If it is, pwn would totally fucking pwn -USED.
Or as a former coworker of mine once put it “My family tree is a telephone pole.”
Under most of the circumstances I can think of, I would agree. But suppose there’s a shock event - a massive war? Something that changes the dynamics from what they are now, considerably. A national emergency. Suppose that it’s not just Trump who insists on having emergency powers but Generals Mattis, McMaster, and Kelly who (retired or not) still have considerable influence over the military apparatus, work the congress to pass this emergency legislation? There wouldn’t be a Colin Powell or Henry Kissinger to bounce moderate their influence this time; the State Department is withering on the vine as we speak. Suppose that there is more of a concerted effort in the next year or two by not only the White House but the Republican party to attack the Washington Post, New York Times, and perhaps CNN and MSNBC. Take away those four networks and it would neutralize major players in the modern free press.
After the Alabama election, a number of Republicans are going to start taking a serious look at Trump’s ability to lead the party electorally. It may be quiet at first, but it will happen, and it will start now.
How many illegal voters will Trump say gave the election to Jones?
641,173.
And counting, probably.
I half-suspect that in some quiet room somewhere, a Republican in a position of authority is saying, “you know, if we could somehow have disenfranchised another 10,000 or so blacks, we’d have taken this thing…”
Nate Silver just tweeted, “GILLIBRAND-JONES 2020”
Not sure why he would do that.
A beautiful night! Trump and Bannon’s candidate, Roy Moore, goes down in flames.
Republicans lose a Senate seat and Trump/Bannon lose credibility.
Coffee pots are going to get tossed around in the White House halls tomorrow!
Keurignacht Zwei.
It’s special counsels all the way down.
I like Matt Oswalt’s (Patton’s brother) take on the Alabama senatorial election: “I hope Roy Moore’s defeat is a lesson to all Republicans that no matter how many kids you fuck NEVER admit to having a jew lawyer.”
“Alabama”… it even sounds like a word in Mexican!
I expect a movement to get the black vote count as 3/5s of the white vote any day now.
So that makes two losers in Alabama he’s backed.
I guess Omarosa is going to take the fall for losing in Alabama:
If Doug Jones wants to remain an elected offiical that might be his best move.
But…how will they ever find a replacement to do all those things no one was aware that she was doing?
