I made a similar argument after the election and people here mostly flipped out. The Dems most visible issues don’t impact the areas they need to switch so they just end up preaching to the choir and losing.

Already done.

Yes, and this is precisely the point and the goal. Nothing channels profits better into the hands of the executive class better than wage slaves that get a substandard minimum wage who are forced to work two jobs just to make ends meet. Makes for obedient employees who would be terrified of missing work even if they…

He’d need a nefarious blindly loyal dumbass to agree to the position at this point, but I highly doubt a nefarious blindly loyal dumbass would get through Congress. Maybe. OTOH Jefferson Beauregard Roll Tide Sessions III managed to squirm through but he had the benefit of being a Senator. Ted Cruz or Tom Cotton,…

“Donnie Two Scoops” is my new name for this...guy. Calling Trump an “asshole” is an insult to anuses everywhere.

One is hardly surprised anymore. It’s sad, isn’t it?

My guess is Trump will shutter the base and move it to somewhere more Russiany.

It also has to do with a lot of Democrats being single issue voters and hung up on their stupid purity tests.

That’s what a Trump mark would say, too. Only in reverse. And they would be every bit as sincere and sure of themselves.

Maybe there just aren’t that many rising stars in politics, or at least not that many rising stars that rise through what for years was considered a typical path for the president (if there was ever such a thing). In presidential politics, public displays of charisma tops everything else. Compare the non-incumbent…

seem legit, who wants to touch orange blob?

Starred for “Gorky Pig.” Th-th-th-that’s all, folks.

It wasn’t the ‘peen’ as much as the ‘side’. If that is indeed a condition I hope there is a federal program combating it.

(I also managed to write ‘link’ as ‘pink’ just to add to that innuendo stew...)

We’ve spent years cozying up to Turkey and ignoring basically everything Erdogan is doing. This is not a Trump-specific problem; Obama literally phoned him up last summer and congratulated him on foiling the coup attempt.

Well ...

Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world.^[1] When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be “What about...” followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.^[2][3] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal…

The Michael Scott of Presidents, sans the likeability and sly savviness.

I am also, sadly, a law-talkin’-dude and my first thought was waiver, too. However, one thing that has become unfortunately apparent in this whole nightmare is that the legal principles that apply to us grimy plebes do not apply to the criminal enterprise surrounding the current president of the united states. 

“The whole world hates us now” is actually a bullet point in Trump’s “Why I’m the greatest president ever” PowerPoint slide.

Because it’s a black woman who said it.
