he's ensuring there is continuity between the period where we actually have an effective state department, and a time soon upcoming where maybe our state department doesn't do anything at all

Trump will just blame the Dems/Obama/Clinton's emails/Muslims/anything for holding back his secret genius 'real' plan, and his supporters will lap it up.

It only get interesting if he really starts attacking the GOP.

Chiefsplanet needs your service (I'm bet-banned):

Here's a terrifying thought guys. I think a bill for concentration camps for Muslims or death squads for "deporting illegal immigrants" would both be more popular than this AHCA bill. If it does end up passing, Republicans will know they can pretty much push through literally anything they want.

The President of the United States publicly accused his predecessor of a plot to "tapp" (sic) his phones in a series of early-morning tweets.

He offered no evidence for this claim, and his official spokesman is now stating that the claim was not to be taken literally as the President of the United States used quote marks in some of the tweets. The widely accepted explanation for the accusations is that the President Of The United States had read a story on right-wing extremist propaganda site Breitbart and angrily began tweeting without consulting any security sources.

The above is not an excerpt from a comedy sketch show, nor is it the work of an imaginative dystopian fiction writer. This is real life.

JUST LIKE WATERGATE!

Let's not forget the orange moron has absolutely no idea how to properly use quotation marks.

Trump's poor grammar gives him plausible deniability? What a crock of ****. He uses quotation marks for emphasis ffs. No, make that "ffs."

Isn't that what's been going on since Rex was confirmed? He gave that little rah rah speech to people at State telling them he planned on being a super cool dude and then has done nothing since?

Trump team using the 'It's just a prank, bro!' defense.

we were deriding him earlier itt for "not knowing how to use quotation marks", when in fact it was a 36DD chess move so that he can now get away with libeling president obama to tens of millions of his followers without having it "technically" be a message from the president, to the people that care enough to give a ****

only problematic if you plan to hold more elections.

all hail Emperor Trump

That would actually MAGA if the large majority of people believed in those things again

nobody listens to a ****ing word you say because you provide zero value to this subforum bro

like what does this post even mean? can you ever string together a meaningful thought?

clinton supporters just as bad as trump supporters, right? lol

Trump is now underwater in the one poll he was touting last month, the Rasmussen daily tracker, 47-53. I'd say if there is a signal here, it's Trumpcare bringing it down, not Russia. And I doubt the CBO scoring will help those numbers at all.

^this, obv

part of me feels horrible about it, a smaller part of me says **** you *******s, you deserve that **** and now you can deal with it

but of course in the end it affects all of us.

.

Wait just a minute here. Trump asked the US Congress to investigate Obama, got his people out to back up his demand, got senators to actually look for evidence, got the FBI and Clapper et al to deny it happened, and he was just funnin' us? Ok, just checking. Good one, Mr. President.

Pretty sure I'd be in a little trouble if I call 911 because I want to have a laugh. But ok, haha, no problem.

Conway is back and she's madder than a mad thing.

She can just make **** up and doesn't even pretend to gaf about backing it up.

Guy on CNN listening to her waffle about microwaves struggled to keep a straight face lol.

WSJ reporting trump now allowing the CIA to drone strike terrorists. I assume this is just so he gets interrupted a little less often watching TV.

Prankster of the United States

Grunching the last page or so revaut's posts - I'm not even sure incompetence is enough to bring down Republican politicians at the point. I mean look at how terribly these Southern states are run, yet they just keep electing the next guy with an R next to his name (I guess Jindal was bad enough that Louisiana voted for a Dem). They're perpetually infatuated with the idea of business people running the government, so the mere qualification is enough. The only thing that rank and file Republicans will react to is pain, and mostly financial in this case. Trump can cut taxes for billionaires all he wants and no one blinks and eye but if a Trumpkins tax bill is higher next year? Then you might hear about it.

I've become so used to the lies that I'm numb to them. I don't think a single thing Trump says / tweets could make me angry anymore.

I don't get it. Even before Trump won, we knew that the disturbingly high percentage of voting Americans, north of 40%, wanted Trump to be President. I don't think that a few percentage points one way or the other should change your view of voters or the country.

The only thing we learned from the actual election was (i) polling in the Rust Belt wasn't particularly accurate; and (ii) it was damn foolish for Hillary to waste time and money in non-essential states like Georgia and Arizona.

In Trump wouldn't be a warmonger news, Trump gives the CIA back the ability to do drone strikes
