US Politics, June 2020 — You have to dominate.

can someone confirm for me that I didn't hallucinate trump saying "we strive to deliver safe, beautiful, elegant justice"

I mean he also said "we're fighting for school choice, which really is the civil rights of all time in this country. Frankly school choice is the civil rights statement of the year."

He's like one of those cans that you turn over and it makes a moo-ing sound except every time he makes a moo-ing sound people for some reason pretend that it's any more complex or profound or meaningful or thought-out than a fucking moo.

He's more like one of those cow keychains you squeeze to make the poop come out:

they make a Trump one of those. some really annoying lady at the bar showed it to me once

in my experience calling a girl annoying is guy for "im gonna try and fuck that chick". its an instant break up in my book.

while that might normally be the case with me, this was someone who was yammering drunkenly at me for 15 minutes while I awaited for my friends to show up at the bar, and wouldn't stop showing me the Pooping Trump, as if it was the Ark of the Covenant or something.

canonical post xp

it does contain a high degree of accuracy

don't stop with the cops

With you on that, morbs, but right now let's see if we can chew and swallow the mouthful we've bitten off before taking on another big bite.

expecting midterm generational revolt against the Dem president in 2022

Lol there's not gonna be a 2022

If 2022 brings a large influx of Senators and Representatives willing to fight for a major restructuring of tax policy, health care policy, climate policy, military policy and foreign policy I will open the most expensive bottle of wine I've ever consumed in my life and drink to their health.

Can bet that come 2022 GOP strategy will be to try to blame the Dems for the mess the country's in rather than the nihilist who caused it.
Or worse case scenario will be them trying to excuse whatever this week's folly is from the 2nd termer but they do that already. He'll just feel so much more validated if he gets in again.

well, yeah

The name of EPIC-MRA's president is amazing too: https://ssl2002.webhosting.comcast.net/epic-mra/team.htm

It is absolutely incredible to me that Mnuchin is refusing to release Paycheck Protection details

I mean, a billion here, a billion there..... pretty soon you're talking about real money

He's on record as saying loan details are 'proprietary information'.

yeah but joe biden's emails

I just... who's the 'proprietor'??? (Apart from the American people obv!)

It's almost as if these jackasses think it's their money

Given the numbers of Congresspeople who dipped into PPP, I guess now it kind of is

The whole thing is disgusting - millionaires shovelling tax dollars into their own pockets in the middle of a pandemic!

Yep

Torches, pitchforks, etc.

yeah I didn't think I had the capacity to be surprised w/ these people anymore but this one might take the cake

how does anyone in this country read abt this, look at Steve Mnuchin's face, and think "yeah, that's okay with me"

much less 40%

Steve Mnuchin always looks to me like someone wearing some now-faceless person's ill-fitting face over his own face so I never look at his face and think 'yeah, that's okay with me'.

Steve Mnuchin and Nicholas Cage in Face/Off.

L to R: Steve Mnuchin, Nicholas Cage.

haaa xp when this guy, with that face, who is doing this, dropped into the mint to pose with sheets of money

there's no shortage of cartoon villains in this whole thing but he really knows how to dial it up

yet he may be the least evil and most capable of the Cabinet secretaries?

sounds like a poll

I think they're probably all as fully evil as the job allows

like if he was at EPA or something he'd be just as bad as whoever's there presently

i mean he's not whomever is gutting the department of the interior in that money is just a bunch of electrons being shuttled around by wires. low impact, high reward

Half a TRILLION and they don’t think they need to tell anyone where it went.

well, it's proprietary, you see

Might have been nice to have a presidential candidate running who’s against that sort of thing, right about now

Voice of America seems fucked

bolton: trump stupid

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/17/us/politics/bolton-book-trump-impeached.html

John R. Bolton, the former national security adviser, says in his new book that the House in its impeachment inquiry should have investigated President Trump not just for pressuring Ukraine to incriminate his domestic foes but for a variety of instances when he sought to intervene in law enforcement matters for political reasons.

wait, trump did even more impeachable things, beyond ukraine? a world stands together in shock

great job john fucking bolton, for being there and witnessing all that and not doing jack shit

But if he did, how could he sell his book or book those Sunday morning interviews?

testifying before the house gets us no closer to nuking iran, so why would john bolton bother

that's probably the first time i've listened to culture beat in two decades, so thanks for that

lol my pleasure
