President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Never again

 

I used to wonder what hell might be like, to live in a foreign land that is brutally controlled by people you never see and never even meet. But, sadly, now this shit has come to America.

We are being arm-twisted and sucker-punched into a future with no future.

 

Conrad Black was pardoned because he wrote nice things about Trump.

 

And this GOP standing for Israel is so cynical. Trust me, in the game of musical chairs, you want us to sit before the Muslims, but we ain’t making it to the end of the song.

 

They love Israelis, but hate American Jews.

 

Pat Robertson Thinks Alabama Anti-Abortion Law is 'Too Extreme'

 

Where’s it headed?

 

I invite you to find some of the enraged and/or terrified women of Alabama on Twitter and try to sell that line to them. A legislature of old white men just took away their control of their own bodies.

 

Opinion | Stop telling people that Alabama is better than this. It’s not.

Don’t we have some of the lowest wages in the nation? Don’t we have some of the worst schools? Don’t we have the nation’s worst health care system? Don’t we have some of the worst infrastructure? Don’t we have some of the worst pollution?

You’d think that after 150 years of basing their votes on religion and hate instead of self-interest, some of those voters would take a look around. That large groups would get tired of being played for absolute fools by some of the worst con men to walk the planet.

But they never, ever do.

Last November, in the midterms, I pointed out that Republican candidates literally had no plans to govern. I was specific. I directed everyone to their websites and social media, quoted them from debates, and then I compared them to their Democratic counterparts.

Didn’t matter.

Because that’s not what the majority of the people in this state care about. They don’t care about what’s right or who can best solve the state’s problems. They care about their team, and about what their friends and neighbors might think of them if they suddenly began thinking for themselves.

 

Meh, not that wealthy white folks that live in "liberal" California are any better.

Racist ‘promposal’ shows disconnect between affluent Palos Verdes, the rest of L.A.

(Kudos to the LA Times for linking to the uncensored twitter photo. Most news outlets including the Daily Breeze, whose beat this is, didn't have the guts.)
