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

A guy named David Pecker is a central figure in a scandalous presidency of a reality TV gameshow host who fucked and paid off a pornstar, along with two absurd looking Ukrainians involved in a business named "Fraud Gaurantee," and they also work closely with the president's personal lawyer who is an acclaimed cyber-security expert who regularly buttdials people and confesses crimes on live TV.

This is the most ridiculous simulation ever.

And I didn't even mention the blackmailed gay Republican southern senator.

Sorry, you cannot add any more reactions today.

Tim Robbins talking about his 1992 movie Bob Roberts:

 

It was made fall of ’91 during the Bush I administration, which of course, in retrospect now seems like a model of moderate conservatism compared to what’s come afterwards. But you certainly didn’t feel that way at the time, right?
No, in a lot of ways, [Bush I] opened the door to what conservatism would be. All of the indicators were there: the selling of the first Gulf War, the media’s involvement with that, the rallying of public support for the war. But also the nature of discourse and the shift from media that was local to political organizations that had absorbed or purchased many outlets throughout the country with one message. I’m talking about the early talk-radio phenomenon, the Rush Limbaughs. The whole idea of that for me was very disturbing, because what it looked like to me at the time was that there was political philosophy that was being espoused on a daily basis, a political philosophy that has to do with manipulation of the facts. And this seemingly innocuous rise of talk-radio punditry, for me, clearly had an agenda to it. The deregulation under Reagan that allowed that and the further deregulation under Clinton, post-Bob Roberts, led to more and more conglomerates of radio stations throughout the country that were relentlessly pursuing an agenda that served the elite class. What was Machiavellian about that was that their messaging was anything but elite. The messaging was to the working class. At the time, it seemed like what they were doing was lying and creating division, where there was no need for division. And quite frankly, it worked. I think what the powerful understood at the time was that they were in the process of losing the majority that would support their agenda. It’s just really good planning on their part: How do you maintain an environment that is antithetical to the needs and concerns of the overall population? How do you get the majority in this country to vote against their economic and social interests? And the way to do that is propagandize—propaganda that was going to be done on a daily basis to keep people divided and keep them stoked up angry about issues that were loaded emotionally, such as abortion, such as the tolerance for gay people. So that when people go to the voting booth, they’re voting against these crazy liberals that Rush has been talking about that are trying to tear at the very fabric of what it is to be an American, and voting for someone who says the right things on those hot-button issues but in actuality and in fact, will be voting for tax cuts for the rich and increasing the military budget at the cost of other industry, will be voting for NAFTA and your job disappears.

And our football coach who self anointed himself a genius who belongs to an organization of other geniuses was seen repeatedly slamming his unprotected head against a football player's helmet prior to calling a brain dead offense.  These are not the days.

A lot of people protesting in the '60s were directly impacted by the things they protested - namely being drafted and sent off to fight in Vietnam, or having their loved ones drafted and sent off to fight in Vietnam.

There was a sense of urgency in the 1960s that we simply don't have now among young people.

Olds on the other hand, many are fearful of having their retirement impacted, their medical care, their taxes, etc., and these things are the most important things in their lives right now, so they are easy to stir up.

The people protesting in the 60s became the yuppies and later boomers who voted for Trump. They protested the war because they didn't want to fight, they preached free love because they wanted to get laid. They never believed in anything other than themselves

So is Trump going to say someone sent him the wrong picture of Conan? 

I mean, you don't have to be an aggie to see that dog in the picture has a vagina, which is rare for a male dog.

This post only exemplifies the cis-gender normative confusion related to sex organs and gender identification. I expect that you will shortly apologize to this dog with military medals on its neck.

You are an idiot.

I promise you most of the people that protested in the 60's did not vote for Trump.

Quite depressing. Have a corrupt idiot in the WH and half the country is into it.
46.1 percent of the votes with 55.7 percent of eligible voters turning out = 25.67 percent of eligible voters supporting him. His approval rating hovers around 40 percent.

He never has and never will even sniff the support of half the country. Don't legitimize him and his followers by thinking they're half the country. They're a clear minority no matter how you slice it.

