President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Trump is becoming clearly more dangerously deranged by the day, right before our eyes.

It’s only a matter of time until our country will pay a steep and painful price as a result.

How come trump hasn’t won the Afghan War yet? He’s been President for 20 months. Plenty of time for the smartest man in the country to win.

Oh yeah, he’s a syphlitic pussycat.

 

What does "makable" mean? The critical question isn't whether Trump obstructed justice, but whether Mueller's team thinks a sitting president can/should be indicted, which a lot of smart people seem to think is a long shot. Otherwise, there is no case to make. There's no scientific/falsifiable threshold that constitutes impeachable obstruction. If Dems take control of Congress, they'll move to impeach Trump for obstruction of justice. If they fail to take control of Congress, GOP has made it clear they won't impeach him for anything. Trump knows this, which is why he couldn't give a shit about whether his actions constitute obstruction. His best hope right now is to delegitimize Mueller while at the same time using that delegitimization to rally his base to turn out in droves in November, insisting that it's the only way to save his presidency.

 

Hopefully.

All this because Alex Jones is getting booted?

 

While it is true that the media are universally disliked, only one party’s front man has stoked the flames of contempt by branding the media as the enemy of the people. Only one has upped his rhetoric in advance of Annapolis and thereafter. Only one opposed flying flags at half staff in memory of the Annapolis victims until sufficiently shamed for grave-dancing. Only one is planting seeds for a repeat.

 

Yep. Some Trumpists pretend to be appalled by Alex Jones. But at the end of the day, they’ll still support the politician who thinks Jones has an amazing reputation.

No trump supporter is appalled by Alex Jones, they are neither disturbed by what he says nor do they believe his point of view is abberational. Alex Jones merely is an everyman trump defender with a platform.

 

I wish I could take credit for this, but somebody else said it. "First they came for Alex Jones.......and since I wasn't a hate-mongering nutjob intent on harassing grieving parents, I applauded."

 

Thank God some social media companies have taken away that platform.
