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

I did a reverse-image search of that photo and

Ah yes, Fred and Ethel Black

this is all so much worse than when we besmirched Tony Levin's good name and quality mustache on this thread so many months ago

interesting strategy

Ben Carson says that today, people tell black conservatives that they're bad people. He says this is like "the days of slavery," when "they told the ones in the house you're better than the ones in the yard and the ones in the yard, 'you're better than the ones in the field.'"

good kid, maga city

is there a MAGA rap scene? beyond Kanye?

there's a bunch of stuff on RYM with a sub-1.00 rating that would qualify

which will probably include Kanye very soon if trends continue

My name is Trump Train and I'm here to say
I like Trump in a major way
Fruity pebbles

I hereby retract my flippant, off-hand drive-by comment about the mustache of Tony Levin. And I apologize for the pain I have caused to the fretless bass community and to any and all Walrus-Americans.

Our country's like an empty cup
Ready for the people to rise on up
Lock and load while the bombs explode
Deep state comin' for ya down the road
Wave your flag, red, white and blue
Use ya mind like Roy laRoux
Build the wall, just stand tall
Better not kneel before ya throw the ball

Clinton, Soros, Podesta too
Stole our country in one fell swoop
Don't listen to the MSM
Look around, who's funding them?
Where we go one, we go all
The government is due for an overhaul
Roy laRoux, just ask the Q
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

- Roy St. Charlemagne la Roux, 2019

what the fuck is going on??

Look around, who's funding them?

Uh, George Soros is funding George Soros. He doesn't even pretend to hide it.

I’m about 10 minutes from taking an edible and going to the Atl convention center and checking this out.

how does Tim Heidecker keep predicting the future, this was literally one day ago

Someone far more observant than I am pointed out the "studio" performances with Axiom & Tim are CGI'd to appear like they're filming on the InfoWars set

Tech companies’ conflicting strategies over whistleblower doxxing are ... interesting. Been a huge shift in how the industry handles this stuff.

I read Neanderthal’s story upthread yesterday and I’m still agitated by it.
I honestly don’t know how you didn’t explode at him right off the bat, the hypocrisy is so jarring.

Thing is, as bad as it is, I'm perhaps more upset by my supposedly liberal peers who complain constantly about the visible homelessness in Austin. Like their compassion disappears instantly if they actually have to come face to face with it.

Xpost i probably should have, cos the explosion at both folks iirc happened later, twice over the next year and left me shaking with rage after.

Thing is there are a lot of people like him. They don't count borrowing from relatives the same as "freeloading" as they think they're entitled to this money on account of blood.

Also Moodles otm.

i've told this story before, but my oldest brother whose third young child has disabilities which necessitates walking braces and wheelchairs and lots of surgeries is against universal healthcare but is fine taking expensive donated electric wheelchairs, hand driven electric cars (despite he and his spouse making six figures) because these things were privately funded to private organizations and not doled out from the government.

well that way the financial help can be kept within the affluent community who obviously deserve it, not handed around to people whose fault it is they are unwell on account of being poor

most conservatives have the same relationship to the government as a 16 year old does to his parents, constantly bitches about them, whining how they have no freedom, but then when they get arrested or crash the car they expect them to come bail them out

I’m reading American sickness right now and the grift involved in corporate “charitable” donations of medical appliances and drugs is just astounding.

In today's installment of "Things I Forgot Trump Did", I see in my FB memories that he encouraged armed followers to police polling places in '16, and also maybe protest if he didn't win.

well, yeah

Are there ever!

Trump is "the stupidest and most incompetent negotiator we've ever encountered," says Long Yongtu, China's former chief trade negotiator. "Of course we want Trump to be re-elected."

source?

ILX

Too believable.

I do recall some Chinese official being interviewed by Norwegian television shortly before the 2016 election; when asked whether they were worried at the possibility of Trump being elected, he was visibly taken aback, and said something like "uh, well, no, that would not be a great worry".

very normal white house

Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley claims that ex-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and ex-White House Chief of Staff John Kelly secretly subverted President Donald Trump–and tried to convince her to do the same.

“Kelly and Tillerson confided in me that when they resisted the President, they weren’t being insubordinate, they were trying to save the country,” Haley writes in her upcoming book “With All Due Respect,” obtained in advance by the Washington Post on Sunday.

According to Haley, the two senior officials argued their decisions “were in the best interests of America” because they believed Trump “didn’t know what he was doing.”

In a pre-taped “CBS Sunday Morning” interview with reporter Norah O’Donnell, Haley recounted the “offensive” conversation, during which Tillerson also allegedly told her that people “would die” if he didn’t resist Trump’s decisions.

“It absolutely happened,” she said. “And instead of saying that to me, they should’ve been saying that to the President, not asking me to join them on their sidebar plan.”

Haley said Tillerson and Kelly should’ve merely quit if they didn’t like what Trump was doing.

“But to undermine a president is really a very dangerous thing,” she added. “And it goes against the Constitution, and it goes against what the American people want.”

“If by resistance and stalling she means putting a staff process in place…to ensure the [President] knew all the pros and cons of what policy decision he might be contemplating so he could make an informed decision, then guilty as charged,” Kelly told CBS News in response to Haley’s account.

file this with the recent "president settles $2 million charity financial fraud" case under "very minor news in november 2019"

It's being reported that Trump has fired Lt. Col. Vindaman.

Lol add it to the list.

tbf a firing is always the final scene of the week's episode

have there been any reported instances of Trump firing anyone himself during this entire administration?

didn't he fire some general via twitter

Peter King is retiring, will not seek re-election in 2020. When the Republicans have lost Staten Island...

Just kidding. The Republicans will never lose Staten Island. They'll find some ex-ICE agent with an Iron Cross neck tattoo to run and he'll win in a landslide.

Lol

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/11/11/donald-trump-jr-book-talk-ucla-derailed-by-far-right-protesters/?tid=sm_fb

My mistake above; Peter King represents Long Island, not Staten Island. His successor will still be a knuckle-walking goon, of course.

Good morning!

where is piss-chugger Joey Saladino running? Staten Island?

Our country may burn to the ground, but at least we'll always have this moment.
