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

his father (me)

he really does think everyone is as dumb as him

him bragging about this is so fucking weird that I almost wonder if this is fake news

whoah I had no idea we were just 1 state away from ratifying the ERA

There's some question about whether the recent ratifications actually mean anything in terms of the amendment's passage. The original deadline for ratification passed decades ago. Arguably the amendment would have to be reintroduced, and all the states would have to vote again.

from the new NYT interview:

“I lost massive amounts of money doing this job,” he said. “This is not the money. This is one of the great losers of all time. You know, fortunately, I don’t need money. This is one of the great losers of all time. But they’ll say that somebody from some country stayed at a hotel. And I’ll say, ‘Yeah.’ But I lose, I mean, the numbers are incredible.”

Would be interesting to get him to define what he views as the role of President in depth and see how damning that was in itself. I thought it was supposed to be viewed as duty/responsibility much more than prestige.
Still don't get what exactly the long term politicians who slavishly follow him see in him. Does he exude pheromones or something? Comes across as a bumbling idiot from a distance.
Well hopefully when he goes he'll take a lot of them with him. Just hope there's going to be something left in his aftermath.

He’s like a primary school kid who gets elected class president for a month and thinks that means he. An order people to do things.

That Trump tweet is like the least unexpected thing ever. He cannot wait to point out a damning accusation which has been seemingly disproven. Because those things completely exonerate him of all wrongdoing dontchuknow.

good morning!

I'd be content with "Really sad!" as the subtitle to the February thread.

The great losers line is good too
