Trump's America, March 2017: Using His Inside VOICE

Isn't Stone supposedly a swinger as well?

Exactly how much different is it to this tho tbh

in reality it it not some guys, it is sidney bristow

Every tough rightist in the Nixon and Reagan White Houses had boners for other men.

lol matthewtkk, that is spot on

Does it need to be pointed out that "20 Committee" is a WWII reference? 20 = XX in roman numerals = double-cross...

Also for some reason that Nixon tattoo makes me think of Church of the Subgenius

Who is that Nordic metal guy who dresses up like some kind of orc creature? Flynn looks like that guy.

Can you be more specific?

Mortiis?

Ah, beat me to it!

mortiis?

lol xp

from that WaPo article Ned linked:

Pressed by NBC’s Chuck Todd to explain Trump’s wiretapping claim, Rubio demurred.

“Look, I didn’t make the allegation,” he said. “I’m not the person that went out there and said it.”

He looked like he shaved and had growth hormones for his appearance this morning!

Yes! Mortiis. That's who Flynn looks like. Thank u Xp

That WaPo article is great.

Remember last month when Schindler was talking about his super duper secret intel that was going to send all the Trumpies to prison and blah blah blah.

Y'all should probably unfollow him before you get sucked into the liberal-friendly Alex Jones future.

This is some spectacular base-covering, tho - he's got all this info and he knows Trump's gonna die in jail BUT OH WAIT YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT AND HE'S GOING TO GET AWAY

Comey don't play dat

I think the specific Orc I was thinking of was a different one (think he captures Frodo and Sam when they climb the stairsor something) but you can see what i meant from that image you shared.

Trying to think if I was thinking of an actual witch from Jim Henson or gerry Anderson
the 2 images I can find taht relate are these
http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/The-Witches1-635x422-500x332.jpg
for Angelica Huston in the adaptation of Witches taht henson worked on.
I was thinking there was something in the Dark Crystal but witch from that looks very different.

and Gerry Anderson

though could have just been imagining what a witch would look like in his later puppet style.

Heh http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-reince-priebus-white-house-235703

That spokesman for Trump who was on Good Morning America a few minutes ago got roasted. Not sure who she is but it all came off as pretty much unhinged.

please tell me gma then cut to the world's greatest frisbee catching dog

tbf that dog is one of trump's top policy advisors

nice

Isn't that Trump spokeswoman one of Mike Huckabee's kids?

yeah, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She did the rounds yesterday too

That Politico article is hilar. This machine would be running so smoothly if not for that doofus Rience!

Isn't that Trump spokeswoman one of Mike Huckabee's kids?

Better keep her away from Trump's advisor

Close, the next segment was with Michael Jackson's son.

fun with "democracy" in GA

sorry; here:

Spicer is officially on the run - hasn't done an on-camera press briefing in a week, and won't be doing one today.

BBC talking "wire taps allegedly ordered by Pres. Obama" is uh...

such allegation

I've been trying to focus lately on the ways in which this clusterfuck could be beneficial in the long run. Part of me thinks that Turnip is such an unhinged and unfiltered exaggeration of every venal thing about the GOP that we may very well reach a tipping point where he ultimately toxifies much of the GOP platform. As we bear witness to the horrorshow of an unshackled GOP platform being put into practice, it feels like there's a shift occurring in the attitude of their opponents from aggrieved resignation to vehement denouncement. We're already seeing this to an extent wrt these town halls where people are decrying basic GOP talking points in a way that wasn't happening previously, but I have to imagine that much of their soft support is going to eventually melt away under these conditions. That rural Midwestern lady might be uncomfortable with particular groups that she's never interacted with directly but she might be more uncomfortable supporting a party that's increasingly associated with, say, anti-Semitic violence and a president who's unwilling to denounce these acts without somebody twisting his arm. Maybe not a perfect example of what I'm trying to get at, but basically: frothing maniacs are increasingly only appealing to other maniacs the longer they froth.

the Kochs aren't gonna stand for that!

has anyone asked you to stop using the word "turnip"?

Sure.

i really have no clue how everything will work out w/ trump but at a basic policy level i think things like the ACA repeal and other unpopular policy ideas, whether they are actualized or not, might fuck the GOP a little. bama's gone and it's going to be hard to continue to keep kicking him around when millions of people might lose their insurance. obv a lot depends on how well democrats expose GOP on those issues but we'll see

the Kochs aren't gonna stand for that!

i should really stop being surprised at the hypocrisy of these assholes but to think the Right has been flinging accusations of Soros-backed paid protestors and then they shamelessly roll out this Astroturfed bullshit.

sounds like the second iteration of the Muslim ban is being signed today, but nobody has much detail yet except that it's "limited" and no longer includes iraq

I really do think Trump's so stupid he thinks this new iteration of the travel ban is going to be applauded as totally rational and justified instead of attacked for being only slightly less unjustified than the previous one.*

*I do realize I am perhaps putting too much faith in the likes of CNN here, they really might be even dumber and might fall for this bullshit.

> no longer includes iraq

has he opened another hotel?

Lots of people, exposed to unvarnished GOP policy goals, especially if they actually become law, are going to be turned off. A wave election in 2018 is pretty much a sure thing. However, never discount the Democratic party's ability to piss off progressives and the American left by greedily going after more and more of a theoretical "center" that doesn't actually exist.

I worry that in response to all this undiluted wingnuttery plus the regular forgetfulness that, you know, the GOP candidate only won GEORGIA by five points, the actually-really-progressive Dem '16 platform is the one that gets watered down, partially due to the utterly infuriating misconception that a less progressive platform will let Dems "hold on" to "the center" and partially due to the fact that any Dem platform in 2018 or 2020 is going to have to first undo a bunch of awful stuff that this Congress does.

I half-jokingly forwarded the idea months ago but it's seeming more and more like the time is ripe for the parties to flip again. Starting with a horde of progressives taking advantage of rampant, simpleminded tribalism by running as Republicans.

I worry that the progressive left is ever going to come close to replicating the success of the Tea Party when it lacks anything resembling the big-money backing of the Kochs and their ilk. Especially considering Citizens United ain't getting overturned anytime soon.

Dems have plenty of money

I didn't say Dems, I said progressive left. I thought in the context of previous posts I didn't need to highlight the difference.
