President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

She's working my corner!

 

Heroes.

Oh wait. He's a volunteer chief.

Zeroes.

 

Yeah, I've been saying the same thing. He essentially dared the players to kneel (they did) and then dared the owners to do something about it (they did not; in fact they did quite the opposite).

But his base ate it up, which I guess was the point.

 

I'm starting to see the first sign of something that might bear resemblance to a crack in the unconditional love and support for Trump among the, shall we say, less-informed. Completely anecdotal, it's only one example, etc., etc, but do with it what you will.

One of my best friends from high school is a meme-loving, blue-collar conservative. Full-on God, guns and guts guy. Lives now in the Inland Empire of California and bitches to no end about the California-ness of it all. (We grew up in the Lower Midwest.) Damn proud to be a Californian who voted for Trump and uses the very little time he spends on social media to tell us all so. His wife (who also grew up with us) is largely the same.

But in the mess of the social media shitstorm that bubbled up Sunday -- in which most of my peaked-in-high-school classmates participated with great love-it-or-leave-it-you-SOBs fervor -- she took an interesting turn with her meme production.

As it turns out, my friend's wife hates cops even more than she hates liberals. And it seems that among my social media contacts from my hometown, she alone remembered why Kaepernick was kneeling in the first place. Today she's posting questions about why Trump is ignoring Puerto Rico.

Until this weekend, she was all-in for Trump. Now she seems to want to actually participate in debate. It gives me some hope that Trump will cross enough of his individual voters' lines to create an irreparable fissure in that up-until-now unconditional support, maybe even enough to support a primary challenge.

 

No wall.
No repeal and replace.
No tax reform.
No mass return of industrial jobs.

The culture war of "Who truly loves 'Murica?!" is back, though. Oh, and triggered libtards.

 

He's also set most government agencies back by several years by not filling positions. That's a conservative accomplishment.

 

That's not all that loud.

 

Too late.

Sorry, but fuck her.

Fuck all of them.
