It's going to be interesting to see someone's head explode when you have to tell them that no, we can't impeach Hillary because she's not in office.

I know we point to all this fox stuff and other fringe stuff, but even the hard core trumpets who would post around my circle have gone silent in the last month or two.

I feel like fox is desperately flailing at this point. And now that the trump camp hates McConnell and Ryan their heroes seem to be Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan who are back bencher go nowhere’s if there ever were any.

I’ve stopped worrying about what they say about Hillary and such because I think a huge amount of people have stopped listening.

Some of it is flailing but HRC still plays for a lot of people. Even my Obama-voting, Hilary-voting FIL said when we got in the car at the airport “Did you see how bad Hilary’s approval rating is? I wish she’d just go away.” What?? The hate for her is unreal.

Oh god I want them to push chips in on Devin Nunes only to have him get primaried by a less retarded republican in his district.

I don't think a dem would win it, although who knows, but Nunes is a loving embarassment just on a competence level, I can't imagine any R voter going "Yes, I want Nunes over X" in his district. It's in california, but it's one of the parts of california we don't like to talk about because it's full of farmers who thought getting rid of all the mexicans was a good thing and were shocked by how many of their farmhands were illegal. Those people don't really change.

I'm not sure if the Nikki Haley thing is that bad. It sounds like she was just trying to get someone off the phone.

"Yes, I have heard about that, sure we will look into it, thank you, goodbye"

He's so god drat stupid. How does he not get that the one thing he should never ever loving go near if he wants the military to like him is their traditions and honors? A huge part of military tradition is to separate it from the presidency so that individual soldiers are loyal to the constitution and the idea of the country above all else. It's to make it so a shithead like trump can't just purge the military of a few key people and order it to make him dictator for life. There's a reason their oath is to uphold the constitution, and they take that poo poo seriously.

To put it into some perspective for people who don't have family members in the military and how seriously they treat this stuff, this is worse than when he stood up in front of the CIA's memorial and started talking about the fake news media being mean to him. At the very least then they could say "Well, he just didn't know it was a memorial." With this, he's taking a personal poo poo on the decorum of the military. Again.

It's because he wants them to be loyal to him over the constitution. He's like the knock off version of a strongman dictator, which fits with the rest of Trump's life of being a conman poo poo.

Is he still polling well with the military? If him making GBS threads on that widow less than a month after her husband died didn't sour them on him I don't see them caring about this.

American traditions and decorum honestly aren't worth much since it turns out people actually don't really care about any of it once someone decides to just take a crap on them and not be apologetic about it.

He polls well with the military because of Mattis. They tolerate his near constant making GBS threads on their traditions and loyalties as long as Mad Dog is Defense Secretary.

Anecdote but normally a trip home for the holidays involves Fox News on the TV in the background for hours at a time.

This year it made an appearance for about 10 seconds. As soon as the commercial ended and my father saw they were talking about Hillary the channel was changed.

Edit: instead it is things like "where are the Christmas Story actors now?" which I'm not sure is an improvement.

I thought I read somewhere he polls well with the average soldier but less so as you rise up the ranks.

E: In regards to political ideology of the military, Rosa Brooks book How Everything Became War and the Military Became Everything has a great section on why the military tends to be so conservative, in sum a lot has to do with the fact that there is simply more room for large military installations in the South, and thus at outsize number of enlisted are drawn from those areas

It seems like everything I had taken for granted as being a monolith of procedure and tradition and orthodoxy has been revealed over the past year to have been just so much fiction.

The CIA, the world-spanning all-seeing agency capable of overthrowing empires in secret? Turns out they're just some guys in an office scribbling on a whiteboard. FBI, the ones mythologized as UFO researchers and paranormal investigators? Some two-bit lawyers and politically connected corrupt cops.

NSA? Apparently just a bunch of techbro idiots who install Russian keyloggers on their laptops and take their code home with them.

Senate and House, well they were always comically corrupt, but now we know their idea of lawmaking is cargo-culting their way through a bunch of semi-archaic language and spending most of their time trying to get a stack of paper printed up in the right dumb-looking font.

Supreme Court and federal judgeships: now less about cartoonishly evil intellectualism brought to bear in doomed defense against a changing society, and more about boorish sycophants and people who don't know the first thing about legal procedure skating their way into high-profile appoinments where they'll just make underlings do everything or whatever while they collect paychecks and pad their resumes.

Military tradition? Religious moralizing? we've seen what those are worth. Nothing compared to not having to say you hosed up.

And the White House? What it makes me think of more than anything else is a small clueless company, a big building dangerously underpopulated for the amount of rent they have to pay, whiteboards on every wall covered with drawings of dicks. Half the lights off all the time. Break rooms out of coffee. Mid-level VPs shuffled in and shuffled out, spokespeople trotted out in front of cameras to issue non-apologies and pugnacious legalistic challenges against reality. It's like every vision I had of the White House as a shining piece of hallowed ground, a working historical mansion any of us could tour, has been mortgaged into a less-favored booby-prize version of Mar-a-Lago, the place where the boss goes when they tell him he has to be seen "working". This isn't the place where in the sixth sub-basement there's a shielded war room with 30-foot TV screens showing live satellite views of every political leader on earth, this is the lovely office you're trying to move out of because the pipes clank and the wifi sucks.

I don't know, I feel like if their goal was to deflate the stature of "The United States Government" in the public's eyes they've done a bang-up job of it, even if completely inadvertently.
