Kennedy is a good little authoritarian; he knows there’s no such thing as truth. There is only what the Leader tells you.
It’s the old “are you going to believe me, or your lying eyes?” instruction–described in one way or another by every writer on autocracy. Masha Gessen discussed this in a Mother Jones article:
If the Leader says it was Ukraine and not Russia who interfered in the 2016 election, then it was Ukraine. Question that at your peril.
If The Leader says that a murdering scum is a good man, and should remain a SEAL, then that is exactly what will happen, even if he has been convicted by a court.
I know this thread is about how shitty Trump is, but since the issue of Bloomberg came up, I am not absolutely opposed to his candidacy if he can commit to remaining a Dem and not run 3rd party.
I believe Conan the dog is next in line for the job.
Seems to be the party line this week. From Meet The Press last Sunday:
/derail/ If he did what I bolded I’m guessing that’s tantamount to handing Prez. DrawersOnHead the 2020 presidency. /end of derail/
No disagreement there.
Saw this elsewhere. Individual-ONE tweeted about having a wonderful visit with the military canine hero. They got along great. Because, you know, dogs are know to be fond of smelling assholes.
Individual 1 nominated former Rear Admiral Ken Braithwaite, current Ambassador to Norway and an Individual 1 campaign staffer, as Secretary of the Navy. Can’t find anything particularly offensive about him, there must be something wrong in there somewhere. Except that he is a former oil company and insurance company executive.
When he was just a sleazy business failure, it was inconsequential; now he’s doing the bidding for two masters; Putin and the Reichwing.
I don’t know. Lindsey Graham’s complete 180 is hard to explain without some blackmail mixed in there.
Considering many of these politicians would probably have to face dire consequences if just their browser histories were revealed, how much kompromat do you really think it would take to subvert a government? I’m guessing shockingly little.
Because the sun shines out his ass. If he didn’t, we’d all be sitting in the dark and freezing – just ask him.
People forget that the RNC was hacked at the same time as the DNC. That material was not publicly released.
Lindsay Graham was a huge critic of Trump until October of 2016, when he went golfing with Trump. Since then, he’s treated Trump the way Trump treats Putin.
Considering that the Repubs had no problem defending Roy Moore, what on earth are they like in private?
Technically, the Act itself could have been passed and signed into law at any time, only the coin itself is time-sensitive. Of course, if Obama had signed it into law, it would have been bad, bad, eeeeevil, and in need of recission. Like, say, that one particular twenty design.
I’m not convinced he doesn’t think that he just signed a law giving women the vote. Look for that to show up on his “Gud Tings I Dun” list soon.
Don’t be silly. He would never think giving women any kind of voice or agency would be a good thing.
Individual 1 says he wants the war criminals he pardoned to campaign with him. Quid pro quo.
Trump Tells Allies He Wants Absolved War Criminals to Campaign for Him?
Apparently, the White House and Pentagon are arguing over whether the dog that caught al-Baghdadi is male or female.
Based on the photo here:

I vote girl.
Which means, basically, that Trump called her a boy so now the White House has to call her a boy.
Once again, on top of multiple lies, Individual 1 makes the turkey pardoning a political event.
