    The face of the Republican Party, folks.  This is what you love and wholeheartedly support when you pull the lever for the (R).  

    Professional wrestling is fake too. It was reality tv before reality tv was a thing. The kind of people who believe it's real are exactly the kind of people who would fall for Trump's bullshit.

    I still wonder how many of his followers never heard of him before The Apprentice and truly believe he's the character presented on that show. I'll bet the percentage is significant. 

  2. Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation all make their tax returns public. Donald Trump refuses to. 

    If you conclude that Trump is clean but the Clintons are dirty then you are seriously one dumb motherfucker. 

    They'll never investigate the Clinton Foundation because they know there's nothing there. If they did investigate, they'd come up empty, and it would remove the power of the threat of an investigation as a means to rile up their base of ignorant rubes. They know that. If you don't then you're a sucker.

    You probably also thought N. Korea would denuclearize or that there was ever a chance we'd go to war. Try to recognize political theater when you see it.

    This.  Trump is just a wrestling heel.  His aura is born of interpersonal drama and rivalry.  He needs an enemy that is viewed as his equal, a counterpart for an eternal struggle.  If Trump isn’t fighting the other team’s champion, he’s not interesting and he’s not a hero (or antihero).  He’s just a loudmouth yelling at air.  

    It's a reality tv show presidency. Recall that he reportedly told his staff to treat his presidency as a reality show where every day he "vanquishes his rivals." He's just approaching the presidency the same way he approaches his personal business -- with fakery and bullshit.

    Not only is TRump not that smart he is a micro manager and nothing happens without his okay.

    Did he attend the Trump Tower meeting? No. Who did? Manafort and a pair of capos. Yeah, he knew about it and it had his okay. But he kept his distance so he could deny knowledge of it. What will tie him to it are the phone calls from Don Jr. immediately before and after. 

    Trump doesn't use email. He tweets but I've never heard of him texting anyone. My money's on Kushner.

    Individual 1 is far more likely to think he could communicate privately. 

    You think waaay too highly of Kushner. And Manafort wasn't a made man in the Trump family. He's not dealing directly with the boss on most matters. He's dealing with a capo so the boss has plausible deniability.

    He is reacting to Tillersons interview with Bob Schieffer from CBS on Thursday night. I can't  link the tweet but he calls him undisplined and that he wouldn't read any briefs. It was pretty damning. He also mentioned that many times he had to explain that he can't do this a certain way because it would be illegal. Somebody google CBS this morning to see it if you haven't yet. That's what set Trump off.

    Yep. I caught some of that this morning. I guess we can conclude that, when Trump proposes something that's illegal or in violation of treaty, Mike Pompeo doesn't raise the same objections.

    Does any R have the balls to attempt to primary him? 

    Nikki Haley, potentially. John Kasich has talked about partnering with a centrist Democrat to either challenge Trump or start a new party.

    Horseshit.  The GOP has run a successful 30 year campaign to make Democrats not just wrong, but literally evil.  Like preachers saying or implying that voting dem is a sin. Like catholic churches threatening to withhold communion from democrat politicians. When you consider the opposition literally evil and sinful it's justifiable to "cheat" and to rig the system against them. Not justifiable, but morally imperative. Because they are up against actual immorality, actual evil.

    The result is that a compulsive liar who doesn't care about church and who has had several marital affairs is a fucking hero to evangelical christians. These people vote in droves. There aren't any swath of dem or even moderate voters who are going to fix this. Dems should have won the Senate and taken a larger majority in the House. There should be several more dem governors. But that didn't happen. Because white christans came out in droves to vote against actual evil. The dems don't have that type of emotional plea and is why we are heading towards theocracy, which will apply to libruls, but with lots of wiggle room for "true conservatives," because their moral flaws aren't real or can be ignored, cause "conservative."

    Thanks, Reagan.

    That’s some pretty pathetic victim card playing there. So you’ve got an alky friend eh? Boo fuckin hoo.

    Having Buzzrock for a friend would probably drive me to drink too. 

  10. Holy Shit. I remember when Santa showed up at my house when I was five. I knew it was somebody in a Santa suit, I never knew who. I think it was my uncle. I sat on the laps of a few Santas in shopping malls when I was a kid. I knew they weren't Santa either. I was making out a gift list for my parents. I knew who was buying them. I knew Santa wasn't real before I was ever told. That happened probably when I was six.

    Eleven or twelve? Man, I'd be concerned.

    Does anyone else find it incredibly creepy that Dotus gives a shout out to Ohr’s wife in one of his morning shit tweets?

    As if his pussy grabbing and father/daughter pics weren’t enough.

    Typical Trump. Also, he got her name wrong.

    I know, but we need him off our planet.

    Nah, wrap him in plastic and leave him unattended on the ground in Puerto Rico. Provide free rolls of paper towels for people to toss at his remains.

    And if any of those farther right candidates pull it off, they could easily go down in the general election.  ANd they will be heavily outnumbered in Congress   

    When nothing happened after Sandy Hook, I thought the NRA and their friends were untouchable.  But Parkland, Sutherland Springs, And Vegas generated a lot more buzz than I expected.  Particularly Parkland. 

    The NRA and GOP could support some common-sense things that might head off some shootings.  Maybe Bubba doesn’t get his bump-stocks anymore or his 30-round magazines.   Maybe Cletus loses his guns a lot easier because he came into contact with law enforcement/mental health professionals.   Nope, the NRA gonna NRA.

    One livestreamed mass shooting where kids are begging for their lives or crying for mommy as they are murdered, and the house of cards comes tumbling down.  

    I wish I could share your rosy outlook. I'm more pessimistic. If Alex Jones didn't get immediately banished from public attention after he declared Newtown a hoax, I have a hard time being anything but cynical on the subject. We all watched the survivors of the Parkland shooting get labeled as "crisis actors" and then the status quo get maintained in the last election.  

    I don't know if a school shooting will ever get live streamed or, if it does, how many people could see it live whether it's because they don't hear about it in time or lack the wherewithal to view it. I'm not sure if there's a point in discussing the technical aspects behind something like that happening but it would probably have to be the shooter(s) broadcasting from body cams. If you didn't happen to catch it live, I'm not sure any more reputable media outlet would replay the video let alone Fox News, the favored network news outlet of right wing gun nuts. 

    If Newtown didn't shock you, I'm not convinced that video of all those little children getting gunned down would make the difference, especially when there's going to be someone there to tell you it's fake news. And I don't think, if it did happen, that Wayne LaPierre and Dana Loesch would respond in any way other than to say the solution is more guns, and how it wouldn't have happened if there was "a good guy with a gun" there to stop it. You know damn well where slorch and his ilk would stand on that divide.

    She wasn’t a spy.  She was a monkey wrench.  Her purpose is to sow chaos, to cause controversy and undermine institutions, to drive the partisan wedge deeper.  

    That’s my theory anyway.

    She's not a spy in the traditionsl sense where she's undercover in a clandestine espionage operation. But she's still an agent of the Russian intelligence services employed in an influence campaign funded and directed by the state. She should be treated like any other foreign spy.

    And then the NRA and the gun manufacturers are going to find their friends in Congress are not returning their phone calls or trying to protect them. 

    And then those congressmen will get primaried by farther right candidates who do return their calls. And accept their campaign contributions.
