“Trump Derangement Syndrome”

I mean, that is how it goes right? That is Nationalism for you.

At least you don’t have to continuously scroll past Stephen A’s bloated mug.

Does he survive the aneurysm? Because I think a bedridden Trump robbed of all his faculties and left to communicate with the Stephen Hawking Speak and Spell is a) The purest distillation of the Trump name/brand imaginable, and b) Still probably the Republican frontrunner for 2020/2024.

Ugh, he’d a martyr for his idiot followers, and “what if” and conspiracy theories would abound. I’d prefer he be impeached, go absolutely batshit insane on the White House lawn and attack reporters with a mike stand, and have to be tasered and dragged off by the secret service.

Yeah...never know what voters will do. Evangelicals would certainly transfer their votes to someone like Pence...but I don’t see the inflammatory portion of the base like the Proud Boys, Bikers for Trump, etc getting fired up to back up someone like Mitt Romney or whoever else would run. The MAGA crowd is a cult of…

Scaramucci / Conway 2020!

My sympathies go out to the members of the Five Eyes IC who had to indulge Barr in his nonsense. Our allies brought the USA evidence of an attack on our election by a hostile foreign nation. Now, the administration is siding with that hostile foreign nation and investigating our allies.

Agreed. Most of them are more worried about keeping their seat than anything else. Once the tide of opinion turns, they will flip or flop so as to not lose their position.

That also has some horrific consquences. See China.

What’s with all the hatred of Major Pete on this site?? This is like the 4th article criticizing Buttigieg in the last few weeks. Of all the candidates, he’s probably the most intelligent and most reasonable, which would appeal to independents, who we need to take back the White House. He’s also really effective at…

Eh. As long as he’s not holding Rick and Morty up as a genius paean to the misunderstood value of nihilism that only true intellectuals can fully appreciate, I’m down. I kinda dig the show myself, but I’ve never felt the need to storm a McDonald’s for Szechuan sauce, nor do I think I’m particularly erudite for…

Fix taxes?

When it becomes apparent that he is going to hurt their chances to stay in power. Since voting doesn’t really matter, the answer is No.

...and 95% fewer meetings.

No, because they dont have to believe it. And if incontrovertible proof surfaced, they would deflect to how it was improper for whoever released it to have done so. These are people still pissed off that Nixon was forced from office, and that Clinton wasn’t. Nixon saying when the president does it, it isnt illegal was…

The short answer is no. Sure, some will “express concern,” but when push comes to shove and they have to vote, they’ll vote the GOP line.

Like sawdust. But, to be fair, it’s made with five (5) whole grains. So it has that going for it.

Stephen King is a master of writing everything but a decent ending. That said - I’m one of the hot take people who absolutely LOVES the ending of the Dark Tower series. To me, it was perfect.
