President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

"We're going to go to typefitter, our Racism Judge on this one."

"Well, @QYFW, on a scale from 1—assuming the man named Tony you haven't met will have black hair—to 10—advocating for or participating in a lynching—I'm going to give this meme a 3.5. Fairly racist."

 

You're Spartan Squad. You have presidential aspirations, because, of course, you love this country, and after all, anyone in this country can grow up to be president.

Candidate Spartan Squad, explain the non-Herculean way you expect to get your name on the ballot?

I wouldn't THINK of doing so. So I'll just say this: Russia's election system is so royally fucked up . . . that the person with the most votes actually wins!

They were WAY WAY WAY behind the Chinese in those endeavors.
Never trust the Chinese. Or the Russians. Or a fart.

Very fine people.

 

Where'd Uncle Ho get all those AK-47s?

And planes?

And missiles?

USSR, Warsaw Pact, PRC.

 

You realize I said without criticizing the US system because
1) I knew you immediately go there
2) I might be acknowledging the campaign finance system in the US makes it near impossible for someone like me to attain national office

 

Ok, here's me being fair to Trump: The "Trump revealed the true meaning to the meeting with his tweet" argument doesn't do a lot for me. My understanding was Jr., Kush and whoever else were lured to the meeting by the promise of dirt on Clinton, but once they got there the conversation was all about adoption and there was no Clinton dirt to be had. They were disappointed and began trying to eject ASAP.

Trump's initial comments that the meeting was about adoption, and his current comments that the purpose of the meeting was dirt on Clinton don't contradict. Now, there's all kinds of problems with Jr. and Kush taking the meeting in the first place, but I don't see the major new problem with Trump's tweet.

Maybe I'm missing something.

 

Gundamentalists. Nice.

Except for the planes and the pilots. And the guns. Etc.

 

1. If you go to a meeting seeking to participate in an illegal act and the other party doesn't come through on its promise, you were still attempting to participate in a criminal conspiracy. If you go to buy a kilo of coke and the other guy sells you baking soda, your position if the cops bust in is still problematic.
2. Believing the adoption story as a fallback now is sweet, but don't place any bets on it.

 

That's like one party saying "the other party is trying to ruin Utopia." It doesn't exist. What the Russians are doing is pulling back the curtain to show you it doesn't exist. And it's really uncomfortable to watch.

So the USSR was smarter. Help 'em, but they'll be the ones burying any dead.
