I knew it was coming but actually seeing Trump support Moore feels like a new low. It's beyond belief how terrible this guy is.

100% correct. They vote R no matter what. I don't understand why some people still don't get this.

Anyway, the state department is accusing Tillerson of breaking the child soldiers law. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN1DL0EA

Well oiled machine.

We all ants, buddy. In fact it's probably an insult to ants more than us.

Moore is currently a 2 to 1 favorite on PI.

Federal judge in SF slaps down Trump's order denying funding to sanctuary cities

I would've been surprised if he didn't. They're basically the same guy.

Eh, I don't really see this as a contradiction. I think he's claiming that people don't "become" racist because of economic reasons but rather they blame economic problems on scapegoats in a racist way. Maybe threading the needle a bit too much, though.

Overall, I think the main idea he's trying to get across is that people are falling all over themselves to explain Trump's win in a way that is more palatable -- purely economic or purely education or whatever. But the evidence suggests racism played a larger role and that's uncomfortable to acknowledge.

Maybe the author goes too far suggesting racism as the reason... I would have to reread the article and I'm too lazy for that. Certainly I agree these things are interrelated and there are economic components to Trump's success. But I do think it's fair to point out that nah, economic explanations alone aren't enough and, although that may make people feel better, they don't even explain things as well as racism does.

In other news, trials of the inauguration day protesters are underway. With a few tech glitches.

Trump has no floor to how depolorable he will be. He doesn’t even support Moore
in the primary but as soon as he is accused of molesting kids he jumps on board.

Trump is literally among the worst people on earth.

Bah, I should have sold my Jones futures when it was $0.45, but I got greedy.

These trials are a very BFD and they're getting almost zero coverage.

“Kelly Has Clipped his Wings”: Jared Kushner’s Horizons Are Collapsing within the West Wing

Despite Kushner’s efforts to project confidence about Robert Mueller’s probe, he expressed worry after the indictments of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates about how far the investigation could go. “Do you think they’ll get the president?” Kushner asked a friend, according to a person briefed on the conversation.

maybe he doesn't know how stupid trump is. maybe they're all just morons

It's too bad probably no one will be shooting video at the exact moment Jared gets told he's been indicted.

I am expecting Orange to say, "there are good people on both sides of pedophilia."

Also the first turkey Orange pardoned was Sheriff Arpaio.

Some White House military officials got a little too friendly with the local women on Trump's Asia trip

haha, time to see what Trump tweeted about the Secret Service/Colombian prostitute thing

In terms of public actions? Because Trump is not just a serial sexual harasser and overt pervert, he violently raped Ivanka.

Ivana, not Ivanka.

Yeah, I saw a comment earlier and wanted to clarify. I mean I was surprised to see him publicly do that, and also do it with reporters there. I believe one of them managed to ask him about all the allegations against him, so I'm thinking "Oh I wonder if he even thought about the gates he's opening here?" but of course he just totally ignores that reporter's question, answers others. It's amazing to me what he says and does in public and his MAGA base eat it up. He is a piece of **** through and through.

Just the arrests and charges are already horrific. Perhaps nothing should be a surprise anymore, but the courts don't seem completely ****ed yet and I don't think there anything horrible coming out of the decision. Hope not anyway.

That did it. Thanks.

I'll say this: that smile Trump had at the end of that clip actually looked genuine and a bit joyful. Strange.

Shame the turkey didn't bite him.

kinda funny he had to cue people to start clapping.
