President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This isn't just another sad comedy trombone for the Ralph Northam / Virginia story, it's a reminder that there are lots and lots and lots of white supremacists on this nation's police forces.

I really like this tweet thread. Poster posits that Trump accepted Russian help mainly over money, without understanding what exactly it was that they intended to do to "help" him. By the time he did understand, it was too late and everyone went into lie and coverup mode. It might not be dead on but it has the right feel.

Starts here:






Read the whole thing. Well reasoned even if it's not entirely spot on.

I wouldn't have time to shit, shave, and shine if I read every twitter thread that @Neutral Corner wants us to read.

 

"I can handle things, I'm smaht. Not like everybody says, like dumb."

 

Republicans are right about at least one thing - the vast majority of voters don't give a shit about stuff like this. There's no penalty paid at the voting booth for defiantly carrying on. It takes some Roy Moore level shit to get people to prioritize personal character over issues or party. Will be interesting to see how long Dems can continue to be the party that polices itself, particularly as the social media age carries on, and candidates' moments of youthful ignorance are increasingly available on film/video.

 

Shrug. Then don't. Fourteen tweets, probably less than a page, certainly less than two. It's short enough that Trump could read it.

 

If the photo surfaced before the election - and he won - it seems odd that he'd step down now, doesn't it?

 

Funny how that works. I wonder what would happen if they, oh, I dunno, got their children vaccinated on the normal schedule?
