President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This is one of those guys who thinks Trump does stupid shit to distract people from his policies. Classic left-wing fretter. As if Trump could describe his policies.

 

Right, trump is stupid and doesn’t plan anything past his next meal or tweet. Pence and Sessions, controlled by the Koch Brothers and a few others are dictating the legislation and appointments

 

The Koch Brothers! LOL.

Link?

 

He’ll love the “Getting out of the business” thread.

 

This is insane, btw:

Port-au-Prince is about the size of Chicago. But it doesn't have a sewer system. It's one of the largest cities in the world without one.

That's a big problem, but never more so than during a time of cholera.

Since cholera was introduced into Haiti 18 months ago — most likely by United Nations peacekeeping troops from Nepal, where the disease is endemic — more than a half-million people have gotten sick and at least 7,050 have died.

Public health authorities say cholera will stay in the environment for a long time, because Haiti has the worst sanitation in this hemisphere.

It's hard for Americans to imagine what this means.

The cumulative sewage of 3 million people flows through open ditches. It mixes with ubiquitous piles of garbage. Each night, an all-but-invisible army of workers called bayakou descend into man-sized holes with buckets to remove human waste from septic pits and latrines, then dump it into the canals that cut through the city.

State employee responsible. No one will get fired.

My brother-in-law and his family live on Oahu. They were filling up water bottles and gassing up the car when this *warning* was issued, pretty properly freaked the fuck out. After all the sabre rattling Trump and Kim Jong have done, Hawaii is going to take that shit seriously.

 

Nothing against you, SP, but this is a particular creature of the social media age, the hilarious fictionalized representation of a public figure in order to demonstrate a trait, is something I have never had much use for. Posters do it here occasionally and it always seems to bring the house down. But I find them to be slogs. Different strokes, I guess.

 

People who continue to support this President, please....Agree with some of the policies? Fine. But this isn't about Trump anymore, it's about people who continue to support him despite everything (because the alternative). Seriously, real conservatives, real Republicans and real Americans should want Trump to step down in favor of Pence.
