"Ex-Bush and Whitman adviser: Trump won’t be impeached, but he will leave the presidency in 2019 "

By Alan J. Steinberg

"Alan J. Steinberg served as regional administrator of Region 2 EPA during the administration of former President George W. Bush and as executive director of the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission under former Gov. Christie Whitman."

Of course this is not gaining traction at all, but it does lay out a possible out for the poo poo smear. Predictions abound in the piece, but yah what are gonna do about it? It's nj.com! Right?

Given his history with Viet Nam I would expect him to fake a heart attack and retire claiming victory.

Likewise. I'm not sure exactly why it's happening, but my best guess is they had a look at what's going on in the UK with Corbyn and Labour, where we've had a small number of very real antisemitic incidents in the party used by the media to create a narrative that Labour is institutionally anti-semitic, and the Dems are seeing there's nothing you can do which is sufficient. The only response is to attack bad-faith bullshit right back.

No idea, but it’s pretty disturbing peeking at what they’re talking about only to see a Trump echo chamber and the subsequent complete pushing out of anyone LGBT or non-white. The amount of bitching about SJWs there is interminable.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Rich Uncle Chet posted:

Games are a medium with (relatively speaking) very high cost of entry whose original market was young white men, and whose original and most powerful producers were young white men. The medium and its market design has evolved over time to cater to and reward increasing levels of myopic obsession. They also emerged and developed into this design state alongside internet media that strongly enabled the same insularity and epistemic closure.

Decades of toxic masculinity, an industry that basically treated itself as a boys only club, and Trump being the perfect storm in giving them a focal point to rally around and an environment to spew regressive hateful views about an industry that is currently undergoing a pretty massive culture change.

That's such a weird read to me, because thanks to the 8bit era and Nintendo my association with video games definitely had a space carved out for recognizing the input that the Japanese market and developers had.

That probably would have been way different if I were older and started with Atari, Computer games or Arcades exclusively.

I didnt really cede the idea that Games were run by the Japanese until, like, the Xbox era...

The Republicans in the Senate are too much of cowards to impeach him, but he’s screwed once he leaves office
