At the risk of stating the obvious, the July 2019 US Politics Thread is horse-sh*t

It is of course entirely possible that he's one those fake Irish Irish Americans that seem to proliferate in the USA.

xpost Also while simultaneously claiming to be a victim of racial discrimination. It's just wheels within wheels.

Omar. I took a terrorism class in college and every time my professor said Al Qaeda, he raised his shoulders," " You wouldn't do that if you say America or Britain, or the Army" She seemed so proud of Al Qaeda. Not so proud of America or of our Army. But Trumps a Racist.

LBJ DID IT AND DEMOCRATS LOVE HIM. Don Cheadle: ‘Trump Could Call Somebody N***er and Wouldn‘t Lose Voters‘ https://t.co/wM67uVkwHn via @BreitbartNews

they taught Terrorism classes when Chuck Woolery was in college?

lol Chuck Woolery (who I forgot even still existed,) Scott Baio, Victoria Jackson... I just figured out why they're Trump fans, he's going to bring the conservative entertainment industry back for them just like the coal mines.

James Woods and Jon Voight starring in...BRAINWORMS

hmmm I wonder why Democrats could look upon LBJ more favorably than Trump *cough* Civil Rights Act *cough*

Also it's not like LBJ is some unimpeachable figure that Democrats find completely unproblematic!

yep praise for LBJ is pretty limited in scope from what I've seen
xp

truly think it's difficult for them to grasp that liberals can have mixed feelings prominent liberals

^about

Also it was fifty years ago, and also the alternative to Johnson was freaking Goldwater.

vocabulary shocker for Texan born in 1908

the replies to Chuck's LBJ tweet making fun of Don Cheadle for being a celebrity with an opinion on politics, seemingly unaware that they are cosigning another celebrity's opinion on politics...

people are thicker than shit

"truly think it's difficult for them to grasp that liberals can have mixed feelings prominent liberals"

this is def true. Their main response to Trump/Epstein is "But Clinton". I don't know any liberals who are defending Clinton / Epstein.

well, LBJ was our last liberal president

Chuck Woolery is embroiled in controversy in 2019? I would not have thought that possible. Up next: Warner Wolf.

Glad Gene Rayburn isn’t around to see what’s become of Chuck Woolery.

so, according to DOJ policies, a sitting president can't be indicted

and according to Mueller's logic in his report, he can't recommend charging a sitting president for a crime, because doing so would be unfair to the president because they wouldn't have a chance to defend themselves in a court of law (because they can't be indicted). (99.959345204% of people in this dim country do not understand this)

and also, according to some rule of decorum in the house of representatives, no one can say that the president is racist, either directly or by citing others who have done so, or by pointing out that something the president said is literally the textbook definition of racism.

finally, trump is the most unfairly treated president in history

Think of how bad you'd have to be at politics to not have ads featuring this footage on loop from now until election day 2020 https://t.co/MXlpvNSFAT

calling someone racist is against the rules but being racist is not , welcome to America

also, racism is actually cool

I wonder if this means there will be more racism?

Bingo.

honestly the most useful thing tom steyer could do is pay for that

Well, this should be fun:

None of this ever ends up being fun.

I think we learned in '16 that laying out documentary evidence of DJT's odious acts is not, by itself, enough.

Of course not. But I'll take all the Schadenfreude I can get.

schadenfreude - the #1 ranked travel snack in the post-apocalyptic landscape!

"Send Her Back"

the best Stevie Nicks solo single imo

https://i.makeagif.com/media/5-17-2015/7xZom3.gif

Saw that one coming

There are no words

xxpost

That rally footage is creepy as fuck. Just go ahead and drape a KKK poster in the background. Fuck all of them

awwww David French is disgusted

Agree with Guy. “Send her back” is completely and totally unacceptable. It’s not a defense of Omar to say this is not how we treat American citizens. https://t.co/8bJXgWjMEC

that rally was awful

He's the perfect reprobate figurehead for all of the unprincipled american voters, and he has rallied them shockingly well. The new turn in this story, focusing on the democratic congresswomen, really makes me afraid he's going to win again

Eh, not necessarily. "Louder" and "more racist" aren't guarantees of victory.

I hope you are right Alfred, but it is starting to feel like it might be.

You think he'll win back the suburbanites whom he lost last November with this swill?

depends on who comes out to vote, that's everything. I really hope our side is more motivated next year

This sure motivates me, hope it does you

lol yes!

mother fuck these garbage people. going to redirect my monthly allotment for pol contributions to the four of them until the 2020 election. and when i have extra, it's going to Omar.

win or lose, this is scary business

trump will go away someday but all these turds who love him arent going anywhere, you cant just undo this by getting rid of him

that's what disturbs me. but...they've always been there. maybe when Trump goes away, they lose cohesion, access to power, and public boldness.

Of course he's going to win again, an electorally significant number of Americans wanted this kind of president, and he has met their expectations plus the economy numbers look good if you don't dig below the surface.
