President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Pussy-Grabber for Jesus.

 

This is exactly right. It's one thing to want to drain the swamp, but you need to send someone with a little experience dealing with messes. As I've said before, Trump is the wrong guy at the right time.

 

Hey, that's like that really old attraction at Disneyworld that slowly rotated a stage.

If I remember correctly, it was called "Carousel of Progress".

 

Trump Threatens Congressional Health Insurance Benefits

 

It's about 90% correct. This graf is very good:

Republicans don’t care about making an honest case for their priorities; Trump lies nearly every time he opens his mouth. They’re unconcerned about the details of policy; he knows less about how government works than your average sixth-grader. They’re indifferent to human suffering; he literally advocatesdestroying the individual health-care market so he can blame Barack Obama for the lives that wind up ruined. They advocate a mindless anti-government philosophy; he has so much contempt for governing that he puts his son-in-law in charge of everything from solving the opioid crisis to achieving Middle East peace. They whine endlessly about the liberal media; he spends hours every day watching “Fox & Friends” and takes advice from Sean Hannity. Trump is the essence of the GOP, distilled down to its depraved and odious core.

I look forward to the return of an honorable Republican party. I don't know when we'll see it. These are men and women - mostly white men - so in love with their little coterie of shrieking right-wing journalists, and so beholden to their small group of benefactors, that I'm not sure when and how it changes.

 

Have we discussed this one yet?

Trump's demeaning of Priebus came through in other ways, too. At one point, during a meeting in the Oval Office, a fly began buzzing overhead, distracting the president. As the fly continued to circle, Trump summoned his chief of staff and tasked him with killing the insect, according to someone familiar with the incident. (The West Wing has a regular fly problem.)

I bet Trump made him do it with chopsticks too.

 

I'm sure it's much worse now that a 350-pound load of shit sits oozing in the Oval Office for hours every day.

 

Still there! Or at least it was a few years ago. That was a great spot to rest with a 3-year-old.
