the department for energy which controls all the US nukes has been completely gutted of everyone who knew what they were doing lol

This is a long-term trend in all federal agencies because of hiring and pay freezes. The older workforce is retiring and nobody new is joining to replace them.

Trump's just accelerated the process.

So I figured it out:

Trump's approval ratings will continue to fall while his administration moves the status quo further right. Then they will run Flake and Corker in 2020, and the republicans will stay in power while claiming a return to sanity. An absolutely nefarious scheme plotted by McCain and friends.

unless his heart has exploded or his brain has turned into a soup, you gotta account for whatever Trump would do in that scenario.

Whatever, if all the republicans see that this is the way the tide is turning, they will just impeach him

The Republicans impeaching Trump would be good because it would split up the base. The radicals can't survive without the moderates, though I'm sure I'd be proven wrong.

Still, given all the idiotic poo poo he's done so far, Trump would have to accidentally nuke Florida or something to get impeached by them. Even then, they'd find a way to spin it as good for the country and accept Puerto Rico as the new 50th state as Florida would be sold to Mexico for cheap to pay for the wall.

"There's been a lot of news, not many have seen this, lot of news about Mr. Weinstein. And let me just say, there are 2 sides to every story. He is of course a predator who preyed on many beautiful women. Many. And we've all read the stories about women being grabbed, being forced to perform sexual acts for jobs, and being pressured to not speak out. We've read and reread those stories, many many times. And we've read every detail and really enjoyed reading them, because let's face it folks, good stories!

The simple fact is that many of these stories are fake news. It is well known that over 86% of rapes are fake. A woman's body is able to fight back against rapes in many cases, and can in fact grow thorns or teeth to repel an invader. My own wife Melania, who is right here *points at a coat rack* has repeled me many times with those teeth. "

A Democrat think tank goes deep into Trump territory to interview people there, learning... absolutely nothing.

The report surprised me when I read it. Despite the great variety of views the researchers and I had heard on our tour, the report had somehow reached the conclusion that Wisconsinites wanted consensus, moderation, and pragmatism—just like Third Way.

quote:

The researchers I rode with had dived into the heart of America with the best of intentions and the openest of minds. They believed that their only goal was to emerge with a better understanding of their country. And yet the conclusions they drew from what they heard corresponded only roughly to what I heard. Instead, they seemed to revert to their preconceptions, squeezing their findings into the same old mold.

lol, enjoy Hillary 2020.

quote:

Yesterday, a group of black leaders made that quite clear in a special press conference on the steps of the Supreme Court. Tired of hearing the LGBT community compare its experience to the real suffering of the civil rights movement, church and civic leaders decided to speak out about why Jack’s case matters. FRC’s Dean Nelson and FRC Action’s Patrina Mosley spoke, sharing deeply personal stories about the pain and prejudice their families experienced over the color of their skin. Patrina talked about how insulting it is to hear LGBT activists equate their “persecution” to generations of African Americans.

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. called his brave volunteers an army, Patrina said, but “an army whose allegiance was to God… it was an army that would sing but not slay… no arsenal except its faith, no currency but its conscience.” That currency is for everyone. Let’s pray the Supreme Court agrees. For more on the movement to support Masterpiece Cakes, check out WeGotYourBackJack.com.

jfc these post-election "safari" pieces are loving poo poo for two reasons:

1. They miss the point entirely. They call it a "safari" for gently caress's sake, the implication being that "flyover country" (5th paragraph) is full of animals, or some sort of "anthropological journeys" (8th paragraph) by "researchers". The entire exercise denigrates people who aren't Coasters. You're not trying to learn some political truism about your fellow american, you're a scared tourist trying to assuage your own feelings of fear, isolation & vulnerability on your terms.

2. They don't understand that they've lost these people already. A lot of it is economics (NAFTA, globalization, a 2,000 mile South Asian supply chain, etc.), ethnicity, and the insecurities of both. Endless wars, the opiod epidemic, and Right-Wing propaganda screaming for blood for decades in the ears of an elderly dying white regiment convinced they have all the answers. Unless you can figure out a way to solve for that we are hosed.
