Don't handwring too much about the Pocahontas bullshit. Now that Trump has been President for a few years, and actually has done dumb stuff as President, it's a hell of a lot easier to counter. Plus, he tried to nationalize the 2018 and lost badly.

"WHY WOULD YOU LISTEN TO POCAHONTAS ABOUT ANYTHING"

"Well, as President, you said you would take on Wall Street, but instead, your administration is full of Wall Streeters. Oh, and the stock market is worse than under Obama."

"BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW POCAHONTAS"

"Well I know your tax cut got a billionaire $1 million and a regular worker $100"

Not saying that Warren is the best, just don't assume that she'll turn into a corn cob immediately. Not to mention if the Pocahontas poo poo becomes standard messaging, I GUARANTEE someone in the Republican establishment will say some racist garbage and accelerate things.

Now that political reporters actually have to listen to House Democrats (they were formerly irrelevant), it has been nice to see the nonstop "well that's nice, but president pussygrabber" comebacks to the decorum questions from the noisier House Dems. The House Minority leader tried to pull the decorum horseshit and a reporter outright asked him "well, the President called a woman horseface" and he ran off pretty quickly.

That's my rant so here's a gift.

Would be funny if the TSA employees struck. It's not like they can fire them and hire scabs like Reagan did.

It's probably illegal and they'd all get autofired.

A lot of the federal unions can't legally strike. I believe it's a consequence of the Reagan years, where by law, federal employees can't strike.

Lawyer crams dumb pop culture references in briefs and accuses Mueller of illegal whatever.

Judge gets angry with the stupid legal briefs, yells at Troll Farm lawyer to knock it off.

It's 2018. While the networks will likely air it, C-SPAN almost definitely will, and if not, internet live streaming is readily available. The Office of the POTUS doesn't and shouldn't need media outlet permission to address the nation.

For additional reference, Obama wanted to address the country on immigration and got denied time on the major networks in 2014. The networks generally cede time to the President for apolitical announcements, but generally don't do so for purely political statements.

How is every page itt this insane now. The fake Leonardo pic being investigated by Mueller is already nuts, and the foot fetishist quotes are loving fever dream material.

I think what's happening is a combination of the death of expertise and the rise of alt-right memewarriors caused by Trump and Twitter.

In terms of the government, poo poo is breaking that never even used to break in the past. In almost all instances, having an administration with even borderline competency makes these gently caress-ups never see the light of day. There are new gently caress-ups every day, in every corner of government, just because they're just not good at government.

In terms of the memes of production, because Trump was declared to be Good At Twitter (he's not), and his use of such got him elected (maybe?), his followers have basically decided that social media is now the Republic of Kekistan. That's leading to all of the shittiest people in the country/world slinging poo poo at the walls to try to get in on those sweet, sweet grift dollars. Or you know, there's a mouthy bitch in Congress and it's time to put that oval office in her place because she won't suck my cock, the whore.

Put that poo poo in a blender and suddenly Insane Clown Posse furries are the #1 defender of America against neonazis. There's a line connecting the points, but holy gently caress it's full of squiggles.
