Robot Hobo posted:The most inspiring part is that the Republicans have effectively all the power, nobody else's say really matters, and nobody can really stop them from doing what they want... Yet they still managed to turn this into a clusterfuck entirely on their own. Louis Black once boiled it down succinctly to "there's the party with lovely ideas versus the party with NO ideas." Sometimes I get confused figuring out which is which. Al Franken too had a similar moment of brevity a while back (before he was in office) along these same lines that "Republicans run on the platform of 'Government doesn't work' and then, when they get elected, they prove it."

Actually, that take is literally no deeper than giant douche vs. turd sandwich, and as such is at best completely worthless and at worst actively harmful. Not franken's, his is very correct

Arrgytehpirate posted:What are the rules on snail mail donation request? Can I register a group and ask for donations and say it'll be used to spread the groups agenda? Which will remain vague and undefined in the letters but make it sound scary and pro-Trump. Then I can just shitpost on /r/td and say the money went to spreading my groups agenda. Or a good way to end up in jail.

"And then I was like, 'Are these things actually real?'" I am glad that even though the press secretary has changed, Melissa McCarthy could just keep the role.

Covok posted:I fear you may be right. I really really hope you aren't, but I learned the folly of such thinking after they blitzkreiged this past the house when all of our pants were down. Well, with the house bill they could make the argument "it doesn't matter what's in it, we'll fix it when it gets to the senate", but now they can't do that anymore. The bill is still bad and they still don't want to pass it and they can't agree on how to fix it. If passing it was really that easy they would have done it already.

He knows he's talking to a gay man, and thus needs to assert his heterosexuality so that nobody thinks that he caught it. Trump logic at its best.
