So, you’re ruling out the option of culling the Republican population?
Trump’s relationship with Christianity.
Well, culling would face some resistance, but I figure if the word spread that “alt-right” folks chugging Draino or setting themselves on fire in the street would *really *tee off them librul cucks… Shit, have Obama and Hillary hit the TV interviews stating again and again their opposition to munching on cyanide. That’ll do it.
The President of the United States criticizes the Mayor of London for his handling of the attack. The current US acting Ambassador to the United Kingdom tweets, “I commend the strong leadership of the @MayorofLondon as he leads the city forward after this heinous attack.”
Take a wild guess who’s not going to be acting ambassador much longer.
I seeing lots of posts here saying it’s useless to contact your representatives. I hate, HATE reading those. They grate on me like posts saying that voting is useless.
(No cites, but…) The Tea Parties developed hypertrophied political influence by constantly being loud and in-your-face. And whether or not a Rep is swayed by a flood of messages from constituents, if he doesn’t receive any messages he’ll assume people don’t care much about that issue.
“Trump’s people being deeply financially involved with Russia, well, it doesn’t seem like a priority concern for the voters.”
There were several races in my district where there was only one candidate running–the Republican. It doesn’t help that I live in North Carolina, where our districts have been gerrymandered with surgical precision.
Agreed 100%. They might not read every line of every email but they absolutely respond to volume of calls, messages, etc. Get into your community, hook up with special interest groups, and organize calling and email campaigns. And in those messages, let it be known that you intend to grow your numbers. House members in particular are terrified of grass roots organization because it’s much easier to organize at the local level and dethrone an incumbent, especially in a more diverse district.
Dumbfuck-In-Chief reacts to CNN, undermines his own press people and SCOTUS case.

Duplicated effort. Nature’s already taking care of that.

The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.
The Justice Dept. should ask for an expedited hearing of the watered down Travel Ban before the Supreme Court - & seek much tougher version!

Does the failing Loser Donald, who the rest of the world is laughing at, not understand that he runs the Justice Department? If that’s what he wants them to pursue in court, he should probably be telling them to do so instead of undermining his own employees’ legal argument on Twitter. (Not that I expect him to understand it at all when the courts rule against him on the basis of his own words, anyway, as he is stupid, failing, and a loser.)
He also posted this yesterday in regards to the London attack;

Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That’s because they used knives and a truck!
[/QUOTE]
I’m not even sure what point Lyin’ Donald the Losing Loser thought he was making here. It’s true we’re not having “a gun debate” right now. That is because everyone with two brain cells to rub together (which Dummy Donald, with his bad (or sick!) genes, lacks) understands that more innocent people would have died had these killers had guns at their disposal.
SAD!
I found an article on Literary Hub that you may find worth reading. It is called The Loneliness of Donald Trump, by Rebecca Solnit. I think my favorite part may be the last paragraph, quoted below.
[QUOTE=Rebecca Solnit]
The man in the white house sits, naked and obscene, a pustule of ego, in the harsh light, a man whose grasp exceeded his understanding, because his understanding was dulled by indulgence. He must know somewhere below the surface he skates on that he has destroyed his image, and like Dorian Gray before him, will be devoured by his own corrosion in due time too. One way or another this will kill him, though he may drag down millions with him. One way or another, he knows he has stepped off a cliff, pronounced himself king of the air, and is in freefall. Another dungheap awaits his landing; the dung is all his; when he plunges into it he will be, at last, a self-made man.

If Donald Trump is Dorian Gray, there’s a portrait of him in an attic somewhere getting handsomer, smarter, and more urbane.
Get out, congressman - the emails are coming from INSIDE YOUR HOUSE!
The fact that I will never write a paragraph as simultaneously descriptive and beautifully tragic as that, with the imagery of a dung heap to boot, pains me. I just hope it’s prescient as well.
If survival of the fittest could hurry up, I’d appreciate it.
A few years ago I heard on the news that the GOP had a website up for taking suggestions, since at the time their popularity had waned. I visited the site, and looked for the suggestions area. I looked at the survey, saw that it covered none of the issues I was concerned about, so I used the little text field by “Other.” I typed in a whole laundry list of issues I thought they should address (Don’t blame everything on the liberal media, communicate more about the economic reasons behind your decisions instead of relying on patriotic rhetoric, etc.) and got a generic error message when I clicked Save. All my thoughts had been banished to electronic oblivion.
So, it was obvious to me the GOP wasn’t welcoming divergent opinions, or at least didn’t have the budget or resources to accommodate feedback beyond the “See Spot run” level. Congress people are only going to pay attention to what they think will get them re-elected, and shit will continue to roll downhill.
I would be careful about writing him off. He’s taking his case directly to the people, and he’s speaking the way that a dictator speaks, like he’s a father figure trying to protect his people from all of these stupid little lawyers and bureaucrats who don’t have any common sense. If something big happens, he’ll use this as a point of reference.
I’m not sure of this part: “He must know somewhere below the surface he skates on that he has destroyed his image”. He’s always been seen as an egotistical asshole, so he didn’t really have much of a positive image to destroy.
I’m glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read that, or I would have had to clean my computer screen. Hilarious but possibly true!
