President Donald Trump's Final Days...

[IC Hunt]

I don't know what is going on here but I am unable to quote Devious!!!!? I hit the quote button and I get a blank page???

I heard about this story today and I immediately imagined a comedy bit: Tucker Carlson has found someone willing to come forward and admit to illegally voting many times and he is going to do it in this election also. Tucker is so excited he interviews the guy live on election day. At the end of the interview the guy says well time to go vote again and he puts on his MAGA hat. Oops. (He's a Republican folks.)

Why is it assumed that illegal voters are democrats if they exist. This drives me bonkers. It is so nonsensical !

It's part of the big Lie Trump and his ilk have mastered. Accuse the opposition of the very thing you are doing.

Our youth, however, may have given us a mistaken idea of how slowly things work in our benighted land. In 1963 businesses could exclude people based on race, people could be refused jobs because they were not white, and the right to vote was denied based on race. By 1968 all those things were against the law.

Indeed. Both Pelosi and Schumer are much more savvy than their critics in either party.

Yet black people are hassled and arrested at malls because they were wearing hoodies which is not against the law, while white women who did the exact same thing, NOTHING HAPPENED.

As for Schumer being oh so savvy, please. He got buttfucked by McConnell a month or so back when he agreed to let more than a dozen far right federal judges be appointed to the bench.

Just waved them on through.

Absolutely no vetting.

And what great political favor did McConnell bestow on Schumer in return?

He let Senators go home early so they could politic for the election, which resulted in the Democrats NOT gaining control of the Senate.

WAY TO GO CHUCK!!!!!! THAT SURE WAS AN EQUAL DEAL FOR BOTH SIDES!!!

Take your reading glasses and jam them up your butthole.

Trump knows this and, for all his denials, knows it happened because of his incompetence. That, and his growing dementia, have made him a raging whiner.

Yeah, that was NOT a good call (HAH!!! see what I did there?!) by May.

I don't think you really understand Trump. He doesn't have dementia, he isn't senile, or have alzheimers. he just has the emotional maturity of a 15 year old whose father taught him that the only thing that matters is WINNING!! and then added to that was his mentor and lawyer Roy Cohn who said over and over and over that no matter what the actual outcome you ALWAYS declare victory and shift the blame to someone else.

I find it pathetic that Theresa May once again debased herself - and her country - by desperately trying to suck up to Donald Trump, pretending he had won a great election victory (when in fact he lost eight governors, four state houses, 400 seats in states' legislatures and his majority in the House)...and Trump, rather than accepting the unearned "congratulations" graciously, used the opportunity to shit on her for several minutes.


Even Tony "Poodle" Blair would argue that allowing itself to be treated and berated like one of Trump's employees is unbecoming of Great Britain.

A judge in Washington DC has ordered the White House to return CNN reporter Jim Acosta's press pass after it was revoked by the US Secret Service.

The judge's order says that the pass must be reinstated as a CNN lawsuit against Donald Trump continues.

Mr Acosta's press pass was taken after he clashed with the president during a news conference earlier this month.

The judge said the White House decision likely violated the journalist's right to due process and freedom of speech.

Please note that, deep in the article, it mentions that the judge who issued the order was appointed by Trump last year.

And how magnanimous of Ms Huckabee-Sanders to agree to abide by the order.

Yeah and as I sit here on my laptop CNN is reporting that Trump is "writing rules for the news media":

"We will temporarily reinstate the reporter's (Cnn's Jim Acosta's) hard pass. We will also further develop rules and processes to ensure fair and orderly press conferences in the future. There must be decorum at the White House.".

In other words Trump wants complete control of press conferences. He wants to stop reporters when they are asking hard questions he can't answer. And therefor reason why they will have their press pass to the White revoked without violating amendments.


The press briefing room has just changed forever! No more hard questions being pressed on Presidents, Advisors, officials or the press secretary. They now have reason to remove the press (Trump's enemy of the people) (except Fox, Infowars, Daily Caller, etc).

Ahh yes, decorum at the White house.

Later that VERY SAME DAY at the aforementioned White House when President Donald Trump was awarding the highest honor possible for a civilian by the United States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. One of the recipients this year was the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Accepting on his behalf was his wife Maureen. She and Scalia had NINE (9) children, which hey, is AWESOME. Big families can be really cool or a fucking disaster when Christmas time rolls around and you realize, "You mean I have to get presents for 10 fucking people??!" And yes I know that many large families will throw names in a hat and you only have to give a present to one person in the family.

But I digress.

So the Scalia's had nine children which means they must have had sexual intercourse at least 9 times. (Cue appropriate sketch from the Meaning of Life) This did not go unnoticed by Trump who in the process of introducing Maureen Scalia rolled off the names of her 9 kids and IMMEDIATELY went, "Wow, you were very busy, weren't you?" Trump then paused for a minute and then said, "Wow, I always knew I liked him."*

Decorum indeed has been restored to the White House.

*Of course there's video of it, but I'm really NOT in the mood to throw a link up for y'all. Sorry. Just google Trump Presidential Medal of freedom.

4 - and finding common ground.

1 - Some would argue the opposite, conservative personality Andrew Klavan recently said "this country, god bless it, is finally ready to let race go but the Democrats just will not let it".
I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle but regardless as long as Democrats keep pushing identity politics things will never calm down.

2 - I would say the vast majority of all Americans of any age have extremely little problem with racial differences, cultural differences is a different matter, something we tragically can not ever discuss without being called racist. (hating primarily black ghetto/gang culture is not the same thing as hating black people)

3 - Who is this lunatical faction? (that actually has any power or influence, not random street nazi shitheads) What are they doing or trying to do?

4 - Give examples of reasonable common ground that can be found when Democrats will not agree with or supports any polices that makes the border more secure whatsoever? I am genuinely asking.

What if a group of Jews (or any other race) was actually conspiring to erase another racial group (NOT saying they are, I personally am not even really clear on why Jews are hated by Hitler or anyone like him), does the threatened race not have a right to be concerned or stand up to the people trying to erase them?
Look at this...

Did blacks not have a right to be afraid in that situation? Why are whites the only race that is suppose to shut up and take it?

What about stuff like this, are white people never allowed to be concerned about this?


I swear to god I am not baiting here, I genuinely want to understand this double standard.

The last few acts of violence have taken place either while Donald Trump was President or soon after he had announced and made that horrific speech about Mexico. I believe that speech let all the racists and bigots who had been hiding out in plain sight and who had been letting their racist filth out on private message boards and such, I think they saw that and saw that when it didn't immediately kill off Trumps candidacy, they said "Hey, maybe we CAN get out there and speak our mind."

So should we should just completely ignore the Mexicans who do this and other atrocities - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Durango_massacres
Because some irrelevant racist somewhere MIGHT get some emboldenment or enjoyment out of our valid condemnation of crimes that happen to be by non whites?

Because Illegal immigrants aren't going to vote for the party that is harshly against illegal immigration?
