The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode VII: We Are All Going To Die, Thanks Obama!

Just seeing this. Richard Painter is calling this Ukraine redux on Twitter.

Still a good call, imo.

What we really need is for someone to post these things on chiefsplanet and the like. Derpers spend a few weeks saying it will not happen. And when it inevitably does, they spend another few weeks justifying it and forgetting that they said that it would never happen.

It’s sad. But for some reason I still get mild amusement from it.

The feds need your bank info for that. Those who didn’t get a tax refund this year or last year using direct deposit (I believe it’s the 2018 and 2019 returns) will have to get a paper check. I think that’s right, but unlike Trump, I’m willing to admit I’m wrong. I’m also willing to admit that I have small hands.

Close personal friend of president Donald Trump, Vince McMahon, now owns a company considered an essential business in the state of Florida where men and women play fight in front of an audience of zero.

Reminder that Trump is a complete fucking mark

WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump actually called WWE after they aired the infamous “limousine explosion” angle (which, until this week, was memorable for entirely different and far less humorous reasons), because he believed that Vince had actually been inside the limo at the time and might be dead.

Extra lols in that writeup

We also feel like we should remind you that at one point Donald Trump “bought” the Raw brand as part of a storyline, and the stock price of the company immediately plummeted because investors didn’t have faith in Donald Trump’s ability to run a wrestling company.

Literal fucking Trump checks. Republicans are just so much better at branding and mastering the politics of self-interest. It’s like conquistadores coming in with guns and measles to slaughter everyone in your city.

Remember Obamaphones? Obama indirectly subsidized phone bills for low-income people by giving corporate welfare to phone companies that service them. Republicans called it “Obamaphones” and Dems fled in terror and denied it all. Motherfucker. If you’re giving free stuff to your constituency, you need to take credit for that shit. Obamaphones and Obamacare were badly flawed but successful programs that gave free shit to the base of the Democratic Party, it’s like the branding was there already but of course the Dems dropped it like a hot potato. It’s as though we acquired alien super-weapons but were afraid of the technology so we dropped them and ran away.

Listen, the Republicans are not going to hesitate to give out free shit to their constituents and they’re going to emblazon the checks with Trump’s name so everyone understands where they came from. Imagine if the Dems knew how to play this game. Like, your grandma can keep her health insurance despite pre-existing conditions if she has the ObamaCard with Obama’s portrait and signature proudly displayed. Just give your base goodies and tell them where they came from, it’s not fucking complicated.

This shit is absolutely maddening. If it’s a shitty program you can call them Bushphones or if it’s a good program you can call them Obamaphones, Or if you’re a mushy centrist Democrat you can just dither about and let Republicans define the terms of debate.

Obamacare was a Republican plan too. It was Romney’s alternative to Hillarycare, Dems just cannot take a fucking stand or ever take credit for anything. Like, take credit for Obamacare (it’s a popular program!). Take credit for Obamaphones. Give poor people literal Obabaphones with Obama’s grinning portrait stamped on them. Give your voter base free shit and make it clear who’s giving it to them. Trump gets it, the left doesn’t.

But fuck this shit where you stand for nothing and let Republicans take credit for the free stuff every single time. Republicans are proudly giving their constituents Trump Checks with a proud Trump endorsement. Dems aren’t giving their constituents dick, they’re afraid of the idea that they were ever handing out phones or healthcare.

Trump got cucked so hard in 24 hours he went from threatening civil war and demanding he was the sole power in charging of reopening to:

I still struggle to understand how we got him as president. I know the key is 40 million horrible racists but I wish that were not true.

It’s like my man Alexis de Tocqueville says:

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.

And he says this like it’s a bad thing! I’m all for getting bribed, personally. Congress paying me bribes sounds pretty fucking sweet to me. Those of you who don’t want to get bribed can go off to that corner, the rest of you who want your bribe monies can follow me.

I see your point, but thanks to a plethora of bad decisions on Hillary’s part we will never know the full extent of that sexism.

2016 was also a two-person race from the get-go rather than a clown car.

Has anyone ever seen Ann Coulter and Kellyanne Conway in the same place together? I think they are the same person.
