President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Meet the guys who tape Trump's papers back together

"Lartey, 54, and Young, 48, were career government officials who worked together in records management until this spring, when both were abruptly terminated from their jobs. Both are now unemployed and still full of questions about why they were stripped of their badges with no explanation and marched off of the White House grounds by Secret Service."

 

It's probably nothing.

Trumpists are quite something. They spout this while claiming to be the only people who are real Americans, the only people who love America and the only people worthy of respect. Every day, spineless republicans in Congress live and breathe this ideology. Their support keeps their guy going and going and going.

 

The only proper response to that is, I have a happy life and you obviously don't, loser.

 

And the two deplorables I quoted were not just hayseeds. They're physicians. People with thinking brains who live in nice houses and would seem to have a great life.

Much anger in what they post, however (on any subject).

Does that boycott include the Stanley Cup? Because shit-fuck, it’s been a while since a Canadian franchise has had it.

 

Not all boycotts are purposeful.

 

Opinion | Trump Tries to Destroy the West

The alliance between the United States and Western Europe has accomplished great things. It won two world wars in the first half of the 20th century. Then it expanded to include its former enemies and went on to win the Cold War, help spread democracy and build the highest living standards the world has ever known.

President Trump is trying to destroy that alliance.

Is that how he thinks about it? Who knows. It’s impossible to get inside his head and divine his strategic goals, if he even has long-term goals. But put it this way: If a president of the United States were to sketch out a secret, detailed plan to break up the Atlantic alliance, that plan would bear a striking resemblance to Trump’s behavior.

It would involve outward hostility to the leaders of Canada, Britain, France, Germany and Japan. Specifically, it would involve picking fights over artificial issues — not to win big concessions for the United States, but to create conflict for the sake of it.

A secret plan to break up the West would also have the United States looking for new allies to replace the discarded ones. The most obvious would be Russia, the biggest rival within Europe to Germany, France and Britain. And just as Russia does, a United States intent on wrecking the Atlantic alliance would meddle in the domestic politics of other countries to install new governments that also rejected the old alliance.

Check. Check. Check. Check. Trump is doing every one of these things.

 

Ontario hates Trump so much it elected Doug Ford.

 

But it makes liberals mad, so it's okay.
