Trump, June 2017: From [Covfefe] with Love

2:00 PM: President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump participate in the Investiture Ceremony for Justice Neil Gorsuch

2:00 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meeting with President Juan Orlando Hernández of Honduras

3:00 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meeting with President Jimmy Morales of Guatemala

4:00 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a bilateral meeting with Vice President Óscar Ortiz of El Salvador

4:45 PM: Vice President Pence participates in a meeting with President Jovenel Moïse of Haiti

Looks like Yam is sticking to the ceremonial shit, or that Gorsuch investiture has a hella long cocktail hour.

My message was be transparent,share the details of the bill and have an actual debate, if the bill is so bad that it needs to be secret, it's best to drop it.

xp

trump tweeting about hillary again lol

^^^ he's on campus now. It's a conference, so he's cheating.

get near him and yell for Mother

ok lol

I still dont get the strategery in letting the president look like a whiny fucking baby all day long

as a blanket thing i should say that my attitude has become a fair bit more morbsian post-election than it was beforehand.

i figured that hillary would be a mediocre-decent dem president; now i'm near convinced that the hold the clinton wing has on liberalism in this country is completely malignant. (granted this is an impression gleaned from social media where conflict and stupidity are maximized)

i mean, look at this shit:

Bernie Sanders explains his no vote -- one of only two in the Senate -- on Russia/Iran sanctions: pic.twitter.com/rHOou7ObZb

— George Zornick (@gzornick) June 15, 2017

it's sanders' statement why he didn't vote for more russian sanctions: because there are also increased sanctions on iran, which endangers the nuclear agreement. only he and rand paul voted no

but look at those replies (if twitter even displays them correctly, a totally open question these days). it's one maniac paranoid democrat after another, with the same nutty line

leftists = mysoginists = russians = racists = bernie = spies = trump. they're all in it together!!

I would assume they're trying to steer Trump away from meeting with any other heads of state, because his optics are horrendous and he says dumb shit and then lies about it

I have been to international thingamabobs where they totally schedule the shit out of "side meetings" like that - one of the directors in my shop just went to a thing in Bratislava where the fucking PROGRAM AGENDA runs right up until 10pm or so because it's all stuff like that, big honchos talking to each other for 20 minutes, then huddle with staff, then another honcho-honcho chat, and on and on. With panels.

So this

Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, 'bleached' emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?

Prompted this, which I can't argue with.

could've stopped there

otm

is there a good argument for sanctions, ever? from what I've read they vastly disproportionately impact and endanger ordinary citizens

i could've done more to register people in wisconsin too but here we all are

The NY Times (too fringey?) has a rather pukey 'Politics' piece today accusing the Sanders movement of "inciting violence" in Alexandria. Really.

left unmentioned in the NYT piece:
1. Hodgkinson's history of domestic violence
2. Hodgkinson's obsession with Trump as pro-Russia "traitor"

yeah I was gonna say, this awful narrative-building is unfortunately not limited to social media

Crooked H: drug nickname or terrible 90s band?

can we smash the word "narrative" with a hammer, preferably Hillary's hammer

you can throw it under the bus here: Phrases I Never Want to Hear Uttered by Talking Heads/Press/Politicians Ever Again

Bleach the narrative.

haha oh wait Phrases I Never Want to Hear Uttered by Talking Heads/Press/Politicians Ever Again

I wish Jerry Harrison would just shut up for once.

Like, we get it Jerry Harrison.

Asked if America’s standing on the global stage was better under Barack Obama, McCain, a fervent critic of the previous administration’s foreign policy, responded: “As far as American leadership is concerned, yes.”

Shakey, that quote is from last Sunday, do keep up.

Oh NOW it's getting interesting...

Pence hires outside counsel to deal with Russia probe inquiries

— Post Politics (@postpolitics) June 15, 2017

If everyone else there isn't getting their own counsel by now, they're fools.

DNI Coats spent nearly 4 hours talking to Senate Intelligence Committee today. That is an unusually long meeting.

That or those were some really strong cocktails.

Like I mentioned before, the second Trump's lawyer told everyone they didn't need lawyers is exactly when they should have gotten lawyers.

I then heard there's a further trick McConnell is considering which could give only 2 or 4 hours TOTAL including debate. Here's how . . .8 pic.twitter.com/jzjgAovMWT

jfc

it's interesting that the sole rationale McConnell is going to have to get his caucus to vote for him is party unity and literally nothing else

this bill

it's a shame Mitch doesn't play baseball

just as the founding fathers intended

Nobody has seen it. Who knows, maybe after it passes it will turn out they actually like it!

whaddya want, a dictatorship of the majority?

does anyone like AHCA other than (some...most?) insurance companies?

i mean, the people who dislike it the most will die first.

I really don't get it. Slam through a mystery bill that no one will like for ... what gain?

is this scoop even real or is it yet another one of those baseless tweetstorms
