Trump speech in Long Island sounds particularly reprehensible

Senator Luther Strange (stevie), Friday, 28 July 2017 19:28 (six years ago) link

yeah he pulled MS-13 out of his butt the minute health care failed i guess ?

Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 28 July 2017 19:33 (six years ago) link

I don't buy the 'blame trump' thing for health care failing. the constant chaos out of the trump admin was one of the only reasons republicans could get this close to throwing a wrench into our health care system with a furtive late night vote on a shitty bill.

otm. I'd say the blame is on the 49 GOP Senators who voted for a terrible bill they all hoped would never become law

What dimension of the chessboard is it where you ignore people who are in power and/or an actual threat to you in favor of people who are mostly just chillin at home with a pitcher of margs?

Re: MS13, definitely culture-war chaff being thrown up as T. feels frustrated and thwarted (ditto the military transgender tweets). IMO it's not even about health care (which he doesn't understand the first thing about).

At present, I'm cautiously optimistic about the Russia investigations. Qualifying statements:
- No, I don't think it will lead to impeachment.
- No, we won't get a do-over of the election.
- No, I'm not even sure there will be anything like charges or indictments or people in jail.

However, it clearly gets under his skin that it's a thing at all, and that it doesn't just go away when he waves his Wand of President Power. Of the sucky options humanity has right now, one of the better ones is that he gets increasingly unhinged and keeps lashing out in random directions.

That said - as ever, I know that there are real people suffering at the business end of T.'s rages, and my heart aches for them. Further, the Russians can read news sites too, and so Russia and N. Korea are picking now (when everyone's presumably distracted by legislative kabuki) to act more aggressively.

But if current events accelerate Trump's cray-cray in ways that make his kind of politics increasingly unpopular and untenable, this may lead to better long-term options. Or so I continue to cautiously hope.

worst-case scenario is Trump nukes South Korea, which I can see happening.

Best-case scenario is Trump decides to bro down w Kim Jong Un (they have so much in common!), averting int'l crisis. I've said this before. Unfortunately I fear he's not smart enough for this tack.

I'm no foreign policy expert, but I would think nuking South Korea would give North Korea pause. Also, probably solve the North Korea problem!

A bipartisan group of roughly 40 House members has been meeting quietly over the past month to explore ways to stabilize Obamacare — efforts that are expected to take on greater urgency after the shocking collapse of the Senate’s Obamacare bill early Friday morning.

“This is our window to be relevant on a very real issue that impacts our constituents,” said one Republican lawmaker in the group who requested anonymity. The negotiations among the so-called Problem Solvers caucus will resume this morning, the lawmaker said.

Seriously? Problem Solvers?

I would support characters from PBS kids' shows replacing most of the government at this point tbh. MathNet could take over DOJ for example, the Electric Company could run Energy, Big Bird for Education... and now that being President consists largely of tweets, I think Ghostwriter could take over from Trump pretty seamlessly.

it's red meat for uniformed goons

The president encouraged law enforcement officers to be rougher with criminal suspects — and feel free to slam suspects’ head into their vehicles.

“When you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, I said, please don’t be too nice,” Trump remarked at Suffolk County Community College.

“Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over, like, don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody — don’t hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”

The crowd of officers erupted in cheers.
