I’m now seeing people like my wife’s psycho cousin calling for sessions to be fired, and then have Pruitt slide over ther. No confirmation needed then apparently

After seeing the Northam thing, and this, feels like these lunatics are going to win

They mostly already have

Yeah, but it’s really permeating everything on local levels too. It was creepy when Bannon quit and said “I can do more as a private citizen for trump”, and then Gorka quit and said “I can do more as a private citizen”. Then things like Northam happening and nobody trusts the DNC. Hell on Earth

Its very discouraging on the local level right now. I will put it that way.

Need a win

He's a bit of a nut. At least that's how he appears or comes off on twitter.

Considering the trouble sessions is in I would guess that he resigns- I mean you can only commit perjury so many times right?

I am not sure why Northam played that card. He was on the record as supporting the idea. Understand that we have no, zero, nada sanctuary cities in VA at the moment. Also understand that Virginia is also a top third culturally diverse state, and Northern Virginia drives the rest of the state with a very diverse community. I guess his 5%/margin of error polling has him worried.

There seems to be no limit based on what we have seen so far.

It has been inescapable to hear the supply side economic chant as for this very simple 450-ish page simple tax reform. There are a whole lot of people who bought into Regan as the savior who did everything, and now their kids are coming of age with this perception. I tried to explain that to offset Reganomics that the government increased spending ~2.5% annually, and accrued a massive national debt, which grew from just about a billion, to almost three billion.

To hear the discussion around the mortgage deduction credit, which seems to have doubled over night, deflation in the housing market will only happen if the economy is weak, except the plan seems poised to collapse it in expensive states. The upside is that the banking, building, and trade lobbyist will dig in and keep this from happening.

Donald talking to the new girl at Fox News:

"we don't need all the people that they want," Trump said. "Don't forget, I'm a businessperson and I tell my people, 'Where you don't need to fill slots don't fill them.' But we have some people that I'm not happy with there."

In June, the State Department was reportedly performing an internal review that could have seen a 30% budget cut and eliminate 2,300 jobs.

State was probable over staffer by north of 2000 people, sounds about right given the new low standing the country is finding itself at by not caring about diplomacy. Besides, its easy, you just declare what you demand via tweet, no people needed at all.

Trump wants the DOJ to investigate Clinton and 'the Democrats'.

It's a cult leader mentality. He alone can fix it.

This election broke many people, and I think Mr Painter is one of them. They can't believe this is the new normal, but it is.

a fun thing to do is a blind test as to whether a tweet came from your right wing nutjob great uncle or the president of the united states

*brain explodes*

note this guy is one of my best friend's father. a totally normal guy to talk to and hang out with. we've talked sports a ton. hell, we've talked on the phone within the past few years just because. his bookshelf is full of pynchon and hemingway and others. he's a generally smart, engaging guy. and his brain is fucking poisoned.

Yep, thanks Donna Brazil. I hope the book brings you the fortune you seek from the ruins you've wrought.

[The Hill] Ivanka Trump: Sexual harassment 'can never be tolerated'

For the daughter of a predator, her level of ignorance is impressive.

I mean, Donna Brazille didn't exactly do a great job when she ran a campaign.

Also, it seems to me the goal of current economic policy is to get inflation revving up. Thus, it's going to suck even worse than people imagine, because workers have little bargaining leverage, so COLAs won't even keep up for most Americans, and it's a way to accelerate wealth transfer from workers to capitalists. The one mitigating factor is it will take a small bite out of consumer/household debt.

It's not ignorance. It's denial.

Meh, Trump is Trump. He would take any trigger to do that.
