The Politics Thread

That tweet was clearly meant to intimidate Comey.  PROOF of obstruction of justice, end of story.

 

And why even bother unless the "President" is nervous about something?  Actions speak louder than words.

I WISHED you would have seen Jeffrey Lord get his head handed to him about 15 minutes ago. the other guest blasted him, saying if Trump told Lord his name was Richie, Lord would say "well let's discuss that", called the POTUS an outright liar and Brooke Baldwin telling Lord "Now Jeff....give us your reaction without naming any previous POTUS or admin.".

I saw that the Senate Democrats are criticizing the health care bill by having big cards that say "MEAN".

While I would happily vote for Susan Banks to be elected to the Senate or even the White House these days, I'm not sure I'd hire her as a marketing strategist.

We keep saying to dumb down the message. This is what that looks like.

i dread getting my hopes up.

I feel like this is theatre. They'll publicly oppose, get concessions in the form of amendments then go ahead and screw us.

[DRW50]

 

Fair point, but I feel like just calling it "mean" minimizes it. 

 

I guess it doesn't really matter anyway as anyone who doesn't already know how bad this is won't know until it affects them. And they'll probably still blame Obama.

I do believe there MIGHT be tapes, but he knows better than to release them because they would incriminate him not the other way around.

One of them will be that media whore Rand Paul most likely. He will likely cave if they push hard.

Are none of Trump's fanatics the least bit bothered that this man lies without even a second thought?  He is a compulsive liar and no one in the GOP who is in a position of doing anything seems to give a sh*it.  

I don't want to hear anyone from the Republican party mention a gottdamn thing about integrity.  They've all sold theirs.

I agree. They will all be bought off or pressured into complying. I hope not, but it just seems like that's how it goes.

[Khan]

 

Agree.

Take a look at the posts from the trolls in this thread and you have your answer.

He's a white man that's all that matters. He could be Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin, and their answers would be "Hitler was getting rid of immigrants" and Stalin was cutting back on the takers. Those 6 million under Hitler who were murdered and the 25 million under Stalin all deserved to die. As long as the stock market is up and the rich get all they deserve, that's all that matters. These are the same people who admire Trump for swindling hard working Americans, hiring cheap immigrants, sending his own products overseas to be made using child labor, and conning veterans out of 10's of thousands at Trump University. I just know they were laughing as the Capital Hill police dragged disabled protesters outside of McConnell's office out of their wheelchairs out of the building, many of them veterans whose own benefits are also being gutted. .

^ I think Hitler killed 11 million. I hope that doesn't seem like a nitpick.
