Harrow posted:I'm starting to reach a point where I feel like Nothing Matters, but not in a political sense. I just wonder why the gently caress I'm trying to do anything at all in my daily life because it's all going to poo poo anyway. Why bother working hard at my job or trying to start a new career when the whole country's going to implode and our government is making goddamn sure that we're going to do as much irreparable damage to the world as possible on our way down. Do anything where you can enjoy THE PROCESS, no matter what the result is, and which allows you to remain healthy and stable enough to do it as much as possible.

But it's not religion itself that is the problem, it's the particular strain of selfish and intellectually incurious pseudo-Christianity that's endemic to the US. No religion is without its flaws, but this strain is indeed one of the worst ones. Why you feel like you have to defend the concept of religion here? Nobody said anything about religions being bad in general.

Trump is Joffrey, a spoiled, stupid, sadistic brat who should never be in any sort of power, but fails upward into it because good is dumb. Ivanka is Margaery Tyrell, who everyone thinks will moderate Joffrey but just enables him. Bannon is Ramsey Bolton, who is against all odds worse than Joffrey and is able to unleash true horror due to unexpectedly coming into power. Chris Christie is the original, book-only Reek, and Jeb! is Theon/Reek. Comey is Jaime Lannister, who did some terrible things in the past but is now beginning to regret his role in setting up the new dynasty. Kushner is Cersei maybe? Clinton is not the avenging Danaerys Targaryan we thought she's be pre-election: married to a horny tyrant and usurped by a charismatic outsider (Obama/Robert Baratheon), only to ride in on her dragons, kicking rear end and taking names. Turns out she's Ned Stark, who got screwed over because he stupidly had faith in the goodness and honor of people who have constantly shown that they are not to be trusted. How do you be Hillary Clinton and expect a single Republican to side with you? Alternatively, Clinton can still be Danaerys, but she's where she is in the books currently: Lost in the wilderness, her city besieged from without and within, crapping herself to death.

"Lewandowski says turmoil in White House communications staff is partly because Trump is too ‘articulate’" President Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski says reported difficulties in the White House media operation are the result of Trump’s exceptional communications skills, which make it hard for his staff to keep up with him. Lewandowski’s comments followed the announcement that Mike Dubke, Trump’s director of communications, was resigning after a few months on the job. “I think Mike was brought into a job not having a pre-existing relationship with the president,” Lewandowski said on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday. “And you know when you have a president who is so active, who is so articulate, who is so good at communicating with the media, sometimes you get staff that have to keep up with him. And it’s much easier, I think, if you have people who have a pre-existing relationship with him.”

Stop making GoT references to politics. These people are their own people and have their own lives and reducing them down to characters in a book limits our understanding of them.

So after the evidence becomes too damning and impeachment proceedings begin is the Trump legal teams only valid defense going to be sheer incompetence? Like would the admins defense team makes the argument that Trump didn't know he couldn't tell Comey to stop investigating him? Would something like that be enough to keep him from getting impeached? Because that seems like an argument that won't work for Trump simply due to his inflated ego. I can't see him publicly admitting he has no idea what the hell he's doing even by new president standards.
