The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 3007 - Politics and Economics

Yeah right, if Trump is still president in 2020 (a big if) no way he loses a primary. Way more than 50 percent of republican primary voters are deplorable.

I just said it was key, not that they would win. But 1v1 in a Republican primary, it's close. Trump got ~45% of the popular vote in the Republican primary in 2016. Cruz + Rubio + Kasich voters added up to more than Trump.

I've got a better chance than Jeff Flake to be president, if that's his plan that's absurd

I think y'all are over estimating how similar government software is to commercial software...

So Cotton and Perdue thought they heard Trump say ****house instead of ****hole, but instead of actually saying that, they are trying to be vague as **** and twist it into a defense/denial.

**** them.

From the brief bit I saw Cotton's denial of what Trump said was really a confirmation. He went out of his way to say Trump didn't say any ****hole thing about any person. That's pretty much confirmation that he said it about countries, which is what was reported.

****house makes zero sense and is obviously not what he said. Also, who the **** cares? It doesn't change anything. This is just a distraction and every minute spent on it is bad and I now feel bad for writing this post.

Tim Cotton is a piece of ****, full stop.

And "white shoe lawyer" is not a plus. You have to be, at best, completely amoral to do that job.

On Martin Luther King Jr day I thought I would quote MLK and Orange. I'll paraphrase to keep it simple.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" - MLK

"There are good Nazis" - Trump

I'm really dailing back my WAAF on the trump nuke thing now that I have had time to reflect and remember all the incidents of heroic military men refusing to commit atrocities on principle. Think of all the mass graves, civilian carpet bombings, genocide, burned villages, terrible weapons that cause excruciating deaths, previous use of nukes that would have leveled entire cities that may have littered our history if not for the moral fortitude of our military leaders saying "say, is this legal?"

I slept like a baby last night for the first time in a while thanks to being led to that light by the rational people itt.

How many buttons are ready to fire texts with one push?

Tsunami button seems plausible as do hurricane and missing kid buttons. What about 'the aliens are coming button', Hawaii got one of them?

Also I don't believe for a moment that it was one push of a button to send texts all over their island. Fs I've to take more action just to get into any device I own.