In all honesty, he should be paranoid. His actions have up most likely led many around him to not trust him. You could argue that they should do everything they can to help the president be successful but I imagine some are there to protect America against him.

its like trump has become captain queeq and America is the USS Caine.

I don''t know Eddie.  Queeg broke, but in the end he wasn't the bad guy.

Both sides (HA!) are expecting violence to come from the opposing camp. I know Trump supporters who are genuinely worried about left wing violence. We all know the left worries about violence coming from the right.

This country is torn in half and I don't know what can bring it back together. 

I think one side is not only expecting it, but itching for it.  But these people aren't going to be doing the fighting.  They are stockpiling weapons and waving the 2nd Amendment flag not to protect the populace from a corrupt government, but to protect their own possessions from those they are certain will come and plunder.    They see the violence taking place somewhere else, their world won't be affected.  But they will surely sit on their porches, and pick off any stranger coming down the street as a potential looter.

Everyone REALLY needs to see the documentary on Netflix about “The Family”. This is exactly where this belief comes from.

 

I agree.

I watched some of this and it had some kernel of truth to it but it had an outrageous conspiracy theory level feel to it.  

Yes, the religious right was co-opted to consolidate political power but it wasn’t the only puppet master pulling the strings. 

You are correct that that sect is part of a larger stew.  But I don't think you get a full understanding of the documentary and what it was laying out without watching the whole thing.

This is one of the better opinion pieces I have read in a while.   Its message is clear without talking over heads, or talking down to people in order to impress others with the author's insights or intelligence.

President Trump's dictator-like administration is attacking the values America holds dear

This monarchy in disguise has been so exhausting and chaotic, it’s not in the least bit surprising so many citizens are disillusioned.
 
Nov. 26, 2019, 3:54 AM CST
By Robert Redford

We’re up against a crisis I never thought I’d see in my lifetime: a dictator-like attack by President Donald Trump on everything this country stands for. As last week’s impeachment hearings made clear, our shared tolerance and respect for the truth, our sacred rule of law, our essential freedom of the press and our precious freedoms of speech — all have been threatened by a single man.

Our shared tolerance and respect for the truth, our sacred rule of law, our essential freedom of the press and our precious freedoms of speech — all have been threatened by a single man.

It’s time for Trump to go — along with those in Congress who have chosen party loyalty over their oath to “solemnly affirm” their support for the Constitution of the United States. And it’s up to us to make that happen, through the power of our votes.

When Trump was elected, though he was not my choice, I honestly thought it only fair to give the guy a chance. And like many others, I did. But almost instantly he began to disappoint and then alarm me. I don’t think I’m alone.

Tonight it pains me to watch what is happening to our country. Growing up as a child during World War II, I watched a united America defend itself against the threat of fascism. I watched this again, during the Watergate crisis, when our democracy was threatened. And again, when terrorists turned our world upside down.

During those times of crises, Congress came together, and our leaders came together. Politicians from both sides rose to defend our founding principles and the values that make us a global leader and a philosophical beacon of hope for all those seeking their own freedoms.

What is happening, right now, is so deeply disturbing that instead of the United States of America, we are now defined as the Divided States of America. Leaders on both sides lack the fundamental courage to cross political aisles on behalf of what is good for the American people.

We’re at a point in time where I reluctantly believe that we have much to lose — it is a critical and unforgiving moment. This monarchy in disguise has been so exhausting and chaotic, it’s not in the least bit surprising so many citizens are disillusioned.

The vast majority of Americans are busy with real life; trying to make ends meet and deeply frustrated by how hard Washington makes it to do just that.

But this is it. There are only 11 months left before the presidential election; 11 months before we get our one real chance to right this ship and change the course of disaster that lies before us.

Let’s rededicate ourselves to voting for truth, character and integrity in our representatives (no matter which side we’re on). Let’s go back to being the leader the world so desperately needs. Let’s return, quickly, to being simply ... Americans.

