Plus it's Florida. Plus it's an old New York man in Florida. Best to leave it be.

If trump goes away in a serious scandal 90% of the trumpers will act like this was a phase/fad and move on with their lives being a bit ashamed but not much else, imo.

Trump's next step is to have Jeff Sessions indict the NYT, WP, WSJ, CNN reporters as co-conspirators in the crime of revealing classified information. Or obstruction of justice for refusal to reveal sources of classified information leaks to FBI investigators.

It's not that this is a nonzero possibility to happen


It's that I know human beings that would find it just

And I know 35% of American voters would find it just

"LOCK THEM UP. LOCK THEM UP."

You need to call the DNC and tell them to hire you, I like this idea.

Imagine if Bernie declared for 2020 and started holding a competing rally every time Trump held one.

Like, if they blacked out the entire thing, or better yet blacked out the entirety of his .gov e-mails too, that comparison would have been much harder... But nah, they blacked out all but the periods, so you can tell it's not .oag.ok.gov or whatever...

Just the best people.

This. I don't know a single voter that voted for Nixon. Like, I can directly ask older family members and they won't even tell me. They'll go the Kellyanne Conway route and the next thing I know I'm asking how Aunt Mary is.

Should we judge a person by her words or by their deeds? What does the world security forum care what Mc Cain says? The government of the USA contradicts his words every move he makes.

That sounds like a great idea. This needs more love. Here comes Bernie, one time.

Amen to that. Now if they could come and take Mary Fallin away. She is in competition with Sarah Palin for the WOAT governor.

Voted for Trump exactly because he is so inept. We currently live in a world that is unbelievably unfair, discriminatory, and corrupt

We really need to bring it all to the ground and start over, as it stands we're in too deep without a drastic change. Any of the other primary candidates would have put a band-aid on the bleeding artery of the current world yet through his own ineptitude, Trump was ironically the best option because he offers the quickest path to starting over which is inevitable

Maybe the next thousand years will really suck but as poker players we should be happy to understand that what happens today is a small price to pay for the long term, we shouldn't be playing just to win today's hand, maybe we were just unlucky to be alive in 2017 but can make a difference in the long-term

Maybe 99% of us won't live a full life thanks to Trump but as long as some of us survive, we should be absolutely thrilled if history books in 3017 thank of us for finally moving past this "my side vs your side" attitude and realizing we're all just human and should be treated with equality which neither party in 2017 truly wants

Yea Mary Fallin is the nut low

My 90-year-old Republican grandmother found him loathsome many months ago. Her children (almost all of whom are well-off now -- one is a doctor, another is a very comfortably retired broker {my dad}, another is married to a fast-food franchise owner who is legit wealthy), are all on the Trump train. I was drunk and shamed my own dad and aunt a few nights ago on Facebook to tell them how proud I am of my grandma and how I wonder how they feel knowing she saw something they all missed.

Of course I apologized the next day for being mean.

Did they admit to missing anything about Trump?

My mom's first election, she voted Carter in 76. She voted GOP for POTUS every election since then, none missed, till she voted Hillary in 2016.

She told my dad she'd divorce him if he put a Trump sign in their front yard. Fair play as far as I'm concerned, especially since she's by far the bread winner. You see, she has two university degrees to his one two-year certificate. She went back to school in the early 90s and got her computer science degree suma cum laude and put up with immeasurable bull**** against females in her field forever, and became a legit badass software engineer. We were dirt poor before she did any of this and she was terrified the whole time. I know a lot about programing and she is no basic coder. She's a legit innovator. And she spent years earning less than her male peers despite driving their production while they latched on helplessly.

Anyway, the point is she's a radical revolutionary who refuses to admit it, and she told my dad to stop talking about Trump in her presence until he admitted there was a nonzero chance he was the next Hitler.

And he hasn't talked Trump in front of her once since then.

Despite telling me all kinds of bull**** about the money taxes and ACA take out of HIS pocket.

I don't mean to give you the wrong impression, I have huge infinite respect for my dad. He never wavered from supporting me when he could have a million times. Everything I know about spacial reasoning and carpentry and any other kind of fabrication I owe to him, and I know me coming out as gay was the hardest day of his life but he didn't hesitate to tell me he just wanted me to be safe and happy.

But there's this pervasive toxicity where he has to feel like he's special because of his birth accident.
