President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Are you high?

 

The Republicans don’t care. They think if you can’t afford health care you fucking die.#bootstraps!

 

No, they are making a very legit statement. It is a bizare situation. donald fing trump is the president. Still sounds weird.

 

Here ya go:

Opinion | The dark side of American conservatism has taken over

 

The Republican Party will now be defined by Trump’s dark, divisive vision, with his depiction of Democrats as America-hating, criminal-coddling traitors, his vilification of the press as the “enemy of the people,” and his ugly invective against Mexicans and Muslims. The extremism that many Republicans of goodwill had been trying to push to the fringe of their party is now its governing ideology.

That’s why I can no longer be a Republican, and in fact wish ill fortune on my former party. I am now convinced that the Republican Party must suffer repeated and devastating defeats beginning in November. It must pay a heavy price for its embrace of white nationalism and know-nothingism. Only if the GOP as it is currently constituted is burned to the ground will there be any chance to build a reasonable center-right party out of the ashes. But that will require undoing the work of decades, not just of the past two years.

 

The radicalization of the American right has been underway a long time.

Max Boot will be cast out for saying so.

 

QED

And unfunny in the same way the Bush WMD gag was unfunny.

 

Ubu, back on the throne.

 

Just in case nobody’s already posted this ahead of me (I’m 4 pages behind this thread right now) …



Also, Mom evidently got the #DeleteYourAccount message.
