US PolitiX -Angry Left Wing Mob Edition

[anitram]

The focus needs to turn towards grabbing the trifecta in 2020 by any means possible.

This may be the last chance for the Democratic party to take the Senate and make meaningful changes to ensure that the makeup of the Senate remains fair to all going forward.

I'm talking DC and Puerto Rico statehood - and a serious look at breaking up California.

The Senate model as currently constructed is unsustainable for the future of our nation.

That would be the dream. The reality is that the 2022 midterm is a potential slaughter for the Republicans in the Senate but that is 4 long years away.

I hope that some lessons were learned last night. For 2020, divert resources from Florida. Seriously, it is a swamp, and at the same time a very large, time-consuming and expensive market to compete in. The last thing we need is the Democrats to obsessively campaign there when the writing is on the wall. Resources should be redirected back into the heartland (aside from Ohio, they all look like ugly states if you're Trump), Texas and Arizona. Those states are the future.

Trump just booted Sessions, an alert tells me.

 

[anitram]

Who does that to the Keebler Elf just before Christmas?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

is it too early to say the ROW is starting to breathe a collective sigh of relief and start feeling a little bit hopeful again?

Yes.

1) there's still 2 months until the Democrats take over the house, which is plenty of time for Trump to do all sorts of crazy, unchecked things.

See?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Eric, Don Jr... quick, what's the fastest way to get the election out of the headlines? Daddy needs a diversion

 

[mama cass]

See?

i saw it

oh god yeah i see what you mean now (just checked the headlines)

 

[bono_212]

Fucks sake, and here I thought we could chill for a second.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the story earlier today that Don Jr. Is about to be indicted.

 

[Irvine511]

Hit Send, Bob.

this person is now in charge of the Mueller investigation.

 

[trojanchick99]

The Confederate Keebler Elf is discarded just like all the rest of the idiots that have supported the Cheetoh. So this is the job Graham has been campaigning for, right?

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

So what happens now, then? What if Mueller decides to release his info sometime soon? We clearly can't count on the GOP to do anything to protect him, so are there other things that Mueller or those connected with him can do to help keep the investigation intact?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

There's a reason why Mueller has handed so many things off to the southern district of New York... I'm sure he's covered himself to make sure that everything will get out, and get out legally

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

That's good to know, thanks . Just the sort of backup plan I'd expect.

And I have no doubt that New York is just itching to get at Trump. That could be fun to watch.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Apparently Trump went off the rails at his press conference today (as usual). Called Jim Acosta from CNN a rude terrible person (hey pot kettle!) A White House aide actually tried to wrestle the microphone from Acosta.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

He also mocked Republican incumbents by name who distanced themselves from him and lost last night. Shockingly he was nice about Nancy Pelosi. That won't last long.

[Moonlit_Angel]

Three sources familiar with how the Trump White House operates tell The Daily Beast that Casey could not have reached the location directly in front of the White House’s south front by himself or on a common tour. Casey, the sources said, likely would have had to be escorted by a Trump administration staffer wearing an official badge to get that kind of access.

Casey isn’t the only far-right extremist to visit the White House during the Trump administration. Trump met briefly in August with Lionel Lebron, a leading promoter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which alleges that top Democrats are pedophiles who participate in Satanic rituals. That Oval Office meeting—and accompanying photo op—led to a scramble within the West Wing to figure out how, exactly, Lebron was granted such access.

Those familiar with how the Oval Office works noted that the only way President Trump would have sat for a picture like the one with Lebron would be if a senior official vouched for the guest and waved him or her in.

But remember, calling Trump and those that support him racists and extremists is wrong and bad and us liberals totally shouldn't be doing that 'cause it hurts their feelings.

Seriously, that's disturbing .

Maybe this was posted already so my apologies if it was. But looks like trump must be real nervous today lol:

The whole thing was a disgrace. The bit with the Japanese reporter is sooooo cringe. He knows nothing about how any business in America actually works.

Jim Acosta has been banned from the White House

 

[anitram]

Trump is king of snowflakes.

Secretary Dobbs and Attorney Generals Diamond and Silk made the big decisions today

 

[bono_212]

Jim Acosta has been banned from the White House

LMAO Sarah Sanders trying to say that Acosta placed hands on the intern who tried to take the mic from him.

EDIT: Went back and watched the video to see where he possibly may have touched her. During one moment when she's trying to take the mic out of his hand, he does this like gentle karate chop motion on her forearm brushing her away because he's not finished. There it is. Jim Acosta is clearly a piece of trash.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Sarah Sanders, seriously? Your boss bragged about sexually assaulting women, has been accused by many women of assault, possibly raped his first wife and is a misogynist who disrespects women on a regular basis. Go to work every day Sarah checking your moral compass at the door and focus on a CNN reporter touching a staff member. Get all riled up about that, the base will love it.

Trump also told April Ryan to sit down today. She's the next one to be banned. When is Han it T going to be banned from Trump rallies and fired from Fox News?

 

[anitram]

Trump also told April Ryan to sit down today. She's the next one to be banned.

Too uppity.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I'm glad Trump is concerned about men touching women.

 

[Irvine511]

I'm glad Trump is concerned about men touching women.

Maybe if Acosta had grabbed her by the ... nevermind.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Too uppity.

Yep. Just like Michelle Obama, Tomi Lahren tweeted that Michelle needed to sit down. Because she had the nerve to say that her husband was a great President. In what universe does any white person think it's ok to tell an African American person to "sit down"? Not in mine, guess I'm weird like that.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

So Acosta gets banned for being too aggressive or whatever.

But Trump went out and openly endorsed a politician who actually bodyslammed a reporter.

Okay.

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

So trump banning reporters for you know.. doing their job and then accusing them of touching the lady that was trying to tackle the mic away from Jim. Did anyone in their right mind imagine a president of the USA would act like this just 5 years ago?? Starting to feel more and more like a dictatorship.
