Some pages back, but out of curiosity I checked the unemployment rate before the last 3 months of each presidency (the election year's October): Clinton: 3.9 (-3.2) Bush: 6.5 (+2.1) Obama: 4.8 (-4.2) Hopefully Trump's first and last 3 months happen to use the same month for the figure.

Also Michael Dubke is out as communications director, which of course is something you do at 7AM at the start of the work week. Sean Spicer survives for now.

Oh they're laughing, Donnie. Just not in the way you think they are. Like, I seriously can't imagine what it must be like to be a Russian spymaster in the last few months. How can you not just be positively glowing with joy with a massive spring in your step wherever you go, whistling a jaunty tune as your adversaries do a better job of sabotaging themselves than you could have ever dreamed of doing on your own?

Fulchrum posted:You do understand that "war ceiminal" has an actual goddamn definition, and doesn't mean "he didn't immediately disband all levels of the us military and then hand Iran nukes", right? Apoplexy posted:Yeah, I'm not Obama's biggest fan, but he didn't do anything but continue with poo poo Bush started. If he'd ceased all drone warfare and attempts to stamp out terrorism all throughout the Middle-East, there'd have been repercussions. The kind that Americans wouldn't accept, as opposed to 'dead foreigners' So pursuing a war criminal's policy, expanding bombings into Yemen, striking civilians and civilian targets there as well as in Syria and Pakistan, is all perfectly okay and not criminal at all. All right then.

But it's a moot point, no one will ever capture US Presidents and try them for their crimes, and obviously no US President is ever going to try a predecessor because duh that would make it too risky for the current prez to commit his own favorite war crimes.

THey just don't see any problem with that. The Republicans seemed to go off the deep end some time during 8 years of Obama. I saw a lot of people fawning over Putin because he's white and Conservative and badass and shirtless and Christian unlike Obama. I even saw a few people threaten to move to Russia after the gay marriage ruling (of course they didn't.) I totally wouldn't be surprised if they're still in that mindset even now that they're in control edit: I suppose that isn't entirely incompatible with being fully aware of the fact that they're selling out their country though
