The September 2019 US Politics Thread is great Great GREAT GR8

♫ Stream a little stream for me ♫

I was gonna go with "whenever I want pee tape, all I have to do is stream. stream stream stream. stre-ee-ee-am.

i'm sticking with streaming stream steam content, it's about the best i can do

had no idea a deepfake (probably) of this had already been made but had been wondering why one hadn't. this one is pretty convincing. I WANT TO BELIEVE

Wait, why are we confident it’s not real? The circumstantial evidence against it Ashely Feinberg notes isn’t full convincing, as she concedes herself

Could easily be a deepfake but it’s very convincing. They got the decor of the room correct

All that we see or stream. Is but a dream within a dream.

Pee Me
Feel Me
Touch Me
Heal Me

Urine my heart, urine my soul

#TreasonBarbie in that Ivanka tweet, LOL. Haven't seen that before.

Propriety suggests an imminent update, but I will enjoy and thank y'all for the dn inspiration while it lasts.

not sure “execute the guy who caught me” is the best counterprogramming to charges of abusing power but hey what do I know https://t.co/uo2dWLuPeF

calling for the execution of the whistleblower now

NEW: Trump rips the whistle-blower at a private meeting with UN staff: "They're almost a spy."

"Who gave the whistle-blower the information? Because that's close to a spy."https://t.co/8OLSxoRbzD

Trump: "You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? The spies and treason, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now."  https://t.co/8OLSxoRbzD

also I'm no legal expert but I think this is straight up intimidating a witness which is also illegal

Who blows the blowman

advocating for the murder of a US citizen. dank

so there is a recording of those remarks too lol

as usual, trump is uninformed about...himself

""Who gave the whistle-blower the information? Because that's close to a spy."

according to the whistleblower's statement, it wasn't one person who gave them information it was "more than half a dozen":

"Over the past four months, more than half a dozen U.S. officials have informed me of various facts related to this effort. The information provided herein was relayed to me in the course of official interagency business. It is routine for U.S. officials with responsibility for a particular regional or functional portfolio to share such information with one another in order to inform policymaking and analysis."

jeez, i wonder which is more likely, more than half a dozen "spies" at the highest levels of government trying to undermine trump, or a colossally corrupt president who freaked out more than 6 people to the extent that they (FINALLY) felt they had to do something about it

I guess he has no choice but to murder his staffers one by one

I would be okay with that tbh

start with Jared

slowly gouging out Giuliani's eyes with his tiny hands a la Bladerunner

finally down to the bloodlust

I heard a NYC talk radio goon say "Trump is the real whistleblower"

so you know what we must do

last act of Macbeth seems like a good outcome tbh

I do not believe trump wrote that document

sorry trump—no offense

Some people say there is a lot of debate over whether Shakespeare wrote everything or if some of his plays were written by Trump.

no no it's all part of the plan see

Who knew that the one shot on Fifth Avenue would be Jared?

Because of the part about "not losing any support" as a result

NYT interviewed residents of Scranton in today's paper; overall attitude of "Politics? I'm busy."

Rudy Giuliani was nearly shouting in my phone call with him. “It is impossible that the whistle-blower is a hero and I’m not. And I will be the hero! These morons—when this is over, I will be the hero,” he told me. https://t.co/nUCGBEdAD2

I had this conversation while in an Uber and when I hung up the driver was like, "Uh, everything ok?"

These are the normal thoughts and expressions of a normal person.

another perfect call

lmao

perfect calls, perfect spirals

was walking in the local cemetery over the weekend and found a big headstone for a firefighter who died in 9/11 with a HUGE Giuliani quote on the front and I was just thinking damn THAT didn't age well...

legit hard to say whether Rudy would have been a better/worse President than Trump

worse because a lot more people think he is some kind of hero

lol as he does too.. forgot about that phone call up there

it's hard to think of many possible presidents who would've been worse than trump but i think rudy is one of them

maybe a third term of Dubya

this is gonna happen at some point
