GreyjoyBastard posted:it's probably my favorite law podcast atm and likely to stay that way It's a good one. I can highly recommend "The Redirect" as well, for anyone who is interested in a podcast specifically about immigration law. It's by a really great dude who frequently calls into the Majority Report under the moniker "Ronald Raygun." He always has good stories, although a lot of them don't have happy endings, because gently caress this country. Still, give it a listen.

Isn't Trump in the position that he absolutely despises everything about being president and that they literally have to wheel him in front of people so he can get his endorphins goin', but because of... well, pretty much everything his administration has done in the past two years, being POTUS beyond 2020 is the only thing keeping him out of trouble?

I don't think any part of him really believes he'll actually get in trouble. He has no reason to. I imagine he wants to stay on as president because his need to inflate his ego vastly overrides any other wants or emotions he may have. That and it's very lucrative for his business interests.

Idle speculation, assume trump doesn't run in 2020 for some reason (divine intervention, republicans growing a spine, MUELLER she wrote, whatever). Who wins the republican ticket? Mike Pence?

The only way Trump doesn't run is if he dies in office, and in that case it'll be Pence.

Plus he's probably already fired all the people in his way. I think sometimes they get replaced? I'm a big fan of the divine intervention option, it's the only one I can actually see happening.

They know it’s bullshit and he probably does too. A lot of conservatism is performative. The important thing is that they denigrate the enemy however they can.

I remember Chavez had something like that, and I always wondered what the gently caress anyone could go on and on about for that long.

Yeah, it's this. It's a two minute's hate that's lasting for four years. They get off on the spite and petty brutality just as much as he does. They like that he's stupid because they're stupid. They see themselves in him, and they're right.

You're right that most of them are probably in it for the tax cuts and bigotry, but let's not kid ourselves that probably half the people attending that rally really do believe that going with renewable energy sources will cause them to lose power to their house if "the wind 'dun blow", even if you pointed to the copious amounts of wind energy in the country that's already fueling middle America.
