Senate The US Politics discussion

Trump really went off the rails today.

 

What about that time he used fancy mustard instead of common cheap mustard! Outrageous! What a scandal.

 

Was he ever really on them?

 

And Trump gets his way, sort of.

 

I just wonder- if those of us who want to see the Russia investigation continue are not "real" Americans, does that mean we are going to get deported?

I mean, I doubt England would want me back and my bunch has been here since the 1600s, but still...

 

Nah, you'll be fine. You'll just be sent to a re-education camp where you and your children will have the proper ideas beaten into you. As for non-whites, well unfortunately that particular condition can't be fixed. They'll have to be deported...and if other countries don't want them, not to worry! The Germans had the exact same problem and they found a solution.

 

I was born a US Citizen and I bet I'm considered illegal.

 

Cute.

 

It was actually a brilliant move by Rod. Basically he told Trump, "will look into it". Not that they were going to start some massive investigation which is what Donald wanted nor did he refused which is what I think Trump really wanted since that give him in his eyes political cover to fire Rod. Instead it was just like "Yeah sure will look into it....now quit talking about it".

Of course in reality the last thing in the world Trump needs is more people looking into the 2016 presidential election but he doesn't think like that.

 

I wonder if Trump could be goaded into an American Idol type vote off between himself and Obama with the condition being he resigns when he loses.

 

I highly doubt he is enjoying his time at the Whitehouse so he might even do it.

 

This latest "meltdown" is Trump's predictable reaction to the Senate Intelligence Committee's public determination last week that Russia deliberately interfered in the election in Trump's favor. It likely triggered a Trump rampage that overwhelmed all other concerns about Mueller and anything Rudy might have said last week.

It's not about Russian interference, it's about deep state harassment of the Trump campaign! Not very subtle, but ever effective with the base and Fox News etc.

 

Look for him at one of those Wall Street firm galas that pay him half a million per speech.

 

if it favors landlines Trump could win

meanwhile Trump is tweeting quotes from an obscure Fox commentator that 99% of the country hasn't heard of.

This country sucks.

 

With the exception of the 1940s-80s, the Supreme Court has predominately favored the moneyed class--I'm disposed toward looking upon that faction as hostile towards justice.

 

All branches of our federal government do realize that the more they kick the average citizen the more likely there will eventually be a revolution, correct? I'm already halfway to hoping for the guillotine to make a roaring comeback with our 'leaders' being the first on the block. Only halfway, though, I still hold out a small shred of hope that we turn away from the brink.

 

There's never going to be a revolution. Americans are way too fat, lazy and stupid to know they are being exploited.

 

There isn't any hope to be found in this world anymore.

 

dp by accident

 

The SCOTUS decision that could effectively end future class-action lawsuits is pretty bad, and again signaling that we are about to get national "right to work." I think this is even worse than that will be, though.

 

There is always hope. Personally I am just looking forward to our Robot Overlords taking over.

 

You didn't ask permission?

For shame!




Anyhow, from a UK perspective that SCOTUS decision sits on Trump and the Republicans head, they let in another conservative judge and lo and behold the Corporation get protection over and above the poor person.


Still, more bootstraps clearly needed.

 

I'm surprised the President is allowed to nominate Judges to the Supreme Court.
