Welcome to Thunderdome

Yeah but what stinks is what you've been told. Again, I bet a dollar what you've been told aint untainted.

But I still am not arguing, burn all of them. I guarantee every fucker who has gone through the white house is dirty in some way, because of course they are. And I'm not being sarcastic. As they say, no one pays hundreds of millions to get a job that pays a quarter mil a year.

Here's Colbert's audience going nuts when he said Comey was fired.... they hadn't yet gotten the update that the thing they'd been wanting for months was now really, horribly bad.

I was talking to someone the other day, we weren't talking politics but he said the only thing that really irritates him are politics.

I told him to imagine himself the angriest person in the world, when it came to politics... I told him to imagine his anger was so strong that it was a tangible thing, able to strike out like a first, if he so desired. Then I told him to tell me what he could change about anything by being the angriest person in the world.

He said, "Huh."

Peeps really shouldn't care about this shit. Complete waste of time and energy.

Dumb-ass still trying to build his dumb-ass wall. Here's a preview of what that'll be like.

The Secure Fence Act, which President George W. Bush signed into law in 2006 with the support of many Democratic lawmakers, set aside money for fencing to cover one-third of the roughly 2,000-mile border between the U.S. and Mexico.
...
The uneven course of the Rio Grande, rough terrain and private land ownership created a host of engineering and legal obstacles and required hundreds of deals with individual property owners for some of their land.
...
The Justice Department eventually filed around 400 claims against landowners under the Secure Fence Act, though the government didn't build on all the land it claimed.
...
But Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports tighter controls on immigration, said a border wall presents bigger challenges than a single casino or hotel, with hundreds of landowners and lawyers already preparing to fight it.

Nothing says "for the people" like seizing their land with a bullshit eminent domain claim.

Update for this week. Summed up in as few words as possible.

*trump shares secret intel with Russians in meeting that hadn't been cleared for release by allies*
*24 hours of his administration denying he did this, swearing that it didn't happen*
Trump "I most certainly did do it. Fuck you, I'm the President"
Everyone:

Yaaay. His surrogates now on various media's on the same page now. Were just gonna pretend McMaster didn't have a press conference yesterday where he emphatically said he was in the room, and it didn't happen. Now he says: it both happened and it was "appropriate." We are such a goddamn joke of a country right now.

It's weird, but I should probably be a lot madder about this, but the MSM and Hollywood's overly negative coverage of the Trump presidency has desensitized me.

I already knew he was a boob and had no business being there back when he toyed with running in 2012. They've beaten the dead horse so long that I can't even listen to it anymore. I know life long SNL viewers WHO VOTE DEMOCRAT that can't even watch SNL anymore.

At what point does all the left wing crying and moaning actually start to help Trump? Because I think we're past that point.

I wish the MSM had showed as much interest in exposing Obama's mistakes and scandals as they do Trump's. It's not like there wasn't opportunities. (Check out Gordon's list on our front page.)

Did you hear that Republicans slashed funding for the VA? what hypocrites, it just goes to show you how evil they are.

The fact funding for the VA increased by 5%instead of the proposed 6% is irrelevant. My biases are confirmed and Republicans are subhuman. I know this because I have an open mind.

Now I'm all confused, Breibart. There were like 4 senior officials, Trump, and the Russians in this White House meeting, per McMaster when he spun this another way yesterday.

THE CALL CAME FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!

Now I'm hearing the info Trump leaked was about ISIS' bomb making abilities. (From CNN.) I have no context as to what the discussion was about that Trump felt it necessary to leak that info, but doesn't it seem like info that should be shared?

This is the problem. I don't know anymore. Thank you MSM! You've officially cried "Wolf" so many fucking times that I don't know what's a real scandal and what's wishful thinking.

I still can't figure out why Hillary's emails not being secured, stolen, leaked, and probably resulted in some deaths and allies getting mad at us wasn't bad.

Fuck Trump, but can we at least stop pretending Hillary was a great alternative? Hell, can we stop pretending she was an alternative?

We made those two dickholes our choices from the major parties. We fucking deserve what we got.

I think the concern was that having that knowledge out there burned intelligence assets. Why the reports yesterday of frantic phone calls between countries and agencies had to take place after the meeting. Mossad intelligence assets, apparently. The issue raised is that we are now less likely get that kind of intel in the future.

EMAILS. Keeping emails on a private server < literally giving our geo-political enemies "codeword" intel. Anyday.

