US Politics, August 2018: There must be something wrong, please recheck that poll!

Yeah this Papadopoulos bombshell needs a new thread.

Really, because he seems like a fucking sad fat white man in an adult diaper that somehow managed to live this long with a too hot for him wife and too good for him job. That seems completely ordinary.

This is funny, but only because trump is an insane through the looking glass grotesque version of your average priviliged white man. Florida retirement homes are not filled with megalomanics who ars pathological liars.

Maybe i am insane but he seems like a very, very bad thing to me—a distillation of everyhing rancid about america, but because he is a distillation far more concentrated, 100 proof American beserk

Treesh go to bed

xxxp - Obama caused enormous personal anxiety to the Republican base - they weren't just pretending to believe he was always on the verge of springing his Stalinist trap, taking their guns and sending them to gulags. We can call it irrational and stupid, but it was real.

is this really true? i would love to hear some personal stories about the anxiety you witnessed. i have some i could share w/ you about hyperventilating children.

It¨s not, no. That personal anxiety was caused by Fox, blaming it on Obama is wrong.

a lot of trump's supporters (a minority, but a numerically large amount) are just as bad or worse than he is.

I think a big difference is that Bush was triumphalist while Trump is revanchist. Bush and his cronies really did seem to think they were going to democratize the entire middle east and improve the economy. Trump just wants power and to stop things from happening. Bush caused more harm, but his legacy will be easier to get rid off. Trump is something else, and it'll probably require impeachment proceedings against at least Kavanaugh. Stuff like that.

over a hundred people in his administration were indicted or convicted of corruption

The possibility that this won't happen with Trump is bad not good though.

are we really having the Trump-is-the-culmination vs Trump-is-an-aberration argument again?

"Bush's legacy is easier to get rid of" - - only if we're talking strictly within America's borders.
