Is Trump really a serious contender for the Republican nomination? - Page 196

Roseanne's Racism is the Tip of the Iceberg In Trump's 'Real America'
From someone who actually lives in Trump's 'Real America'

I think a lot of this has bubbled under the surface for a long time, but when the guy at the top behaves and thinks the way he clearly does, the surface breaks.

I know Trumpists who say "Sure he is a douche, but he is doing a great job with the economy and tax cuts and immigration, so that's the important thing.....", and I'm always arguing that if the guy at the top is a douche, then that is the biggest problem we face. There is a trickle down effect that will be felt by all. That's how Leadership works.

How many lies has he told at his rally as I type?

I used to think that Fact Checking (and debates) mattered in elections. Trump proved me wrong. He was a complete loser in all of the debates, he lied and lied his way through the campaign, and......it......... didn't.....fucking......matter.

And I'm so depressed about that fact.

I find it odd that someone who doesn’t “do” TV feels the need to crucify someone for something said on TV...FB...Twitter or whatever.

With a picture of President Donald Trump next to an orangutan, Bill Maher claimed Trump’s mother had sex with said orangutan.

While the Planet Of The Apes vs. Orangutan is a comparison, I was focused more on the Muslin Brotherhood. Christians are constantly berated and made fun of while Muslims are off-limits = double standard!!!

ABC was a CIA front for awhile, not surprised, Disney is all of that on roids...

There is an untold story about the ABC television network. It is about how a company in which CIA Director William Casey is a major player took over the network. The least of the questions this raises is whether Casey used his CIA position to help drive down the price of ABC stock, thereby facilitating the takeover.

ilduclo · 05.30.2018, 07:41 AM

Not to worry too much...the idiot class in the US hires dumb shits like Reagan, Shrub and Trump to fuck things up when things are going relatively well, then hires Clintons & Obamas to repair...

At least this has been the pattern for a while.....

BUT, the older, weirder voters that are doing this are dying off as is the meth and religion addled rural USA, so, as Mr Pinker says, things continue to be better, albeit at a pretty geologic pace...

What we gotta do is keep the efforts up and strive to minimize the damages these venal morons do..

I didn't "do" World War 2 either, but I can criticize Hitler.

so... steel and aluminum tariffs on friends and partners and allies but laying off china in exchange for ivanka’s trademarks

stinks to high heaven

Don't sweat it. Congress is on top of it. After all, that's their job.

funny! Looks like Trey Gowdey is trying to distance himself from the Benghazi debacle. Might be looking for a job on ABC? I could see him in a sitcom with a family of microcephalics

Wait....it reads "Trump's Trade Policy...." He has a "policy" in mind? There's a plan?

On a recent topic, I'm still shocked at GOP silence since those classified briefings. Nunes is up to something, isn't he? We are going to see it soon, right?

the plan is to keep pandering to the base and offer them the moon through absurd schemes and obsolete ideas. like salvation through coal mining.

basically it’s trump university + six bankruptcies, but at a global scale.

when the failure becomes evident he’ll blame someone else and the teslas will say it was soros/the cia/fluoride/swarthy utes: the soroastrian conspiracy.

Rob Instigator · 06.01.2018, 08:30 AM

Trump wants to remove all German cars, even though hundreds of thousands of them are built in plants IN THE USA with US workers.

Skuj · 06.01.2018, 12:54 PM

And once again The Dems shout loudly from the hilltops. I think.

trump brings on the death throes of white hegemony

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...9e7_story.html

Let’s not be deceived: The racial wedge Trump has driven through the United States cleaves us deeper all the time. It has been shown in innumerable studies and regression analyses that the main predictor of support for Trump is racial anxiety — far more than economic anxiety. That’s why Trump’s base remains rock-solid behind him even as the tax cut, in the first quarter, contributed to an 8 percent increase in corporate earnings but only a 1 percent increase in consumer spending — the lowest increase in five years — and even though coal jobs are disappearing faster than before, wages remain stuck and the promised return of manufacturing hasn’t happened.

Lost Roseanne episodes;

https://www.thedailybeast.com/found-...sodes?ref=home

S2 E3 FISH PEOPLE

In a delightful real-life crossover, Roseanne find herself guest-hosting an episode of InfoWars Action Alert QAnon News Hour. She knows only Alex Jones can help her get back on the trail of the real killers of Seth Rich. Roseanne has to move fast, and rely on her plucky, workin’ class wits when Alex Jones accidentally drinks fluoridated water, is caught under the path of a Deep State chemtrail, and mistakenly forgets to take his InfoWars MegaBlast TestestoSlam Super Vitamins. Jones and Roseanne form a fast friendship when she teaches him a valuable lesson about how Wal-Mart heavy duty tin foil is just as good as the name-brand stuff.