Agree with last sentence.

Tomato. Tomatoe. It's 2017. Keeping anything on an unsecured server is like handing it out for free. As a career politician, secretary of state, lawyer who worked against Nixon (before getting tossed for not having ethics), already being in various scandals involving leaked info, etc. you'd think she would make better decisions.

As for Trump, I honestly don't consider this his biggest blunder. You're talking about a non-politician who probably revealed a bit too much during a conversation without realizing what he did. To be fair, that's best case. Worst case is that he's just giving Russia secrets, but that seems unlikely considering what he gave them and having done so publicly. Reality is he probably wanted to show how much he knew so he didn't seem dumb or to boost his ego and goofed.

To equate the two is just delusion. Not even worth arguing. I'll respond in image form instead:

You're right of course. Someone too stupid to secure emails AND FOLLOW THE FUCKING LAW should have been our president. I'm sure she didn't use official servers because she has/had nothing to hide. (You know, except rigging the primaries and getting questions prior to debates.)

It's too bad "the debate is over" and "the science is settled" so we can't discuss these things. Why is it that "it doesn't matter" is such a popular tactic with the left? Why is it that nothing their candidates do matter at all unless it's positive. Meanwhile, nothing Republicans do that's positive matters, only their negative actions and words are up for discussion.

But legit points made into sarcasm aside, you're right that it's all moot because she's not the fucking president and never will be. The morons that label themselves Democrats ran the single person who could lose to Donald Fucking Trump. Worse still, they rigged their own primaries to allow her to be their candidate. But hey, I'll bet they'd do a good job of running the government.

I honestly think that's worse than how the Republicans lost control of their own party by ignoring a candidate nobody thought had a chance.

And if we're being completely honest, I think Democrats are more to blame for Trump than Republicans. Maybe if they showed up to vote Hillary would have won. Maybe if the MSM and Hollywood treated him even slightly fair the public would be a bit more open to him and he'd wouldn't feel as forced to prove to us all that he doesn't have a tiny dick.

Naaaaa. I almost just gave you an /agreed/ quote before you added that. I think both sides are equally to blame. Both sides went with the "easy" way out. Hillary because she seemed right on paper and "she waited her turn" lunacy, Trump because he had a groundswell of grassroots that wasn't quite understood at the time. Hillary's right-on-paper didn't mean shit for voters, and Trump's grassroots turned out to be questionable for a few reasons, but glossed over because it brought in votes and carried momentum.

But as I've said before and will say again. Trump's the president. Representing the nation. Hillary's at home. Or riding around DC with a shotgun and a vengeance, depending on the media outlet.

But her emails.

This two-party system is awesome. Thanks to the 100M+ people that voted for one of "two dickholes."

Over under on making it through the year as president? I'm going under.

Troy wrote: Naaaaa. I almost just gave you an /agreed/ quote before you added that.

Technically, my reason is more accurate than what you stated. Dems didn't come out to vote. Specifically the people who voted for Obama. They tried to vote in the primaries, but the DNC made sure their candidate got squashed. Remember the big movement on the left to boycott Hillary because of the leaked DNC emails? Funny that doesn't get mentioned anymore, but "Russia made fake news sites and that totes won the election" does despite being proven that it had little, if any effect.

Troy wrote: Both sides went with the "easy" way out.

The Republicans didn't go the easy route, they completely screwed the pooch. While the DNC hand picked, and rigged elections for their turd, the RNC completely ignored their shit sandwich until it was too late.

No, she's apparently started a "resistance group" to fight Trump. Whatever the fuck that means.

Ssssh Gordon. The science has been settled and the debate is over.

I've honestly never been prouder to have voted and not for either one of those assholes.

TheCatt wrote: Over under on making it through the year as president? I'm going under.

I completely buy the theory that he ran for president because his ego was bruised by Obama. I honestly don't think he runs again. He'll make a big show of it to declare he has no desire to even run for a second term because he knows he'd lose badly. Thus, he'd save face.

I think there's a strong chance President Pence is a reality before we get there though. Whether Trump gets impeached or just quits, I don't know. I just hope Pence would get a chance to be his own guy before the MSM crucified him for not thinking exactly like they do politically.

At this point, the Republicans should be pressing for Trump to resign. Of course, he cannot, his ego won't let him. If I were part of that administration, I'd be jumping ship. It's too much.
