedians" being edgy in any way except for racism

Art Carney did a nightclub impression of FDR taking a shit

I prefer funny to edgy, also go fuck your favorite aunt

ok lol

i feel so lame that in my head i've configured a trump lackey cage match ladder (i dunno-- sondland, volker, pompeo, rudy, perry, barr, graham, mcconnell, jared, baron, mirelda, mara lago...) and i'm rooting for parnas so far, just on audio charisma. i don't believe believe a word, really, but i'm part of lev legion. i know upcoming facts will destroy my allegiance. lev lev lev

Dershowitz? This administration's situational unawareness continues to astound me.

Can someone please hip me to what dimension of chess this represents, please

They are rigging the election again against Bernie Sanders, just like last time, only even more obviously. They are bringing him out of so important Iowa in order that, as a Senator, he sit through the Impeachment Hoax Trial. Crazy Nancy thereby gives the strong edge to Sleepy...

Ken Starr also on the team?

alan dershowitz and kenneth starr - so weird that he would end up picking famous lawyers who we've all seen on tv!!

Saul Goodman not available

xp to OL
pretty basic setting your enemies against each other, no?

Definitely why he picked them! Truly the most transparent of administrations xxp

GOP is more of a Matlock demographic tbf.

though if we want to do the usual armchair psychoanalyzing, it makes sense to me that Sanders would appeal to trump on an instinctual interpersonal level compared to Warren and Biden

He tried to draw parallels between himself and Bernie back in '16 too.

The Sanders campaign, while being in service of a much more competent human being in practically every way imaginable, is also working the cult of personality angle so the affinity is unsurprising to me.

We gotta get Andy Griffith

i heard it's not about bernie sanders, it's about us

also working the cult of personality angle

might also be said of the last elected Democratic president, and most of his predecessors with the obvious exceptions like Poppy Bush

good news everyone, we caught the trump team in an irreconcilable contradiction! we got him! we got him!!!!

Congress tried to impeach both Nixon and Clinton for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. It’s very hard for Dershowitz to argue that neither one is an impeachable offense. https://t.co/LX2g27LgBI

Team Grifter also thinks he'd have the easiest time beating Bern; be careful what you wish for xp

might also be said of the last elected Democratic president, and most of his predecessors with the obvious exceptions like Poppy Bush

yeah, and?

yeah and he turned out to be a personality for sure

thats all im giving

(all Frauds in Chief depend on at least having a perceived good-nuff personality; hence Dukakis and Kerry...)

ah the "it's just low crimes and demeanors" defense

my military vet friends on fb are not happy about what that article is reporting

I remain eternally mystified by the fact that no one has ever beaten this man into a coma.

supposedly he also didn't know what pearl harbor was

“You would totally go bankrupt if you had to run your own business.”

Trump appears to be aware of some of the history, tweeting in 2016: "Does President Obama ever discuss the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor while he's in Japan? Thousands of American lives lost."

Does Shinzō Abe ever discuss the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki while he's in the U.S.?

sorry, i just What Abouted a trump tweet from 2016

He literally cannot imagine anyone functioning any differently that he did in a given situation.

'You would totally shit your pants four times a day if you had to be president.'

Trump unleashed his disdain, calling Afghanistan a “loser war.”

You know...
