President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

On Fox & Friends they were pissed at Raffensperger for releasing a confidential conversation with the President

 

Sort of a false equivalency.

Obama was America.

LBJ was America.

Hoover, FDR, Madison, Eisenhower.

America, America, America, America.

 

Those other things Dilbert said were hoaxes were not hoaxes. Sandman really did mock the guy. Trump really did tell people to drink bleach and refer to white supremacists as very fine people.

Dilbert is a lying sack of shit silver-spooner.

 

Agreed. “Inevitable” is not the word. “Unsurprising” is more like it. Trump’s election was not inevitable. It must still be considered improbable.

 

Nixon.

Not Reagan.

This all starts downhill in the late 1960s with Nixon’s openly embracing criminal behavior as part of political strategy (and Goldwater to a lesser extent, because the Southern Strategy and the embrace of white supremacy was a Goldwater move).

 

GOP politicians as right-wing punditry:

 

Steve Earle’s father took this oath when he took the gig: “I am not participating in any strike against the Government of the United States or any agency thereof, and I will not so participate while an employee of the Government of the United States or any agency thereof.”

And despite that, Ronnie gave Steve Earle’s father 48 hours to refresh his memory.

 

Two Democrats in the House have sent a criminal referral to the FBI on Trump.
I'm going to go pee in the river to equal amount of good it will do, but at least it's on the record.

 

Saturday's call, apparently, was the one that got through. Kind of like teens flooding the line for free concert tickets in the heyday of Top 40 radio.
There were 18 attempted calls from the White House to GA secretary of state's office, sources say - CNNPolitics

 

"Hey! You're caller Number Nine! We're looking for the eighteenth caller! Try again, and don't forget the phrase that pays!"

That or Raffensperger was tired of blocking calls from the auto warranty people.

 

He didn't take the calls until he got the recording technology set up in his office.
