Gonna laugh when BLM starts taking over senate seats.

[Great Rumbler]

Also, the Dem candidate to succeed Chris Christie cruised to an easy win [56/42].

Whew lads

[chronovore]

Trump has another hundred or so characters to work with on Twitter and he still sounds like a mentally inept fuckstick

What do you mean, "like"?

[Human Snorenado]

I can't wait for etoilet to tell us about the new breaking news in the Seth Rich murder scandal.

I know it's a long shot but just for sheer entertainment value please have Doug Jones win in AL.

My god will he lose his mind.

[agrajag]

I'll try to make it happen

[Phoenix Dark]

It's Alabama so he won't win but man wouldn't that be crazy. The interesting thing is that Alabama has such an incredibly low turnout rate, especially for minorities. Some of that of course is suppression (including felons not being able to vote). But if Jones can get an increase in voter participation he could make this interesting.

Tho I also think it's a bit of a win win. Moore has pledged not to support any Obamacare bills that don't repeal it 100% so (assuming he's not bullshitting) he's another vote to save the law.

[Joe Molotov]

I can't wait for the stock market to have it's first hicup so that Trump has to find a way to blame Mr. Dow Jones for not supporting him and what he believes in.

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Justice is pushing AT&T Inc (T.N) to sell its CNN cable network to satisfy antitrust concerns over its purchase of Time Warner Inc (TWX.N), the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources it said had direct knowledge of the matter.

[Joe Molotov]

Is that... Revenge against CNN?

That's the implication.

[Trent Dole]

Shouldn't he be angry at MSNBC and not CNN?

Hard to see it any other way when they are simultaneously doing this for their buddies at Sinclair:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBGI.O) on Wednesday praised proposals from the Republican-led Federal Communications Commission that could make it easier to expand its reach and could allow it to eventually make additional investments.

Sinclair, which already owns or operates 192 U.S. television stations, announced plans in May to acquire Tribune’s 42 TV stations in 33 markets as well as cable network WGN America, extending its reach to 72 percent of American households.

An advocacy group Free Press, said Sinclair forces its stations to “air pro-Trump propaganda and then seeks favors from the Trump administration.” Sinclair in April hired a former Trump campaign adviser, Boris Epshteyn, as a commentator.

Last week, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said the regulator would vote Nov. 16 to eliminate the 42-year-old ban on cross-ownership of a newspaper and TV station in a major market and making it easier for media companies to buy additional TV stations in the same market, or for local stations to jointly sell advertising time.

Not that Trumpkins won't find a way to rationalize it. 

[curly]

While obviously it's an issue if the Trump administration is doing this out of a desire to punish CNN, media consolidation is in fact a real issue and the AT&T/Time Warner merger would be terrible.

I wonder if Trump realizes how insecure he sounds or if his narcissism over drives common sense.

Make no mistake, I am not in favor of the merger on actual merits. Or the Sinclair purchase. On the contrary, we should be strengthening our monopoly laws in this country, not weakening the enforcement of them.

What I was  at is the blatant attempt by these kindergarten autocrats to use this "independent" branch of government to laughably try to indirectly bludgeon CNN with through the merger process because Trump thinks they are too mean to him.

Really? Come on.

[Mandark]

While obviously it's an issue if the Trump administration is doing this out of a desire to punish CNN, media consolidation is in fact a real issue and the AT&T/Time Warner merger would be terrible.

Also seems like there are conflicting reports as to whether they were asked to sell CNN specifically, or offered to sell CNN, or whether they were asked to choose between DirectTV and Turner Broadcasting.

That's one of the least-competent political cartoons I've seen in ages. It's as though the guy has some idea of what he wants to convey about the socio-political landscape, and then engages in image-bingo instead.

So, wait, seriously, Donny is just sending out a reminder that he's President, and it's thanks to his base that still might be pissed off that they were made fun of?

"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?" Clinton said at a September 2016 fundraiser. "The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up."

NARRATOR: She wasn't wrong.

I'll be honest, I get those confused with the Ben Garrison ones pretty often, so as far as getting 'literally unbelievabled' goes I'm sympathetic in this case

[studyguy]

Also Abe ate shit while on the golf course w/ Trump while he walked away.

Chris Christie sent PM Abe a sympathy card right afterward. He knows how it feels.

I thought "transgendered" makes it sound like an adjective.

[CatsCatsCats]

Clearly a transitive verb

I know its not okay to make fun of people for their looks, but Steven Miller is 32 going on 50. Criminy!

In twenty years he's gonna look some 80's movie physical effect to show that he drank from the wrong chalice of immortality or something.

[Valhelm]

it's very ok to point out that stephen miller was in high school during 9/11 yet is indistinguishable from Mr. Burns

Nazi News.

Gorka is the worst of the worst. Not only does he have trash views, but he is completely unqualified to have them, and also, is completely insufferable. I’m not even sure the Fox old people will like his condescending ass.

[Valhelm]

dude, Gorka is the best

Like he's a terrifying nazi sympathizer whose views need to be forcibly suppressed, but he's such an outrageous character that it's hard to believe he really exists. Every other monster in Trump's cabinet is just a white dad

when they make a House of Cards type of show about Trump, the Gorka arc is gonna be incredible. Second only to the Scarumucci episode.
