President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The House should censure her.

 

For what? They can do that jointly when they censure Steve King for retweeting actual neo-Nazis.

 

Censure would be mighty stiff. Unlikely.

Maybe a reprimand, but as Michael asks, what for?

And who censures Trump?

 

An administration engaged in what are defined in US and international law as crimes against humanity is losing its shit because they are subject to public acts of shaming. They ought to be thanking their lucky stars vigilantes aren't kidnapping THEM, putting black bags on their heads, and one-way flying them to the Hague. But the primary rule of DC, one that even a fundamentally decent chap like Obama deeply believed in, is that the powerful must never be brought to account in any way, not even a very mild unofficial way. Their self-esteem must never be challenged.

 

If I get yelled at for leaving the toilet seat up, why shouldn’t other folks catch some grief for doing much worse?

 

The debate over that phrase isn't new though. From 2011 ... in Canada.

Maxine Waters is corrupt, evil, the embodiment of the worst things about California Democratic politics. But she ain't stupid.

 

Real life here in the USA is starting to remind me of that old Israeli and Palestinians airline passenger joke which ends with the Israeli lamenting:

“When will it all stop? The spitting into shoes? The peeing into orange juice?”
