wtf is up with this Mulvaney press conference right now? Why is he so ****ing hostile about a bill that went through? He's basically going on and on about how the democrats lost and didn't get anything they want and cut a "tremendous deal" for Trump. This is like perfect timing for my non-zero sum game post. No bills or laws should be zero sum. They should all be constructive on the whole. There is no need for one side to lose in every bill that is passed.

How is it possible for people to misunderstand this?

He seems to have figured out what everyone else in the admin already knows: You publicly talk up Trump and call him a winner no matter what, it's your prime directive.

Not entirely sure how it is drumpf of all people can't understand the consequence of that kind of rhetoric as far as voter turnout since its pretty much what got him elected

Should we offer to make painkillers available OTC?

I mean it's probably unfair to think Trump applies thought to much of anything but what makes you think he wants to get re-elected?

ETA: Agree with Victor

Probably because his "campaign" is actively fundraising and has already paid Trump $274k to rent office space in Trump Tower.

Good news all. Hillary is joining the resistance.

Quote:

"Remember, I did win by more than 3 million votes than my opponent. So, it's like ... really?" Clinton said at the Women for Women International Luncheon in New York.

"I'm now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance," Clinton said, as the crowd responded with applause.

Hillary truly is a bottom barrel human being with zero self awareness.

"The Resistance" should tell her to go kick rocks.

Glad she's boasting about irrelevantly winning the popular vote while refusing to visit Michigan and Wisconsin though. Ignorant ****.

I mean if you're sitting at 40% approval you've gotta ride that popularity wave as far and fast as you can imo

Probably the most efficient way she could be doing it. Definitely >0% chance Trump strokes out after reading about the popular vote again.

I think everyone sees it for what it is, i.e., an Ike's Gambit. If you want me to sit at that table, you'll need to back off your cocksure position. What? So you admit to being less certain? I see no reason to acquiesce you now.

She probably shouldn't have helped rig the primary against Bernie. Although Bernie obviously would have sold out quickly as well, like he did after she "won".
