President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Could be JFK's and that flag was just commemorative or something ... that sure as heck looks like Jackie there ...

 

We must engage Trump's base and listen to them!

 

That certainly looks like JFK and Jackie. Early Sixties. Cold War era.

Who holds parades like that *today*?

 

The flag in the second photo has 50 stars. Alternating pattern in the field. The 48-star flag is arranged in six rows of eight, dress and cover.

 

The wasted Obama years - Alabama Political Reporter

 

I got a 10:37 a.m. appointment for Obama taking my guns away. What about you guys?

 

No, it doesn't. That's totally wrong.

 

People tend to forget the extent to which the last Republican administration was also characterized by cronyism, the appointment of unqualified but well-connected people to key positions. It wasn’t as extreme as what we’re seeing now, but it was striking at the time. Remember “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job”? And it caused very real damage.

In particular, if you want some notion of what Trump governance is likely to look like, consider the botched occupation of Iraq. People who knew anything about nation-building weren’t wanted; party loyalists — and corporate profiteers — took their place. There’s even a little-known connection: Betsy DeVos’s brother, Erik Prince, founded Blackwater, the mercenary outfit that, among other things, helped destabilize Iraq by firing into a crowd of civilians.

Now the conditions that prevailed in Iraq — blind ideology, contempt for expertise, effective absence of any enforcement of ethics rules — have come to America, but in a far more acute form. ...

So there you have it: an administration unprecedented in its corruption,
but also completely unprepared to govern. It’s going to be terrific, let me tell you.

I thought I was wrong... but I turned out to be right!

 

Bidens and Pences meet outside the WH.

Uncle Joe holds Mrs. Pence's hand as they climb the stairs. Pence goes to hold Jill's hand, and Dr. Biden pulls it away.

LOL.

 

FTFY!
