Here is something to take the edge off Trump Human rights are inconvenient: Theresa May. http://www.bbc.com/news/election-2017-40181444 quote:Theresa May has said she will change human rights laws if they "get in the way" of tackling suspected terrorists. Great move, that will show them you're the second coming of the iron lady by destroying your own country in the name of terrorism.

Can we just loving cut all the internet lines coming in or out of russia at this point?

I'm imagining Trump walking in on a frustrated, hectic meeting on healthcare. He blurts out "THE WALL HAS TO HAVE SOLAR PANELS." Silence reigns for a moment before one frustrated lawmaker looks up from the 2000th attempt to revise AHCA. "We'll get right on that." Donald walks out, satisfied, and 3 minutes later the room has forgotten that he was ever there.

If we had a loving competent president who was not totally whored out to Putin, we could actually do something about it. We'd be talking sanctions and a global backlash, but we have the cheeto nazi in the white house, so nope. Of course, if Russia didn't own the white house, they may have not been this bold.

Russia plants fake news articles to break the US away from their closest non-Israel middle east ally Then “During my recent trip to the Middle East I stated that there can no longer be funding of Radical Ideology,” Mr. Trump said in a morning tweet. “Leaders pointed to Qatar — look!”

There's a solid chance he just dies, or the stress accelerates his family tendency toward dementia. Old people die, even rich ones. What I mean is that'll the fact that he got elected in the first place suggests that the next terrible candidate the right runs will also win, because this is the bottom and they can't do worse. Not that specifically Trump is going to run for a third term
