President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I suppose it's fortuitous that Ingraham, Coulter and Nielsen are apparently barren.
Even a potential cross-mating with Limbaugh is impossible as he has his own problems reproducing- nay, even getting a proper hard-on.
And these people are big-tent members of a group that claims to have superlative genes to everyone else.

 

Unfortunately Betsy DeVoss has spawned a few Hitler Youth, Trump Division.

And Ingraham is just following orders from Himmler and kidnapping foreign children to be raised in the FatherLand. Just like the old days in Poland and Sebastian Gorka’s fantasies.Kidnapping of children by Nazi Germany - Wikipedia

 

This is a pretty good read.

Brazil Is About To Show The World How A Modern Democracy Collapses | HuffPost

Bolsonaro has threatened his leftist political opponents with violence and imprisonment. He has promised to deliver a political “cleansing never seen before in Brazil,” and threatened media outlets that report news unfavorable to him. His vice president is a former Army general who, in an interview with HuffPost Brazil, refused to rule out a return to military rule, and who has posited — over Bolsonaro’s unconvincing objections — that the new administration could rewrite the country’s constitution.
...
Brazil’s elites and its media, meanwhile, underestimated the strength of the anti-establishment surge taking place under their feet, or the dynamics allowing it to fester. Over and over again throughout the last two years, Brazilian political observers and journalists assured me not just that Bolsonaro wouldn’t win, but that he couldn’t. When they didn’t ignore him outright, they treated him as a sideshow; surely his worst, most provocative statements would be enough to convince Brazilians he was too radical a reactionary.

 

This dude is off whatever rocker he ever had.

 

It genuinely stuns me Trump didn't go to Mar-a-Lago for New Year's. Pelosi made it plain the Democrats weren't going to deal with the shutdown until they got the House majority. Instead, he has stayed in the White House, apparently alone, and tweeting ever-more whack word salads. There's a Jack Nicholson in The Shining vibe to this. I mean, maybe he's not fit to go out and mix and mingle, even with the toadies and grifters at his own New Year's Eve party.

Republicans used to shut down the federal government with the intention (generally) of curbing public spending. President Trump’s GOP, in contrast, shuts down the federal government with the goal of constructing a continent-long wall of dubious utility that will require (by one estimate) three times the concrete poured in building the Hoover Dam.

This wall is not a bad idea. Take the money from the defense department. They don’t need it anymore. No more American intervention in foreign countries, we can reduce aircraft carrier groups to maybe 3. This wall is a jobs program ala the WPA. And a construction boon to contractors all over the country. Take 25 billion from military, shutter some Boeing and Lockheed plants, shutdown a few tank and APC assembly lines. No need for attack helicopters if there are no forces in the field that need close air support.

 

Finding a porn star for him at times like this is no longer an option.

 

To date, Mueller has used the tactic of providing relevant information in public court documents. An indictment of Donnie Jr. would be hard to wave off with an executive privilege claim. And even this Supreme Court is unlikely to rule that events prior to 1/20/17 are covered by executive privilege. Trump wasn't the executive then.

 

Mueller just continues to build his case, brick by brick. Sam Patten isn't that big a player himself, but he can shed a lot of light on Manafort, Kilimnik, and Cambridge Analytica.

 

I’m sure the Secret Sevice is running escorts in and out of the trump hotel next to the White House. And on holidays they probably run them through the East Wing which is closest to the trump hotel.

 

It just doesn’t matter. No trump supporter will change their opinion. They could have Putin on video handing gold bullion to trump in a Moscow hotel with naked 10 year old boys massaging the trump thimble in exchange for hillary’s Emails.

Ask them. What would it take to believe trump doesn’t deserve to be president?
