President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Wow, what a solid defence of a white supremacist from the board racist. She's also part of his confirmation committee, hence her seat today, sad racist dropout man.

 

Gary Cohn had to steal a document off Trump's desk to keep him from pulling out of a trade agreement with South Korea.

 

Trump called Jeff Sessions "mentally retarded."

 

I waited at least a minute before liking your reply. Hopefully that does not upset the "like police".

 

“Let’s fucking kill him! Let’s go in. Let’s kill the fucking lot of them."

 

"Don't testify. It's either that or an orange jumpsuit." - John Dowd

 

"Mattis was particularly exasperated and alarmed, telling close associates that the president acted like - and had the understanding of - 'a fifth- or sixth-grader.'"

 

I mean, I am going to need a bit more than Twitter analysts telling us "that's not normal resting body language, no one has ever sat like that, try putting your fingers in that position, the only way it works is if you have a muscular disease" before declaring someone's flashing white power signs on national television. It's also, other Twitter expert analysts tell us, sign language for asshole. Which seems equally implausible and dumb as being the reason she's sitting like that.

And there's this:

No, the "OK" Gesture Is Not a Hate Symbol

There are so many awful and terrifying things about this administration -- so many things we just learned today and there are still more than seven hours left in the day! -- and about this nomination, but this one seems Alex Jonesesque almost and isn't one that I'm going to write my congressperson about.

I hear this, but for me it's yet more evidence, already ample and ever growing, that this is a racist administration. That people still deny it, the way those same people are likely to deny, oh, say, climate change, makes me want to puke. They are either racists or deluding themselves. (SPOILER: @YankeeFan is one of the racists.) They need to be shown what they are every chance we get.

A distinguished physician, Dr. Gelman is a second-generation Polish-American Jew whose parents barely escaped the Holocaust and found solace in America. Growing up in the shadow of the Holocaust, this son of newly-minted American immigrants developed his political beliefs viewing freedom as a remedy for the evils of government control.

 

So her mom's name is Maria. Maiden name?
