US Politics January 2018: "You All Just Got A Lot Richer"

If I'm reading that correctly, his approval has fallen among...literally everyone?

I mean it's a negligible drop among his supporters, obvs, but a drop is a drop.

at any moment I can turn around and read the letters TRUMP on a building visible from my window

and unlike other licensing deals, he owns the dang thing

Rep. Brendan Boyle of PA is today's new hero.

Doctors, lawyers and soldiers have to prove that they’re mentally competent to do their jobs. Should the president?

That’s what Rep. Brendan Boyle, a Pennsylvania Democrat, proposed on Tuesday, when he introduced a bill that would require the president-elect to pass a physical and mental medical examination before swearing in. Although written to broadly encompass anyone elected to the nation’s highest office, the bill is clearly aimed at President Trump. It’s even named after one of the president’s recent tweets: the Standardizing Testing and Accountability Before Large Elections Giving Electors Necessary Information for Unobstructed Selection Act. (That’s STABLE GENIUS in acronymese.)

A profile in courage

Paul Ryan calls Trump comments referring to Haiti and African nations as a “shithole’ as "very unfortunate, unhelpful."

I'm willing to bet that before the end of the year, Trump will say the N-word either into a live mic, or on an Oval Office recording that becomes public. I think we should start an ILX pool.

paul ryan retire bitch

Paul Ryan calls Trump's use of the n-word "very unfortunate, unhelpful."

Paul Ryan calls the stream of Donald Trump urine currently cascading across Ryan's face "blvery blunfortunate, blunhelpfulblbl."

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday:

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/11/trump-davos-mnuchin-hangout-for-globalists-336503

"I don’t think it’s a hangout for globalists," Mnuchin said, using a term popularized by the nationalist wing of the Republican Party.

And today:

“I didn’t realize that it was the global elite," Mnuchin says of the World Economic Forum gathering Davos, Switzerland.

KY going to be first to enact Medicaid work requirements. Wonder how those folks will find a way to pin this on Clinton/ Obama?

lol

The whine of whipped curs

NEW: Sens. Tom Cotton and David Perdue issue joint statement on President Trump's reported "sh*thole" comment, saying "we do not recall the President saying these comments specifically." https://t.co/2sBsSAqrLY pic.twitter.com/NMMSAxUHBi

— CBS News (@CBSNews) January 12, 2018

And in contrast:

meanwhile Sen. Tim Scott has talked to fellow South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham, who was also in the meeting and Graham confirmed reports of Trump's comments are "basically accurate." https://t.co/0lSW8LSg5k

tom cotton's mouth is a shithole

he's up there with ted cruz in the execrable conservatives rankings

i don't much about Perdue. but he just issued a joint statement with tom cotton, so i'm assuming ew

lying for god and country

And to what fucking end, really.

Reuters: U.S. ambassador to Panama has written a letter to the State Department announcing his resignation saying he resigns on principle and can no longer serve the Trump administration

...Donald Trump urine currently cascading across Ryan's face "blvery blunfortunate, blunhelpfulblbl, burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb Grim Reapah!"

Some people say he said a bad word, other people say he didn't say it.

So naturally the public consensus should be that it's reasonable doubt, unprovable, he said/he said, nonissue, nothingburger; can't we move on from this pettiness and get on with doing the important work of MAGAing.

He may as well just have taken a dump on the desk, then directed several people to say they "don't recall" any desk-dumping. Any reports to the contrary are fake news from the dishonest media.

re: Panamanian ambassador - doubtless that ambassador will be replaced by someone who doesn't believe in the Panama Canal.

Many people are saying the White House is the best managed, most beautiful shithole.

didn't he already call the White House a dump lol

kinda going off what y'all were talking about above, there was a recent Deadcast where they tried to recap Trump's first year so far, there's so much that everyone just forgot about. gonna be amazing to read a week-by-week recap of all this one day

President Trump freely admits to defecating on the Oval Office desk before members of congress and the media but refutes the assertion that he prefaced the act by declaring that he was going to 'take a (s-word) all over this (b-word)'. The public remains divided on the appropriateness of the use of profanity by a standing president in referring to a bodily function such as this.

re: Panamanian ambassador - doubtless that ambassador will be replaced by someone who doesn't believe in the Panama Canal.

At the rate they're going, it's doubtful they'll replace him at all.

The Trump Administration: Putting the "anal" in "canal."

it's frankly ridiculous that the obummer administration saw fit to appoint an ambassador for a style of hat anyway, this opportunity to shrink government is a good thing and should be embraced by a grateful nation

xp to frogbs

when the Arpaio for Senate announcement came out, I had the uncomfortable experience of needing to recall that Trump had pardoned him, an incident that would have haunted previous administrations. I still vividly recall the Marc Rich pardon scandal and that was on Clinton's last day in office.

Trump putting the everything-besides-"ry" in (our) shithole country

OK that's it, no more puns today

I keep thinking of that FDR statue upthread and how there will one day be a trump statue with "all haitians have aids" or something inscribed on it

with KFC bucket replacing Fala

Trump's statue has to have him tossing a roll of paper towels

But of course
