That is true and that person is a sociopath as well as monster. Especially since it just says a Twitter troll, and not a racist, or sexist

White people have all the Republicans, this is p well known

I think it also shows that they think nothing good is getting done, and blame the people who are most part of "the process" for this, hence Mitch and Pelosi having the lowest numbers, other congresspeople like Warren and Ryan having bad but ok numbers, and political "outsiders" like Sanders and Tillerson having the highest numbers

I still maintain Pence's high numbers are due to decorum Republicans using him to justify their Trump votes and nobody else giving a particular poo poo about him.

I'm super relieved actually to see Bannon having numbers that low, should be -100% of course but I could say that about a lot of those people

in my sitcom-level understanding of baby care, I open up the dirty diaper, see the situation inside, roll my eyes and hit the diaper button a good five or six times

Trump is a disaster and Pence is staying out of sight (and out of the country) as much as possible. He's benefiting from the same effect Obama/Biden are, but kinda pre-emptively: because he hasn't actually done anything, he's getting the benefit of the doubt from white people who are desperate to try to find something good about Republicanism (there is nothing good about Republicanism). Similarly, because Obama/Biden are way out of sight right now and aren't actively doing anything awful, people are remembering them much more fondly.

This is why it is absolutely imperative that the Democrats unfuck themselves, because whenever the Republicans finally get around to getting rid of Trump (either through removal or through primarying in 2020) Pence will be a much much tougher enemy. If the Democrats are still running on their whine-about-Russia centrist-garbage platform then they will be annihilated by the Pence Republicans.

If I had to guess, if you've ever bought diapers on Amazon before, figuring out what kind you want would not be difficult

and if you've never bought any diapers on Amazon before, (a) why are you using this for that use case in the first place then, and (b) whatever, it'll just pick some with high ratings or something, they've got plenty of data on what kinds of diapers people like.

It could definitely send you "sponsored" diapers instead of the actual best kind, which is bad, and it could also ask you follow-up questions like "hey is your baby a boy or a girl" fairly easily if it doesn't know already, which is good, but I promise you it's not gonna be just sending you the shittiest possible diapers it can find or a book entitled "diapers!" or a picture of a diaper on 8.5x11" paper or whatever you're afraid will happen

Here's what's going to happen: Trump will be ejected from the party and the Democrats will be suddenly caught flat-footed, scrambling to find an actual platform and message to run on because they've spent so much political energy and time messaging that Trump is a traitor to the country (which he is) and no time at all figuring out what to do after Trump. They will lose mucho elections.

I don't think they're gonna scramble. They're gonna take Trump's ejection or impeachment or whatever as a huge victory, hang a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner, and take this to mean that they'll win every election because the stink of Trump is all over every Republican, and not bother doing anything else. Then, they will lose mucho elections.

we're eight months into this hellhole of a presidency and Trump's net favorability is still better than Ryan and McConnell

they don't dare defy him. he could personally murder one of them with his bare hands and the other would praise him for it

there were people who were just financially broken by that, moved back in with family members and were never able to move out on their own again, or just slipped into the homelessness statistics

there were a lot of other people who were financially hobbled by gas prices who haven't been able to recover because they had to load themselves up with so much debt to pay for living expenses that they can't actually afford to pay it off and are living paycheck-to-paycheck and spending most of their money on debt payments

double the cost of gas and things get real bad real quick for a lot of people
