Yeah, so here is the problem with the whole "no collusion/collusion isn't against the law" canard...(Quote) https://www.brookings.edu/research/presidential-obstruction-of-justice-the-case-of-donald-j-trump-2nd-edition/
The contrast between Bush and Trump?I found an interesting article about the Bush legacy (centred around facilitating a soft landing for the Cold War) and what has come after. Essentially, the argument goes that the post-war architecture served us very well during the cold war, but...See More »
Is this t-shirt in poor taste? Asking for a friend who has to go to a baby shower of a woman he doesn't know very well.
You're my rock. My port in a storm..."I can't be both your rock and your port in a storm, mate, 'cause, you know, because that's just a shipwreck." I'm watching the third season of the Australian show Rake. Bloody Hell, is it funny...
I love the idea that I could be a degenerate drunk...But I flirt with it, not following through to the logical conclusion. I worry that my enthusiasm might be corrupting others. They like having me around, and I like bantering with them. But I'm more educated than they are, and I worry that they think...See More »
Who wants a constitutional crisis for Christmas?A lot of sealed indictments are under the tree, just waiting to be opened. Don Jr. and maybe Jared's names are on the naughty list. All Manafort wants for Christmas is a presidential pardon. In all likelihood, we are going to find out about...See More »
I want the US to exercise an irrealist foreign policy.I want to enforce Obama's redline. But I want it to be thicker this time. Murder a journalist in an embassy? Arms deals are off, and we ain't giving parts for the weapons you already bought. Attack the Ukraine? Guess who the next NATO member is......See More »
I hate the smell of bananas.And the taste, of course. But one gets to me sooner than the other. I say I'm allergic (I claim it's a "Freudian allergy"), but it's really that the smell makes me wretch. Anyone else have something similar?
Ah good. Trump is undermining the justice system.John Roberts disagrees, but good news! Thanks to Trump's clarification that judges are political, we can freely ignore the judgments of the judges he appointed. MAGA!
So Trump continues to disrespect the military...Marinebob: you okay with all this? Belittling veterans, war prisoners, families of soldiers who died in combat serving the country, officers who have served the country honourably. Didn't serve himself (bone spurs, apparently). Doesn't honour the...See More »
Trump is melting down about Mueller again ....Is it an indication that indictments, including of Don Jr. are coming soon? Instead of wasting his time demonstrating it on Twitter, Trump should just get "Guilty!" tattooed on his forehead.
I almost forgot about the collusion....Trump managed not to talk about the Mueller investigation for almost a month ... and I think a lot of people forgot it was going on. Day after the election? Boom. It's like he can't help advertising how guilty he is ... On the other hand, not...See More »
Ever have those days ...... where you just know you are a waste of space, and can see yourself carving into your neck with a straight razor? It's been that kinda week...
That immigration crisis?It'll mysteriously disappear after the midterm elections. And then reappear again during the impeachment proceedings. And then disappear again, until 2020. Those immigrants! It's like they have such a rigid schedule...🤔
The problem for American Conservatives ...... who support Trump? Is always having to say you are sorry. Is the left engaging in irresponsible rhetoric? Sure, but Trump... That's the problem with "norm-breaking". When you break them, then nobody has to pay attention to them. Which is fine,...See More »
The market says Trump sucks.Trump said rising stock prices were the proof of how good his presidency was for the economy. In fact, it probably had little to do with him. Now the S&P500 is below where it was when Trump took office. Analysts believe the market is responding to...See More »
Got Milk? Seriously, I drink about a little a day. Didn't know it was a racist thing. I wonder if they also drink chocolate milk?🤔
So is Trump dumb enough....... to believe we are dumb enough to believe that he's dumb enough to believe that MBS didn't have Jamal Khashoggi killed and dismembered (and not necessarily in that order)? 🤔 Yes, he may actually be that dumb.
Why is Trump trying to turn the US into Venezuela?Leadership based on a cult of personality? Check. Attacking independent media outlets? Check. Borrowing massive amounts of money when the economy is booming? Check. Intervening politically in private business? Check. Trying to get the central...See More »
Yeah, but unfortunately I'm ugly ... ... and I drink. I can, however, recite all of Marlon Brando's lines from Apocalypse Now from memory. And the most important ones from Last Tango in Paris. So I got that working for me ...
