I'm glad Trump does these campaign speeches. Stops the media from changing the narrative if he manages to go a long weekend without say something weird about Jews or threatening some country with war.
I hear you, but, imo we should give the guy "some" credit. He obviously was smart and shrewd at one point. He still "is" in a way. But he obviously, imo, ain't right anymore and is not fit to be POTUS. May never have been, but it's worse now , to me at least. Idk how anyone there mentally can be so petty. This is a really bad spot to be in for the country. They should have used the 25th AM first. Using it now, imo, looks like Mueller doesn't have anything and they are desperate to get him out.
If our President was a door he would be a sliding door...because he's unhinged and mostly in vacation spots
Real talk, you being kind of woke is a good step. I see you accepting your "blow it up" mentality and the fact that it was fucking retarded. I'll still crush you for goofy conspiracy shit, but I do think you are learning from your mistake.
He's a moron. The 25th amendment solution is a political weapon like impeachment and will not be used until Republicans feel safe to abandon Trump.
25:00 Lawrence starts spitting hot fire 35:40. "Let's go back and see if there's anything worthwhile here." Trump talks about how great his apartment is "Clearly, there's nothing worthwhile here."
Well, I'm out. We're seeing some scuffles and people are getting a bit frenzied. Glad we came down. This train wreck has galvanized the protesters and we have a shared sense of purpose. What I've found is this, a lot of his supporters appear to be vapid, unintelligent fuckers. Deliberately obtuse, unapologetically hypocritical, and very poorly educated.
His supporters are eating up the CNN bashing sadly Kinda sucks, he's bulletproof for those who ride with him. Idk how many of those were the ones who voted for him in those states that won him the election, but it feels like he's getting a second term
I hope that the protesters are people who didn't vote. Obviously within their ranks are those who voted "against" him I just hope those who didn't vote or voted 3rd party are seeing the error of their ways.
I hope timo means trump won't be running for some reason not that we won't be holding elections in 2020.
The President of the United States is quite crazy. We've never really been here before. (yeah, OK, Wilson stroked out, but Melania ain't no Edith Wilson and ole Woodrow never had the nuclear football.) Not saying there's going to be a nuclear war, I'm just saying anything is possible with a person as completely off the rails as this man.
We've had elections every 4 years, to skip that would be counter to every damn thing this country stands for
Thanks. I'm kinda inbetween. Trump isn't good for the US. But it seems worse than it was even during the campaign. I believe an f you needed to be thrown to the system and I still believe there is a deep state. But I hope we can relatively peacefully get out of this and somehow everyone take a pause and find the 90 percent that unites us. Healthcare for all should be done tomorrow. Super rich folks should pay more taxes tomorrow. Unions should be powerful (but stay out of politics) . Everyone should be able to obtain advanced education easily and cheaply. Campaign finance should be reformed. Lobbying, for the most part should be banished, term limits envoked. And yes, we have rule of law and a process in which to get in the country. There is not a thing wrong , imo, with taking only those who can contribute immediately for a little while. We have troubles in this country and do need to focus on America first. I'm am all for capitalism but the government should put a cap on what a college or hospital/dr can charge. No reason those places should extort.
I've never seen the media so united on fucking crazy one of his speeches were. No mincing of words. Talking openly about how crazy he is, and how the 25th Amendment should be used. James Clapper kind of scared me with his words.
Yeah. Stating the obvious right? Except it's fucking different when you're face to face with the behavior. We can say it, we can share anecdotal evidence, but man, when you're facing rabid spitting anger from his supporters? Then you really fucking know it . So, go ahead and be sarcastic motherfucker. But don't be dismissive. This shit is terrifying.
So where do we go from here? The sad thing is politics is such a team sport now that many on the right will defend and defend Trump to the point of idiocy. At the very least there may be enough evidence to just get it seen about. If everything comes back clear, then we have that peace of mind. If it doesn't, then those close to him should get him help.
... and what would people do if the 2020 was an obvious sham -- Robert Mugabe or, idk, Uzbekistan-style sham? "I'm going to knit an even better pussy hat this time!" People wouldn't do shit, and Republicans would support it because their team won.
Ryan, McConnell, and a few dozen GOP congress people could end this whole thing. But they are afraid of his base. That's dumb, because his base has hardly any economic power and they are constantly Perc'd up. They are basically the crowd that goes to a pro wrestling match.
Dude, you are on the right path. You just need to get over the deep state shit. My local high school athletic department has a "deep state" my company has a "deep state". You are "deep state". Labeling anyone who is established in an entity as "deep state" or "swamp" in no way means they are not out for the greater good. I, hell, my family, is heavily "deep state" in the union our company is associated with. Our goal is to use that power to better the lives of our people. Some are opposite, some people are assholes. You seem to paint with broad colors on these things. And use that water color to paint a country that should be an oil painting. Nothing needs blown up. Nothing needs whitewashed, we need to pin point and fix issues. Trump was whitewash, and I think you are seeing that.
The way elections are done makes that a lot tougher as each state runs itself. I'm as much of a pessimist as anyone but that's wild
The base, atp, are basically TEA party and evangelicals. But that is 15 to 20 percent of the population, plenty enough to split the republican party in two. That is Paul Ryan's challenge atm.
What you mean they have deep state? I define deep state as those working for the hidden hand. The hand that controls the puppets (CIA, military industrial complex, banking, etc). I think they want him out for a reason. IDK what it is.
This former Breitbart spokesman on CNN doesn't say the things I expect anyone associated with Breitbart to say.
My point is my employees could potentially see me as "deep state" trying to undermine them for my profit or personal gain. Your tenants could see you as "deep state". Trying to use them for profit and or space in an eviction scenario. That's all "hidden hand". I give my reason to my guys, you give yours to yours. They are welcome to question it, but in the end we are doing what is best for ourselves and the viability of our company and its beneficiaries (employees/tenants). Distrust is fine. I expect it at times, but for the most part the greater good prevails. And people know that. Sorry to all this is half asleep rambling. Trump wrinkled my brain.
I mean, all of this shit is abnormal. People have been saying "this can't happen" for years now, and yet here we are. Everything is on the table unfortunately. He's a narcissistic fuckhead who's in power in large part because the party he took over are a bunch of spineless pussies. I'm not going to say "this couldn't happen" because it's that's the type of complacency that allowed this to happen in the first place.
A racist prick being elected is worlds apart from suspending elections. Talking suspending elections is ending democracy and like Oops said ending the country as we know it. That's way out there.
i think my favorite part of his narcissism is that he has to tell everyone his speeches get great reviews
I mean, I don't think it's going to happen, but I refuse to shut the door on anything anymore. I'm getting sick of thinking "it can't possibly get worse" only for it to happen.
