President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Sean Spicer is pounding gum at breakneck speed right now.

 

He's everywhere in Canada after calling our prime minister "Joe Trudeau".

 

That Bowling Green or Ivanka's clothing line was not mentioned in this story shows how much of a joke she's become. They've been bypassed by bigger lies.

 

We're a one-party system, with a slight, twig-sized branch.

Party 1A: Spend like crazy/spread sphere of influence around globe/guns begone/pro-choice/LBGTQLMNOP yay!
Party 1B: Spend like crazy/spread sphere of influence around globe/guns yay!/pro-life/LBGTQLMNOP begone

With gerrymandered districts to keep incumbents in power, presidential nominees who are coronated, and presidents elected who finish second in the popular vote.

Let's just cut out the "democracy" nonsense once and for all, kay? It has become as much of a misnomer as the "German Democratic Republic" was.

 

And at the newser with Nettanyahu, he played the "they lost" card. Words defy me on that one (stop applauding!)

 

What do you think about anti-Semitism?

Hey, did you know I got over 300 electoral votes?

Says it all really.

 

Fake news. Blah, blah, blah.

Dishonest numbers. Blah, blah, blah.

Can I interest you in a retrospective on electoral vote totals and/or inaugural crowd sizes?

 

How nice. Trump posing with the 6 future commissioners of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown.

 

A time machine and a thesaurus would have been useful.

 

It's straight partisanship ... the same thing, roughly, happened with respect to Wikileaks. Who got hurt (or helped) is what drove these things. I just grow weary of the informed outrage ...

 

YouGov's latest research shows that public attitudes towards Wikileaks is very different in 2016 compared to 2010. According to Pew Research Center, in 2010 60% of Americans who are aware of the emails thought that the release of State Department cables harmed the public interest, but in 2016 only 28% believe that the release of John Podesta's emails harms the public interest. The shift is most pronounced among Republicans, 75% of whom say that the cable releases were harmful, while only 12% say that the email leak is harmful.

Among Democrats the change is minimal. 53% who had heard of the cable leaks thought it harmed the public interest, while 48% say that the email leak in 2016 harms the public interest.
