How dare you bring Ivanka into this.

Trump declared himself the “least anti-Semitic person you’ve ever seen in your entire life,”

I’ll back you on this. Many things are political, but not everything is partisan/electoral.

I am hoping that some patriot at the IRS leaks his tax returns. We need to know how much money he owes Russian Nationals/Banks/Oligarchs.

Exactly. This is no longer a left vs. right type of argument. It’s more of a “holy fuckballs, this tyrant wannabe literally does not know how any of this works.”

Well, okay, let’s play Devil’s Advocate then: If Trump’s team wasn’t actively colluding with Russian intelligence during the campaign, why would Trump’s Administration cover for Flynn when presented with evidence that Flynn lied to his boss regarding contacting Russia?

This. Do people not realize that a large amount, if not most, of the leaks are coming from inside the house — from Republicans? If there’s any group that needs Trump to destroy himself, it’s his own party.

“actively being a part of the left wing machine”

Presidents aren’t “rulers.” Suggesting otherwise is wrong and, frankly, crazy.

Yes, because waging an 8-year ideological & racist jihad against a president is something conservatives would never do, nor would they brazenly steal a Supreme Court seat from said sitting president. Those kinds of things would further damage your “collapsing” system. Thankfully those things never happened and…

They’re still digging up evidence before they’re making a definitive claim either way on whether anyone on Trump’s team colluded with Russia.

Sure, I suppose you can define anti-authoritarianism as a political stance. Maybe I should’ve said this sort of action shouldn’t be perceived as politically *controversial* in a democratic Republic like America.

I hate Paul Ryan with a fiery passion, but I’ll take him as President over Trump in a heartbeat, no questions asked, and I’d expect him to just be another George W. Bush with conventionally crappy and offensively bigoted right-wing policy initiatives. We can survive that for four years, though. It’ll be awful, but it…

A semantic criticism: This IS a political action, but it is NOT a partisan one.

At this point, I’m no longer anti-Trump...I’m simply pro-competence and pro-professionalism. My bar has dropped so far that I’m thinking to myself that Ted Cruz wouldn’t have been so bad.

I love how all the Trump supporters in the comments who are ‘appalled’ at Gizmodo expressing something vaguely akin to a political bias (gasp!) can’t recognize that Donald Trump is, at this point, far beyond the traditional left / right divide in Washington discourse.

“I’m as anti-Trump as can be, but let’s just let him fuck everything up without questioning any of it for the next four years.”
