Can't wait for everyone to pretend that we can go back to business as usual as soon as Trump is out of office. As though he isn't just a symptom of the sickness infecting the country. As though all of the right-wingers using Trump to curry favor with the general public aren't in favor of the same policies as him.

It's been mentioned before, but this is basically giving the next President, hopefully a Dem, a blank check even if for a short time.
Whoever the next president is, Republican or Democrat, is going down as the best president ever just because of who preceded him/her.

Do you remember that Obama got a nobel prize for simply not being Bush?

By Smokey Go To PostIt's been mentioned before, but this is basically giving the next President, hopefully a Dem, a blank check even if for a short time.If the stars align and this year is the wave it's expected to be and a Democrat wins the Presidency in 2020, they have trillions of dollars to get social welfare programs passed in 2021. They can reverse Trump's garbage tax cut and use the money to help improve peoples' lives with like health care and a college education.
Reminder:
Trump had economic anxiety about people of color handling money way back.
By John R. O’Donnell“Yeah, I never liked the guy. I don’t think he knows what the fuck he’s doing. My accountants in New York are always complaining about him. He’s not responsive. And it isn’t funny. I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else.”https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/trump-shithole-comment-racist-in-the-oval-office
I couldn’t believe I was hearing this. But Donald went on, “Besides that, I’ve got to tell you something else. I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is. I believe that. It’s not anything they can control. . . . Don’t you agree?” He looked at me straight in the eye and waited for my reply.
“Donald, you really shouldn’t say things like that to me or anybody else,” I said. “That is not the kind of image you want to project. We shouldn’t even be having this conversation, even if it’s the way you feel.”
“Yeah, you’re right,” he said. “If anybody ever heard me say that . . . holy shit . . . I’d be in a lot of trouble. But I have to tell you, that’s the way I feel.”

Don't forget that many congressional Democrats are quite conservative and that most are too cowardly to increase the deficit for welfare programs.
Matt Christman made a good point on the latest Chapo: Americans tend to go for the most radical departure from the previous president since Nixon. From Nixon to Carter to Reagan/Bush to Clinton to Dubya to Obama to Trump.
If a Dem is president after Trump, it is far more likely to be a milquetoast "middle of the road" candidate then someone like Bernie. That's who the party apparatus will want (the eternal dream of winning suburban Republicans) and people are fucking tired of thinking about Trump every damn day. People don't want to be inspired, they want to stop being scared and embarrassed.
I don't really get the breathless reporting of Trump's racism at the moment. We've known that he's racist for decades. Who we should be going after are the elected cowards and party officials who supported him anyways.
Our whole country is a bunch of abusive assholes who hide behind the biggest asshole in the room. Enablers are the worst. Plus we just let scum fucky GOP from past eras come back and do the same shit over and over. Dems too really. We hold no one accountable for anything then wonder why shit sucks.
Conference calls with unmuted lines do tend to suck... well, more than conference calls otherwise inherently suck.
Wouldn't expect much from the geniuses who used their primary mobiles and emails to conduct their russia bullshit.
Yeah I was reading about that earlier. Stormy should have asked for more money considering her leverage.
Team RobNBanks?
Emigration from Norway to the U.S. hit its peak in 1882 when almost 29,000 mostly poor Norwegians crossed the Atlantic. In 2016, however, only 1,114 Norwegians moved to the U.S., while 1,603 Americans moved to Norway.
Trump’s comments were unlikely to trigger an exodus from one of the wealthiest countries in the world.
Oil-rich Norway ranks fourth in the world for GDP per person, according to the World Bank, compared with the U.S., which was eighth. Norway also boasts a universal health care system, low unemployment and $1 trillion “rainy day” fund fueled by its offshore oil and gas resources that helps pay for generous pensions and other social welfare programs.
Norwegians also have a life expectancy of 81.8 years on average, making them the 15th longest-living people in the world, according to the World Health Organization. The U.S. is in 31st place, with a life expectancy of 79.3 years.
“Why would people from Norway want to immigrate here? They have actual health care, and longer life expectancy,” author Stephen King wrote on Twitter.
Last year, Norway soared to the top slot in the World Happiness Report. The U.S. was 14th in the latest ranking, down from No. 13 in 2016, and over the years Americans steadily have been rating themselves less happy.
National Norwegian broadcaster TV2 went to the streets in Oslo on Friday, asking people if they wanted to move to the U.S. None said they wanted to leave.
“Absolutely not,” one unidentified man said. And an unnamed woman added: “If they get a new president.”
I'm pretty happy to live in a city where one can get a different cultural/ethnic cuisine every day for the whole month or longer. Fuck Trump's bullshit.

