Hopefully SNL can get the real Spicer on board for a podium mobile race.

I still don't particularly care for this president.

I guess you have to be a primary gender to be cannon fodder for the Oil Oligarchy's "wars" of conquest. Can't have trans people dying for the Exxon CEO's Christmas bonus!

According to WikiLeaks, Hillary for America rapid response communications team member Jesse Lehrich said (in May 2015) “(w)ith the help of the research team, we killed a Bloomberg story trying to link HRC’s opposition to the Magnitsky bill to a $500,000 speech that WJC[William Clinton] gave in Moscow.”

Sergei Magnitsky was a Russian attorney. In 2009, he died in police custody. His death drew international media attention.
He specialized in civil law, doing anti-corruption work.

He uncovered evidence of tax fraud, implicating police, judiciary figures, tax officials, bankers, and Russia’s mafia - accusing them of stealing around $230 million dollars in 2007 through fraudulent tax refunds.

On issues relating to courts, taxes, fines, and civil law, he was called the “go to guy” in Moscow.
In November 2008, he was arrested, imprisoned, and treated abusively.

For 11 months, he was denied family visits. Serious health problems developed. Inadequate treatment followed.

On November 16, 2009, he died for reasons officially attributed to a “rupture to the abdominal membrane” and subsequent heart attack.

Initially his death was blamed on medical neglect. Later claims suggested murder. The 2012 Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act imposed visa bans, asset freezes, and other sanctions on Russian nationals accused of committing human rights abuses.

Putin called the measure an unfriendly act towards Russia. The nation’s Foreign Ministry called it “shortsighted and dangerous,” a “cynical” attempt to sour bilateral relations.

The Russian bank paying Bill Clinton for his Moscow speech was allegedly connected to what led to the Magnitsky Act, a huge embarrassment for Bill and Hillary to be publicly revealed.

Is this what this thread's here for now? You still think Hillary personally sold shit to the Russians? Don't understand how matters of state work? There's a snopes fact check on it. Look it up. I'm not going to do it for you.

MEANWHILE...

Trans-gender ban in military?
DOJ hurriedly trying to legalize sexual orientation-based discrimination in government and military jobs by arguing that it's not protected under title VII?

Anyone who's concerned Bill Clinton being paid to speak, or Hillary overseeing a uranium transaction on a committee of nine — a transaction she had no ability or authority to stop or interfere with — because THAT WAS HER JOB... is just a fucking moron who has decided to put an "out-to-lunch" sign on their brain.

Fucking Clinton uranium bullshit asshole twats. Just come out and admit that you're down with discrimination and authoritarianism and stop using HRC as a fucking red herring.

Oh fuck, I see that. He's already scheming, and he's one hell of a schemer.

GOOD for McCain though. It was unclear how he'd vote on this. He said one thing, then implied another, and he's become a bit of a figurehead for the entire health care issue in Anerica.

The guy has a soul. He is not evil. I don't love him, but GOOD FOR FUCKING MCCAIN.

HEY! You! Yeah, YOU over there! Are you a fucking paranoid schizophrenic? Dig cock-blocking people for six months? Ever tried to suck your own cock? Dude, have we got the place for YOU! It's all happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC! Just ask for The Mooch!

Trump Supporters Furious That They Still Have Health Care

Quote:

WASHINGTON — With a fury that could spell political trouble for Republicans in the midterm elections, Trump voters across the country on Friday expressed their outrage and anger that they still have health coverage.

“I went to bed Thursday night and slept like a baby, assuming that when I woke up I would have zero health insurance,” Carol Foyler, a Trump voter, said. “Instead, this nightmare.”

Harland Dorrinson, who voted for Trump “because he promised that he would take my health care away from me on Day 1,” said that he was “very upset” that he will still receive that benefit.

“I woke up this morning, and my family and I could still see a doctor,” he said. “This is a betrayal.”

Many Trump supporters said that congressional Republicans “gave up too soon” in their efforts to deprive ordinary Americans like them of their health care.

“They should not take August off,” Calvin Denoit, a Trump supporter, said. “They should stay in Washington and keep working until I totally lose my coverage.”

For Trump voters like Benoit, the abject disappointment of continuing to have health care raises fears about which other campaign promises might soon be broken.

“Now I don’t know what to believe,” he said. “Are we still going to get to pay billions of dollars in taxes for that wall?”

Of course he's still a turd (by which I mean I disagree with him almost all the time), but he did the right thing.

Not the best time to look a gift horse in the mouth. He did the right thing. Period.

Well, shouldn't have to look at that horsie a whole lot longer

there are levels of turditude though

is mccain a shit? sure, he's a republican. more broadly--he's a politician.

is he THE WORST? hell the fuck no.

first, he's not a teabagger fundamentalist ("wacko bird") anything.

second, he's always been able to work with people across the aisle.

third (should be first in this day and age, but it's only a circumstantial trait) he's no friend of that deranged egomaniac preznit we got right now.

so-- the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

for now.

Scaramuchi out after what, 5 days? "False NOSE"

haaaa haaa haaaa haaaaaaa

i came here to laugh at the same thing

at some point trumpo will have to hire mephistopheles in the flesh (and i don't mean ted cruz, i mean the mythical mephistopheles), but no amount of "messaging" is gonna fix his presidency

--

eta i was just thinking the other day how he threatened to cut off berkeley's federal grants, like a banana republic tyrant. what ever happened to that scheme?

there's enough comedy here to fill a jonathan swift satire, but seeing how reality is stranger than fiction, and this is actually happening, reality is not funny at all.

okay maybe very funny if i choose to detach completely ha ha ha ha

pass the nitrous oxide!

but seriously. fearing the impeachment. pence could pass *a fuckton* of horrible legislation if he becomes preznit.

i hope 2018 is the year democrats get their shit together

the pendulum can't swing back fast enough for me on this one

And the NY Post actually LIKES Trump...
