President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Somebody is going to be unemployed by Fox News very soon.

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Did President Trump obstruct justice?

 

The 400 pound lard bag who "works" (kinda) three hours a day calling people "sleepy."

And "intelligence" ... good god.

 

Illegal aliens are also counted in determining the number of representatives and the flow of federal dollars, but they aren't allowed to vote (in federal elections anyway; I believe a few localities allow them to vote).

 

Yes, dude whose head has gotten so fat his eyes look like Jabba-like amphibian slits ... calling someone else sleepy.
Maybe one of his avid fans/trusted advisers should tell him he's never been funny, once, ever, with these monikers.
Read the contemporary descriptions of Henry VIII's physical condition near the end of his life.
The obesity, physical repulsion, the literal stench that occasioned his presence in a room.
Trump is approaching all of that.

 

O'Rourke could be exposed, but the first issue I've seen him tackle is immigration and he's no lightweight on that subject. He has a clear policy goal that makes sense to me. If he's able to craft and articulate policy goals on other issues as well he is doing on immigration, I think he's got a chance to be a really good President.

 

If Biden is the nominee, the VP and heir apparent for 2024 are pretty obvious: Young, female, energetic, non-white, charismatic. Since the mopping-up operation from the Fucko fecal festival will still be in full force, a background in prosecution will be useful. We'll be sending a lot of those fuckers to jail, if not the gallows.

Since Biden is really too old to be president himself anyway, the VP slot on his ticket should be understood as an "apprentice president."

 

Set aside all of Trump's personal crimes in his own interest. Russia provably attacked and attempted to or actually did manipulate our election results. Trump refuses to acknowledge this, because he thinks it makes his election look less legitimate. It does do that, but that's beside the point. Trump's refusal to face that fact and his dragging his feet, preventing Congress and the various governmental agencies from addressing that attack amounts to another set of Obstruction of Justice charges, and these directly endanger the country. That's not a political party attack on the opposing party, that's the President refusing to act to protect the U.S.

Impeach his ass for that.

 

If you don't count them, then they are not accounted for in federal budget planning.

 

Biden's opening video was quite strong. He had the advantage of not needing to spend time explaining who he was, where he came from.

 

The combination of disenfranchising prisoners and ex-cons - and I fully admit I'm conflating the two - results in the effective partial disenfranchisement of black communities. But just to add to that, two states already allow prisoners to vote: Maine and Vermont, the two whitest states in the country. And prisons tend to be located in conservative white districts, and these disenfranchised prisoners count toward the populations of those districts, thereby increasing the legislative and congressional representations of those districts.

Adding these factors together, we arrive at something that feels entirely too close to the impact of the old 3/5 compromise.

Basically, this is a left-libertarian argument. The constitution allows for this disenfranchisement, but if the state is pushing the envelope of its ability to restrict the rights of its citizens, concerned citizens should strive to rein it in.

 

Biden/Harris 2020.
