FTFY

This is largely why there hasn’t been any serious effort by Democrats to rally the country around the idea of impeaching Trump: they know as well as we do that they have accomplished almost nothing the last decade on their own (Obama is a generational talent that fell into their lap, and not to go all Bill Simmons,…

This collective anger and frustration won’t lead to much. I’m certain of it. Why? Because the DNC and the GOP aren’t going to do enough to distance themselves from this.

And let’s not forget putting Jeff Fucking Sessions in charge of Justice.

Exactly - it was just an opportunity for them to march, provoke and get media attention. They don’t care all that much about the statues - it’s just an opportunity to be relevant. Plus, the relatively progressive town of Charlottesville guaranteed plenty of counter-protestors.

I wouldn’t call it “genius.” More like an arguably slightly positive accidental byproduct of his own stupidity. The larger issue of this news cycle remains: he failed to call out white supremacy and equated it with opposition to white supremacy. He may have slightly shifted the focus of coverage to statues and flags,…

I don’t see it as him pivoting the conversation, but he’s just continuing to try to defend his half-assed apology. I see it as an extension of his ridiculous attempts at justification of Nazi and the KKK as simply “other Americans,” not necessarily strategic but like how a kid will begin trying to explain how he…

This so much. He’s shown countless times that his erratic thoughts (or what passes for them in his tweets) don’t necessarily mean anything when compared to his actions. Sometimes they line up, but I think that’s by coincidence or rarely when someone else lines them up for him without his knowledge.

I am not sure that that is necessarily genius. My 5 yr old does that all the time when he gets in trouble, “Hey, buddy, did you do this bad thing that got you in trouble?” “Daddy did you know I like Pokemon and I own a restaurant in Charlottesville”.

I genuinely don’t care what low-wattage thoughts bounce around in his empty head. Whether he “really thinks” Nazis are good or bad is completely irrelevant. It’s what you do that matters, and what he does is provide comfort and support (and jobs) to dangerous white supremacists.

You’re doing a bang up job John Kelly. During your brief tenure, Trump has openly fought with his own party leaders, and everyone has had to finally admit that, yeah, he’s AT LEAST white supremacist-sympathetic. Such discipline!

Lest we forget:

That halfwit is such an open partisan for a hostile foreign state even most of the GOP looks askance at him and doesn’t take him seriously.

Rohrabacher is Russian popcorn.

This guy is a fucking Russian agent and belongs in a penitentiary.

during lunch today,

I don’t practice the Irish Goodbye, just the Swiss No-Show.

I used to always do this and have had many people call me out for being rude. Just because you don’t think something is rude won’t stop your friends and family from being offended.

I like to cut the lights too, if I can.