Not to crib Zakaria, but I do question the effectiveness of "college education" without a substantial expansion of vocational apprenticeship programs to back everything up.
I would argue that a pervasiveness and ubiquity of community colleges with pronounced graduation rates in technical certification programs would be more pragmatic than opening up new universities, even though, yes, I do think more universities should be opened up too, but priorities should be established.
There's actually a shortage of good plumbers and electricians in the PNW from what I've been told by folks. A bunch are overworked and basically working between several PNW cities. And a lot can't even do homes too often unless it's a big project worth their time since they keep getting contracted out for new developments or updates to municipal things like the Zoo.
By reilo Go To PostReminder that Joe Biden is more popular than Hillary among young people because he's a white male:Biden gained enormously by being associated with Obama. He will become less and less liked the more he has to stand on his own.
P.S. If my grandparents were the greatest generation, the Boomers have to be the worst by far.
Babyboomers aren't even moving out of their huge homes they paid off in spite of being like a widow(er) in a 1600 sq ft 5 bedroom house. So even the people of previous gens who can manage to afford the mortgage or stash a bunch of people in such a place to live generationally are seeing a housing shortage in many places. And those shortages also drive up the affordability of everything for everyone. Just the other day I looked up the rent for a place some blocks off me, 1200+ in rent for a 400 sq foot studio.
Fuck you Biden.
Fuck you Biden.
By HasphatsAnts Go To Post1200 for a studio sounds like a stealShut it bay area boy. That shit down there is even more fucked up.
By KYM Go To PostHe's just the image of half the US.
The people who resonate well with him, who voted for him, are basically him, just poor.
Half? I'd go with 2/3th tbh.
And we gonna pretend that its just poor folk whos eatin up this shit from the pres?
By Random Ass Username Go To PostCan we stop shitting on poor people? Like that's part and parcel to the whole fucking problem.
*daps*
Our president is so very stupid. His handlers are even dumber.
"One thing that mystified senior intelligence officials, they said, was that Trump had been briefed on the FISA issue, and they believed he understood it. It was the top legislative priority of the intelligence agencies."

Lol the turd pulled a "where are you really from" on a korean-american intelligence analyst. Of course he would....
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostThat's what I'm surprised about. Not to mention stereotyping all trump voters as deplorable evil people.Uhh... I'm just reallly having a really hard time wrapping my head around that one.
You can't be a Trump voter and be "a good person"... It just does not compute. History will have to judge you very unkindly, as you were literally an enabler.
And if you're poor and still voted for Trump, then you're exactly the type of mark that GOP donors laugh at too, and laugh hysterically they do. You're stupider than fathomable.
(Btw, I'm not referring specifically to you. I know you probably voted for Bernie, because you're a good person.)

If they have been a good individual, but uneducated in political issues and chose to vote Trump because he seems the one more relatable than Hillary does that make them deplorable?

Jesus the man bribed a pornstar he slept with (possibly paid ahead of time to cause I doubt he gets women based on his personality and good looks) and he is such a shit show that story is gonna barely blip on most people's radar. Like he is such a shit show no one expect his wife to divorce him cause its obvious she doesn't care. November can't come fast enough
By blackace Go To PostNo offense, but this is some bullshit…
Hillary should have doubled down and increased the deplorable ratio, honestly.
So decided to talk to a black guy at the hall of presidents at Disney World and he's in the sunken place. Conservative and voted Trump. Pro tax cuts. I sat there like ?!?!?!.

The best thing about people voting for tax cuts is most don't even see them, the opposite even happens, have fun with your double taxed middle class income or worse ass especially when cities and states are bleeding your ass dry. Most places the prop tax is rising by a substantial amount every year (this also raises rents), sales tax ain't nothing to scoff at, gas tax, vice tax, etc etc.
I thought hey person of color probably leans left instead I heard that and hey the tax cuts are good. Sams club was losing Walmart money. Then he seems to think Republicans are pro immigrant.
