Trump MAGAThread V: March Comes In Like A Lion

[The Black Forrest]

Trump points out what's REALLY to blame for him not getting anything done.

Didn't he, you know, say he swore to uphold the constitution and shit?

He probably thought he had to hang a copy of it somewhere.

A copy of hid doctors examination, saying his constitution is great. The greatest even.

[The Black Forrest]

I REALLY had to look into this from I read and concluded he's more calling the flibuster archaic, not the Constitution, as filibustering is simply a rule in the Senate, not in the Constitution itself. So the wording of the Article is misleading clickbate at best...

Still dumb, stupid and a bit disturbing of him though, and then again the Constitution allows the Senate to make it rules. So probably it's more indirect.

It's probably just a matter of time until the filibuster is put down entirely. It's been gutted so much there's really no point in keeping it at this point.

Well?....I am sure the Republicans will be crying about this when the Demos are eventually back in control and not negotiating with them on issues.

Trump invited Rodrigo Duterte The president of the Philippines. The guy who pretty much is a dictator.

So what? Reagan toasted Marcos at his daughter's birthday at the White House back in ye olde 1986. Of course, Reagan was also attempting to dismantle a previous administration's emphasis on human rights (even if Obama lacked the sheer gumption that Carter did) in foreign policy, which included meeting with dictators, opening dialogue to terrorists, and selling guns to "rogue states". Admittedly, Trump hasn't been caught red-handed giving guns to Russia though. Yet.

Duterte is just a less competent and stupider form of Marcos: The stereotypical Filipino strongman/kleptocrat. Just imagine this but a speech with the attention span and intellectual depth of a Twitter comment.

Besides, it's not like Trump hasn't met with Saudi oil sheiks or anything.

Just an observation of who's visiting.

[Liriena]

I loved how Trump ditched the White House Correspondent's Dinner and held a rally in Pennsylvania instead. Classic Trump, he loves the campaign trail more than attending all the events expected of ordinary presidents.

Yes, we have long since established that he has a very, very, very fragile ego and desperately needs a safe space.

Pity that rally attendance was so low.

[Liriena]

He blamed the constitutional checks and balances built in to US governance. “It’s a very rough system,” he said. “It’s an archaic system … It’s really a bad thing for the country.”

If he was a Democrat, Republicans in Congress would be screeching "impeach!" after that.

Indeed. Where is that Kentucky bastard now?

Human rights as a matter of foreign policy are extremely unimportant. Reagan was right to do what he did.

He criticizes Trump when there's something worth criticizing.

Trump invited Rodrigo Duterte The president of the Philippines to visit. Makes sense, the guys also a loud asshole with dictatorial aspirations.

Trump also invited the Pres. of Argentina Mauricio Macri. Seems they know each other. They met two days ago.

Before that, Trump invited the Pres. of Peru Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.

Y'know, I don't think Trump actually knows who the leader of NK is...

Oh? And pray tell on what basis do you base this piece of exquisite "alternative fact" on? (Is joke, genuinely curious.)

[Gauthier]

Y'know, I don't think Trump actually knows who the leader of NK is...

He thinks it's Dennis Rodman.

You notice he never uses his name (Kim Jong Un), he always uses "Their Leader", "That Guy", etc...

But he seems to know the names of multiple other foreign leaders.

Dennis can't rule a country, he's not crazy enough.

[Geilinor]

Jesus Fuck he invited DUTERTE?

That's not surprising, he invited al-Sisi.

It could very well be purposeful disrespect. Sounds like something he would do.

Than why does he keep talking about how great and smart "He" is?

Sorry, but that chance of that happening is near to none. #PopulismIsStronk

And new haven says we conservatives don't back up our claims. I call bullshit.



But Trump is doing what he does best. Trolling the fuck out of liberals who love to "circlejerk". And he is gloriously succeeding at it.

[Olerand]

Snip.

And the fact that that is a good thing. That the president of the United States' best work is "trolling liberals" is... Sad. America is in a really dark place, and it doesn't seem to want to get out.

Actually, the majority does want to get out (Considering the majority is Democrat, Independent, or even Moderate Republicans), it's just the minority that's holding us back (GOP Republicans). Hillary and Trump's PV results are proof enough.

Most of us want to catch up with the rest of the developed world, but it's the parasite that is the GOP just keeps pulling America down.

Without perpetuating the myth of the false equivalency that is often woven around the Democrats (centrists/liberals) and the Republicans (far-right) and how they're both bad and whatever, I don't see the Democrats as doing... good. An improvement over the Republicans, certainly, but not good. The Democrats themselves aren't in a "healthy place" either.

At least the Democrats are in a salvageable position and want to get going in the right direction... the GOP, on the other hand, are just... over there.
