US Politics December 2018: ~very legal and very cool~

Remembering the murder of 4 US churchwomen in El Salvador, 12/2 1980. And what US officials said: UN Amb. Jean Kirkpatrick: “The nuns were not just nuns, [they] were also political activists on behalf of the Frente. We ought to be more clear-cut about this than we usually are.” pic.twitter.com/CCEWFmloKV

“I think that there are a lot of reasons people became Trump voters,” said Springsteen to the Sunday Times Magazine of London. “You had severe blows to working people in the 1970s and 1980s as all the steel mills shut down. Then you had an explosion of information technology. These are life-changing, upsetting occurrences.”

So far, a second term for Trump looks likely to Springsteen. “I don’t see anyone out there at the moment,” said Springsteen of the 2020 election. “The man who can beat Trump, or the woman who can beat Trump. You need someone who can speak some of the same language (as Trump) and the Democrats don’t have an obvious, effective presidential candidate.”

he's running

prefer him to Harris or Booker

still feel like Hillary was the one person Trump could've conceivably beaten, given her sky-high negatives and the fact that she's been a GOP villain for over two decades. and even then he still got 3 million less votes.

i'd take president springsteen tbh, if only to watch chris christie's reaction

Max Weinberg

feelin' extremely not guilty this morning

“Michael Cohen asks judge for no Prison Time.” You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term? He makes up stories to get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself, and get.....

....his wife and father-in-law (who has the money?) off Scott Free. He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence.

“I will never testify against Trump.” This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about “President Trump.” Nice to know that some people still have “guts!”

Bob Mueller (who is a much different man than people think) and his out of control band of Angry Democrats, don’t want the truth, they only want lies. The truth is very bad for their mission!

man this cohen guy sure is shady, good thing he kept his nose meticulously clean when working for me, famously law-abiding friend of the mob donald j trump

I like that he's now using quotes like on a restaurant menu board.

Nice to know that some people still have “guts!”

Try Our Pies They're "Great!"

I like the paranthesis where he admits that his yearlong demonization of Mueller has basically not worked. Lol.

xpost lol, was thinking that exact thing.

Isn't there a 'flop sweat' emoji that he can liberally sprinkle throughout his tweets? I mean, I guess it's redundant since it's right there in the words he's typing, but still.

also national deputy finance chairman of the RNC lol

putting "President Trump" in air quotes is pretty hilarious though

Didn't even notice that little Freudian slip.

does that mean Scott Free is the real president?

Lol @ president springsteen. He would probably crush trump.

if trump is scott free, that would explain how he keeps getting out of impossible situations

haha was just thinking of "Scott Free and the Angry Democrats" as a band name

Their hatefucking must be awesome.

best not to think about it

U.S. spent 716 Billion Dollars this year. Crazy.

pres otm

wonder who approved that budget

Rumors flying that Congress set to pass Israel Anti-Boycott Act - designed to punish/prevent differentiation b/w Israel & settlements by quashing free speech.

Likely will also move on Orwellian-named Anti-Semitism Awareness act.

This thread reviews the issues with both.

haven't Republicans done enough to raise awareness of anti-semitism this year?

Mueller filed an indictment just as the President left for https://t.co/8ZNrQ6X29a July he indicted the Russians who will never come here just before he left for Helsinki.Either could have been done earlier or later. Out of control!Supervision please?

lol, nice work internet

bhahahaha

Links is tweets hold the same weight in court as a sworn affidavit, right?

online rules

Pay attention to Wisconsin, where the gerrymandered legislative majority is doing its level best to claw away the power of the Democratic governor Wisconsinites just elected

TBF he's better at typing than me. I don't know how to that little degree symbol.

I was about to write something about "butt tweeting" but then I realized that it's Rudy Giuliani's butt we'd have been talking about. So I didn't?

i guess he doesn't delete tweets?

press and hold the zero to get the degrees symbol.

First rule of domination is to never apologize

No worries, the white supremacist organization that tweet was directed at knows exactly what it means.

We have covfefe.

this is one of the better US Politics thread titles, just wanna say

Double-LOL in here:

The exact moment when Canada's Prime Minister referred to President Trump as "Donald" in public - something he reportedly hates.

Then, his reaction. pic.twitter.com/ajg32OUyfu

The following post is really funny, too

has somebody veep'd that yet?

i think the most veep-able moment of his presidency so far came when he stranded the argentine president on the podium. i guess people have stopped veep-ing as his presidency has gotten less and less funny.

tfw your mind is too occupied with the work you and jfk jr are doing behind the scenes to expose a paedophile ring among the international elite to focus on signing your name properly

The follow up to that last tweet is even better:

There's more. There were three copies of the new NAFTA deal to sign. During the signing ceremony, President Trump appears to sign in the wrong place on one of them.

This is the exact moment everyone realized, individually with their reactions, including Prime Minister Trudeau. pic.twitter.com/Wd3CEtV73D

If you have to 'debate' Trump, you use the opportunity to just lay out your platform without ever directly acknowledging him or anything

Absolutely! Make use of all airtime to lay out your platform and not get into nonsense

Every poll showed Hilary winning the debates, iirc?
