So I was looking through the fox news comments on their story about the white supremacist University of Maryland student who stabbed the black military officer visiting campus. Most of the comments blamed his behavior on "liberal brainwashing" and of course fox's article never mentioned his participation in the alt-reich group. You have to be pretty far out there to think people become white supremacists because of dirty liberal college professors or whatever. Like, the cognitive dissonance required to believe that Trump supporters and alt-right folks are only ever victims and never the perpetrators is incredible. Bubbles can be popped, these people live in a concrete fortress.
Well of course they blame minorities for white supremacy!

Easier to blame your opponents than your team for these people.

If you throw yourself out in front of people like the stabber, you'll get attacked for it.
Voila: instant victimhood.

Reddit is quite the frustrating hellscape of political discussion.
Me: "Modern Conservatives vote straight Republican."
Other Person: "Oh, so you know how all Conservatives vote now???"
Me: "Here's Exit Poll data from 1976 through 2016, Conservatives have voted for Republicans 3:1 or more every Election since Reagan, so Yes I do."
Apparently now we're reduced to arguing whether or not Conservatives vote for the Conservative Party that brags about how Conservative it's candidates are...

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Just looking at some old news for some reason and man, Democrats need to do better at messaging. Like the military, you'd have people swear up and down that libruls hate the veterans and shit and then I read this headline from an old article on military.com
http://www.military.com/veteran-jobs/search/government-jobs/federal-hiring-of-veterans-new-high.html
Federal Hiring of Veterans Reaches 20-Year High
I'm more engaged in politics than most and this is the first I've heard of it? Why?

Ossoff's commercials are so good. The talent and instincts are there. I'm just outside of his district but I'm so involved in his race now. I don't want to lose an opportunity for this guy to rise, there's just not any other viable opportunities for democrats in Georgia for national exposure outside of a House seat.

Jon Oliver mentioned it tonight but I've noticed it as well over the past few weeks. The Trump black hole is so large that it's literally taken over the entire news media. This has let a lot of stuff slip through the cracks even though there are actually horrific things being considered and implemented.
I mean, you answered your own question. Democrats and the Obama administration in particular are/were horribly at taking credit and playing up work that is easy to play up as wins. I don't know if Obama felt it was below the dignity of the Presidential office or not, but it was really damn stupid.

I know, I need a not trump podcast at this point to keep up.
The main thing I can think of in the last couple weeks is the Erdogan protesters being beat up, which got some coverage but would be a gigantic thing in any other presidency, and the ISP reclassification getting passed 2-1 into the final phase for the final vote, because tech news is covering it.
I don't know what else is going on, but I'm sure there's a ton.
One of the things that annoys me the most about the Democratic party right now is how the Dems have essentially allowed the Republicans to get away with claiming ownership of the military and veterans. It's a disgusting thing, to insinuate that Democrats hate the military and don't care about veterans, so why the hell Dems haven't made more of a stink about it is beyond me.
I'm seriously waiting for some elected Dem to genuinely get pissed the next time a Republican spews that shit and just goes off about how sick it is for Republicans to act like liberals don't care about veterans.

"If they go, low we go high."
Good words to live by, but it doesn't work when dealing with someone that doesn't play by your rules. Dems are so worried about appearing the good guys that they forgot to defend themselves and more aggressively go after Republicans( I think some do actually).
Trump 'exhausted' three days into first trip abroad as president
Low energy. Sad.
And he still has to visit Israel, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Belgium.

There is no way this trip doesn't get cancelled halfway through.
The dude's used to going to his resorts every weekend, and there's been reports of him not looking forward to this trip. It's not surprising.
Uh oh. That battery is running out

Exhausted, or (not-so) Freudian slip?
And he's a tub of lard who doesn't work out. Its not really surprising that he doesn't have the stamina to do something like this.

I wonder how Trump's going to make it through his first term without dieing of a heart attack.
Honestly, we should remove him from office for his own good.

Does the president of Zimbabwe have no idea what he's doing in a job that requires way more work than he's used to, and deeply cares about what other people, particularly hollywood and cable news, think of him, while dealing with some of the biggest scandals and lowest approval ratings in presidential history?

