CNN reports Trump has made more than double the amount of tweets attacking the media than nice tweets towards the military and its veterans, so, of course...

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/881373634585079808

That timestamp, tho

Trump's so pissed and easily played. I'm sure he thinks those 20,000 bots immediately loving each of his tweets are real people, it fuels him, and that's loving dangerous.

Isn't that actually 100% wrong though? The president isn't the boss of congress nor does it imply that he's the leader of the party he's representing. The first one is enshrined in the constitution or whatever, and the latter: remember that it is the party that chooses who they want to represent their agenda. He's just another member of their party, albeit with a more powerful position.

Saying Trump isn't 100% wrong that he's the boss of the republicans is like saying "well technically the guy in the Micky Mouse costume is the boss of Disneyland."

the reasoning devin nunes gave for briefing the president on the investigation (which he shouldn't have done obviously) was that trump was his boss. the gop really doesn't understand how any of this is supposed to work.

So Paul Weyrich is a name that comes up in my own research as well. He is nuts-deep in connections to the Council for National Policy, ALEC, and helped promote Accelerated Christian Education behind the scenes. Needless to say I am very interested in seeing where your research leads Pillowpants.

You know he helped create Heritage, ALEC, CNP, International Policy Forum (basically a ghost org), Free Congress Foundation, The Krieble Institute, Coalitions for America, National Empowerment Television etc etc etc.

One thing you might be interested to know is that a lot of the big names on the right come to the defense of Weyrich immediately until I start throwing the Op/Eds he wrote with Lozansky at them.

It's probably a long shot, but some reps are working on an alternative to impeachment:

Luckily, it doesn't actually auto-launch the missiles, and if he tried to blow up the world, I'm pretty sure he would be "discouraged" from ordering such a strike by his military advisers and secret service.

Also, he has to READ the card. That fact alone makes me confident that he won't do it. :v:

REMIND ME AGAIN HOW THE LITTLE HORSE-SHAPED ONES MOVE?
This thread talks a big game but do any of us literally drive into Appalachia to beat up Republicans on the regular? This guy does.

quote:

When Daniel Harnsberger leaves his home on the East Coast and drives into Appalachia, he usually packs a T-shirt covered in Hillary Clinton faces and spandex wrestling briefs that say "Progressive Liberal."

That's his wrestling persona — and his costume. And most weekends, Harnsberger dons it to work in semipro regional circuits as a stereotypical coastal elite who trolls in Donald Trump country. (He sometimes also wears a shirt that says "Not My President.")

[...]

He was wrestling in a small town in West Virginia. As Harnsberger recalls, the promoter told him to "be the biggest heel you can be." That was easy for Harnsberger, who's always been a fan of wrestling heels — cartoonish bad guys whose job is to rile up the crowd.

So he took the microphone and brought some of Trump's campaign rhetoric into the ring: "I said, 'I hope Trump doesn't build a wall around Mexico. Instead I hope he builds it around this town so you people can't infiltrate the population.' And that got a heated reaction."

[...]

In character, Harnsberger tells crowds he'll take their guns. He says he wants to "reprogram" Trump supporters to make them favor renewable energy over coal.

"I know how you stupid Trump voters think," the Liberal Progressive says in one video for Appalachian Mountain Wrestling. "Allow me to illustrate: dur-dur-dur, I love coal. Dur-dur-dur, I love mountains."

[...]

And in the ring, he finishes off opponents with a move called the "Liberal Agenda" he described recently to Sports Illustrated:

"It's just a cross-arm neckbreaker, so if I'm standing in front of you, I'm grabbing each of your wrists, crossing your arms, then twisting you for a standard neckbreaker. I call that the Liberal Agenda so then the announcer says, 'Oh, he hit him with his Liberal Agenda!' "

There's a follow up clip with Trump on the receiving end of a Stone Cold Stunner. Someone should photoshop Mueller's face over Steve Austin's and tweet it to him. That would probably hasten the speed run a bit.
