In my worse moments I often think the reason we have such shitty politicians across the board and across the world is because the people who really know whats going on know its way past the point of no return and are just making sure they get what they can to cushion the effects when the inevitable shit hits the inevitable fan. And having corrupt imbeciles in power makes that easier.
Don’t often dwell on that tho because
- it a bit conspiratotial lizard people type shit and
- the 54 years I have been on this earth have taught me that people are in the main selfish ignorant arseholes (a group I am in I admit) and we are just at that stage of development where actually being that way can fuck up the whole damm planet.
Me (and probably a lot of us) in the late 2000s: I don’t see how the GOP is going to survive post-Dubya.
PS: Not trying to piss on your parade. I really hope I’m wrong and you’re correct and that you get to rub it in our faces in the future. I just don’t see the same way forward you do.
it’s perplexing to me that trump even cares about “getting impeached” when he knows for a fact that he’ll never be convicted and removed. like he seems to believe the impeachment vote will be some sort of stain on his legacy, but his entire legacy is one big stain from inheriting the only profitable business he ever touched after 50 years in business, running a grossly racist presidential campaign, and governing like a childish moron, it’s all stain already.

omg fuck yes lmao
“hey kids, we know it’s the afternoon right before an extra long weekend and you all are super hyped up to socialize with your friends but here’s an aging nude model illegal immigrant married to the racist dipshit bully in the whitehouse who was caught cheating on her with a porn star in the most public way imaginable and she’s gonna give you a lecture about being more thoughtful about how you treat others.”
The simple answer is he is very stupid. His response to Mueller getting appointed was “I’m fucked” which didn’t really make any sense given what we know now and how strongly the party had his back. I initially was going to write a long post about how his whole view of government and what is actually happening is different from reality, but honestly at the end it just gets summed up as he’s stupid.
like his people or his own fascist-savant brain came up with a really good defense, “if the socialist democrats want me out of office, that means i’m winning”
but he delivers it with such desperation that you just know he’s guilty af.
There’s a legit chance he thinks like a lot of Americans that “getting impeached” means he’s instantly removed from office and that Nancy Pelosi and the dems can just vote to remove him and that’s why he’s so shook.

i just love to see that kids are “getting it”. it’s really heartening
Dubya’s GOP does not exist anymore.
The real question is how many Trumpkin voters are there? I’m talking about the number of people that never voted until Trump ran in 2016 and won’t vote if he’s not on the ballot in the future. It has to be a fairly large number considering how many GOP slappies refuse to stand up to Trump. They can’t afford to lose those votes. Which means when Trump is out of office, they will lose those votes.
Like I’m sure some version of the GOP in the future will always be there but the GOP as we know it pre-Obama is gone. Honestly, I don’t even really consider the GOP to be the GOP. It’s more like the Tea Party now than the 2000’s GOP.
Who thought this would ever end well? They should have sent her to Covington High.
YES YES YES this is how to treat every last one of them.
News outlets are for-profit corporations. They don’t have a legal obligation to report ethically, but they have a legal obligation to maximize profits. If we want journalism fixed, that’s a good place to start, imo.
I’m now imagining right before the vote goes down he resigns so he can’t be fired.
