The Politics Thread

[DRW50]

Sadly a lot of people will just see the "gotcha" selectively edited clips that were going around social media. 

 

Between the dumbasses in Congress and the increasingly reactionary and completely inept clown in the White House, I'm not sure we've been as impotent or as open to being completely left behind (and not in the Kirk Cameron way) as we are now. 

 

I have no use for Theresa May, but for Trump to go over during a visit and trash her at length - someone who is supposed to be his ally and who took huge heat for having him - is the epitome of the petty and pathetic mentality of just trying to smash all the toys all the time, simply for the hell of it. He has no plans (beyond what Putin tells him or what lines his pockets) and doesn't even make a token effort to pretend he has one now. He has never been more out of control, and this is just going to get worse and worse unless someone in Congress steps in.

P.S. the mob is back in NYC. 

Rudy didn't get rid of them all (as they probably guessed correctly that Rudy is corrupt now too and would be the least of their troubles).  

I guess the crime family that resides in the White House has only emboldened other crime families to re-emerge from their money-laundered hiding places.

Not only is he trashing May but he's also spreading his white supremacist, nationalist rhetoric.  Again.

which mob family? IMPO, all they did after John Gotti was go back underground where they always have been./

I read about this earlier but had hoped it was an exaggeration. I'm getting bad flashbacks to Bill Frist diagnosing brain dead people as cognizant video videotape.

His brother apparently hates him more than anyone else ever could.

Bonanno. 

My point is, they're not even bothering to stay underground, they're openly shooting people in the streets like they're the Corleones at the San Gennaro festival. This happened like two days ago.

 

EDT: I actually pulled the video because it's probably too graphic but if you want to see the footage, do a search and you'll find it. In broad daylight, no less.

^ I can't believe the victim survived that.

In the wake of all the unfortunate gun violence that permeates life in the U.S., hospitals have become much more adept at treating gunshot wounds over the years.

 

 

A busy day politically, to say the least.

^ I wish QE2 had completely snubbed him.

 

What a delusional idiot.

I've researched the Bonnanos. dangerous family. I thought they were all but down, and now they make their sorry statement. shameful.

Well, Trump wanted everything to go back to where it was in the '80's.  I guess that includes the Mafia.

[DramatistDreamer]

 

You mean the 1880s?  As in Gangs of New York?  Trump might consider the 1980s as still too progressive.

Meanwhile, I don't even want to get into what Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez - whose win I was pleased about - are doing in Kansas against Sharice Davids (who's endorsed by Emily's List). So I'll let someone else do that.

[DramatistDreamer]

Just starting to read up on this recent event.

 

Ocasio-Cortez would be well advised to focus on the NYC politics that she is better versed in and to not let her political associate lead her down the road to perdition. Because when sh*t hits the fan, the WOC will be the most likely to suffer any fallout, not Bernie.
