Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

It's quite clear that any affront to constitutional law and simple decency is cool with the Trump crowd here because he's in their tribe. It must be terrible to have hate, spite and fear drive all your thoughts on any topic. Particularly since on other topics, you're not like that at all -- except AQB with the Cardinals.

 

Dems loving themselves some John McCain.

(Also, gray background alert.)

 

At some point you have to be able to shake your head and say, "Heh, silly joke" without engaging the outrage machine to fifth gear.

I remember that line from "All The President's Men": "You guys are about to write a story that says the former attorney general — the highest-ranking law enforcement official in this country — is a crook. Just be sure you're right."

How many times has Trump called the former Secretary of State "Crooked Hillary . . . ?" It's his schtick.

 

Panetta getting the business from the anti-war faction in the arena.

 

Come on ... we're talking about Trump here!

 

Trump is a populist. He's totally motivated by ratings and positive reinforcement. If you hate Trump, and I do, you must hate 46-48% of voting age eligible Americans, and I do.

And a big Fuck You to Bill and Hillary and Wasserman and Brazile and every other fucking Democrat in the party that made Hillary inevitable. The worst candidate since Louis XIII

 

Panetta says Hillary was resolute. We had to go after bin Laden.

MSNBC pans to dude in turban for reaction shot.

WTF. That's racist, even if he's likely a Sihk, and not a Muslim.

 

Sure, because trying to arrange for some TV interviews to show the public that Russians aren't always monsters is the exact same thing as encouraging treason.

 

My wife has decided that Leon Panetta looks like Mr. Potato Head.

 

Trump's view: Hillary may have committed treason. I'm trying to enlist support to help prove this, since my own country failed miserably in the attempt.

But then, that's assuming he wasn't joking. Which he was.

In any event, according to Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution . . .

TREASON
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."

Please tell me we're not going to go the "Aid and Comfort" route in justifying this accusation.

 

I swear, I googled "what's wrong with Leon Panetta's head" while he was speaking.

 

Caught Michelle Obama's speech and was blown away, seeing a bit of Biden now. He is awesome.
