Members DeeeDee Posted May 17, 2017 Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 Trump isn't going anywhere. The GOP still need him as a shield to push their draconian laws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted May 17, 2017 Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 If it were just up to the Congressional Repubs I'd agree with you but the global IC and law enforcement (FBI/U.S. Marshals) are out for blood and that was before he decided to piss off Mossad. He's leaving whether it's in a Trump plane, handcuffs or a body bag. You're right. I was wrong. I was thinking "independent" prosecutor not "special" prosecutor. Apparently Donnie can order Rosenstein to fire Mueller and if Rosenstein refuses than he can fire Mueller himself. I have to believe that most people in the administration know that would be the equivalent of 45 shoving a hand grenade up his own ass but we're through the looking glass so anything is possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted May 18, 2017 Members Share Posted May 18, 2017 My dream scenario involves Comey and Yates testifying side by side and fist bumping with a flourish after every response to a question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted May 18, 2017 Members Share Posted May 18, 2017 One of the best things I learned from the podcast was even assbackward West Virginia has auto voter registration as do 38 states/and a commonwealth or two. Such a simple and reasonable solution for so much. Im thinking of just going to churches and nursing homes and personally volunteering to drive registered voters to early voting sites. I always try to vote early in West Virginia. But I have to drive to my county seat, which is cross county. Even worse. To renew my driver's license I have to drive 45 miles. Life in rural America. I can only imagine how daunting that must be for some people. It's just inconvenient for me. It's a Herculean task for some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 18, 2017 Members Share Posted May 18, 2017 Back during the Jowars I could never have imagined the day I would like something you wrote as much as I love this post. This just makes me want to meet you at Rodi's for an O'Douls or maybe we could share a flan in Angel Square.

Members DRW50 Posted May 18, 2017 Members Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) I don't really mind Jimmy Fallon (I don't watch his show but I didn't before the Trump interview either - I just have a limited tolerance for man-children), but that whole thing reeks of damage control and makes me cast a wary eye yet again at ever-corporate NYT. If, as they repeatedly (repeatedly...) said, nothing has really changed that much and things will go back to normal with Fallon on top (and I think they're probably right), then why all the tortured justifications? Lorne Michaels defensively saying that Fallon = Carson doesn't work, because Carson had a very sharp edge. Yes, his comedy was middle-brow, but his delivery wasn't. Fallon just seems like he needs a nap. And I never thought Leno was in the middle of political comedy. Whenever I watched his monologues it was Clinton-bashing night after night, week after week, year after year. And I never even liked Clinton, but it still stuck out. The staged photos also made me laugh, especially the one of him walking to work. And this: “No one would have thought, even two years ago, that we’d be in a climate where the Republican candidate for president would be too divisive a figure to have on ‘The Tonight Show,’” she continued. “But here we are. Did the show figure that out a beat later than the rest of the world? Maybe. But I don’t think the blame lies with ‘The Tonight Show.’ The blame lies with the hateful rhetoric of the candidate.” This is BS. Trump had said heinous statements a year before that interview. And he just kept on saying them. All the late night shows coddled him, and most of them now admit it. Tina Fey should not handwave this.

Members rhinohide Posted May 18, 2017 Members Share Posted May 18, 2017 Lol. I've loved you for years. Your Bernie hate made me temporarily reconsider, but I remembered that such differences are temporary. You're good people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
