President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I don't buy it. They're dumb but not *that* dumb.

 

gerrymandering is a travesty. the rest I'm fine with

 

I said the same thing when Trump started winning primaries. Now look at us.

 

If America defaults, is it the greatest day of Ragu's life? Or the worst? Discuss.

 

The idea that the Democratic primary was "rigged" is an instant loss of credibility for anyone who advances it.

There was absolutely nothing rigged about the primary, unless you consider members of a political party having opinions to count as "rigging."

 

Ragu-festo in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ....

 

Thanks. I always like to think that as the "good guys" it is a good thing to spread Democracy. I do know that we have questionable tactics. I am fond of the saying "we have the worst system in the world, except for all the rest".
As far as trumps projection, it amazes me how extensive it is. It helps that we have all those tweets of his. I would love to know what is in his mind as he is doing it.

 

Top story on the NYT site is about how Trump has re-invigorated the coal industry.

Under Trump, Coal Mining Gets New Life on U.S. Lands

 

They're Being Careful.

You want to put off the day when the guys in black helmets come marching in the newsroom as long as you can.

Giving the pig's tummy a little tickle might help.

 

We all got a big guffaw out of it when Trump said he was going to bring the coal industry back during the campaign.

"Those stupid miners! They think their jobs are coming back!"

Well ...

 

It's still bullshit.

Those jobs are goin', boys, and they ain't coming back.

 

I didn't see a whole lot of jobs having come back in that article
