Have fun grappling!
Too back its not a grappling hook taking the whole lot of them away from government.
Trump looks terrible in that picture. Even with all his make-up, dye and tan, he looks like an old 70, to me. I’d like to see side-by-side photos from 2 years ago, before he decided to run, and today.
Yes, he looks awful. His eyes are puffy and his skin looks dreadful. Is the office taking a toll on him already?
Can’t undo karma with orange male-beauty products.
In other words, we get what we want. Let the rest burn. If Obama did this sort of stuff there would be impeachment papers drawn up right away. Trump is closer after a few days to having what the GOP feared all along than Obama was after 8 years.
Good luck catching that falling anchor, Trump chumps!
That was my first thought on seeing that pic. Between his natural paranoia, obsessions with his own grandeur and the fact that he just cannot walk away for a rally in front of an adoring crowd the pressures of the presidency are going to take their toll pretty quickly.
As announced this morning on Twitter, Trump is “asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered in two states, those who are illegal and even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on the results, we will strengthen up voting procedures.”
This describes a problem with voter registration rolls which are controlled by Secretaries of State. This really doesn’t suggest a problem with millions - or even hundreds - committing voter fraud. But, I doubt that he can discern the difference. This is also another excuse for more voter suppression because, you know, scary liberal black and brown people.
From Brian Eno in the Guardian:
He has called himself an optimist. In the past. I ask him if he still is, post-2016. Yes, he says, there is a positive way to look at it. “Most people I know felt that 2016 was the beginning of a long decline with Brexit, then Trump and all these nationalist movements in Europe. It looked like things were going to get worse and worse. I said: ‘Well, what about thinking about it in a different way?’ Actually, it’s the end of a long decline. We’ve been in decline for about 40 years since Thatcher and Reagan and the Ayn Rand infection spread through the political class, and perhaps we’ve bottomed out. My feeling about Brexit was not anger at anybody else, it was anger at myself for not realising what was going on. I thought that all those Ukip people and those National Fronty people were in a little bubble. Then I thought: ‘Fuck, it was us, we were in the bubble, we didn’t notice it.’ There was a revolution brewing and we didn’t spot it because we didn’t make it. We expected we were going to be the revolution.”…
He is still thinking about the political fallout of the past year. “Actually, in retrospect, I’ve started to think I’m pleased about Trump and I’m pleased about Brexit because it gives us a kick up the arse and we needed it because we weren’t going to change anything. Just imagine if Hillary Clinton had won and we’d been business as usual, the whole structure she’d inherited, the whole Clinton family myth. I don’t know that’s a future I would particularly want. It just seems that was grinding slowly to a halt, whereas now, with Trump, there’s a chance of a proper crash, and a chance to really rethink.”
That is the opinion of a rich, heartless, stupid, fuck.
And isn’t it cute how the members of Congress think it is about them?
It seems like most people are missing the point.
What trump is doing is classic deflection and distraction. At the very time that he and his horde are robbing the country blind, he raises a non-issue issue, alleged voter fraud, to keep us from noticing the USDA and EPA gag orders, and other insane decisions. If nobody calls him on it, he wins.
We’ll always have Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy.
But yeah, a little too close to Jill Stein for my tastes.
2018, then you are GONE…
Everyone knows the drill, and people won’t be fooled.
Translation: “PLEEEEEEASE stop scrutinizing him, we don’t want to take responsibility!”
Remember back in the day when executive actions were DICTATORSHIP!!!
Good times.
This just might be the time and the place to put it all out there. Define what is and isn’t voter fraud./suppression. Besides this probe is going to ruffle far more Republican feathers since they hold 35/36 SoS positions. And let’s not forget that election boards are made up of equally of members of both parties, well except in NC.
