President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Wasn't just around here. Your guy Bannon was decreeing victory because he thought Gillespie was a swamp-drainer. Then all of a sudden, Gillespie goes belly-up and he's "Swamp Thing."
As for hacking, your people tried. They really tried. They called Latino and black voters in various parts of the state with bogus robo-calls saying that polling places had changed. This from the party of Christian values. I'm not sure which one, but I think those tactics break one of the commandments that your guy Roy Moore placed in a courthouse in violation of a federal court order.

 

They break federal law, too.

 

For you people who don’t really understand the principles and practices of American government ... do you also practice some non-standard usage of the word “your”?

 

"principles and practices of American government" is code for white supremacy, right?

 

MC, acknowledging the possibility that YF is lying is not the same as claiming he isn't there. I'm sorry that distinction escaped you.

YF has proven that nothing he posts should be trusted.

 

Bannon coming hard for McTurtleface. Says senate should vote on a majority leader after taxes get done.

 

Politico reporter revisits Trump voters a year later to see if they’ve changed their minds about him. Spoiler alert: They haven’t. And they won’t.

Johnstown Never Believed Trump Would Help. They Still Love Him Anyway.

“The thing that irritates me to no end is this NFL shit,” Schilling told me in her living room. “I’m about ready to go over the top with this shit. We do not watch no NFL now.” They’re Dallas Cowboys fans. “We banned ’em. We don’t watch it.”

Schilling looked at her husband, Dave McCabe, who’s 67 and a retired high school basketball coach. She nodded at me. “Tell him,” she said to McCabe, “what you said the NFL is …”

McCabe looked momentarily wary. He laughed a little. “I don’t remember saying that,” he said unconvincingly.

Schilling was having none of it. “You’re the one that told me, liar,” she said.

She looked at me.

The NFL?

“Niggers for life,” Schilling said.

“For life,” McCabe added.

 

You sure do love posting that word here.

 

Does strike me as somewhat odd. The trailer seems to go out if its way to credit the NYT and emphasize that WaPo was chasing the NYT on the story from the start.

Perhaps that was from criticism already being felt. The SCOTUS case obviously names the Times. But (and I’m fuzzy here) WaPo jumping in to continue the NYT reportnt forced SCOTUS to rule more quickly (happy to be corrected if I’m wrong).

Guessing the movie is being done this way is because of Graham’s unique place as a woman in charge of the paper and Bradlee is, well, Bradlee. And the obvious name recognition from All the President’s Men.

They’ve already got my money. Hope it’s good.

Newpaper movies! It was a long drought before Spotlight.

 

Very fine people there.

 

It's a powerful anecdote.
