President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

If there's no Michael, it stands to reason there's no George Michael and no Ann, but then again, maybe Pence is Michael ... but let's see if we can extrapolate this any further.

Oscar Bluth: John Barron
Barry Zuckerkorn: Reince Priebus
J. Walter Weatherman: Steve Bannon
White Power Bill: Richard Spencer
Kitty: KellyAnne Conway
TV News Guy: Anderson Cooper

 

Ironically, Scott Baio doesn't really work as Bob Loblaw.

 

CNN is pumping video it obtained of Trump, Goldstone, etc. at a Vegas dinner in 2013 or so. But these acquaintances are well-known already, so not exactly news.

 

The simplest rule of Trump. If you want to know what he's done, look at what he accuses other people of doing. Right about the time the Russian bot network really started hitting the internet, the faux kerfuffle over "Correct the Record" hit the talking points.

 

See, I can't agree. This is exactly why Ryan is the *right* example.

This isn't another "Sure, we hate all Republicans, but we pick out one non-threatening one to say we like to seem open to discussion," i.e. The Kasich Effect.

If you aren't willing to work with someone as vile as Paul Ryan, then you aren't really appreciating the problem Trump poses.

 

I am now convinced Natalia Whateverskaya was a classic Putin "dangle." She probably wasn't even aware of it.

They bait the line and when they say "I love it," the hook is set.

 

Here's an abridged list of things that did not make Republicans turn on Trump:

1) A history of a lifestyle that is completely the opposite of everything they claim to morally stand for
2) Buying a teen beauty pageant so that he could pop in on undressed children
3) Repeatedly using Nazi iconography in his campaign materials
4) Bragging about sexual assault
5) Openly mocking a disabled man in public
6) Spontaneously changing the party's platform to a pro-Russian slant
7) A long history of financial fraud
8) Firing the FBI director for declining to drop a criminal investigation into his associates

Firing Mueller wouldn't even make the podium in the despicable sell-out Olympics that is Republicans rationalizing Trump.

 

Ryan's PAC used stolen DNC emails in its attack ads. Russians targeted Democrats in a dozen Congressional races. They can't work with him here because he's part of the crime. He's complicit.

 

I think that would result in the FBI, CIA, etc. leaking any and all dope on Republican Congresspeople. And working hard to dig up more.

 

Today's FBI confirmation hearings prominently included questions that presumed the sitting POTUS would ask the nominee to do unethical things. And the questions came from Graham, a member of the president's party. Cuck alert. Also quite a statement about their beloved leader.

 

I'm going to predict that the House will flip in 2018 and they will vote to impeach, probably in late spring 2019.

But the Senate will fail to convict even if the Dems flip it (which in itself will be a really tall task since not a lot of GOP seats are up for grabs — these are the seats that rode the Obama-Christie wave, literally post-Sandy, in 2012.)

My final guess is Trump will see the light, blow his family back to Manhattan, get people into the WH who have a clue, and beat Cory Booker in 2020 with his same coalition.

Check back with me at Halloween 2019 and we'll see.
