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

alas no one slapped Dumbshit first

Aren't the "lucky" Americans those whose mother's uterus just happened to be on US soil when they plopped out of them?

Maybe I smoke too much weed, but it just seems so bizarre to me to "thank" something as abstract as a nation. Who do I send the thankyou card to?

trigger warning: NYT homepage just put up "Trump's Electoral College Edge May Grow in 2020"

I support a coup if the popular loser wins again, no joke

does seem like at some point enough is enough

Yeah our side seems totally capable off overthrowing the government

First government overthrown via strongly-worded censure on the floor of the house.

Throw some tea in the sea, that worked last time.

Good thing the second amendment is still in effect, huh. Tyranny is being countered with firearms by common Americans as we speak.

The article clearly says it isn't saying Trump is a favorite to win in 2020 and that his polling is underwater in states totalling 310 EVs.

All Cohn was saying is the disparity between popular vote and EV could grow, which is possible even in a Trump loss. IE if he got McCain lebel popular vote yet somehow got 250 EVs

alas no one slapped Dumbshit first

propose that Morbs uses this nickname for every single politician so e don't have to spend any time guessing to whom he's referring

Yesterday’s Serwer piece summarizing this week and the 300 or so years preceding it is mandatory reading:

Just spoke to @KanyeWest about his friend A$AP Rocky’s incarceration. I will be calling the very talented Prime Minister of Sweden to see what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky. So many people would like to see this quickly resolved!

I thought of the retired cop who hangs out at my Starbucks, explaining each detail in the Mueller investigation for almost two years until April happened; he'd pinned more hopes on Mueller than Adam Schiff.

So, I come back from a week in the woods and I see that Infrastructure Week has been permanently shelved in favor of Overt Racism Week.

The Infrastructure IS Racism.

Too real.

the racism is coming from inside the house

is anyone still running that fucknut's cartoons?

Besides www.grrrgraphics.com, Ben’s work has been posted at:

Breitbart
InfoWars
Politico
Slate
ZeroHedge
The Federalist Papers

You can go check and tell us when each last ran him? (& whether Politico and Slate were just showing him to point out how bad and dumb he is)

I really wish the Democrats would stop looking to Mueller to lead the impeachment charge when they have more than enough ammo already at their disposal to begin proceedings. If it interferes with the election at this point, it's their leadership's own damn fault for being chickenshit.

but they are the Act Never party, DJP

Since when is shaking your finger at someone while making a very disappointed face not an action

*takes down an action item to consider this*

*looks down at action item with disappointment*

Time for lunch!

This whole thread is good

Wait, Dems are going to clear the decks on government funding and debt ceiling for the remainder of Trump's term, forfeiting all leverage, but set up a major crisis point for Republicans in the first summer of a potential Dem presidents' term? This seems like a very bad idea. https://t.co/dKwFKilPyT

Those blasted democrats are still acting as if funding the government were some kind of priority.

under any terms

the best government that corruption can buy:

A plan!

WATCH: President Trump says that he could win the 18-year Afghan War in 10 days, because he has plans that could wipe Afghanistan off the face of the Earth and kill 10,000,000 people, but "I don't want to go that route." pic.twitter.com/IftsRmBjpG

reassuring!

So Jane Meyer wrote a piece in which the Dem party establishment expresses its regret about forcing Al Franken's resignation. Meyer, one of our best political reporters, fucked this one up. This combination of profile and investigation makes the subject sympathetic, and I'm sorry but Franken had many allegations of sexual harassment. Gillibrand and the others were right to ask for his resignation. An investigation would've confirmed what we suspected.

dem leadership needs a complete overhaul, what a bunch of fuckin dorks

these sentient cumstains are more worried about congress being a pleasant workplace than a lever of power i swear to god

yup

i mean...do they WANT impeachment proceedings going on in summer/fall 2020? is the thinking that all republicans will be in lockstep against it, most democrats will be for it, therefore it'll obliterate all other issues (including pesky progressive initiatives supported by the squad + sanders/warren, if they're the nominee) and turn everything into a referendum on trump, and they see that as a situation that likely ends up with the democratic nominee winning, no matter who it is?

or are they just fuckin dorks?

dems need a reverse tea party...a yeet party if u will

That Franken piece is such a cropdusting.

i will never call myself a Democrat, but propose the AOC wing be called the Coffee Achievers

no
