Well as long as no robot takes my job as the foreman at the coal mine once Trump gets it back open I don't care what Amazon does!

The election was what convinced me to swap professions instead of going into my PhD in religious studies. Just doesn't feel right to stay in pure academia when there's a likely tide of suffering incoming.

skylined! posted:guys what if petr is right and the president with the lowest approval rating this early in his administration who can't do anything aligned with his cabinet and can't control himself on social media and by all accounts is a complete loving moron and is likely being manipulated by foreign governments and who can't help himself from committing obvious crimes directly in front of senior government officials actually really becomes god king emperor and rules america for 1000 years of golden piss darkness Don't get me wrong, it could be done. BUT, that would require him to listen to and take advice from the "peons" below him, keep his mouth shut, stop tweeting, and basically stop being the world's orangest rear end in a top hat.

Fire him when he refuses to get someone else that will follow me instead of law" That's it, all of it. SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Jun 10, 2017 |

Ah, the mythical "pivot". I've heard tell of this event, in whispered rumors and idle gossip. It begins with a declaration from the media that in this moment, finally, Trump has become President. There must be a second step, but none of the scholars have identified what it is.

There's nothing ironic about that. That's one of the many reasons why coal mining is an outdated remnant of the past. Unfortunately republicans have a weird obsession with bringing back those lovely times.

Presumably, the kid's surname isn't hyphenated, so its a nice nod to his mom's side of the family. If my wife's maiden name worked as a first name, I'd be down with using it as a kids name.cant cook creole bream posted:There's nothing ironic about that. That's one of the many reasons why coal mining is an outdated remnant of the past. Unfortunately republicans have a weird obsession with bringing back those lovely times. They have no intention of bringing back coal mining as a viable employer for coal country. Rather they value the imagery as a means to an end of less regulation. The ironic thing is that large chunks of coal country were built on the back of massive infrastructure development under Roosevelt in response to the industrial revolution making a a shitton of old jobs obsolete. So now they vote against even the slightest possibility of the type of program that made the American dreams of their grandfathers because there's a chance that dreaded others might also benefit. I think ultimately the diversity of the mature American economy has prevented a sufficiently massive and sustained depression where enough of the country is willing to chance a new, new deal.

Captain Invictus posted:like that flooding where the cleanup would require what, like 560 million dollars, and he offered 2 million. that one that has already happened? Nah, i'm talking about a major city getting completely decimated, Katrina scale. That was bad, but not the kind of national scale bad that put George W. Bush in the ditch. Admittedly, much like Bush got a boost from 911 that I don't think a comparable event would give Trump, there's not quite as much mushy middle for Trump to lose in a Katrina event as Bush had. But it would nonetheless hurt him, and he doesn't have as much approval to lose as bush did then, either.

quote:The slower phase-out is designed to insulate incumbent Republican elected officials from the public backlash that is sure to ensue. By the time the cuts take effect, the vote to enact them will have been long past. Indeed, Republicans may not even control government at that point. quote:Republicans have a very different belief. They have no confidence the public will like what the law does when they see it. Instead they believe the opposite, which they have confessed with shocking bluntness. “I don’t think this gets better over time,” said Republican Missouri senator Roy Blunt, a member of leadership. “This is not like fine wine, it doesn’t get better with age,” admits Lindsey Graham. Guess the Senate GOP knows its bad but feel forced to put it out, and is just trying to slow down the eventual backfiring.

Captain Invictus posted:Another thing is that trump is not going to get better. This isn't George bush, he's not an actually smart guy playing dumb, he has a fundamental lacking of how the government operates at even a basic level. The longer this goes on, the more disastrous it will be for him and the gop. I wonder if they know they're utterly hosed either way, and are going to just now go all out on ruining everything so democrats take the blame when they get in office. "both sides are bad" seems to be thier only way out without being utterly crushed.

Tengames posted:The republican party has to know that sticking with trump is only going to get much worse, but they still havent completely turned on him. They must really think turning on trump will either turn the base on them completely, or just utterly split and destroy the party. You can kind of see this by them trying to assassinate Comey's character indirectly because they don't want anyone to actually have the conscious thought "whom do I trust not to lie more?" because that sentence spells doom for the GOP in the long run. Their voters right now believe they will do the right thing.

They're just lovely and have gotten away with being lovely for so long that they don't feel the need to be particularly transparent about it. That's it. I have no idea how deep Trump's Russia ties or or where those ties lead elsewhere in the GOP (if anywhere), but you honestly don't need anything more than "Republican politicians are human garbage" to explain their behavior.

It could just that they're all assholes who no longer even care about the veneer of improving things and just fine being explicit about looting the country to give their rich friends and donors more money Like, when Bush tried to privatize social security, he atleast pretended it would improve things. Same with medicare part d, it improved some issues while being a giant corporate hand out at the same time.
