People supporting a raise in police wages while also not supporting $15/hr minimum wage would be really funny to me.

This is like every republican with the exception of a small, but larger than it should be, faction of the extra special gently caress slime who think anyone but the extreme wealth should be a slave serving their masters, including police.

The more I am watching this landfill fire, the more I see a chance that Trump could be impeached, a process that would take several months and pretty much block congress from being able to gently caress the people. After which, Mike Pence would spend the remaining year/year and a half trying to calm down the international poo poo, which keeps him from installing Sharia law STRONG CHRISTIAN VALUES.

After that the GOP control of congress and state governments gets gutted by the left wing version of the Tea Party. Causing Pence to put our government in stasis by vetoing everything from Congress while they, and the court slaps down his ultra conservative/hyper religious executive order agenda.

Then we get to elect Elizabeth Warren in 2020.

Trump isn't getting impeached. Either party would fall in line behind Pol Pot if he said he would rubber stamp their legislative agenda and let them fill 2-4 Supreme Court vacancies with the youngest, craziest duckfuckers they could find while he focused on Making Kampuchea Great Again.

Just lol if you think we've hit bottom. After 2018 ("elections are every four years, right?"), Democrats won't even be able to put up token resistance. Maybe there's some relief in 2020, but that assumes Bannon and Sessions and crew haven't let every Republican controlled state (guess what? it's most of them!) feverishly disenfranchise minorities.

He could ride Chris Kyle's corpse through a Mexican hooker's golden shower and wipe his rear end with the flag and his base would still support him if he promised to gently caress over more brown people.

The protests, town halls and people I'm talking to have done a lot to give me a sense of optimism. There's just person after person that says, "I've never paid attention to politics. Never even voted before but this? This if hosed up, what can I do?" I'm coming around to the idea that Trump may actually screw things up so bad he gets impeached and while I know it's going to be at best a minor blood bath in the midterms I think there's going to be a lot of shockers in there and then in 2020 we're looking at a loving slaughter for the GOP. As long as the canned sunshine stays in the bottle I'm actually hopeful for how things work out. Like putting a weakened virus into a syringe, Trump seems to be a hosed up, short sighted failure of an authoritarian leader too stupid to do things effectively and the white blood cells of democracy are reacting to his approach.

I now look forward to finding out how much hope is a lie.

quote:

The opening 13 seconds — reminiscent of the beginning of a trailer for an apocalyptic war film — are a buildup for what the video's protagonist says next:

“Already, the forces that conspired to keep Donald Trump out of the White House are coming together to sabotage his administration,” declares Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association.

The ad, released before the start of the Conservative Political Action Conference, not only solidifies the NRA's role as a Trump ally; it also positions LaPierre — and his organization — as the leaders of a movement to resist the resistance against Trump.

. . .

The ad uses clips of street protests and flag-burning, footage of people smashing windows, and a video by a Russian government-funded television network of people starting fires — all to portray the other side as initiators of a violent war against the president.

Another clip shows the mentally disabled white teenager who was beaten and tortured by four young African American adults. The suspects can be heard shouting expletives about white people and Trump in a video of the attack that was broadcast live on Facebook.

The current situation mirrors the invasion of Iraq pretty closely. Ideology and greed driving policy with no oversight. Anyone competent gets the can for not conforming or for "being negative" about impossible or conflicting goals. Important budgets get slashed to the point of being worthless while money is siphoned .

Corruption is the name of the game, blatant lies to hide it get glossed over in a series of unwinding scandals with no adequate investigation.

Trump will be on a aircraft carrier declaring he made America great again within the year.

I'm sure those brave gun toting patriots at the NRA will come out and support people when the government starts pooping on peoples rights right, and won't just not sit quietly unless the government starts coming after the rights of certain people to own guns.

*NRA comes out to protest against trump protests*

Hmm welp. Good thing those gun control measures were useless as passed at least.

For all that talk of "Good guy with gun > bad guy with gun" and "these guns will stop tyranny" you'd think they be less with Trump.

Hey where's Skyshark to try to claim how the NRA is totally nonpartisan and supports everyone who wants to own guns.

The NRA is wholeheartedly supporting Trump because Trump was unequivocal about supporting the 2nd Amendment. After Obama & Clinton & the Democratic leadership coming out full force for gun control with positions so lovely that even the ACLU agreed with the NRA about how stupid that poo poo is, what do you expect?

Perhaps if the Democrats pulled their heads out of their asses and stopped supporting such a loser of an issue, this would change. LMAO who am I kidding, this is the same party that says that countries Obama listed as security threats don't deserve extra vetting, but US citizens who haven't been convicted (or even arrested) should lose their constitutional rights because of secret government lists.

Sorry dude, you picked the wrong side to back on this issue.

Is there a difference between supporting a candidate and literally gargling the balls of him and his political machine while making ads that have nothing to do with his 2nd amendment stance?
