US Politics Thread |OT| SAD TRUMP

Still hanging on to a narrative that Trump is playing dimensional chess and is always one step ahead of the media/political opponents in 2018 is 

[Nintex]

Nintex is just a Trump fanboy who hides it poorly. No need to hear about his views when they go through an orange filter.

I'm no Trump fanboy.

I saw this coming from a mile way in 2016. I'm Shaun in the Winchester waiting for all this to blow over ever since Trump-man came down that escalator.


If Americans choose to fuck themselves over fine, but don't stop me for having a laugh about it.
We're living in historic times, might as well make the most of it and enjoy the circus.

Where ya from Nintex?

[shosta]

Dutch. Or is it Danish?

Shani should probably fuck off. Injecting Social Studies Warrior culture into the damn Olympics. Disgrace. Should be considered for being kicked off the US team or be banned unless there is a thorough apology.

[Mandark]

North Korea gets to run propaganda during the games, an athlete who only gets on TV one week every four years is allowed to be a bit over-dramatic when they feel snubbed IMO.

I kinda feel like that response/solution sort of, kind of, might be slightly mirroring the behavior you are evoking as a negative epithet?...Perhaps just a little

Love you Cindi

I’m curious how having the government figure out the logistics of sending food door to door for millions of people saves money.

Allegedly from planet earth in a country called the Netherlands.

I think the last line gives away the game(or at least where their head is at).

The plan would be to outsource the project to some private companies, likely for only a slight reduction in cost to the government, than the low balling company likely cobbles together the cheapest shit they can find to create a steady profit stream....that inferred delivery shit ain’t happening though(or any of this really).

Government program people will hate, but makes a lot of money for some private companies. Republicans get to advance their party’s life’s work of creating the worlds most expensive hollow state.

I'm sure someone will explain why the Porter thing is brilliant on Trump's part.

"Granted I'm not saying I agree with his decision to defend a wife beater but clearly Trump understands the #metoo movement has poisoned the well, and by standing up for an accused man, Trump is standing up for all men in a powerful way."

"I want to thank every sheriff in America. Since our founding, the independently elected sheriff has been the people's protector, who keeps law enforcement close to and accountable to people through the elected process," Sessions said in remarks at the National Sheriffs Association winter meeting, adding, "The office of sheriff is a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement."
"We must never erode this historic office," Sessions continued.
Invoking "Anglo-American heritage" seems to have been an impromptu decision by the attorney general. A written version of the remarks says that Sessions was supposed to say: "The sheriff is a critical part of our legal heritage."

That is correct. I had forgotten about that.

I also realized that the government will somehow just not actually deliver the snap food and let each state figure out delivery.

Red states will choose to have a single  SNAP distribution center centrally located and all the poor people will have to figure out how to get there to pick up the food.

That's not a white house pack of cigs?

[agrajag]

Here's a question. Why do Democratic voters never seem to be as galvanized as Trumpkins? For example, the Trump fanbase rallied around Nune's hackjob memo and made #releasethememo a trending hashtag on Twitter (with a little assistance from Russian bots). The Democratic counter-memo got cockblocked by Trump, and you'd think #theresistance would make a stand with the same fervor over the memo and make #releasethememo their own rallying warcry. Of course the entire memo business is stupid to begin with. I guess as long as they show up to vote.

Left's reaction to Trump seems pretty vigorous. Did you see how many views Keith Olbermann was racking up? I haven't been on Twitter in many years but I don't think social media noise is a good measure of how electrified people are, especially with spam bot mischief funded by state spy agencies.

Olbermann was racking up like 200-300k views, which I don't think is that huge considering he was a big TV personality. H3H3 videos break like 5mil views every time.

a year ago his series had racked up 150 million views, I have no idea what it's at now. I agree it's on the lower end of Youtube but, compared to whatever you've seen regarding #ReleaseTheMemo, I'm sure it's comparable if not more popular. Also I'm glad we agree that h3h3 is right wing propaganda.

[Mandark]

We've seen massive street demonstrations, sustained activism against Trump's health care and immigration agendas, and high turnout in off year elections.

I think people are fairly galvanized against Trump, just not particularly for the counter-memo. Which makes sense; the Dem memo is being presented to supporters as presenting context and correcting the first memo, the GOP one was being sold as evidence of an FBI conspiracy against the president, which is a bit more exciting.

[shosta]

"Street demonstrations". You mean feckless and ephemeral acts of partisan catharsis.

[agrajag]

But surely they can use Trump not releasing D memo as evidence of obstruction and make a huge deal out of it. Even "left wing liberal elite media" is kind of low energy about it, compared to the hysteria Fox drummed up about the Nunes memo.

[Phoenix Dark]

The memo won't matter to anyone outside of the liberal bubble, just as the Nunes one doesn't matter beyond the Trump bubble. I presume it'll simply point out the obvious inaccuracies we (and the media) pointed out within hours of the Nunes memo's release.

I mean, it's not posting on a forum, but it's something.

[Nintex]

The Dems build their base and party around their big super star Obama, then they tried to 180 back to the Clintons and it backfired. Without Obama they're left with nothing.

The GOP has played the long game with Fox News and now InfoWars. Just slowly tearing apart the fabric of space and time and winning local elections. However they always thought that the right conservative message could bring all the boys back to the yard.
They sure as hell wouldn't vote for godless, gun stealing, baby eating Democrats. But someone like Romney might just be conservative enough to get voted into office. Obviously that backfired too.

Trump and friends noticed that and decided to cut out the middle man.

It will matter when Trump uses it as pretext to fire Rosenstein, breh.

You fucking dick, states and cities/counties exist, and that's where the best work is being done right now. Not coincidentally, that's also where my work is (and I would never, ever want to work at the federal level, fuck that shit). Right now I'm working on a project developing a strategic budget for the use of LA County Measure H funds to reduce homelessness. Last year I did economic modeling work on Universal Pre-K proposals in a couple cities. What the fuck do you do besides bash private citizen etiolate on a message board with like 30 users?

Olbermann hasn't been a "big TV personality" since the 90s on Sportscenter breh. Maddow getting 2.5-3M viewers shatters all MSNBC records. Olbermann was routinely getting sub 1M viewers when he was a "big TV personality". That's as the core of the prime time hour of a network backed by NBC and GE. Considering he's been off TV for years and increasingly becoming more and more pretentious and obnoxious as he rants in someone's basement with a tricaster for fucking GQ's website, I think 200-300K views is pretty good for him.

[Great Rumbler]

Kelly seemed the most likely to survive against Trump's Dementor powers, but I guess there really is no defense against them.

[Nola]

IDK if it was a different Haberman piece, but that one seemed rather scathing toward Kelly?

Definitely hitting Kelly with likely knowing long before he claims to, but suggesting he may have even suggested Porter stay on even after he would of acknowledged he knew about the full scope of the allegations against him. That seems pretty damning.

On another note, this Christopher Wray testimony has been pretty interesting. Basically further adds fuel that Kelly knew long before he wanted people to say, and Wray has refused to say the Steele document is unverified, claiming he will only answer some questions in a classified setting.
