I just saw a rumour saying that Pence cut short an trip to get back for an emergency meeting about Korea/Afghanistan/"Strategy"? Might be a good chance the Military wants to ask if he's going to remove Trump.

This is big, I think. He's basically setting himself up to tell his fans that trump has been captured by the bad guys and even if he doesn't attack trump that's going to split his nutjobs from Trump.

yeah that's what makes it so hilarious, trump gives him the title of "strategist" and then gets pissy every time he's referred to as a strategist because trump is a stupid child

So there's basically no chance of an upswing with this administration, right? It's only going to continue to get more dysfunctional, alienated, and insular. If we're looking at 3.5 more years of decline, just how bad can we realistically expect it to get? At this point I wouldn't be that surprised if, maybe a year from now, Trump just said gently caress It and went golfing and never came back.

He's still probably close to 50-50 to win reelection.

Somehow I doubt that the new president pardoning someone for (potentially) treason, money laundering, lying under oath, human trafficking and kiddy diddling would go over well with his Christian evangelical base. If Trump gets impeached it's over for the republican party for at least four years.

Obama went out with high approval ratings and it (probably) led to it being over for the Democratic Party for at least 4 years.

But the evangelicals will stick with the GOP because dems want to smash fetuses.

“I feel jacked up,” he says. “Now I’m free. I’ve got my hands back on my weapons. Someone said, ‘it’s Bannon the Barbarian.’ I am definitely going to crush the opposition. There’s no doubt. I built a f***ing machine at Breitbart. And now I’m about to go back, knowing what I know, and we’re about to rev that machine up. And rev it up we will do.”

This sounds like a lot of Bluster. Isn't Breibart doing bad economically?

In all seriousness, are the accelerationist right? I mean, we went full crazy and now all the statues are being taken down, a lot of the defense of the Confederacy is being shut down, there is tons of pushback from the business world, techworld, in general population against the right, and ObamaCare is more popular than it's ever been with many demanding Universal Health Care. I could go on, but it sounds like going full crazy helped a lot.

If 2016 taught people anything, it should have taught them to never count out the shittiest candidate on the planet to win an election. Don't assume Trump won't win until the day after he gets impeached or the day after he loses the election.
