One can hope that making GBS threads on Romney with little to no effect will show that Trump is a toothless loser with waning influence.

Wishful thinking of course

Romney could successfully install himself as King of Utah if there was some extra-constitutional means for him to do so. Not every Republican Senator has the same luxury with their constituents.

the cowboy myth

It is pretty amazing that the right pushes the cowboy myth over and over again and people swallow it whole. The idea that you are an island, no one has ever helped you and you, sir/madame (but hopefully sir) are the ruggedest person to exist is so antithetical to how this country formed or how how people operate.

Let’s all conveniently forget that his message while campaigning for others was to treat the election as if he was on the ballot.

Now the last time the GOP defied Trump en masse was the govt shutdown. He was down to about. 39% approval rating at that time. He’s currently hovering around 40. Now a lot of people were directly affected by the shutdown, but I’m wondering if we won’t see some of GOP come out against him while not explicitly supporting impeachment. Just speculating.

Speaking of a Shutdown I’m totally expecting Trump to refuse to sign a budget to shutdown the government again in an effort to hamper impeachment.

Seriously, we shouldn't be rewarding the President for sounding like a "normal" person in a conversation. I think that being praiseworthy says more about Senator Graham than anything else.

I have no idea what Trump thinks, but the vast majority of his base has no idea about anything technological, so this is something they can "understand", even if that understanding is completely wrong.

Finland is most definitely a real country and not a practical joke that the rest of Scandinavia has been perpetrating on the rest of the world to hide the fact that we have access to the Hollow Earth and the Atlantis/Mu remnants found there. Furthermore, any suggestion that we have made alliances with the inhabitants of the Hollow Earth and have been facilitating their exploration of the surface by passing them off as 'Finnish' is laughable on its face, staggeringly irresponsible, fantastically calumnious, slanderous, and not to mention a serious affront, and - quite frankly - a grave and despicable insult to the national honor of the Scandinavian countries.

I just don’t understand the UK. The nation is on fire and they have their own mini-Trump trying to wreck everything but the overall attitude among the electorate is to still by a healthy margin support the political party propping him up AND combined with an arguably worse one in the Brexit Party who are literally the Leopards promising to eat your face.

If I understand right the biggest problem is both big parties want Brexit more than they don’t, and no one can agree on a deal except that there can’t be no deal.

The opposition leader is widely disliked but instead of replacing him with someone who can actually win an election the left wing of the Labour Party just wants to yell “absolute boy” and deny reality.
