They don't give a gently caress about the safety of embassies or americans.

'as long as he's hurting minorities and people I don't like, I don't care about anything else' is what he's really saying. They would cheer trump burning down their house if it meant the liberal next door got mad about the smoke.

evilweasel posted:good to know donald trump is still considered a senior administration official As soon as I read this I immediately thought 'that is obviously trump talking.' It's amazing how oblivious he is to how distinct his speech patterns are. A vague, unverifiable yet grandiose claim about something that demonstrates a deep ignorance about the subject while claiming mastery at the same time? Why, who ever could that be?

FourLeaf posted:Ok, I'm sorry. I just thought it was better now that we have the evidence to support the Russia assertions rather than two months ago when she started off every show with breathless speculation, including implying that Putin personally ordered Trump to bomb Syria to throw off suspicion. The thing is, it's always been incredibly obvious. I understand the desire to wait for concrete proof or whatever, but back when Trump randomly and for no reason started defending Russia during the debates, I immediately looked at my wife and said 'Um...I bet he's colluding with Russia to rig the campaign or something.' It only got more obvious that exactly that had happened as time went on and it hasn't stopped getting more obvious at any point. It only comes across as an insane conspiracy theory to some because they've been successfully reached with propaganda painting it that way. At no point has it ever been plausible to assert that nothing fishy happened with Russia - not ever. Plus, if Putin didn't influence Trump to bomb Syria, or had nothing to do with that incident at all, I'd honestly be shocked. He is in up to his eyeballs with Russia and Putin. We just don't know all the details yet. So I don't think it's crazy to wonder if such things happened, rather it is insane to *not* wonder.

Yeah, when he said Comey was a 'showboat' it actually struck me as what Donald actually believed. I think he also fired him because of the Russia investigation but the tipping point was his jealousy over how much coverage Comey was getting. He's such a child and a narcissist that I just can't see that not being part of it.

Rigel posted:wow. Based on those two state-level special elections, my opinion on Rob Quist for Thursday went from about 25% to coin flip. He might actually win Montana's seat. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about Montana and Georgia. If the dems win both seats, it might finally make the republicans start actually turning on trump to try to save themselves. There are few safe seats anywhere in that case, even if the elections were held before whatever retarded bullshit trump will fill the time between now and 2018 with.

He basically just also told North Korea that we just parked nuclear weapons close by them. I don't know how much of a secret it was though. In any case he was clearly bragging to duterte to impress him exactly like he did with the Russians and for the same reason.

Grapplejack posted:I can't believe what Jacob's described was somehow way, way underselling what happened. I was kind of wondering if fox was overselling it. I'm just really confused here. But he might have been underselling it to avoid being a whiny liberal stereotype and describing it in the least arguable, simplest way possible to avoid it getting bogged down in details. Fox news has no reason to help him out here - they need to get ratings however they can. Gianforte isn't Trump and this ain't Russia(yet).

Keeping them from detonating the nation's healthcare system is a far more worthwhile goal unless you are going full accelerationist. I don't think they are dumb enough to actually think the AHCA isn't an anchor around their necks, they just need to advertise it to their base as if it's not.

Rigel posted:yeah, everyone knows whats going on with Fox. They are burning Gianforte now so that they can explain to their audience that the crazyman who committed a felony in front of 3 and a half witnesses the night before the election did not lose because of Trump or health care. Dem turnout will be boosted by the win regardless, in fact maybe more. This gives a wildcard factor to pretty much any election - you never know, the republican might suddenly commit a felony right before the election, show up and loving vote.
