President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

As was discussed a few days ago: The staggering amount of provable lies is insane. And it’s more insane his followers BELIEVE him and not the truth. Even when shown proof.

 

Maybe someone can ask the trump supporters here for a link to literally each and every steel plant that has opened daily for the last few weeks. If they limit it to work days that’ll only be 10-15links.

 

Those plants will probably be opening every 15 minutes, and I literally mean that literally, during Infrastructure Week.

 

The fact remains, our soon-to-be 33rd president was ready to side with a country that had attacked and was occupying nine countries over one of the countries that was attacked.

 

Second Manafort already scheduled. Cohen soon? I hope Don, Jr. in Trump Tower comes quickly.

I imagine that some people might be feeling queasy watching the Manafort testimony. Mueller may still be getting folks in voluntarily to make a deal.

 

It's actually a good question for which there'd be a concrete answer (that Sanders wouldn't have), but I somehow doubt it's sexy enough for that setting.

 

Why are these people so angry about all that winning? They literally are exploding.

 

Iran-Contra took almost seven years from probe to report.

 

I see people gripe about "curating tweets", and I know I post a lot of them. It's just that posting the link to the main story and a couple of generic statements about what it was is a waste when Chris Hayes has already written it better .

 

Honest to god, BTE does not get enough credit around here. Probably our most underrated poster ever. The way he unapologetically marches straight into the line of fire on his pro-Russia thing just amuses the hell out of me. And it's amazing how often the line of fire (despite an overwhelming numerical advantage) ends up being the side that backs down, simply because they know he's smart as hell and don't want to deal with what he comes back with.

The man is a board treasure, it's about time he be recognized as such.

 

Post-Communist Russia Is Not the Soviet Union


With the possible exception of a couple of sentences . . . WORD FOR WORD

 

What explains then his reversal of his position as a congressman when he had the opportunity to pivot the American army in Germany and face off against Russia in 1945?
