i get it, i just dont think it will work because that depends heavly on trump being able to not gently caress up the message and the media not being the sharks they are and not smelling the blood coming from the sinking SS trump.

Yeah at some point "both sides" stops being the more compelling story than Trump's Great Implosion.

I think this is why we may avoid a shutdown: the people surrounding Trump will tell him that his already precarious position with “a majority” of the public wanting impeachment will definitely become “a vast majority” when they come to blame him.

Also that’s a super good saying and I’m stealing it because it describes 99% of the open climate change deniers I personally know.

They won't tell him that because the last people who *would* tell him that were fired about six months ago.

Even if someone was around to do so, one of trump's favorite hobbies is making GBS threads on polls that he doesnt like. He would reject the polling that says it would be a bad idea as fake news.

this. its part of the reason trump wont get the redemption arc that so many monsters in the US get. he is a dumb rear end in a top hat who just keeps digging his grave and than pisses on and hurts everyone else and if he is thrown out or loses the election he won't chage and will probably get worse. the reason nixon/the bushes/etc and others got redemptions is because they either "did enough good" or because they just rewrote history, trump wont do either. he is the perfect rear end in a top hat to use as an example in history classes to show what a dumb/bad leader is.

I honestly believe Trump thinks most people in this country like him, not just his base. His reaction to being booed, and the sudden realization that a stadium full of people loving hated him I think genuinely shocked him.

Though I'm sure he came away convinced that the Nationals are a team only for leftist elitist and the rest of America still loves him. So yea a shutdown is still very real.

Every other president tries to be an "Elder Statesman" after leaving office and follow decorum to the max, which our media loving loves. See W's rehabilitation.

However like you mentioned Trump can't shut the gently caress up so he's going to be even more of an unbalanced turd if he loses re-election. He is psychologically incapable of decorum.

I think the original saying was related to racism and the Civil Rights movement/integration, but yeah, I first heard it in regards to global warming deniers.

Edit: I'm wrong, actually. Upton Sinclair said it in his book about his governor campaign where he pushed for worker rights.

Reports are that the GOP is either trying to get Vindman to either admit he knows who the whistleblower is(he doesn’t) or get some potential names on the record for when the hearing transcripts go public.

Because poo poo Christians need someone to feel superior to in their imperial style version of Christianity.

If this were about anything other than control, there are so many other healthier ways of reducing the numbers of abortions. They don't give a gently caress though. They don't want reduction. They want a full stop even if it causes massive suffering because of their demented, authoritarian style version of Christianity.

At one of the most vulnerable times in a woman's life, they revoke sovereignty over her body. If they were serious about stopping abortion, they would convince with words and moral appeals, not top down authoritarianism, intimidation and lies. These bastards can eat my whole rear end.

It's not about Christianity, since these fucks don't follow his teachings, it's not even about abortion, these people clearly care about neither, since they won't back any of the massively successful education and contraceptive efforts that various states have enacted.

It is 100% about bare naked misogyny, forcing women to suffer the consequences of being "sluts" (sex before marriage, rape, marital rape), and avoiding their rightful place, in the kitchen or popping out more white babies that can be indoctrinated into their perverted, lovely "Churches" and vote Republican.

And you literally cannot stop women from having abortions, you can only stop them from having safe, legal abortions :smith:
