The CEO of the company I work for sent a pretty pathetic email about how they want to remain "part of the conversation and have a place at the table" as an excuse for not leaving Trump's CEO panel. Apparently there was so much negative feedback that he sent out ANOTHER email 5 or 6 hours later with the same bullshit but acknowledging the outrage hehe. I don[t know what these guys think they are gaining getting in bed with Trump and his band of Nazis....

Who knew that all the NRA had to do to drive up gun sales was trot out the KKK instead of making more weird fascist videos. They've just opened up an entire new market of scared liberals!!

Listen to the guy that said buy a baton and hit a rubber tire every day until your arm doesn't hurt when you do it anymore. You can carry it concealed and it IS a deadly force weapon that is unlikely to hurt someone you aren't intending to hurt (including yourself) and getting very good at hitting something with a stick is a lot easier than learning to shoot accurately. You don't need to be a martial artist to hit someone who's trying to hurt you with a stick.

We've also seen that mace is super effective against nazis and again, unlikely to seriously hurt someone you don't intend to.

Jon Stewart was right, your country needs real journalists again instead of the talking head pundits squaring off against each other 24/7. Alternatively John McCain also has a point about how the country should just be saying to hell with these people right about now.

I think it's premature to think this will be Trumps downfall. We're still in the hosed-up "Honeymoon" period of this controversy. There's still time for the public and all officials to just magically stop caring.

It's very unlikely that this incident alone will be his downfall, but it's still a significant addition to the ever growing pile of fuckups that he's been accumulating. Republican politicians are continuing to distance themselves from him, and his approval ratings are in the toilet. A sudden downfall would be best, but a continual weakening of his administration is still a very good thing, and makes impeachment or electoral losses much more likely in the future.

what we know so far:

— though supreme court justice roy moore is expected to get the most votes, but not 50%. the big question is whether luther strange, mcconnell's pick, manages to make it to the run-off or gets overrun by mo brookes.
turnout is extremely low, so results could be all over the map
some rando with the name "robert kennedy jr." has a good chance of winning the democratic nomination due to his name, but no one has any idea who he is
