Donald’s been too busy today opening the latest Trump Hotel in Washington to do any fund-raising.
It’s amazing that complaints aren’t pouring in from all over. I’ll fix that.
'Ello. I wish to register a complaint. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago… no, wait! It’s about Hillary. I wish to complain that Hillary Clinton went to an Adele concert “all night long” while the Great Trumpster made a speech in front of what I understand were “massive crowds”, just massive, you wouldn’t believe how massive the crowds were, believe me.
How is this sort of thing allowed to go on? I want to know what the authorities are going to do about it.
My thought all along has been that Clinton, if elected, would be impeached, filibustered, and blocked at every turn, and that’s probably not the worst of it. My other thought is, as dreadful as these prospects are, it might be what we need in the long term. People need to be convinced that the republican right wing really is as bad as we think they are.
I know I have a ton of corny analogies so I apologize for another one, but the way i look at this race and the state of our current politics, the right wing is like a monster that’s, for now, trapped or cornered in a cave. We can keep it there indefinitely, but as long as it’s in its cave, it’s always there, waiting for the opportune time to get out and lash out at us. At some point, in order to slay this beast (figuratively speaking) we’re going to have to confront it. We’re going to have to coax it out of the cave and fight it up close and in person. That’s risky. The monster could devour us. But maybe we can beat the monster. We have to get it out of the cave first.
Clinton is the monster’s bait. The monster believes it can win by going after Clinton. But if enough people see how ugly these shit-assed republicans are, maybe, just maybe, they will be exposed and maybe the public finally issues its rebuke.
Trump should probably threaten to sue Adele. That will put things right.
As mentioned, they’d never get the numbers in the Senate. Also, without actual reasons to impeach Kaine (besides “we want a Republican president”), at that point the democracy has completely failed and we’ll be beating one another with dismembered femurs anyway. Until the EU peacekeepers come in.
Well here’s the deal, Asahi. The Democrats can take the Senate. It is in reach. The Senate controls court and cabinet appointments and foreign treaties.
And not just Supreme Court, but all open Federal Judge positions, of which there are currently 101 openings and 59 pending nominees that the Republicans aren’t acting on.
There’s some pretty close Senate races out there. If you want to feel better about it, give some of those dems some money for the final push. I already have.
A man wasn’t feeling right, so he went to see a psychiatrist, who gave him a test.
The doctor drew a circle, and asked the man, “What’s that make you think of”?
The man replied, “Sex”.
The doctor took another paper, and drew a square, and asked the man what that made him think of.
The man again replied, “Sex”.
The doctor expained, “There’s your problem - you’re obsessed with sex!”
“I’m obsessed with sex?!”, exclaimed the man - “You’re the one drawing the dirty pictures!”
If questioned, Trump or one of his surrogates would claim that Trump meant, “No one complains, all night long, that she went to an Adele concert.” Because really, if the election weren’t rigged, throughout the night of the concert the Twitterverse would have been filled with tweets from people aghast at her lack of stamina.
I think that Trumps surrogates would just claim that he’s right because purple monkey dishwasher. And clearly, all you can think about is sex.
That’s about the state of their “explanations” at this point.
AMC showing election night coverage at ‘red’ or ‘blue’ movie theaters. What could possibly go wrong?
I wonder if Trump would ever try to grab Adele’s…
Never mind.
Probably less than will go wrong at purple ones. Idjits.
Hillary attended Adele’s pro-ISIS concert. The rigged media refuses to tell the real story behind this Radical Islamic fundraiser. Very sad! On Nov 8, vote to lock up Hillary and Adele once and for all!
If rampant GOP obstructionism of the much more popular President Obama hasn’t convinced enough voters, what makes you think that obstructing Hillary Clinton will? I’d like to believe you that resisting Clinton at every turn will come back to bite the GOP, but at this point, I think it’s more likely to be the establishment’s last, best hope to reconcile with jilted Trump supporters. After all, it’s probably one of the last things they still agree on.
The RNC’s next move is probably going to have to be renouncing all those acts and actors as having nothing to do with the Republicans.
IOW, the court and the consent decree is the big wedge and big hammer that will fracture the Trumpists into a truly separate party.
We’re witnessing today the dawn of a real third party in the USA. Something I bet we all thought we’d never really see in our lifetimes. Green & Libertarian joke “parties” notwithstanding.
There will be no joy in R-ville for a very long time. Nor anywhere else in America if the squabblers get their way.
Yes, but Trump loves fast food (because it’s “clean”, supposedly) and doesn’t believe in exercise (or thinks doing rallies is exercise enough). He’d probably have a heart attack.
Mike “Get Off My Lawn” Pence’s poochbites the dust.
The poor RNC has a problem - are the people the party - or is the party somehow different from the people who voted for Trump in the primaries and find voter intimidation an appropriate approach?
And yes, I know that establishment Republicans get at least some, if not all, of the blame for dog whistling and Southern strategizing for the past 40 years, and there is an element of chickens coming home to roost.
Having responsible adults retain disproportionate power in a party (e.g. Superdelegates) seems like a good idea right now
I prefer family pets that don’t die. Sad.
