One of the best things about Trump is that he has largely proven impotent when it comes to implementing his worst plans...https://t.co/uB5tvTkNU3

Omar's chances of reelection are 100%, except --

her chance of getting primaried is frankly not negligible

and, after today, her chance of getting assassinated is climbing! amazing country, healthy culture

goole, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 21:08 (four years ago) link

LOOOOOL am shocked that Target was allowed to open in Edina, tone officially low enough to concern Junior League moms.

Dayton's opened Southdale. That store's been there for 50 years.

Politico reports:

Delegates to the NAACP’s annual convention voted unanimously on Tuesday to support the impeachment of President Donald Trump, with the group’s president saying Trump is “unfit to serve this country.”

The push to come out against Trump was initiated by Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who has put forth several impeachment measures in the House.

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

Skip Spence None the Richer (sleeve), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 22:21 (four years ago) link

Why does Trump appeal to so many youngsters? How is it 'cool' (I'm old lol) to latch onto the trainwreck of this orange blob with diarrhea for brains? Don't they notice he can barely speak two coherent sentences? Why is it attractive at all to engage with this? Rebellion isn't what it used to be, is it? Did Reagan have such a big youth following? Was there a Nixon jugend? I just don't get why so many young people applaud this repulsive creature.

When you were raised in the wilderness by a white supremacist militia, it all seems very cool.

the youth writ large do not think donald is cool. this is a conservative white kid nihilist power fantasy dickhead thing.

(xp) Considering the whole 4chan/PUA/AlphaAF/cuck culture that prevails in certain corners of online youth culture, it's not hard to see how Trump is popular in certain channels.

I gave the commencement address at the Air Force Academy recently, and at Annapolis the year before. (Applause.) And they said, “Sir, would you like to shake the hands of all the cadets?” I said, “How many are there?” “One thousand one hundred.” I said, “Yeah, that sounds okay.” (Applause.) I say, “Do other Presidents do it?” “Yes, they do.” “Do all of them?” “Yeah, they do.”

What they didn’t say is they start and then they peter out and they go back. Because it’s — it’s tough. It was really hot. That sun was beaming down. And I’m just one hand. And some of these guys are great athletes. And some of the women — they had some women in the class that were — their hands were very strong, okay? (Laughter.) And they’re all shaking. And, you know, they’re a little nervous, maybe; they’re meeting the President. They’re shaking strongly and — “Sir.” But, you know, with shaking 1,100 hands and saluting. We’re saluting, shaking, turning, spinning. They’re coming at all different directions. (Laughter.) I felt like a great fighter pilot. (Laughter.)

still kind of absorbing the totality of the qanon stella person

it really sounded like she was reading phonetically off cue cards and I had to pause at “special education teacher”
