BIG HEADLINE posted:Today, we're all a little Buzzed: God willing one of these days there is going to be a book of pictures of all the looks of shock and incredulity from people standing or sitting in Trump's immediate vicinity right after he said something gobsmacking. I'm talking like Hillary Clinton at the debates, Megyn Kelly after after "Only Rosie", that dude at the Al Smith dinner, Lisa Murkowski, Buzz Aldrin, Justin Trudeau. What I'm saying is, I know how use Photoshop and InDesign. Hire me Random House. EDIT: gently caress your Dog Tax, I'm not even American

Rookersh posted:Trump has no idea what's going on in the USA. From his tweets, he is a great understanding of whatever Fox and Friends is talking about that last minute. If a another power apart from Russia, or a inside agent gave a bribe to the right co-host they could also control what his next tweet and order was. Probably wouldn't last long, he agrees with the last person he talked to.

TheBalor posted:No. The president is a prisoner in the White House. He is not allowed to leave unless the Secret Service approves it. He certainly doesn't go walking around anonymously.That's one of the silliest things in House of Cards: the idea that the president could just slither out of the grounds to do evil deeds unnoticed and unwatched. According to the hard hitting news television program Saturday Night Live ("S.N.L". to those of us in the know  ), Clinton used to jog to McDonald's all the time.It would be unethical for them to lie about that.

And I say this as a man who loves the poo poo out of the garbage KFC and Pizza Hut try to pass off as food I seriously doubt trump has done anything to feed himself other than tell a peon to get him food in at least 30 years.

Last week I obtained the board of directors list of the Committee for a Free Afghanistan from 1984 - Abramoff, Lozansky, most of the word anti communist league, and Paul Weyrich. Yesterday, I received Lozanskys book about lobbying the US on Russia's behalf. It was only published in Russian, but it blew my loving mind when I translated the last chapter and realized it was written by Curt Weldon.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Like there is literally an special investigation going on right now on his collusion with russia, there is public hearings about his obstruction of justice, there is multiple court cases happening about his financial stuff. Like it's totally possible none of that will go anywhere. But it's insane to act like nothing is being done about his crimes. Like the fact it's gone this far is in itself a really big deal. Even if the sadbrain assumption is he wins them all and wins everything that comes after forever. That's still not what people were saying though. And either you still don't get it, are retarded, or are playing retarded. Republicans aren't going to do poo poo. This is the same garbage that's been going on since before he was even the nominee and all his base did was worship him more. Even Republicans in Congress and the Senate that he purposely shafted still lick his boots. for gently caress's sake, McCain is still backing the guy. They might not like him, but they get their power from the party, and backing him keeps the party in power. They won't do anything to even try and kick him out so long as the people behind them are still cheering him, and they doubly aren't going anywhere since they voted him in on this garbage.

Shady Amish Terror posted:In fairness even most US citizens have a very cursory understanding, at best, of the powers of the president. The president also fulfills major diplomatic roles and has major military powers, and has fairly consistently been given more power and leeway in executing the functions of the job over time. All of that said, the president TECHNICALLY can't just declare new laws, yes, although even among administrations who weren't flaming shitheaps like the current one you'd sometimes see executive power being used in ways that really stretch a strict reading of the office's guidelines. The current president has a very cursory understanding of the powers of the president.

That sounds like a mishmash of political terms he heard. Why the hell would there be a term limit on lobbyists? They're not elected. You should have asked him if the same idea should apply to presidents. Maybe have a big council that regulates who should be president or not.

The media just can't help falling over themselves to write glowing pieces about Ivanka. Who is the only one in the family smart enough to keep her mouth shut about most things and gives mostly non-answers when asked about controversial issues. John Oliver did a good piece a month or two ago talking about this.
