I have horrible diarrhea now, thanks Flake

[james]

Why the fuck do we not get snap polls anymore

[agrajag]

Republicans must be fucking fuming right now. This will drive them to the voting booths for sure...

[Mandark]

Oh wait, that's a little too optimistic. I'll just be mad online with Mandark for another day.

When Kavanaugh gets confirmed it'll be like Punxsutawney Phil seeing his shadow: six more weeks of mad online.

People slobbing on flake after he did what kavanaugh did.

Is it ok to throw up at work? Does bile clean out of keyboards easily?

The odds of your coworkers and / or subordinates reading posts in Demi's Home for Wayward Posters with No Vocabulary, let alone on a regular basis, is pretty low. Don't fret!

[Coitus]

If this stall tactic works, it might actually work out for the best.

Think about it. Democrats are so scared of being viewed as obstructionist. If Kav ends up getting rejected and Repubs try to ram through some milquetoast conservative judge before the midterms, some Dems will most definitely will feel inclined to vote for him out of professionalism and desire not to appear partisan. They're soft like that. So the best case scenario for them is to be in a Kavanaugh limbo until after midterms where they hopefully can pick up a couple of senate seats.

No way McTurtle lets the vote linger until after the midterms.

[agrajag]

It might not be up to McTurtle if he doesn't have the votes.

Oh no, Trump might be caving slightly, he probably read my post. Fuck.

"I thought her testimony was very compelling and she looks like a very fine woman to me. A very fine woman," he said. "And I thought that Brett’s testimony likewise was, really something that I hadn’t seen before. Incredible. It was an incredible moment in the history of our country."

Man, this has to be a wake up call that Trump needs to find a synonym for "really good" that isn't, 'incredible'. Pronto.

Look, while refund anticipation loans are technically payday loans it doesn't make me a payday lender if I offer them.

Conservatives act like the original sins in the modern history of the court are the confirmation hearings for Thomas and Bork, but as far as I can tell neither faced unfair scrutiny at all. It gets me angry.

Trump played this one pretty smart.
Before the hearing he said that the witness might change his mind
During the hearing he had something like: "I love this, great television" leaked to the press. He even delayed meeting Rosenstein.

After ignoring a dozen or so letters from Democrats he now ordered an FBI investigation. Which leaves three outcomes:
A. The FBI doesn't find anything new or conclusive
B. The FBI comes up with something that torpedoes Kavanaugh
C. The FBI finds some evidence that completely clears Kavanaugh

In scenario A or C, Trump gets to say 'Fake news', 'Democratic Witch Hunt', 'Phoney accusations just like they're doing against me" and Kavanaugh is confirmed.
Leaving Democrats battered and defeated after such a long fought battle. Not to mention under scrutiny for their behavior should C occur.

If B is the reality Trump gets to say that he believed the witness, called for the investigation and saved the day or did exactly what the senate and public wanted.
While at the same time riling up the base because a SCOTUS seat is on the line.

with such a short time to investigate and the fact that his happened ages ago I expect A is the more likely outcome.

this whole thing could have been over a lot sooner. all the dems had to do was get obummer to endorse kav, then boom, trump drops kav immediately.

That narrative only lasted for a few weeks. The liberal reetards on reddit gave 120k fucking upvotes to that gif of the war criminals having fun together and now they're back at being angry at the neocon piece of shit.

How has it come to this? Liberals weren't geniuses before but they did have some basic common sense, now they're pretty much at the same intelligence level as the average braindead redneck while maintaining the same holier than thou attitude they had before.

I don't understand how there can ever be peace with North Korea if they refuse to denuclearize. Seems impossible and I can't think of any other nuclear countries we have stable, peaceful relationships with, except for China, India, and Israel France.

[Nintex]

So who's dictating Trump's foreign policy? 

Paul Manafort
Mike Flynn
Rex Tillerson
Jarreeeedd!!!
John Kelly
McMaster
John Bolton
Mike Pompeo

Political cartoonist: *draws Trump kissing/in bed with/marrying Putin*

Me: "Using images of gay romance to criticize Trump's corruption is an appeal to homophobia and you should try to avoid it."

Trump: "Kim Jong Un and I fell in love."

Me: 

[agrajag]

So can someone like Benji who knows the inner workings of the FBI explain this? NBC reported that Trump limited which witnesses they will interview and Trump claims that report is incorrect. Per the DOJ policy they do not make public commentary on ongoing investigations. So the public won't know what's going on until they complete the background checl? Or can a senator find out and make a stink about it if Trump is lying?

Bernie Sanders Voters Helped Trump Win and Here's Proof

[shosta]

Blaming the 10% of cross party sanders voters who voted for Trump, which is lower than the 15-20% of cross party voters Clinton who voted for McCain might I add, seems less prescient than blaming the 100% of voters who voted for another Republican proto-fascist.

[Nintex]

Maybe it's far more simple.

Donald Trump and the Republicans are the McDonalds of politics.
It's shit but you know what you get: Guns, tax cuts, flags, muh religion and a big military.

Donald Trump is obese and so is most of America.

The Democrats would be far more successful if they kept the social issues shelved until after the elections when they're actually in power.
Sure veggie smoothies are more healthy but burgers sell better.

[Nintex]

If we can't get Nintex banned, can we at least get a 140 character limit on his posts

Trump went from: "Bomb North Korea" (Big Mac) to "I luv Kim" (McSalad).

His followers gobble it up in as long as it is McDonalds.

There's no political movement easier than heading to an arena, saying the news is fake, getting worked up about the Libruls and cheering whatever dumb shit Trump says.
There is no real ideology, you don't have to support or think about any policies, only 'things' like 'flag' and 'wall'. They just head to McDonalds to stuff shit in their faces.

Obama tried to teach people some hard lessons. "Your unhealthy job is not coming back and you should probably find something else to do" but Trump says: "Do you want to work on computer widgets or do you want to keep mining coal?"
In other words: "Do you want to learn how to eat healthy or just eat Big Macs until you die of heart failure?"

I'm guessing Kanye read the "except as a punishment for crime" part of the 13th Amendment, and thinks it established prison labor, rather than abolished chattel slavery.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Assimilate would still be able to contribute to this forum if he was made a leper, but I fucking know Nintex wouldn't be able to and that's why it's the perfect punishment to hand down to him.

That just stops the user from making new threads, right? It's been so long I don't remember.

They can only post in threads they started is how I remember it.
