General Trump hilarity free-for-all thread

[Bruno]

So you're telling me that the confirmation didn't go ahead because of a Senator called Flake?  And now the FBI has hunt down some witness called Judge to decide if the dude can sit on the Supreme Court or not?

I want the writer responsible for this travesty fired.

Almost as bad as that time they had a main character named "Ronald Reagan" who had a sidekick named "Donald Regan" for, like, two whole seasons. Besides that, the writing was mostly just AIDS jokes, and Reagan repeating his catchphrase "I don't recall" over and over.

Fuck, I knew we were jumping the shark with all that.

Joke's over.  We really just decided to let Obama have another turn.  This has all been a very long episode of the Upright Citizen's Brigade.

Pretentious Movie Director would have never allowed this to happen.

This isn't alarming at all.

Oh yeah, this is part of the whole thing.  That and whether Mueller recommends charges against senior members of the Trump team during the course of his investigation.

What tickles me is that in theory, the American Right Wing should be shitting itself in the idea that states rights are getting nipped at because they always harp and howl that federalismz is the best thing ever. And here we are.

[Cain]

State rights only apply when you want to ban abortion or deny black people civil rights.

[Prelate Diogenes Shandor]

State rights only apply when you want to ban abortion or deny black people civil rights.

Or when you want to send 3 electors and 2 senators to represent an area (such as wyoming or montana) that doesn't even have enough people to fill single respectably sized city

[Doktor Howl]

And then this happened

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fbi-probe-of-kavanaugh-will-have-limits-set-by-white-house/ar-BBNGZnV?ocid=spartanntp

Which was immediately doublespeaked

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-house-says-not-micromanaging-fbi-probe-of-kavanaugh/ar-BBNJDOR?ocid=spartanntp

If Sanders says that it's not being micromanaged, that means they picked the 3 laziest men in the FBI and told them to take loads of coffee breaks.

Everyone knows what side I'm on, but Avanetti is a bit of an ambulance-chasing bottom feeder.

There.  I said it.

[Cain]

You're not wrong.  He clearly thinks he can build a political career out of this.

The federal government just launched a lawsuit over that.  Comcast and Verizon must have yanked their leashes pretty hard.

Thst's partly due to the thing I said. If representation were proportional the federal government wouldn't pull shit like this as often

You're high on dogshit.  Corruption is independent of representation, because there is Team Edward and Team Wossname, as far as voters go.   And they don't give a FUCK about corruption or anything else as long as they can dig their thumb in the other team's eye.  There is no Goddamn miracle cure.  There is no cure at all. There is only Crazy Eddie, and at the moment, that's YOU.

The first sign of becoming a fuck up is when you suddenly decide that YOU have figured out the age-old problems of governance.  You have Uncle Joe's Rest Cure, Leon "anything for a laugh" Trotsky's beat them into happiness method, and our very own Ron Paul (the former member of PD, not the screwhead from Kentucky) and his ECO FASCISM.  You have those dipshits with their "dark cathedral", which is apparently Hitler with added emo, and you have Captain Utopia and his dumb fucking "E-democracy". JUST LOOK HOW WELL ALL OF THOSE HAVE WORKED OUT...Because the FORM of government has absolutely NO IMPACT on the EFFECT of government.

It has taken my 50 years, but I finally understand my Cornish ancestor's habit of killing anyone who tries anything they THINK is new.

ODDS ARE YOU AREN'T THE NEXT PLATO.  EVERYBODY SHUT UP.

I've got a great idea for a new form of government. I call it "Definitely not Plutocracy".

It's basically Plutocracy, but we pretend it isn't.
