I've seen a lot of bad signatures, but this one? it's just doodles. Sure, lots of signatures are just doodles, but at least they look like something.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Sorry for the tweet-bomb, but it's worth having this stuff from the horses' mouths (and also the reminder that Republicans, as a party, are cynical crooks who'll do anything to preserve their power).

I'm kinda beginning to fear that there's no low they won't be willing to sink to.

But I mean, doesn't that just doom their (The GOP) chances in 2020? Like if all they care about is power and control...doens't the prospect of losing it by backing this ship that's going down hold any water for them?

Like I don't get it.

One would think, but I guess that depends if "they" include the republican base or not.

Republican's have been fucking over their voters for decades. It's accepted so long as people get to keep their guns and gay convertion therapy.

^^^Pretty much. Again, policy-wise Trump isn't an outlier, he is the distillation of what Republicans have been since at least Nixon. There are no good Republicans. I mean, Ronald Reagan was an amoral, braindead moron who conned Americans with 'trickle down economics' and sold weapons to right wing Iranian terrorists to fund right wing Central Americans in order to subvert people's movements by, among other things, slaughtering nuns.


As far as the parties go, the generational shift thing is happening and it looks to be a pretty steep cliff (esp. from Gen Y onward), but it's slower/later than a lot of people expected because (among other things) white boomers are 1) way worse than anyone expected (well, fellow white people at least -- nobody else is that surprised) & 2) aren't dying soon enough. I'm not saying that would mean the end of systemic racism, sexism, classism, grifting, or other fundamentals of colonialism that sustain conservatism & pervade my country. Only that the death of the Republican Party would be a positive step. In a Necessary But Not Sufficient kind of way. And if our species still exists by then.

Hmm I would assume you mean that about all the politicians and the elite. To be fair.

So Trump got China to the table and is about to sign a deal for an additional 1 trillion dollars and balancing trade. This will be his largest win for his administration. So he also increased manufacturing too during his time.

The sky did not fall and he is making general advanced progress in the area his base really voted for him. This is good for America as China 2020–2030 is going to be a economic powerhouse (well if they can keep their scaling together.. diff convo).

So, special counsel's office is disputing the accuracy of at least some of the Buzzfeed story, though BF isn't necessarily backing down from their reporting as of yet and are requesting clarification (which they will definitely not get from Mueller) and are also following up with their sources: https://www.cnn.com/...ller/index.html


Suffice to say, everyone should hold off on getting their sparklers and champagne out for now.

They could uncover a Trump-Putin sex tape and it wouldn't matter.

I assume Nico has never seen the dead parrot sketch. Although to be fair, Palin didnt add mysogenist white suppremacist edges to his character.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Something about some Maga-kiddies from a catholic school harassing a Native American march of some sort...
