President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

If I was Sean Spicer, I'd probably have a permanent look of angry bewilderment, too.

 

Whoever that is with his back turned to that group is a brave mofo

 

Shit you can't even make up.

Snyder - Gov. Rick Snyder names Dick Posthumus, long-time advisor and partner in reinvention, to serve as Chief of Staff

 

If they had used public money to pay for their own private education or that of their children, that would be hypocrisy.

Also, you and the other Republican cheerleaders keep trying to limit the reasons for opposing DeVos to her opinions on policy while running away from her lack of the qualifications and knowledge necessary for the position.

 

Hopefully the sack will go over the face of that shriveled hag-bitch and keep her wrinkled mug off my teevee.

 

He's a Tough Nerd!!

 

Here's my point and it's one that shouldn't be lost on your political bent: Democrats have been crushed - crushed! - at the local level. Statehouses, school boards, governors, mayors, congress...it all has an effect, and that crushing is in part due to liberals simply having too great a purity/coolness test, producing mediocre candidates (or, in some cases, no candidate at all).

And it goes deeper than your "white racism" trope. Much deeper. It speaks to guns, pipelines, bathroom bills, abortion, immigration laws, tax policy, free college for goodness sakes...

It is not a winnable platform. Something's gotta give, or the party will continue to lose.

We're about to see historic rollbacks in progress thanks to a trump presidency. You can go on all you like about how right you are and how awful everyone else is. Would you rather be a martyr, or live in America where the baby doesn't get tossed out with the bath water? If it's the latter, Democrats have to change their platform a little. And that means some of the social agenda might have to take a back seat.

 

Somebody ought to start a President Trout thread.

 

If they were smart, progressives would have a secret file labeled "WBD" which would stand for "When Boomers Die." You'll eventually get some of the social shit passed, but not until a sizable portion of the Baby Boomers are gone. In the meantime, work on the economic shit you can get done.

 

We can hope.

 

If this was so obvious, why didn't the GOP-controlled House at least convene impeachment hearings? The full Senate trial would have resulted in acquittal, but they could have at least achieved a stain on the Muslim negro's reputation and legacy.
Or maybe there wasn't a case.

 

You apparently didn't read the article ... the Supreme Court found against him unanimously in the NLRB/recess appointments case. To say that he hadn't acted unconstitutionally because he wasn't impeached is a seriously charitable interpretation ...
