I feel for you. It’s such a terrible situation to be in. It’s amazing the response this thread has gotten. If you haven’t seen the documentary, I would highly recommend you watch it. It explains a lot, from the beginnings to the motivations to the well thought out methods it was implemented. I think the only way to…

I really hope you’re right cause this is getting exhausting.

Or, more realistically, they were doing okay but somehow thought that they were magically going to be become rich under Trump.

In the Trump era, this is the new obligatory response. The new Bugs Bunny saws off Florida, if you will.

I feel bad for him. But her? Screw that. She should have listened to him more carefully, or, you know, not drunk the Kool-Aid and done some research. The only good thing to come of this is that maybe, just maybe, people like this will turn on him in 2020.

When you put her next to her father or her brother, she comes across as a genius because she can form complete sentences and use appropriate inflections on words. The Trumps are masters of low expectations, and the past year or so has lowered the standard to subterranean levels.

She IS dim, yet people assume that she is smart and capable because she’s attractive. What in hell has happened to this country?

Does anyone else break out into hives every time they read the news...? No just me?

There are three other factors that need to be considered. First gerrymandering inherently makes it so that more extreme/partisan candidates get elected. The Republicans are better at it, and have more heavily gerrymandered seats, so they’re the ones who get pushed further out of control. Which feeds back into the…

I have nothing to add of substance, but my friend and I played “recast the government with Harry Potter characters” the other day, and here’s what we’ve got.

The construction “in that...” is wonkese, not native to his idiolect. Later,“...of historic proportion” is too many syllables in one clause for him. It’s possible that he demanded that his at-the-time current rant be tweeted, and the closest junior staffer tried to make it sound like it was from and by his boss.

You can’t kill a cult of personality with a single bullet. Trump is going to be death by a thousand cuts. Unlike a normal politician, somehow this joke of a man has a cult following. Check out the collapse of things like Heavens Gate or Jonestown. It’s retreat and excuse, shift the blame, lose some followers every…

And is there no reason to think that the entire administration might be rendered invalid due to the Russian connections? I mean, feels kinda stupid to consider Trump’s selections and nominations as valid despite his consistent idiocy and disregard for the law.

So it’s not about Trump?

“I never thought I’d be saying that W isn’t the worst president of my lifetime.”

Seriously. I thought Bush was the world’s biggest dildo but now he seems downright adorable. WTF TURMP?????

Guys, Trump has done the impossible and made me nostalgic for Bush. I would gratefully trade him into the office of President in a heartbeat. That is how bad things are. And it pisses me off that Trump is making Bush, who was an AWFUL president, be whitewashed with positive sentiment. But here we are.

War criminal. Fuck him.

The fact that he’s salivating at the idea of people going broke because of medical expenses and having their lives ruined (or ended) is...well it’s classic Chump Republican Administration Protocol (or C.R.A.P.) but still unbelievably despicable.

The Democrats will make a deal with me on healthcare as soon as ObamaCare folds - not long. Do not worry, we are in very good shape!