I mean, it's good in its simplicity, but it doesn't really make an argument that's going to sway anyone.  Then again, I think we are probably past the point of changing minds anyway.  People are in their corners.  Let's hold the primary next week and the general in January.  Get this fucker overwith and see where we stand as Americans.

Holy.  Fucking.  Shit.  

Even your dumbest supporter understands collectible coins, because they're the idiots buying those 10-Silver Dollars for $39.95 on late night TV.  

You can't have a Centennial Coin for 1920 during the fucking Obama administration.  Your voters can't count to 100 but they know 1920 was 100 years ago.  

I mean, I know he just wanted to plug how he gets shit done.  So just say that, "I'm the President who gets things done".  I disagree with you, but I know you think that and you say that every day.  That woulda been fine.  But you had to tie it to a 100-year old event?  Even your dumb voters know 1920 was 100 years ago

I think he’s getting dumber.

I used to roll my eyes at people that called him an idiot.  He's a lot of bad things---egotistical, slightly sociopathic, racist, nationalist, lazy, etc.  I never found him smart or dumb, I would have called him average.  Even the worst grifters have some modicum of intelligence.  I would probably put him in that meaty part of the curve...not showing off, not falling behind.  

But yes, now I think his mental acumen has fallen somewhat in the last year or so.  He has begun the slow slide of losing his mental faculties.  He is now relying on "muscle memory" from his first year or so in office, when he was still fucking insane, but acting/speaking with purpose.  He is now beginning to rely on what little cognitive experience he had in the Oval Office early on to continue to present himself and his ideas to the public and his staff.  '

My graduate-degree (w/ honors-no pics) wife is a published Speech-Language Pathologist and comes from a family of proud Trump voters.  She has noticed several articulation issues with him over the last several months.  Not MSNBC conspiracy shit, just things she rewinds and shows me and then compares it him speaking just one year ago.  It's not vocabulary screwups (you speak that much in front of cameras, you're gonna foul-up even with teleprompters).  These are articulation issues, how the brain fires not just the words and syntax to your jaw/tongue, but how they then execute on the orders.  Sometimes people have the words all locked and loaded but there's a disconnect with the muscles in the mouth.  But other times, she can tell, as was the case in her post-grad research, that the disconnect isn't down in the jaw/tongue...but rather back up in the brain.  The struggle is to form the sounds into words back up in the brain.  That's where his breakdown started in the last several months.  Think of it as oil.  You can have a problem downstream (the mouth), a problem midstream (the electrical signals between the brain and jaw/tongue), or a problem upstream (in the actual brain itself).  His problem is now heading up, not down.  We all know this kinda shit intuitively---you look at a child or an elderly relative.  You can just "tell" when they're having a problem just getting the words out and sometimes you can just "tell" when they're having a tough time just finding the word to begin with, let alone get it out.

This.  He keeps throwing poll numbers out there specifically to obfuscate the issue, but the fact is, when you take his comments/tweets/etc. as a whole, the dude has some serious insecurity issues about next year.

They had their moment in the sun when we had a black atheist Muslim Marxist Socialist Communist Democrat Community Organizer from Chicago, born and raised in Kenya by way of Indonesia named Barrack Hussein Obama.

If these people had truly prepared for their little fantasy, they would not be anywhere near the cities - they would be living off the grid with an actual farm, because even 5 simple minutes of thought would reveal that an actual civil war means the end of electricity, running water, internet, banking, cheap and easily obtained fuel, etc.

Most of these idiots are far too comfortable - 50" HDTVs are under $300, the internet is fairly cheap and accessible for many (not all), and they aren't going to do anything to rock that boat.   A full-on civil war means they won't be able to easily charge their Rascals or get their insulin as well.

And when push comes to shove, they will not rise up against the government, otherwise those idiots know the local Barney Fifes will come down on them hard.

I'm looking forward to the Tricentennial celebration on July 4, 2020.  

We're gonna party like it's 2076 up in this bitch.

Might as well since there's a good chance we will have crumbled into a sad pile of limbs and leftover pinball machine parts by the time the real date rolls around.
