Trump 2017: Year Zero

[allegro]

Maybe in future America should vote the way Britain does still, at a booth with a pencil and then the votes are physically counted.

Counties did that for most of history; but as the number of voters increased, the system became terribly inadequate and time-consuming. The old voting machines were introduced (which is a card punch system behind the machine, and those cards are run through card processors after the vote): THAT system is probably better, EXCEPT FOR POSSIBLE HANGING CHADS (Bush v Gore). The above link looks like attempted interference BEFORE the election, by accessing state voter registration data (which the Russians didn't realize comes from each COUNTY and is provided to the state) and a LOT of that is manual data which people in certain states argued was manually changed in that state to stop certain voters [Dems] from voting and that wasn't the Russians, it was Republicans. Trump claims that manual voter fraud enabled "millions" of undocumented aliens to vote for Clinton but that claim has been waived off as ridiculous.

Edit: Sorry, I was typing this on my iPhone as @DigitalChaos was entering his response.

WHY am I waking up to headlines about Trump thinking about firing Mueller?

It's just a rumor.

@Jinsai , that press-conferenced "Cabinet Meeting" was hilarious; LOOK, WE'RE DOING STUFF! AT A BIG TABLE!!

These sycophantic introductions are hilarious, it felt like I was watching SNL but they are on summer hiatus. It's almost like we have president Kim Jong Trump.

Absolutely pathetic.

"I didn't ask for a pledge of loyalty! Why would I do that? That's craaaaazy talk, from a nut job. Here, let me prove it... Let's have a cabinet meeting, and everyone can take turns blowing me pathetically while I smirk! See? How could anyone possibly think that I have a weird, vengeful streak, and that I have a weird issue where I demand loyalty from those I consider underlings?"

[Louie_Cypher]

i think instead of watching any more hearings, I'm I'm, just going to listen to Peter Gabriel's "I don't remember" on loop, I'll, hear the same thing with-out watching some old withered closet racist deliver it

Word is Democrats in the Senate won't be making a unified effort to go nuclear on AHCA so they can work out "bipartisan" sanctions on Russia because stepping squarely on a fucking landmine to close a pantry door on Putin will really show him. /s

[Jinsai]

Something interesting right now... check out the Youtube comments on the Colbert interview with Oliver Stone about his new documentary.

People suggest that there's these pro-Russia bot armies, but holy shit, that's exactly what this looks like.

If this fucking happens...jesus christ these people just do not give a fuck about their base at all. Do they want us progressives to stay home? SHOW SOME FUCKING BALLS AND FIGHT AT EVERY STEP.

These so called hearings are quite a bunch of nails in democracy's coffin. well done GOP, well done.

Rep. Steve King: ‘America should not last’

[Louie_Cypher]

found this comment that speaks better than me : Make no mistake; these men are anathema to the health of our republic. There is no foreign enemy more dangerous than this cabal. We are witnessing the Great Fleecing of America. It is as historic as it is tragic. Thieves, racists and con men have seized power, and our system of checks and balances is groaning in resistance. This is the reckoning brought about by Fox False News, talk radio, and the Greed Over People Party. Collectively, in conjunction with a racist South, these forces, now led by King Con, are ushering in The Great Dumbing Down of America.

as Jimi said, "it's going to be a long hot summer", people are angry wealth gap is increasing, Trump has only made things worse, we saw the top cop in the country, treat the top court, in the country like he just stepped in dog shit.

I needed a good laugh today and this did it; even John McCain gave it a Twitter shout-out, calling it "hilarious."

Yeah...I mean, he basically admitted to it on live TV. We just need to wait for the investigators to cross the I's and dot the T's.

[Exocet]

Britain and America....father and neurotic runaway son...are both having a competition to see who is more crazy at the moment..

[GulDukat]

Go read Trump's latest tweets if you haven't already. So much for everyone coming together.

[Louie_Cypher]

as everyone's knows I don't like the guy, but here's the deal, none of this, had to happen all he had to do was release his tax returns, which is why every president in recent history has done this, remember this, is a guy who had to pay 25 million for fraud so have all the twit-trams, you'd like, doesn't change a thing you're a liar and a fraud

[Louie_Cypher]

trump claiming it's a witch hunt hunt is only because, he's wearing a weird hat caring a broom and has a black cat, wearing an upside down crucifix, listening to nine inch nails, and was overheard, reciting the lord's payer backwards, their is a reason behind thing's behind reality wake-up and smell your own pie hole, Donnie!!

He can't show his tax returns, for obvious reasons. We're all playing a coy legal game here, dancing around the elephant in the room... while Trump grooms his Twitter following with sycophantic bots.

I want America to suck again. I'm sick of "winning." I'm so sick of all of this... I'm truly hitting fatigue-point. I'm just going to lock myself in the studio and play with synthesizers, and wait for the signal that it's safe to emerge, and everything is more or less sane again.

The Cheeto revokes blocked program to protect immigrant parents

An Obama-era immigration program intended to protect parents of U.S. citizens and legal residents from deportation has been formally cancelled, fulfilling a key campaign promise from President Donald Trump, the Homeland Security Department announced late Thursday.

We know things are REALLY getting crazy when Trump's lawyer hires his own lawyer.

But that's Michael "who says?" Cohen, and he's now directly under investigation in the FBI's Russia probe. I'd lawyer up too.

Well, yes, that was my point. Everybody near the President is now "Six Degrees of Separation from Russian Money Tradeoffs."
