I was watching on USAToday feed and it cut out so I went to YouTube and it was on.

McConnel has to go. Is there a process to impeach/recall a senator? Blatant racism and sexism by shutting down Warren down like that. She showed amazing restraint by not going off.

No. No I don't. He speaks at a fifth grade level and 12 percent of his words are unintelligible.

Bigly

Crystal clear messaging.

In defense of LordJvKs point though -

What exactly does 'great communicator' mean? Was Obama a great communicator? Obviously he spoke eloquently in long, thought out paragraphs, with good grammar and a broad vocabulary, about things he was well informed about. But if x% of the country (20? 40? Who knows at this point) is functionally incapable of understanding him, is that good communication?

Whereas Trump speaks stupidly and incoherently about things he is extremely poorly informed about, but the general thrust of what he's saying is clear to even the most incompetent. Hillary bad, terrorists bad, America good, bring back jobs, etc. Maybe that's the point being made?

Nah man Republicans have all the power and they're going to use it to destroy Democrats every chance they get

I don't know, growing up in the Bush era should teach a lot of middle aged Democrats that it's a marathon, not a sprint, and the only real change is going to happen during elections. I hope the message gets through to everyone

this administrations recurring problem with spelling errors could also be attributed to one of two other possible reasons as well. either they are being done intentionally to draw additional attention to material that would otherwise quickly exit the news cycle; or, they are just the result of a burnt out and overworked sean spicer who is acting as both the communications director and press secretary, and who openly admits on his twitter bio that he is a "horrable speller."

I wonder if Trump is having second thoughts about the wall now that he's seen the level of opposition and headaches that have come from a temporary immigrant ban.

In his speech today he wandered on about how people didn't take him seriously about the wall, how he doesn't kid around, it is getting built and it's going to be a GREAT wall. Wait until you see it.

Mcconel has been a "bleep" for a long time now. What state keeps voting him in? he's literally ******ed and acts like a child. If there is a way to remove senators please enlighten us so we can move swiftly. Too bad each party doesn't get 1 go to jail card every 4 years where they can kick someone out of congress, that would be sweet.

Many more people supported Obama than Trump, so I think that shows the limits of the lowest-common-denominator strategy. Also, Obama was taking on difficult topics like confronting our nation's complex history of racial injustice or fighting a war against terrorist ideologies that are informed by Islam without alienating Muslim allies. Trump is just trying to inflame people's inherent sense of tribalism, xenophobia, and economic/cultural resentment.

Reminded me of this

A mess of incoherence: Trump attacks judges weighing travel ban

I just have to reiterate how appalling and dumb it is that Republicans are not orchestrating a palace coup here. (Maybe they are and everything will become clear soon.) They have a golden opportunity to govern here, but it's going to be harder to do that if everyone is spending all their time dodging the flaming wreckage launched from the latest Trump debacle. And then they're going to get murdered if and when we have our next fair election because Trump is going to publicly **** things up so badly.

I don't know if anyone else caught this, I didn't see it myself until CNN reaired it late last night, but apparently Kellyann was allowed back on the network sometime yesterday and Tapper interviewed her. It's the most brutal 25 minutes you'll spend this week. He just shreds her over and over again and she spent half the time agreeing with him (and contradicting her boss) and the other half changing the subject and basically talking hilarious nonsense. I think her 15 minutes are about up.

I think that if enough people massaged his ego via Twitter he could be convinced that what our DoJ needs is not some rando solicitor with a tier 4 law degree but someone with his powers of persuasion to handle those oral arguments, yes Donald you can do what these snot nosed law types could not, do it!

Fighting the big battles

Yeah. Especially because there's law and there's common sense and this is common sense.

Wat?

LOL he's literally advocating for his family's financial interests

He is the dumbest mother****er on earth.

Your wonderment at the cynical, principle-free nature of the modern GOP whose ordering of priorities appears to be something along the lines of "1a. satisfy rich oligarchs and 1b. appease horde of angry, resentful mouthbreathers who elect us" to do something more than this is almost charming.

You're definitely a smart guy, maybe one of the smartest on the forum. Surely you didn't earnestly expect more, right? Even I, in my most hopeful moments, sometimes rise to "vague hopefulness" when I see something like McCain take shots at Trump from the Senate floor but then you remember out of like 290+ or whatever Congressional and Senate Republicans, he's more or less the bravest and most principled and THAT IS STILL BASICALLY DOING NOTHING AT ALL.

There were rumors she squashed the LGBT executive order by telling him not to do it lol. The right thing.

Conflict of interest? What an embarrassment. He's so corrupt already...
