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

Trump spelled Nunes wrong in a tweet the other day.

Actually just said by Donald Trump Jr: "I wish my name was Hunter Biden. I could go abroad and make millions off my father's presidency. I'd be a really rich guy" pic.twitter.com/9ohFDbwJn4

I dislike Trump obviously but merely seeing Jr.'s face (let alone listening to him!) gives me such a visceral reaction of disgust and rage.

Eric is even worse to gaze upon.

In light of the irony on display, we may be overlooking the implicit wish for his name to not be Donald Trump.

good morning!

morning, alfred. happy halloween. lovely day for impeachment

c'mon man, where are the taxes

It's amazing that after all that's happened, news keeps coming out showing it's all way more idiotic than I can possibly grasp

Why Lev Parnas gave his company the somewhat questionable name of Fraud Guarantee: It was in part to clean up his Google search results, ensuring that the word “fraud” and his own name would be paired in a positive light. https://t.co/uqo9rsvL2F

Guaranteed!

loooooooool

that cannot be real. i'm going home and going back to bed. WTF

this fucking guy jetsets around the world with famous assholes, what a world

ah if only Louis CK had named his production company Non-Consensual Masturbation

If only Madoff had named his company Not a Ponzi

Ummm...huh. Well.

I've said variations of the same dozens of times at this point, but I'm always genuinely surprised when brain geniuses of this caliber manage to make it well into adulthood without accidentally killing/crippling themselves in an astoundingly stupid way.

So, what negative brush will the ex-NSC adviser be painted with today?

listening to some of the speeches for the house vote on impeachment earlier this morning, i was struck by how often the republicans blurt out the truth, shielded only by a tone of voice that makes it seem ok to their own side.

eg, "this is not about fairness. this is about winning."

232-196

Press Secretary still calls it illegitimate.

Game recognize game

sure but Trump won the vote if you don't count the reps from Blue states

Indiana announced Thursday that it is suspending its Medicaid work requirements until a lawsuit challenging them is completed, the latest blow to a signature Trump administration health care policy.

Indiana’s state government cited a lawsuit filed against the work requirements in federal court last month, by the same advocates who have been successful in getting Medicaid work requirements struck down in other states.

“The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration announced today that it will temporarily suspend the reporting requirements of the Gateway to Work program due to a pending legal challenge,” the state agency said in a statement.

A federal district judge has already struck down Medicaid work requirements in Arkansas, Kentucky and New Hampshire. Those cases are now being appealed.

The Trump administration has approved Medicaid work requirements for the first time in the history of the program in states that have chosen to apply. The Trump administration argues the move helps lift people out of poverty by making sure they are working.

In 1978, Speier was shot five times as a congressional staffer trying to save people from the cult at Jonestown. She survived after being left for dead on airstrip for 22 hours. Speier almost never talks about the experience, so this is a real rebuke of Nunes. https://t.co/2dasNaH4DM

xpost to the things you were shockingly old thread

I never knew about this element of the Jonestown story until today, that's completely insane and fucked up

Speier is a complete badass, excellent representative, and one of the great arguments against term limits.

this caused me to look at the wiki list of congresspeople wounded or killed while in office, and let me say that the one all the way at the bottom made me laugh out loud.

McDonald was a passenger on board Korean Air Lines Flight 007 which was shot down over the Sea of Japan near Sakhalin island by Soviet interceptors on the orders of General Kornukov, Commander of Sokol Air Base.?

Oh lol Rand Paul

Ah, remember when people paid attention to her. (Seriously, she seems to have mostly disappeared?)

Ann bricking an attempted thundering dunk on “Cat Turd 2” is something you love to see pic.twitter.com/xXbC6XcEA9

she broke with trump and found herself on an ice floe, nattering at cat turd

Ann wrong on that one too lol

As I recall it, Coulter broke with Trump because he didn't build the border wall known as "Wall" (paid for by Mexico), didn't deport ten million undocumented immigrants, and didn't repeal the ACA (replacing it with much better, cheaper health care for everyone), along with many other crazy things she was counting on him to deliver because he said he would.

Uhhhh...

Idol worship of political leaders is big with Democrats. https://t.co/bVrusm4qu1

remember the GOP in Reagan's plane

Unconscious projection is big with republicans.

NEW, potentially BIG: State Department agrees to turn over Ukraine-related materials by 11/22.

Docs were sought by @weareoversight, which won court ruling last week.

Agreement includes all communications with @RudyGiuliani, all Biden-related records.https://t.co/MFbPQ8pfxM

that does seem big, would've assumed they would've dug in for a SC ruling/fight

I just received a leaked preview page, let me share it with u all

Days after Trump named him a cybersecurity adviser, Giuliani had to go to a San Francisco Apple store because he was locked out of his iPhone.

only the best people

i'm shocked that the guy who constantly buttdials reporters is maybe not the best pick to advise on cybersecurity. someone should look into this (probably someone who is completely unqualified to look into things like that)

tbf this is prima facie a good reason to break with Trump and should be widely encouraged, not mocked

this is prima facie a good reason to break with Trump and should be widely encouraged

Most of the voters who elected Trump on the basis of these absurd promises do not blame Trump for his failure to deliver them, for in their minds Trump's genius for accomplishing such huge things could only be stymied by a nefarious combination of obstinate Democrats, the Fake Media, and the Deep State. Therefore, he is blameless.
