I think the most exciting part is that we don't have the slightest whiff of a clue about what he will gently caress up and in the end every insane, whack-a-doodle guess we make here will be laughed at as quaint ignorance when ol' Donnie shits the bed in a way nobody but a mush-brained narcissistic lunatic would possibly have imagined. Totes looking forward to that Putin meeting though. Pootie poot's troll game has been loving aces lately.

facialimpediment posted:A lot of this is still a consequence of the total clusterfuck that was the Trump Transition and his demand of drat near absolute loyalty for any new hires. Either due to him hating people, or people hating him, he has a kiddie pool's worth of talent to pick from. I feel that there might be a quote from a prominent Republican that addresses exactly this ideology. Something about only wanting to make government small enough to drown in the bathtub. If only I could remember it and any pithy, destructive phrases based on it like "starve the beast" that may have become one of the guiding principles of the entire organization.

psydude posted:Manafort, Junior, and Douchebag met privately with a Russian lawyer with connections to Putin shortly after Trump claimed the nomination last year. Not advocating for anyone to give up, and I'm truly glad people are digging this poo poo up. At the very least a generally ineffective Trump presidency mired in controversy and covered in the stink of conspiracy is one of the better possible outcomes now that we're in this dark of a timeline. ....but really at this point it's become, I dunno, basically "president corrupt, so what?" It just feels like, "Oh again? Eh, let me know when the poo poo starts to stick and there's charges filed or something". At this point everyone either accepts how loving lovely he is, or has their head buried so far up Donald's rear end they're truly sucking his dick from the back. It's loving depressing to think, but I really don't see any new revelations swaying anyone that hasn't been already. By now anyone saying wishy-washy, "gee I dunno we should give him a chance and see where the investigation goes before we decide" stuff is just a lying gently caress stick that will not accept any evidence, ever, but they don't want to come out and say it.

Hope the poo poo he comes out with is smoking gun video tapes of bags with dollar signs on one side and "Rosneft" on the other with Trump personally putting them in a safe while saying, "Send my thanks to Putin for the bribes he just gave me" because it's all going to rely on Republicans doing anything other than quietly mumbling at their feet about how they're deeply concerned then saying "but her emails!" and loving welp, KildarX just covered the motto.

Cruz's Freedom Crazies are out with their debt ceiling negotiation points and hoo boy are they some doozies. In typical fashion the starting point is bug gently caress insanity, and if they don't get what they want the other proposals just go further down the rabbit hole. The starting point is "you get this ceiling raise, and from here on out the federal government must firesale assets to cover debts" which is onion layers of loving terrible and destructive results to peel through until you find the next thing it would destroy.

They're also pushing Health Savings Accounts in the new version. You now have the FREEDOM to put as much of your wealth as you want, up to a yearly cap, in a completely tax-free savings account specifically for health care....until you hit 65 then you can withdraw all of that money, plus interest, for anything with no penalty and no taxes. All that FREEDOM is gonna fix this country right up, yes sir.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/17/politics/trump-jeff-flake-arizona-primary/index.html The leopard is eating red team faces by funding primary challengers against people Diaper Donnie has petty personal grievances with. Who could have possibly foreseen a swiss-cheese brained narcissistic millionaire in cognitive decline would turn on his own party because of a wounded ego? Here's to hoping he burns more bridges and his own party turns on him out of survival instinct. The Republican party fracturing into outright warring factions without a crypto-Kenyan Muslim usurper super-Allah mega-Hitler to rally against is one of the best possible political outcomes, assuming Democrats don't just swoop into the empty space and become even more Republican-lite. By which I mean we're all hosed and I just want to see the right people suffer even a little bit by losing office and being forced to bail out on their golden parachutes.

I think this is Fuckface McTurtle trying to spread the poo poo around and get a little on everyone. If he can't have his lovingly handcrafted poor-loving bill to put on the trophy wall to show to his donors he'll throw full repeal out to everyone and force them to vote on it. That's my immediate reaction anyway, because I don't see there being any way to expect something that obliterates medical care in this country to pass. There weren't enough people in the Senate that wanted to own the last destructive plan. Making it blow up even bigger isn't exactly a good negotiation tactic.

It's also completely speculative and nothing will come of it, but I can say definitively that Trump is fat as gently caress and his poor health is my only hope left in something happening sooner rather than later. I'm holding out for a debilitating stroke personally. The kind that leaves him a ruined husk incapable of caring for himself. I want him embarrassed and crippled so his cult of MAGA warrior yee-hadists sees their orange haired god brought down. Or bipartisan impeachment so that same cult is completely isolated from political power but that would require Republicans to do a good thing in their lives so welp.

Only reason to not want McCain to die right now is so he clogs up the seat while not voting (or to extend the suffering, depending on level of hatred).

At this point I really think Putin and the Intel community are, in their warped way, teaming up to Eiffel Tower Trump. Article says it was intercepted when Kislyak talked about it with other Russian officials. I don't for a single, solitary nanosecond believe he wouldn't have known that every last word of that conversation would have been recorded and that's not the kind of thing that would be done without permission.
