President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Wisconsin Supreme Court starting the dominos falling for the rest of the country to start emerging from their caves. Hope a blue wave decimates the Republican knuckleheads who sued but in actually hope the state actually comes out ok.

If a group of armed black Georgians showed up at her home for a citizens’ arrest, would she have to comply? Isn’t that how this works now?

 

In the Age of Trump, satire no longer functions.

To paraphrase Vonnegut, it's a banana cream pie three feet in diameter dropped from a stepladder four feet high.

More likely this is a ploy to leverage him into going full Nunes/Jordan in the Senate Intelligence Committee “Obamagate”’hearings.

 

Nah, Judiciary chair Lindsay Graham is in charge of that.

 

Ain't nothing Putin's old pals in the KGB can do that Pompeo's old pals in the CIA can't (or haven't).

 

I seriously question if the Trump attacks on Obama/Biden will have that much impact. Because Alice likes to watch it on our kitchen TV, I saw ABC Nightly News last night. The "unmasking" story was not mentioned. It was all virus all the time. I think attacks on Obama are close to suicidal in electoral terms. And it is very hard to make it seem like the Vice President was actually important in an administration, even if they were, which Biden was a little bit, but no Dick Cheney, for sure. History argues against it.

 

Adam Serwer:

"Trump won the Republican primary, and united the party, in part because his run was focused on the psychic wound of the first black presidency.......You could call birtherism a conspiracy theory, sure. But in 2020, looking at the Trump administration’s efforts to diminish the power of minority voters, imprison child migrants, ban Muslim travelers from entering the country, and criminalize his political opposition, it could be more accurately described as the governing ideology of the United States."

Birtherism of a Nation

 

Going to be a long morning of rage tweeting.

 

Remember when Fox News said Obama's "Hip Hop BBQ" didn't create any jobs? Obamagate ain't either.
