- Obama is incompetent, worst president in history.

- If it's good enough for obama it's good enough for us.

Can't have both.

Haha. GAF needs WH press credentials.

Please, keep imploding, Trump, for the betterment of all of us.

He's imploding but taking all of us with him

So Spicey made it clear, Trump transition didn't Vet Flynn at all?

So for 2020, I'm looking at Brown, Klobuchar and Gillibrand.

I want Klobuchar to become president and the next governor to appoint Ellison to her seat.

All the Republicans here would lose their goddamn minds.

Obama: Don't hire Flynn, he is compromised.

Trump:

Obama: Don't hire Flynn, he is compromised.

Trump:

Random official: "No he actually means it, sir"

Trump: "Shit, was I using my left eye again?"

he said they don't vet for security clearance. Once you have it, you have it.

How can he implode and take all of us with him 🤔

but thats not even remotely true from my understanding...

they really live in a "rejected reality"

He'll create an orange hole that sucks up everything in its path.

Including pussies.

It's not herpes. You have to reapply when you change jobs.

WHy does spicer and the GoP always like to ignore the fact that the Obama admin FIRED Gen. Flynn.

The wh press corps is awful at pinning down Spicer, it's embarrassing sometimes.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

You even have to reapply if you're getting an old job back, even if you only took a temporary leave (longer than a few months if memory serves). I did back in the day when I came back to the same job with a contractor.

Because they are trying to pinned any blame on Obama. Why would the point out the right things he has done, when you can blame him for making your mistakes.

Because it's easier to blame the black man to their base and they can't afford to break that illusion

Who are you going for? I think Otto, Murphy or guaranteed victory Swanson, should she enter. I do not want scaredy cat Walz...ooo, my election was close...time to bail. Liebling should run for Walz' seat. My mayor can get fucked.

Gowdy, clearly.

Hes going to continue to ask dumb attempts at gotcha questions that will look weaker and weaker after every hard-hittig question and bombshell answer. Hes not complicit, hes just on the backfoot cuz hes not that bright and only knows offense in this situation.

The French seem rad. I wish out voters were like them.

Finally, in the bookshop, I do find someone who is angry. "We are tired of our traditional culture being mocked and derided," says Pierre, angrily setting aside his Proust omnibus. "Does Marine Le Pen not understand that being French is all about being insouciant, not shouting endlessly about how terrible it is when women wear veils? The only article of clothing a Frenchman should be against is the sock with the sandal." He shudders. "We are not . . . Germans."

I don't know

This is when you know they are desperate, their own spin isn't even true in its hypothesis, they just lied to cover up another lie and second lie might be even worse for them lol.

I haven't given it much thought. I might want Walz just because I want a governor who won't let the party get murdered outstate. Dayton won easily in 2014 thanks to the Twin Cities but lost the MN House the same year. It's nice that we have a pretty reliable strategy to win statewide but we need more than that to get anything done.

Also I own his old Dreamcast and it'd be cool to say I have the governor's.

Chris Coleman maybe? He seems good.

How is Trump imploding? Pretty sure his numbers are stable now.

edit: Also, not hoping for anything today, think people are waaaaay overhyping this Yates hearing.

Well, Trump seems to be shitting himself. He tried to get it canned and is now trying to undercut it. I think you're right, but you never can know with Trump.

Yeah it's overhyped so much Trump is trying to prevent her from testifying again. He's even bought into the hype

I don't think I've ever seen you express anything other than pessimism so it's no great surprise.

Yeah, "stable," at dogshit tier.

You don't have to think Yates is going to drop a smoking gun to recognize the undeniable, serious implications of a former Acting Attorney General testifying under oath that the current White House lied to cover up their associations with a known foreign agent.

Blame Trump for the hype. Between Nunes and the shenanigans Trump is doing before she even goes into the hearing they seem to think she will have something damaging to say.

Trump's numbers have stabilized at being underwater.

As an outsider, wouldn't it be better to keep Walz in his seat for incumbency since he managed to ride out the Trump wave (like Nolan) and let someone from a safer seat run for it?

 

[PBY]

True. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

I don't think he'll lose his core (40ish % support) for a while, if ever, though.
