Roughly half of voters who said they voted for Donald Trump last November, 49 percent, believe Trump won the popular vote, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.

That sounds horrible until you look deeper into the methodology, the internals, and the way responses were interpreted. .

Let me fix it for you: Roughly ALL of Donald Trump voters believe FUCK YOU LIB MEDIA. Further, roughly ALL Donald Trump voters believe FUCK FAKE POLLS. Roughly 99% went beyond the survey questions to add, "SUCK IT LIBS, HAHAHAHAHA."

I wish people online would stop leaning in to this "it's all a distraction" analysis. for one, punditry is a sickness when almost anyone does it, but more importantly it's really disrespectful to the trans folks this is directly affecting.

Withi respect, these positions are not irreconcilable. It's a distraction with vile consequences for my queer brothers and sisters.

It makes the cynicism all the more evill.

And--at the risk of punditry; sorry, evol j--it's an inept distraction insofar as there's no distraction that would ever crowd out the firing of Sessions and/or Mueller if that's what's on the way.

Classic con man misdirection: pay attention to how I'm fucking over this disadvantaged community with this hand so you don't notice how I'm fucking over that disadvantaged community with the other.

Heard yesterday, I think, that if Trump appointed a new AG during August recess then 1) no confirmation hearing and 2) AG stays on until ... 2019?

Also heard all these dummies saying "oh, but what honorable, honest, trustworthy, independent candidate would possibly agree to the post after he fired Sessions?" Duh, exactly.

It's definitely a way to consolidate right wing support

Remarkable achievement for Pence that whenever a polarizing decision comes down we discuss influence of Bannon and others but never the VP.

VP has nudged POTUS culturally rightward at every turn, yet we react to trans military announcement w talk of Tony Perkins and FRC. Amazing.

Folks, who's the chief advocate for FRC -- and the broader conservative movement -- in this White House? It sure as hell isn't Steve Bannon.

No doubt some reporter will find out which tv channel aired something about transgendered exactly two minutes before trump started tweeting.

One of the many things I don't understand, Sessions reportedly offered his resignation several weeks ago and Trump did not accept it. What is going on now? What is different?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 15:06 (six years ago) link

Wow, not even someone actually named Jeff Davis is willing to unquestioningly support this guy.

okapi paste (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 26 July 2017 15:07 (six years ago) link

Xp Can't have someone resign! Oh no, that reflects badly. Gotta support the team*. Or fire him.

(*can totally hear Trump say the exact same thing like David Puddy would)

this is a classic Donnie Two Scoops "Stupid - like a fox!" move. Taking people by surprise, provoking opponents, re-directing nat'l conversation etc.

Only solution I see is to a) make seatbelts optional again, b) make it clear that seatbelts are an invention of snowflake liberals and c) sit back and watch lots of Trump voters sail through their own windscreens and out of the voting populace

Senator Luther Strange (stevie), Wednesday, 26 July 2017 15:42 (six years ago) link

Only bright side to all this is that if/when the nation finally rises up against the vile shitheel, no transgender lives will be threatened in the futile act of defencing him

Senator Luther Strange (stevie), Wednesday, 26 July 2017 15:43 (six years ago) link

Could Congress pass an amendment abolishing the Executive Branch, D would probably be dumb enough to not know that's him

Neanderthal, Wednesday, 26 July 2017 15:46 (six years ago) link

Uncovering political hypocrisy is very difficult, I know. Graham says Trump is being weak with Sessions; he needs to do whatever he's going to do, not "play around the edges." Which I believe describes every single Republican during the gradual acceptance of Donald Trump as the party's nominee last year, with the possible exception of low-energy Jeb.

pretty sure if Jeb! was a U.S. senator or rep and not a governor he'd be smiling alongside some other congressional shitheels now and prancing merrily along in lockstep with DJT.

Study was already done re: cost of transgender soldiers transitioning. Deemed negligible.

The only person who ran on the Republican side who I can't see supporting Trump even as a senator is Kasich, and that is not so much because he is reasonable but because he has a gigantic bastard streak that he buried to make himself look reasonable to a national audience.

(xposts) True enough--that plus extreme personal pique, plus the fact he'd never be running for the nomination again.

I might be misremembering, but I thought Kasich reached some kind of rapprochement towards the end. He did skip the convention.

I honestly think with enough outrage about liberals telling you to use seat belts and air bags you could use right wing media to market and sell some sort of spike-covered face mask that would puncture airbags rendering them useless.

The Maverick's statement:

The President's tweet this morning regarding transgender Americans in the military is yet another example of why major policy announcements should not be made via Twitter.

The statement was unclear. The Department of Defense has already decided to allow currently-serving transgender individuals to stay in the military, and many are serving honorably today. Any American who meets current medical and readiness standards should be allowed to continue serving. There is no reason to force service members who are able to fight, train, and deploy to leave the military—regardless of their gender identity. We should all be guided by the principle that any American who wants to serve our country and is able to meet the standards should have the opportunity to do so—and should be treated as the patriots they are.

I'm sure McCain was frustrated that there wasn't any pending anti-trans legislation he could've voted for immediately after writing that.
