President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'm just surprised there were two people who knew what YF was talking about.

 

And of course she works at UC Santa Cruz.

She kind of has a Terrence Trent D'Arby look if you squint just right.

On another front it's amusing that Trump is trying to make a right turn at Albuquerque ... from NoKo to Charlottesville to HEY WORLD I'VE MADE A DECISION ON AFGHANISTAN!

Loopiest motherfucker the country's ever had.

 

I think the eclipse pissed him off. God forbid there's a day on the calendar where the spotlight ain't on him.

 

Just a matter of time till he starts tweeting about how he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize ...

 

It really got started when Newt was running the show. He famously told GOPers to spend every second possible outside the Beltway - preferably back in district - to show voters they weren't "DC elitists." That's when you got the rise in Congressmen sleeping on pull-out sofas in their offices, showering at the gym and flying home every Friday. Combining that with the ever-present need to constantly build the campaign chest, you wound up with no chance to build relationships like somewhat normal people. And that also makes it easier to demonize the other side and write off their concerns. Much tougher to do that if your kids are in the same homeroom or your wives play tennis together or you play poker together every Thursday night.

Moderates like Inky and @Neutral Corner really miss the days of Bob Michel and a passive Republican minority, when compromise meant going along with the Democrats.

 

I find it fascinating that Ivanka converted to Orthodox Judaism. What does that really say about her relationship with Daddy?
