"Republicans freeeeed the slaaaaaaaves"

And the Democrats killed the Nazis.

No no no democrats and liberals ARE Nazis wake up

Trump going in on Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake this morning on Twitter. If he can burn the GOP down with him, maybe this will all have been worth it.

PayPal has agreed to removed at least 34 organizations, including Richard Spencer’s National Policy Institute, two companies that sell gun accessories explicitly for killing Muslims, as well as all accounts associated with Jason Kessler, the white nationalist blogger who organized the Charlottesville march, according to a list provided to the Post by Color of Change, a racial justice organization seeking to influence corporate decision makers.

Trump two years ago:

"I think they should put it in the museum and let it go," Trump said of the flag during an appearance at his new golf course in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. "Respect whatever it is you have to respect, because it was a point in time, and put it in a museum. But I would take it down. Yes."

I watched some of Tucker Carlson's show for the first time last night.

• Is that his actual listening face or is it something he does on purpose?
• Compared to O'Reilly he's not bad at interrupting his guests
• The segments are way too short. With seemingly 2 minutes per story all that you can do is reinforce somebody's existing assumptions
• The way abortion was talked about was really shocking to me.

In my head canon Sarah Huckabee-Sanders was grown in a vat, Serpentor style, using the combined DNA of Bernie Sanders and Mike Huckabee.

Emails sent by a racist uncle as a guidebook for the executive branch: A 4 year case study by Donald Trump

[benjipwns]

He's been telling this story for over a year and a half so far and it's somehow gained 10 years of terrorist protection in that time
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/02/20/trumps-story-about-killing-terrorists-with-bullets-dipped-in-pigs-blood-is-likely-not-true/

“You know, I read a story — it’s a terrible story, but I’ll tell you,” Trump said. “Should I tell you? Or should I not?”

As the crowd cheered him on, Trump told them about Pershing — “rough guy, rough guy” — who was fighting terrorism in the early 1900s. Trump didn't say where this happened, but variations of this story online usually state that it happened in the Philippines during the Philippine-American War — part of the island nation's protracted battle for independence — early in Pershing’s career.

“They were having terrorism problems, just like we do,” Trump said. “And he caught 50 terrorists who did tremendous damage and killed many people. And he took the 50 terrorists, and he took 50 men and he dipped 50 bullets in pigs’ blood — you heard that, right? He took 50 bullets, and he dipped them in pigs’ blood. And he had his men load his rifles, and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said: You go back to your people, and you tell them what happened. And for 25 years, there wasn’t a problem. Okay? Twenty-five years, there wasn’t a problem.”

At one point in telling this story, Trump said: “By the way, this is something you can read in the history books — not a lot of history books because they don’t like teaching this.”

[Joe Molotov]

Here's one of the history books that you can find this story in:

Conspiratorial types think he's not a fucking idiot burning it all down here but diminishing the power of the legislative branch in order to consolidate more for himself. I'm not sure being a fuckwit on twitter accomplishes that.

This paper fucking DRAGS the media for their election coverage. Goddamn.

Get fucked, username.

LMAO. You are so fucking adorable, let me skim this...

"When focused on Trump, major substantive issues, primarily immigration, were prominent. Indeed, immigration emerged as a central issue in the campaign and served as a defining issue for the Trump campaign."

No shit, really? You mean the fucking thing I compared British Exit with is what got Trump Elected? *gasp* Guess I'm not "fucked" after all, Jack.

*skimming skimming skimming* Yeah, nothing here is new, Jack. Where is this mysterious thing where I'm fucked? "But her e-mails!?"

Couldn't. Give. A. Shit about the media coverage. I'd still dislike her over that shit. Just like the cops that used their personal e-mails for work-related shit (and I wish I still had that news link but I wiped my history yesterday so it's lost to the void) to avoid FOIA shit.

Because I work for the government, that sort-of-shit (using personal e-mail to avoid FOIA requests) bothers me. So Clinton still wouldn't have been voted for by me because of that alone.

Ambit Creative and Daniel Dennis Jones should be infected with syphilis for the garbage design of that Harvard paper, I'll allow the writers to defend it being 123 pages long off of a dataset with three variables in front of my panel before deciding their disease injection fates.

Whoever thought they should put that same unreadable version of the web on multiple pages is facing SPACE SYPHILIS charges.

It's almost Friday! You know what that means? Any bad news story they want to bury will be put out late Friday afternoon. Any bets on if anyone in the Trump admin resigns this week?

Kelly seems to be the only one  with some sort of self respect I can see resigning but it feels that he truly wants to be Trump's nanny until the end. The rest of them are too brainwashed or too shit scared. Maybe they kick Bannon out, but all this show has been from Trump alone.

[seagrams hotsauce]

lol @ the idea of trump ever resigning

[Cerveza mas fina]

I don't even see him getting impeached because nobody cares about anything anymore.

Turmp is a fucking teflon cracka.

I don't think there is anything that would stick to him if you consider the things he has already said and done.

[chronovore]

lol @ the idea of trump ever resigning

He'll resign if impeachment is near so it'll be a kind of "you can't fire me, I quit!" kind of moment.

That fat ass who thinks exercise will deplete his human battery? Yeah, he's going to have a fucking heart attack, and then quit when faced with his own mortality.

[Joe Molotov]

Ivanka Trump fake human

lol @ the idea of trump ever resigning

You know though, it's not that crazy. Giving up and declaring victory totally seems like something he would do. For him to be like "wahh! republicans wont work with me! and people are mean to me! I tried America but I'm just too good for you." Totally seems like something he'd do.

[Joe Molotov]

"Sources" are saying that Bannon is out. It's the New York Slime, so could be fake news.

[Dickie Dee]

I could maybe see Trump rage-quitting.

But he would never resign as a consequence of some scandal. He'll just keep doubling down.

GAF is really hopeful that Bannon/Breitbart will go full #resistance now, but something tells me that's not quite what's going to happen. He will likely go hard against Kushner, Kelly, McMaster, etc. and push his agenda like he has before, but still be favorable towards Trump just like all the other ousted cabinet members have been.

There are some great comments on the Breitbart article about the Bannon thing.

FCKU Jared Kushner -- FCKU Ivanka you BIATCH!

This administration is dominated by Democrats & Neo-Cons
Gary Cohn --Liberal NY Democrat
McMaster --NeoCon General
Powell --Hillary Clinton ally
Kelly --another NeoCon General
Pence --eRINO --MAKE NO MISTAKE Pence got rid of Gen Flynn which got this shitz going.

But, JARED KUSHNER brought in Cohn & opposed Bannon.
Him & his FCKG WIFE IVANKA!

This is likely but it feels that Trump at least cares a little about Kushner and Ivanka to be irritated by Bannon (not mention that about be upstaged). Feels like Bannon is also overestimating Breitbart as a megaphone, given that the Murdochs seem to hate his guts and most stableshiment republicans are probably not happy with him.

The guy is like Trump, a fringe shit talker that is actually better in promoting himself than working.
