US Politics, March 2018: Why do people leave the White House for good?

I've been to America but I've never been to me

the ocean is a desert

sent to drain

Despite Nunberg's rage, he is still just a new Carter Page

RiP KAC?

is there a thread for the school strikes?

Oklahoma is inching closer to joining West Virginia in a major teacher’s strike. I took a look at what’s going on. https://t.co/SsqCaVYdML pic.twitter.com/zyJkPBIRK7

Oklahoma City is in. "The Oklahoma City Public Schools Board of Education is in full support of our teachers and stands ready to take any steps necessary to improve conditions for our teachers – including a districtwide suspension of classes." https://t.co/AQDoDs8RvZ

sounds like the WV teachers are going to get their 5% -- and that the state will pay for it by cutting other things rather than raising taxes

I am fine with turning all of these guys into glue. I only feel bad for those who have to be around their noxious meat, stress farts.

Blair said the government will see a $20 million reduction in spending to come out of cuts to general services and Medicaid.

this is obviously peanuts but i'm curious to know what timeframe this is talking about

(from here - https://edition.cnn.com/2018/03/06/us/west-virginia-teachers-strike/index.html )

WV governor jim justice remains, of course, worth $1.6 billion

gah that response reminds me of that episode of ER where there was a violent incident by a patient and they wouldn't put in metal detectors so the one rebel boss had them put in so supervisor said "cool, we will keep the metal detectors, now you get to choose which two nurses we lay off to pay for it"

but of course nobody realistically expected taxes to be the way this was solved

Meanwhile

Roger Stone tells me he didn't ask for Sam Nunberg's protection, says he is "his own man."

Nunberg is playing Smithers to Roger's Mr. Burns.

It would be a start:

just spoke w @NunbergSam he told me he's fully cooperating now w Mueller's team and he's intending to go get treatment following his grand jury appearance on Friday

This strikes me as bad

EXCLUSIVE: Trump lawyer Michael Cohen received inside info from Russia probe, @woodruffbets and @attackerman report https://t.co/GuM5fLKP2W

Wonder how it got from the neutral and private GOP-led House to Trump's man on the outside? Hmm, it's a mystery!

the call is coming from inside the asylum!

Genuinely curious whether I'll live to see someone roll some primo ganj into our country's founding documents and enjoy a sweet toke of contempt for everything we once naively thought we stood for.

And more Cohen funnies!

Then of course

Trump says tariffs will be done in a "loving, loving way"

— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 6, 2018

Trump can go love himself, if you know what I mean.

Sam Nunberg is the last straw. I'm not learning anyone else's name from this administration. I only had to learn nine names for the whole Wu Tang Clan and they've been around since '93.

— Matt Fernandez (@FattMernandez) March 6, 2018

Trump referred to Sweden -- which, if it were a US state, would be the 3rd largest by land area and 7th largest by population -- as "small but sharp."

haha xp i kind of had the same reaction, "i'm not going to invest any more time learning about these assholes." call me when it's the turn for trump himself, pence, kush, or don jr

who's the scumbag sneak dissin cappadonna?

tbf Sweden is awful, and would only be half as big if it wasn't for their dishonorable behaviour in the Scania wars.

the SWE/DEN beef is one of earth's more localised and charming affairs

am I going to have to post that Kingdom gif again

sweden should annex denmark and call it swedenmark

it will be all the same to the rest of the world who can't discern any of their minute cultural differences

M@tt, he anticipated your response

Cappadonna was not an original member you vultures!!

— Matt Fernandez (@FattMernandez) March 6, 2018

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappadonna

Cappadonna (also known as Cappachino) was known to the future members of the Wu-Tang Clan, and had been U-God's mentor.[3] However, Cappadonna went to prison and was replaced in the group by Method Man.[4]

the plot thickens

yeah he's a fuckin idiot cappa was original, that's fuckin #facts

lex was right, ban comedy

SCOOP: Gary Cohn resigns https://t.co/x4zPzVN8iO

Gary Cohen out.

ha whoops

still doing mets broadcasts iirc

Ralph Kiner a name getting knocked around

“Gary has been my chief economic adviser and did a superb job in driving our agenda, helping to deliver historic tax cuts and reforms and unleashing the American economy once again,” Mr. Trump said in a statement to The New York Times. “He is a rare talent, and I thank him for his dedicated service to the American people.”

yes, he certainly has

which worked out for everyone since that was his job

Nazis, sure, but those tariffs, lemme tell ya.

hey you can't make a tough stand on everything

"If it's me and your granny on bongos, it's the executive branch."

(Gary Cohen the Simon Wolstencroft of this outfit imo)

Nazis, sure, but those tariffs, lemme tell ya.

Came here to quip almost exactly that.

this is probably a good time to remind everyone that cappadonna's verse on winter warz is probably the best wu rapping of all time

Supposedly Trump met with John Bolton at the White House today.
