Good, then I can finally put this silly "bourbon is better than vodka" thing to bed with all my friends. (Just kidding, they're both great!) I really hope Don Jr. loses his cool but I'm not holding my breath. At this point just another outrageous event isn't enough to derail things. He'd have to say or do something that does damage in an almost surgically precise way. (The Pee Tape would be the best outcome imo: it won't get Trump ousted, but it will completely neuter him in the eyes of the entire world. He remains in place, ineffectual, "cucked" by his own image and thus we avoid Prezzy Pence. I am bad at politics though so maybe this is not the best option, it just makes me smile.)

I wonder if Trump Jr is dreading the day that Trump leaves office and asks him to fill him in on how the family business has been doing the last 4 years. "Mar-a-Lago is doing great and our DC property is fine, but WHAT THE HELL, Jr? All of our other hotels and golf courses are loving empty and losing money? What did you do?!?" What do you say to that? Do you dare tell him the truth?

Trump ran a hell of a lie for a campaign, and there is a certain bravery in admitting that you got duped. And admitting they were wrong about Trump doesn't mean they no longer support Republicans. Trump doesn't exist in a vacuum, he is the human-form of every terrible Republican idea and policy. I guarantee that old woman will continue to support the Republicans if she lives long enough to vote again. Crows Turn Off fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Jul 19, 2017 |

They think *other* women should listen to their husbands, and they, personally, should get all the freedoms that feminists have fought for, like the right to vote, go to university, divorce, and use contraception.

evilweasel posted:Sideways was an atrocious movie and I never understood why it was popular. I think the simple answer is that there just aren't that many movies about people that are 40. There is billions of movies about being young and disillusioned and a reasonable amount touching on being 60+ and disillusioned but not very many about being in the middle of your life and disillusioned by it. Make a movie that resonates with a certain cohort and it might catch on with a lot of people. It's not literally the only movie about being sad and 40 but there is way less "sad and 40" than "sad and 25" or "sad and 65" movies.

Party Plane Jones posted:Turkey (as in, news media controlled by the Turkish government) leaked the locations and numbers of US troops located at 10 specific US bases in Syria (which also house French troops at two of them). Turkey really, really wants to murder all the Kurds and don't even try to hide how much they hate anything that helps those people. If the US were to pull all support for the Kurds I'd give it a year, tops, before Erdogan starts invading Kurdish areas and murdering everyone even if he wouldn't try to expand Turkey's borders while doing so. That he happens to be a religious extremist as well doesn't help. The people who revolted against Erdogan should've shot down his plane when they had the chance. farraday posted:https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/887671308636614660 The guy who GOP leadership 'joked' about being owned by Russia is... owned by Russia?  If the guy didn't come across as human garbage I'd hold out hope that he's actively playing Russia while working with US intelligence services but nothing about them suggests they have ever been smart enough to pull that sort of thing off.

What I love about Trump's bullshit is the transparent false precision. Like "60-70%" according to the CBO monkey inside his brain. Or like how there were "3-4 million" fraudulent votes. Or how repeal and replace would occur "within a day, but most likely within an hour". Like, even if you weren't a loving imbecile, you wouldn't be able to make these claims with any degree of accuracy, and we all know it.

Al Borland Corp. posted:The funny thing about Hannity's "lock them in a hot room until they have a deal" approach is it wouldn't work. Maybe they reach a deal. Then you have to schedule a vote and schedule proper floor time, etc. Also, they've had seven loving years to come up with an idea that doesn't basically amount to "gently caress you, work harder or die in the street". No need to lock them in a room. They couldn't even work with an idea that was, at its foundation anyway, the state model of their previous nominee for President before Trump. They don't have any ideas beyond a punitive approach to EVERYTHING. Just whip people more so they work harder. That's it. Full stop. Lewis Black once said "we have 2 parties. The party of lovely ideas and the party of no ideas". Took me about 5 years to figure out which was which.
