Obama was very shrewd and able to play politics well. It’s just that his 4D chess was drone-striking kids and deporting people.
Well, also being able to play politics well isn't enough when half the government is literally working against you out of naked spite...

Oh I guess I didn't get why claiming Trump isn't mass murdering foreigners is supposed to be joke, he obviously is.

I guess it was just a weird attempt at absurdist humor

"Sarcasm." The word you're looking for is "sarcasm." It predates absurdism by quite a bit.

Yet he applied all his savvy and skill toward finding ways of doing those things that didn't upset the apple cart, ie maintaining a collapsing status quo that required those things but which is now imploding into naked oligarchy without the velvet glove.

What you mean of course is doing those things the absolute least a modern president can.

Good thing that Trump replaced the status quo. You must find it so much more preferable.

He could have not deported people and he could have not blown up weddings with drones. He chose to do them in a way that was as invisible as possible rather than not doing them. Why draw this false dichotomy between Obama and Trump? That Obama could have been a better president does not mean that Trump was the only alternative to the Obama who was.

My god these people are loving stupid.

Yes, super genius Iron Patriot Trump is suddenly going to have these grand trials against all of the Deep State, when the man doesn't know most of the laws he has currently violated, and can't color in an American flag properly.

I am continually amazed that after all that has happened in the last week these dumbasses still have some unshakable faith that Trump is the 4d chess master, when it is becoming increasingly clear everyone is throwing him to the wolves, and the man can't do anything besides yell on his phone like a petulant baby.

The crossover to "the Rapture is coming, no really guys!" For the past 200 years Evangelical fuckwits and the qultists must be quite high. How stupid and out of touch do you have to be to not notice your "messiah" is mentally retarded at this point?

It just makes it all funnier to remember that the stories about harvesting adrenochrome from kidnapped children come from people taking Hunter S. Thompson seriously.

It comes from some 1950s wrong medical science where the idea that schizophrenia was when your glands were making adrenaline wrong and making you high all the time and people going "I want to eat that and be high all the time!"

I am not sure Thompson would be amused they believed him on that and not the rest.

Not always so
“Senator who announced he stopped treatment and is ready to die, will be in headlines”

I have no idea how legit the time codes on those are, but it was apparently posted at the same time he died. Barring time zone fuckery I guess. Odd that the post above it specifies EST, but that one just says 7:28. Never seen one that had seconds enumerated too sooooo.

I've known enough relatives who died of cancer to know that yesterday when he was refusing any further treatments that it was close to the end. That is typically code for the doctor telling the family the treatments won't even do anything at that point, let the person try to die peacefully.

So "predicting" McCain would die shortly after that is like "predicting" a thunderstorm is coming because you hear thunder.

I like the dichotomy that Trump is both the far-seeing head of an all powerful secret state apparatus (tribunals that investigate and execute senators in secret) and that Trump is also the victim of a farseeing all powerful state apparatus (the deep state).

Neither of which is visible to the casual observer but both consisting of all the elements of the visible government.
