He's also like making it his life's legacy to burn every possible bridge and close every possible door that might ever exist to ever "reaching across the aisle" or whatever.

Like I hate W and I hate that the Obamas like him and that SOME people might think he's a better president now that we've had a worse one. But I'm not a loving idiot so I can see HOW that's happening because W actually tries to charm people and play nice and how Trump is the very antithesis of that so arguing that he's gonna do the same thing W is doing is just loving stupid.

Like even if you SINCERELY believe that nonsense why in the hell would you directly invoke the dude getting rehabbed BECAUSE he's not Trump as the reason why Trump will do it too? How bad of a persuasive argument could you actually be trying to make?

It kinda broke me.

Well Zimmerman did rack up quite a few legal troubles that probably burned through any "welfare" he was getting. So he's probably not the best case study.

I think he's a good case study because he was on national news for weeks and weeks and did make windfall by writing books and promoting products and going on things as a guest and even then it still remained 15 minutes of fame.

The fact that being the evil rightwing shithead gets any sort of financial support in this country is disgusting, but people on these forums go wildly crazy about the concept as if anti-george soros mails these people a paycheck every week or something instead of it being a short exploitable burst, and people try to work it into their nothingmatters worldview so they can claim that even when someone is fired or disgrace or ousted that it's actually a win for them because fox news will be mailing them millions any second now.

How Donald Trump will be remembered depends almost entirely on the results of the 2020 election.

And unlike most people, I don't think it will necessarily be another blue wave. It is definitely possible for Trump to decide to put his support behind M4A for example, given the fact that it is a popular idea even amongst Republicans. If the Democrats play it smart, they can make the whole thing about him and his legacy, and use that to convince him that "Trumpcare" can be what Obamacare failed to be. And passing M4A would, in the long run, make a lot of people forget Donald's current awfulness, imo.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ, we already know Bush II is an affable dolt. It's no surprise that anyone you put him in a room with ends-up liking him. Add to that the Bush and Obama family's experience in the rarified air of life during presidency and you've got the plot for The Odd Couple all over again.

The only way Donald gets rehabbed is if we elect someone even worse than him and he doesn't look so bad. That's what happened with Bush II.

I'm kind of terrified of what kind of man could make Donald look like he wasn't so bad.

oh, I have EXTREMELY terrible news for you about the future, Rigel.

what is Donald Trump's approval rating with Republicans.

what, here and now, does the Republican Party stand for.

and do you remember the Caravan.

the Syrian refugee crisis was just the start, you know. brutal civil wars, and the resultant refugee crises, are only going to intensify as climate change kicks into high gear. starving people riot. starving people fight. starving people flee. there are going to be millions of desperate people from both within and without. and the absolute best case scenario, as we see it right now, is that there will only be around a billion of them before we get back on a more stable footing.

twenty, fifteen, and eight years from now, Trump will be the new Ronald Reagan. because he gave his people something to believe in, that can assuage their terror of the foreign hordes. sure, there was a laundry list of scandals and of embarrassments. but dammit, he gave them the idea of the Wall. the pure, perfect thing that will solve all of their problems forever.

Donald Trump's Wall is going to be something Republicans run on for the rest of your life.

because for the first time in your lifetime or mine, a president connected with his base on a visceral level. and unfortunately for us, the republicans got there first.

Agreed. This is on the same level from a few months ago when that dude got punched in the face after leveling racist attacks at a black man who tried to walk away, ultimately defending himself after white guy tried to hit him. Said white guy freaked out.
