I brought that possibility up yesterday. Trump militarizong the border is just one badly worded tweet away from sending them into Mexico on the pretense of defending America from the scary brown people.

Honestly, I’m kind of glad he didn’t bring up Martin Luther King for the simple fact that he would surely say something detestable and/or make it about himself. Likely something about how he’s “carrying on MLK’s work” and how he’s “making America great for black people”

“it was clear to her that Kushner and Trump viewed themselves as “savvy dealmakers” who wanted to “deliver a political win.”

So what are the chances Trump will try to low-key invade Mexico with this new military initiative by saying he has to to it to protect America until he gets his wall and thus putting it on Mexico to pay for the wall to keep the US military out.

Pretty much. As far as Republicans are concerned, the government can’t do anything for the greater good of the country unless it’s privatized and/or pulling a profit because that would be socialism if not communism and ‘Merica is all about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and getting filthy rich through grit…

As far as I know, there is not actually an official procedure to secede. If a state wants to secede, they basically have to declare it and then defend it

I’m pretty sure Trump mashes keys and lets autocorrect make it semi-readable

Fortunately, Jim Carrey already painted a portrait of Trump and offered it to the national portrait gallery. It’s the best like ess of Trump we could hope for, really.

To be fair, given the turnover rate in this administration, you can probably get to 20 a year with maybe 4 or 5 cabinet positions

I hate to generalize, and I understand that for a lot of people religion is a vehicle for love, acceptance, and community, but for a lot of people, religion, somehow inexplicably tied to nationalism and jingoism, is an excuse to hate and exclude (conveniently ignoring that all those brown people they’re vilifying are…

Oh please, Trump isn’t even the adult in the room when it’s just him and Barron

I mean, for the sake of argument, let’s pretend that caravan is filled with drug dealers and rapists instead of refugees. Wouldn’t it be a hell of a lot cheaper and far more effective to deploy law enforcement units strategically based on where they’re most likely to cross (for the sake of argument let’s also pretend…

According to the critics that think they’re clever by calling Obama “Golfer in Chief,” as of The end of December 2016 (i.e. after being president for EIGHT years) Obama played 306 rounds of golf. So Tump has reached 1/3 of that in just over one year

Exactly. We’re all human and we mispeak, but misspeaking is like saying county when referring to a city’s statistics or mispronouncing someone’s name. Misspeaking is not putting forth a tone-deaf proposal completely detached from reality to avoid having to defend the indefensible position of your paymasters.

Okay, so isn’t all this immigrant/minority oppression ostensibly to better provide for citizens? I mean, it’s not like the republicans would ever propose something like universal healthcare or income even if they did manage to oust every immigrant. I guess they’ll just pass another tax cut for the rich and sell the…

Now the twatwaffle is trying to claim that he misspoke and that people who arefocusing on the stupidity of what he said are missing his bigger point [that guns aren’t the problem]

That portrait is America. Half of it not just ignorant of their own ignorance but proud of how smart they think they are. The other half, the rest of us with any sanity, just wanting the nightmare to end

While in a sane world, we’d all understand the significance of the Stormy Daniels issue. Unfortunately, 2016 proved that nearly half of the country is fucking insane and for a significant part of that half, the idea that Trump had sex with a porn star makes him more popular

There was an opinion piece on some conservative website a couple days ago basically blaming the anti-gun, March for Our Lives students for the visible ID/Clear backpack policies now in place at the school. Their argument leaned on the whole security vs freedom argument saying that the kids want safety then they…
