US Politics, November 2019: These people are truly sick.

should also be noted that the subset "House Republicans open to voting for impeachment" is probably like 5 people

Ah yes of course

Revealed: Trump wanted to build a mega-church. His spiritual advisor and friend, @Paula_White, told me it was "dream" of @realDonaldTrump -- and they still might do it! https://t.co/6LOgcnMzSe pic.twitter.com/O7XzQXqYF0

Finding Trump Over Trials

I'd think it would be difficult to believe in a god who takes such a light touch with the living, breathing embodiment of blasphemy.

their god is money

head like a hole

Bullshit, maybe they'll get like two votes. The GOP is bat shit.

i don't think they'll even get 2 (unless you count that independent libertarian guy). they'll get will hurd and that's it.

Amash will vote for it

of course he's no longer GOP, as you note

I have little doubt that Trump's "dream of building a mega-church" rests largely on his knowledge of how lucrative they can be.

He wants to go to superHeaven, where they get the ape channel

A Donald Trump fireside chat would be De Niro's talk show from CASINO, to the 10th power. This needs to happen. And it can't be a one-off. We need Fox News to give him 90 minutes a night if he wants it - sitting in that bizarre defecatory posture in the Oval Office, sniffing like someone stuffed steel wool into his nostrils, squinting at the camera because he's too vain to wear his glasses...

Halloween was yesterday, ain't gotta give me nightmares today

Speaking of Fireside Chats, when did Presidents stop doing weekly radio addresses? I remember hearing recaps on weekend news at least through Clinton and maybe some of W.

Donald Trump continued the weekly video address for the first nine months of his administration, after which he put the address on hiatus.[2] He later released occasional "weekly" addresses before discontinuing the tradition entirely in June of 2018

Of course, it's literally the only reason he would even consider it.

Tax Exemptions too

i'd honestly be curious to see how he'd manage to make that hemorrhage money.

read a pretty convincing argument that Trump literally does not know what "quid pro quo" is which is why he talks about it in such bizarre terms

clearly he doesn't understand what a "witch hunt" is either

he's best pals with the falwell mega church empire, of course it's all about money

good afternoon!

Trump has my vote.

can we not use "Trump" and "hemorrhoids" -- sorry, "hemorrhage" -- in the same sentence

how hilarious would it be to be fly on the wall when some underling has to explain shit like quid pro quo to Donnie

''Quid'? You mean like an octopus?'
'No, President Trump. You're thinking of a squid.'
'No, that octopus thing is called a quid.'
'Of course it is, sir.'
'And what the hell is a 'proke whoa'?'

I'm starving. Order me one of those squid pork rolls you mentioned earlier.

a huge stained glass portrayal of a beaming trump leaking sickly orange sunlight down onto thousands of hooting prosperity-gospel chuds is the next logical step for him, dunno why it’s taken him so long to get moving on it

other than his skull is filled with porridge cooked with rancid piss, obv

That's going to make communion unpleasant.

communion is done with dried Burger King patties that only represent the piss porridge

would be nice to see Eisenberg go to jail, could see Trump sacrificing him

Man, Jesse Eisenberg is everywhere

I was on a supply job yesterday, and--because it was at my old school and I knew the students--the music teacher arranged for me to cover two of her periods involving guitars. So I switched with the teacher who was in for her: Ms. Trump. She was in her late 20s, so it was probably her first or second year supplying. I wouldn't wish that name on anybody--"Good morning grade 8s, I'm Ms. Trump"--much less someone new.

surely with Hitler a surname doomed to obsolescence

If not for horrors to come just the pure clown quotient

like you hardly meet any Shitforbrains these days

is 'supply job' canadian for substitute teaching?

I used to know a guy named Gruber whose family changed it from Schicklgruber a few generations earlier. I guess Tiffany's and Barron's kids will have to go in a totally different direction -- Jones, maybe, or O'Bama.

wow, impossible to prove from the recording but the house music certainly seems to get louder about 30 seconds in. could just be the phone recording but it also seems like something the president's handlers would tell the production crew ahead of time, juuuuuuuuuust in case maybe the entire stadium wants to boo at the worst fucking dipshit on the planet

This WaPo story fills in some blanks. It’s kind of funny because it’s all these guys going, “We could just never understand where his obsession with Ukraine came from ...”

In the fall of 2017, Trump was set to meet with then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko at the United Nations in New York. At the time, U.S. officials were working to convince Trump that Ukraine, locked in a long war with Russian-backed forces, was worthy of American support.
Then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told Volker that he would have about 45 seconds to brief Trump ahead of his meeting with Poroshenko. If Trump was interested in learning more, Tillerson said, the president would ask questions. Volker rushed through his pitch, according to former U.S. officials who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic topics.
Trump then peppered Volker with his negative views of Ukraine, suggesting that it wasn’t a “real country,” that it had always been a part of Russia, and that it was “totally corrupt.”

His entire worldview is parroted Russian talking points.

Getting booed by the UFC crowd is really something

yeah it's pretty disgusting however you slice it

not even remotely surprised by that

I'm willing to accept that it's real because Trump and his dipshit goons would never think to make something like that up, or be capable of recruiting women to come at the guy.

Report indicates this was all before he was an ambassador and just a hotel business goon.

now just an ambassador goon

now just an ambassador goon

doesn't really matter. hist testimony didn't hinge on his character being impeccable.

it matters to the women, but not to his testimony

More corroboration of the other day's rumors.

Granted I will be more secure when it comes out. Expect Trump to drag the lawyer who might be charged through the mud on Twitter

I actually don't understand that ICE fake university program. What is it supposed to accomplish? Discouraging international student visa fraud?? It seems like a frankly bizarre way to target that problem.

My first choice in 2016. I don't regret it.

Time for a new one?

I suppose "The President of Ukraine has just again announced that President Trump has done nothing wrong" is too long for the title?

US Politics, December 2019: Profound procedural deficiencies

Feels like it's occasionally worth remembering/pointing out that the president who decries partisanism at every turn is the same president who has painted everyone outside of his own party as an enemy of America.

Ooops, wrong tread.

LOCK IT DOWN