I mean I'm already ready to support Brown, Klobuchar, Franken, Murphy, or even Gillibrand if they run and are serious candidates. If the choice is between Chafee and someone more terrible I'd probably vote for Chafee since my vote won't matter anyways.
Chafee won't run lol

I guess if the choice is something like Jeb or Chafee, I might go with Chafee too.
EDIT: I don't mean that there's no one worse than Chaffee in the party that might run, but it'd be depressing to the point of giving up if democrats can't do better than that.

Without even searching, I'm going to assume that list is from @RoguePOTUSStaff. So yes, it's bullshit. However, like that account started with some degree of credibility, they went too far with it so it's easy to ID as bullshit. It would be completely possible to create an insane list that was still believable but they stopped putting in any effort. Like, other than the non-food sundries, that's not entirely preposterous. In fact it's just the non-food items that are silly. It doesn't look terribly out of place from what any random eccentric VIP might demand. Adding "ice cream, 2 scoops" would have been a nice touch.
Oh, right, and he drinks diet coke. Duh. C'mon fake twitter account, at least read over your lists before posting them! It's not funny if we know it's fake from the very top! Really would not be hard to come up with a fake memo that would look Trump-level realistic/crazy, sadly.

I just like Chafee because he's a weird dinosaur from sixty years ago in the wrong period of time. We'd be totally fucked if he was the best candidate though.

Even Conservative Blogs are running the Trump Low-Energy story.
Banon got legit shook seeing the foreign hordes in person. Coming home to board up the White House windows.
They were all so polite! It was strange, as if they were just people.
Heh not a chance. They will just curtail or cancel lesser events on the schedule.

Canceling the trip outright would be a PR disaster.
Can't blame Trump, whenever I go somewhere on vacation I'd rather sleep in until noon everyday than cram my day full of events.
Oh wait, yes I can because Trump is the fucking president and doing official business, not some dumb tourist gawking at the local sights.

Wait, so Iran's reform party basically controls the entire parliament? Hmmm... if only US Politicians would stop treating them like evil incarnate while sucking up to the hyper oppressive Saudi Government...
Can't help tear down the very fabric of government if you aren't participating in making it a shit show.
Also I am legitimately surprised Bannon left the trip before the Vatican visit.
The problem goes back to Vietnam and the incredibly shitty way vets were treated by our far flank. People commented Clinton's last two days felt like an '80s GOP convention in many ways - this was a good thing! Taking that language/ownership away from them is what we should be doing.

she's not my fave but there's worse options for sure
definitely less adorable than Chafee though
Their actions are just going to isolate the US, and push any potential business deals towards Europe. If Trump and the GOP weren't so ignorant, this could've been US diplomats and US companies instead of European ones. I mean, Italian steel? No doubt there's a lot of factors in a deal like this, but US business leaders should be pushing back against the antagonistic talk of politicians.
If Obama had done this Alex Jones and the rest of the nutter squad would be exploding with pure rage, calling it proof of his membership of the Illuminati or some such shit.

Trump, and what he's bound to say after meetings in Israel today: "Who would have thought peace in the middle east was so complicated? It's like they've been fighting for thousands of years or something."
Edit: Hah, his suit is buttoned closed so his tie isn't flailing around in the breeze. The same cannot be said of his hair. You'd think they'd plaster that down for times he's outdoors.
Fake extra edit: Was short lived. The suit is open, though the tie may be taped on? We can only imagine. And someone get some lip reading experts on this video. If it's interesting enough to whisper to one another aside from their wives, it's probably amusing and/or critical to national security.
More fake extra edit: They brought Marine One all this way? Woah.
1% chance they're briefing Pence for a coup, which would be hilarious. Finally, a 1% chance they're meeting with investigators and/or lawyers of one form or another, and they think this is a good time to do it while Trump wouldn't be able to track all their movements in DC. You KNOW Trump demands to know where they all are at all times, paranoid of the leaks and whatnot.

98% chance it's nothing. Maybe they just want some rest before having go to Europe for the conferences they actually think are important, particularly G7. Maybe they want to meet with Republicans and strategize how to reassemble the ship in a bottle in the oval office Trump smashed 2 weeks ago. However, I'm not sure if there are enough remaining babysitters for Trump to keep him 100% behaved while he's in such ludicrous complex foreign policy situations, and this might be dangerous.
