I fucking love this President. My 2 faves during my lifetime are Trump and Nixon. They share a lot of similarities and were besieged by the same groups of assholes. No I’m not trolling. Y’all, the lef

This.....is magnificent. The "younger generation" is going to have to work double-time to fund YOUR Social Security, which YOUR generation of elected officials raided the fuck out of.  And which,

Remember when Escriva and WUlaw used to argue that evangelicals were too principled to support Trump?   I also remember Escriva mocking those who said Brexit would be a disaster.   Lulz. 

Whatever happened to those two dipshits?

But they need to be "obedient" in 2020.

Regnery Publishing confirmed the book’s existence but said the title is “For God and Country: The Christian case for Trump.” The publisher declined to comment on the reason for the title change. 

In his book, Reed will “persuasively” argue evangelicals have a duty to defend the incumbent Republican leader against “the stridently anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and pro-abortion agenda of the progressive left,” according to the description. 

He will also rebut claims by religious and nonreligious critics that white evangelical Protestants “revealed themselves to be political prostitutes and hypocrites” by overwhelmingly backing Trump, a twice-divorced, admitted philanderer, in 2016. 

“Critics charge that evangelical Trump supporters … have so thoroughly compromised their witness that they are now disqualified from speaking out on moral issues in the future,” the description reads. 

Reed, who once said Trump’s comments about women in the leaked “Access Hollywood” tape were low on his “hierarchy of concerns,” belongs to an informal group of evangelical leaders — including Franklin Graham, Jerry Falwell Jr., Robert Jeffress and Paula White — who have become some of the president’s most devoted fans and vocal defenders since he took office. They have cast his foray into politics as divinely inspired; equated him to biblical figures such as Esther, an Old Testament heroine; and frequently cited Scripture to rationalize his most controversial policies — actions that other religious scholars and leaders have found particularly cringeworthy. 

“I think evangelical efforts would be far better spent critiquing their own shortcomings than sanctifying a president,” said Matthew Rowley, a research associate with the Cambridge Institute on Religion and International Studies at Clare College. 

For his part, Trump has inspired loyalty among his white evangelical base by positioning himself as a warrior against the secular culture they fear. He’s frequently appeared at conferences hosted by conservative Christian groups, including the “Road to Majority” summit put on by Reed’s organization each summer; strengthened conscience protections for religious Americans in the labor force; nominated dozens of socially conservative judges for lifetime federal appointments; and fervently supported Israel. 

“Part of the reason why many religious leaders support Trump is because he is great on life, religious freedom, judges, Israel, taxes, conscience protections, fetal issue and also because Hillary Clinton and his would-be opponents next year are so awful on all of the above,” a senior administration official said. 

But the same official said there‘s a difference between the president’s alliance with influential evangelical leaders and his private reaction to those who publicly fawn over his administration. Asked about Reed’s book, in particular, this person responded, “Oh, for crying out loud.”

Man those two statements are so spot on.

His daily twitter output this week has been phenomenal.  He knows he's fucked, and he know he fucked up on the Kurd thing.

I'm not on the ledge.   2018 was the canary in the coal mine for the Republicans, and it's only going to get worse.   The rising anger over the mass shootings has only increased over time (shame this didn't happen after Sandy Hook).  The polling numbers in regards to impeachment are not good for the GOP and Trump.

I've seen friends/family/acquaintances who had voted for Trump, getting pissed off at Trump, and more importantly, being openly vocal about it - before this year, few of them would dare say anything negative about him.  

Almost all of my friends who served,  or are in the military (active duty or Reserve/National Guard), that I knew from high school or served with, are really pissed over the Kurdish thing, and they are being very vocal.  Well, the ones still on active duty aren't being vocal publicly, but privately they are.  More than a few have strongly commented on how we are betraying them, and how this is helping ISIS.

Not quite running towards 2020, but it's faster than baby steps.

Thoughts and prayers. 

They didn't even wait a day before attacking the Kurds. No world leaders respect that orange butthole. You can thank Lindsey for enabling the moron

This is his lawyer?

What the hell is wrong with his face?

His hair has been notably fucked up, but he looks like he got some bad stuff and it's making him break out in lumps. 

I can only surmise that he was the only one messed up enough to agree to work with the liar in chief when Kush was working the phone.

Looks like Trey's wearing a jellyfish on his head.  It seems to be sucking out his insides.

It just occurred to me that the president paid a porn star he’d been banging hush money prior to the election.... and that won’t go down as one of his bigger scandals.

Neither are the dozens of allegations of sexual assault and rape.  Merica.

Yea you libtards!  If Obama was soooo great why didn't he bother to fill all those federal judgeships??  He didn't even bother to fill a SC seat for christsake!    I guess he was too busy taking selfies and eating arugula.  Also, brown people are so lazy!  SAD.
