I'm sure Pelosi is looking smug right now thinking the won the interdimensional chess game by making Trump look even crazier....
...which isn't helping anyone, because thanks to that, right now there are people who WILL view Trump as a god on earth.
The sort of people who believe in QAnon.
The sort of people that goes on a shooting rampage.

By Lunatic Go To PostIs centrism a dirty word in the US like socialism?
By Lunatic Go To PostIs centrism a dirty word in the US like socialism?Apparently so, but there’s a weird misunderstanding as to what a centrist is. Centrists are people like Amy Klobuchar and John Delaney, not Nazi sympathizers.

By Xpike Go To Postcentrist people in the us think the solution is for nazis and not nazis to reach a compromise on what the nazis are allowed to doWho are these Nazis? Anyone who supports Trump?
Eh, I think Centrist is pretty focused on Democrats that immediately give ground to the right on topics that are generally important to the base as a whole. It's fucked because a republican can lean left and it's just whatever but when a democrat leans right, because the party doesn't even know what the fuck it is anymore, it becomes something more. There's obvious, blatant bluedog pandering and there's stuff that needs much better context imo
I don't really lump race in there because racism is a bipartisan effort historically lol. There's very little teeth to the racist labeling stuff they fling around these days in particular...

Centrism has no constituency in America. Most people who think themselves to be in the political center are actually cross pressured with opinions that span the political spectrum.

Nice! As an aside too that guy has great vids to check out. He helped me understand UK vs Great Britain vs England vs etc etc.

Depends. Are you a Bernie fan? Then yes and even warren qualifies. Are you over the age of 35? Probably not a dirty word.

Galaxy brain president in full effect:
U.S. President Donald Trump stepped up a series of attacks on automakers on Wednesday for not backing his administration's plan to roll back Obama-era fuel efficiency rules, singling out Ford Motor in particular for backing a deal with California for stricter fuel economy standards.
Trump said company founder Henry Ford would be "very disappointed if he saw his modern-day descendants wanting to build a much more expensive car, that is far less safe and doesn't work as well, because execs don't want to fight California regulators."What a time
Ford said in a statement that it is focused on acting to protect the environment while also protecting the affordability of vehicles. "This agreement with California provides regulatory stability while reducing CO2 more than complying with two different standards," it said.
"My proposal to the politically correct Automobile Companies would lower the average price of a car to consumers by more than $3000, while at the same time making the cars substantially safer. Engines would run smoother. Very little impact on the environment! Foolish executives!" Trump tweeted earlier.I need to get more into the business of making shit up to get ahead
In the America presented on their news and opinion website, WesternJournal.com, tradition-minded patriots face ceaseless assault by anti-Christian bigots, diseased migrants and race hustlers concocting hate crimes. Danger and outrages loom. A Mexican politician threatens the “takeover” of several American states. Police officers are kicked out of an Arizona Starbucks. Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, proposes a “$100 billion handout” for black families.Freedom of press was a mistake
The Western Journal is not quite a household name. Until recently, some of its most prolific writers used pseudonyms. Though it publishes scores of stories each week about national politics, the company has no Washington bureau, or any other bureaus. Indeed, it rarely dispatches reporters into the world to gather news firsthand.
In the parallel universe of Facebook, though, The Western Journal has been among the most popular and influential publications in America, shaping the political beliefs of more than 36 million deeply loyal readers and followers. In the three years ending in March, according to a New York Times analysis, Western Journal’s Facebook posts earned three-quarters of a billion shares, likes and comments, almost as many as the combined tally of 10 leading American news organizations that together employ thousands of reporters and editors.

Spokane Mayor David Condon, police Chief Craig Meidl say state Rep. Matt Shea is unfit for office
For those not caught up on Shea's bullshit
Something something but antifa.
The Guardian and The Spokesman-Review reported last week that Shea has had close ties with a group that claimed to conduct “patriotic and biblical training on war for young men.”
Further reporting by The Spokesman-Review on Sunday, based on leaked emails and other documents, detailed how Shea compiled dossiers on the City Council members in 2017, sought to purchase GPS trackers, fretted about contact with federal agents and kept a blacklist of suspected informants in his network.
The emails and documents also revealed that Shea plotted to establish a “provisional government” in the event of a collapse and boasted about his efforts to “turn back the tide” of those who practice Islam in the United States.
Spokane Valley Mayor Rod Higgins questioned the credibility of recent news reports as well as Sheriff Knezovich and two former Shea associates who have become whistleblowers, Jay Pounder and Tanner Rowe.
For those not caught up on Shea's bullshit
A week before his re-election last year, state Rep. Matt Shea denied that a leaked manifesto he wrote was a road map for a holy war, one that would pit conservative Christian “patriots” against Muslim and Marxist “terrorists.”
Rather, Shea insisted, the document titled “Biblical Basis for War” contained notes for a scholarly sermon on war in the Old Testament.
But newly leaked emails, first reported by The Guardian on Wednesday, as well as a video on Shea’s public Facebook page, reveal the Spokane Valley lawmaker has had close ties with a group called Team Rugged that trained children, teens and men in their early 20s for religious combat.
“The entire purpose behind Team Rugged is to provide patriotic and biblical training on war for young men,” a man identified as the group’s leader, Patrick Caughran, wrote in a July 2016 email to Shea. “Everything about it is both politically incorrect and what would be considered shocking truth to most modern christians. There will be scenarios where every participant will have to fight against one of the most barbaric enemies that are invading our country, Muslims terrorists.”
Something something but antifa.
