Trump MAGAThread V: March Comes In Like A Lion

[Empire of Cats]

Pence's speech was the most republican thing I've ever seen. The southern twang, the constant references to God, and telling his favorite verse out of the "old book"

Isn't he from Indiana, though? I don't think that's a Southern state (but I get your point nonetheless).

Let me guess... Leviticus 20:13?

what speech was that?

It was something about marketing the new healthcare bill. I only watched a little bit of it, but he eventually went on about how their plan to make America Great Again by cutting taxes and increasing government.

Nah, it was about caring for other people or something along those lines.

I was surprised as well. Apparently you can have a southern accent as long you live in a rural town and hate gays.

Obama spends 12 million dollars in travel expenses in a year Republicans call him a lazy bastard.
Trump spends 10 million in a month going to Mar a lago and keeping Melania in Trump towers. "crickets"

southern Indiana has a southern-like accent.

he comes off as such a nice godly man when he is either a lying sack of shit or the most incompetent manager who ever ran a transition team.

or both.

that's like complaining that trump called the unemployment numbers fake until they were HIS numbers.

I'm currently stuck in this state, and I can tell you it's as Southern as you get in mindset if not in location.

Guess I tend to forget that Southern Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio are pretty Southern. It's not just god ol' Dixie Land.

Columbus, Indiana is a city of 44.000 people. Not terribly rural.

As Serbian Empire has mentioned, the Midwest has far more in common culturally and socially with the deep south than the rest of the country.

I mean, the problem here is not that he is being told to resign. It is routine for all holdovers of the previous administration to resign so the new president can fill positions with the people he feels are best adequate for the job. So Bharara is not doing himself any favors, here.

The problem is the timing. It's too damn early for that, and it's leaving a big, gaping hole on the judiciary and the district courts.

Trump is the stereotypical douchebag in fiction who tries to claim credit for everything good and pass the blame for everything bad even if it's directly his fault.

How much would you like to bet it's Steve Bannon's idea to wreck the government even more?

both the justice department and the state department are being screwed by firing people before they have replacements ready.

I would.
Everyone knows Bannon is behind it all. Trump is a puppet of him and Putin.

the other side of that bet.

as in

"I will bet you $500 that bannon is behind all this"

"no way, it would be throwing my money away"

Oh.
Then oh hell no!

Every politician who goes to the South tries a Southern accent.

...I mean, not exactly urban, either.

They'll still worship Trump while blaming Obama and Clinton for losing their healthcare coverage.

[Neu Leonstein]

Let's just say there are a few people out there who probably wouldn't be that upset if Bharara didn't get a strong replacement any time soon.
