US Politics January 2019: we are #ready to drop something much, much bigger

What is the name of this condition that, absent any solid supporting evidence, makes people think that someone is suddenly going to start behaving more virtuously than they've behaved for literally their entire adult life?

Getting born again

Magic UnderWall

because maybe
mitt was gonna be the way that'd save me

Mormon Mavericks should've been a sports team.

Mittens mostly objects to Yam's bad manners, like so many MSNBC watchers

Trump never rose to the level of Presidency. he says the quiet parts out loud. otherwise he ok and I still agree with 99% of his policies.

"Trump"

The Shutdown is only because of the 2020 Presidential Election. The Democrats know they can’t win based on all of the achievements of “Trump,” so they are going all out on the desperately needed Wall and Border Security - and Presidential Harassment. For them, strictly politics!

Someday, researchers at major universities will study Trump's punctuation tics like archeologists do bones.

oh wow he dropped the October surprise almost two years early oh damn how will we ever

xpost

you have to admit trump's good at this

I feel bad for him. He so desperately wants to toil in the arduous fields of governance but the dems just won't let him. He didn't become president just so he could lie around watching the tube and shoveling fistfuls of half-melted ice cream into his foodhole, people.

Nah

Xp

yes shakey, donald trump is v bad at twitter, the facts are clearly with you

Good at what, amping up his base? getting ratioed daily?

his 35% get sexually aroused even if a cat walks across his keyboard and clicks submit

I'm sure a percentage of ILX gets sexually aroused by cat walk on keyboard too.

*raises hand sheepishly*

Neanderthal yes both those things!

I did myself a favor and got permabanned from Twitter.

Hey Alfred, rrgrgrgrrijdddnfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

(wink)

there was some article on politico the other day (is it linked in this thread? idk) about how Trump has gotten *worse* at Twitter since becoming president. whatever that means. but yeah why does anyone care about it anymore, it's all just inconsequential noise

jfc stop with the "He's obv awful but you have to give him some credit on _____"

Hitler sure was good at speeches huh

Hitler was good at sweating and shouting

thought you wrote "Hillary"

Romney gets sworn in as senator; he is expected to get a seat on Senate Foreign Relations

do i even need to link to the @dril tweet?

dril also good at stoking his base on that website

Trump is dril, all is clear.

i wonder if the president gets to do whatever he wants in the betsy ross museum

I assume it's a kiddie seat

He's a Republican with a passport - it's a gimme.

"Did I do that?"

Great. Let's see daily followthrough on that.

that is the right language to use

Precisely the lazy thinking that characterizes Isaacson's books. https://t.co/lvr2ZOpdvx

every time I see Zinke I'm reminded of this dude from idiocracy

Can "kind" just be removed from the lexicon, all it means was he says nice things to affluent wite ppl

derply moral

she breaks their brains

Republicans have stayed quiet as Democrats casts votes for @NancyPelosi but some decided to boo as @AOC voted for her.

— Lindsey McPherson (@lindsemcpherson) January 3, 2019

re Romney the republicans really have pretty much every flavor of marvel villain covered

- greedbag bully with his name in gold letters on a tower who thinks he's charming
- corporate raider with shark-like smile who runs "bain capital"

actually they all kind of fit into those categories

unfortunately for us all, the first one of those is marvel's flagship *hero*

and the latter are always so boring that people forget to keep hating them by the time they leave the theater. so we're doomed.
