President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This guy is worse than the all-time worst literary villain. Just for the enormity of his cruelty and pretense that he’s for giving people more money.
He sits on the relief bill instead of vetoing it, because he knows the house and senate will override immediately. That way people have to wait longer to get the $600. While he pretends it is because he wants people to get more, so they don’t blame him. What an all-time asshole.

 

The same base that almost sent Roy Moore to the U.S. Senate. They will find out how to explain it away in short order.

 

Absolutely. If you receive a pardon from Trump, the klan won't ask why. It never asks why he does anything. It simply accepts it and trusts it's all part of a larger plan to drain the swamp and purge the Deep State.

 

I call him “Drumpf.”

 

true dat

 

Keep thinking the late Red Buttons would be updating his routine at Dean Martin roasts to "never had a pardon."

 

Being better than an alcoholic, anti-semite with the morality of a Gilded Age sweatshop owner is a bar Trump could not clear.

 

Honestly, where is the WSJ editor who says, "Yeah ... uh ... no." Also, good thing Ebenezer Scrooge didn't call himself Dr. Scrooge.

 

ye olde hot take shoppe

 

Definitely. A total scumbag.

 

A happy holidays to all the denizens of the politics thread. Thanks for the laughs, insight and conversation.

 

I've been checking in with the conservative media sites (Breitbart/Daily Caller) to see how they are playing the recent news. They aren't waving pom poms for Trump, but they are clearly not kicking him to the curb either. It's almost, dare I say it, nuanced? I think they've moved to the "Ready to move on, but don't want to alienate Trumpers" phase of the stages of GOP grief.
