The Politics Thread

Sickening, but totally not surprising.

I wonder if Roberts has any regrets over his monstrous destruction of the VRA.

I have been reading about the sheer number of registered Democrats that have been voting early and by mail outpacing Republicans. There's a chance that Republicans, freaking out from Trump's rhetoric, are waiting until election day but normally it tends to be Republicans who usually vote by mail in higher numbers.

   

It just looks like each of them are willing to, not only tank the other man's chances, but bring down the entire GOP, if he thought it would save himself. Only the most right-wing economist believes that the U.S. has a chance to rebound and rebuild from this with such an austere stimulus package. And make no mistake, austerity is what McConnell and Senate Republicans are proposing. 

 

It's unlikely that anything gets passed before Thanksgiving, if that. If Trump ends up a lame duck on his way out, there is no incentive to even negotiate until January, with a new Congress and God willing, a new president.

I realize that SNL got Tiffany's movement tics on point.

Chloe Fineman and Alex Moffat are very very funny (with Mikey Day as their straight man). Probably the only thing of worth out of this Presidency.

Trump did it the last time too - there are pictures of him with the gay flag around his back.  They have no moral bottom to what they will try and pull.  Gay flags, rainbows, and then the first move he made was to try to ban Trans people from the military - over 30,000 of them and say that he consulted with the Generals.  LOL.  No one gave him advice and he would have eliminated 30,000+ people with no plan to replace them or the jobs they do.  The whole family is a bunch of desperate reality TV ogres.  Warms my heart though to know they won't have anywhere to go once it's over.  NY doesn't want anything to do with them, and his beloved home in FL - many of the people are over him.  I know several people in upper circles in NY that have told me no one returns Ivanka and Jared's calls and they are out of the group now.  Ivanka in particular always marketed herself as a Democrat and she's a liar.

I feel like the Trump family is trolling Mike Pence here.  ;)

Trump himself has switched party affiliation numerous times over the years. It’s never really been about party affiliation with him. He’s opportunist and saw a weakness in the Republican Party and how far right-leaning it’s been over the last 25+ years, and used that as an excuse to highjack it for his own personal gain.

 

If the Republicans lose their majority in the Senate and Trump loses this election, they really have no one else to blame. They’re clearly going to have to move in some other direction as this election is more of a referendum on Trumpism that anything else.
