President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

So I played the "Flounder, you fucked up, you trusted us." After it ran, Youtube pops up with half a dozen other things to watch. This was one of them, and it's great.

Belushi and Doug Kenney left us far too early, and I flat loved Chris Miller's writing for the Lampoon in the '70's.

 

OK, Trumpists, let's hear it. Are you happy with this president of yours endangering the lives or at least the financial security of the poor? Does this constitute American Exceptionalism? Please explain why this Makes Ammmurrica Great.

 

I posted this story earlier today.

Betsy DeVos Withdraws Obama-Era Student Loan Protections

Then I saw this tonight.

 

Hell yes they are. They sprouting 10-inch errections just thinking about it. Even the country club Republicans who usually hate Trump would love him for this.

 

When you want to tell the boss who's shutting down your department to fuck off but you have to stick it out for the severance pay.

I would define a weapon as a stick, a club, a sword, a firearm, a mortar shell, a missile, a bomb etc.

I would not define a weapon as a method of mass execution, e.g. poison gas piped in through shower heads.

 

What about WMD's?

 

So a bomb or a shell that distributes poison gas is a weapon of mass destruction, but the same gas piped into an enclosed space isn't a weapon?

A roll of quarters, a rock, a piece of pipe, a bottle, or a piece of glass can be a weapon. "Weapon" is as much about intent to do harm as it is about something being a purpose built weapon.

I mentioned the Jewish Resistance fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto above. The Germans had control of the ground and the roofs, with recon planes as needed. The fighters used the sewers as a way to get around without being shot, coming up when and where they chose to strike. The Germans responded by dropping rolls of barbed wire down every manhole in the area and then pumping in poison gas to kill the resistance.

Was that gas not a weapon?

 

Here they are:

 

Do you think a gun is a weapon but not the bullet?

 

Hi-fucking-larious.

At this point, The GOP really has no idea what policies it voted for, except "Not Hillary!"

 

For most of them that's enough.
