no one group has a monopoly on being an asshole but the GOP is way, way better at it than most groups. we have our first all white power organization supported administration probably in 100 years and you can thank the GOP and the last 30+ years of their policies for fostering a platform and a party where that's acceptable.

Not surprising. That's what authoritarians do. He doesn't want balance or ideas. He wants yes men.

Remember that as party leaders, its Reid's and Pelosi's jobs to be asshats. They get put in untenable positions and have to make the best out of it, and they have to publicly act as partisans 100% of the time. Same reason I wouldn't include Ryan or McConnell in criticizing the GOP--it's the role they have to play (but the constant obstruction followed by saying that government is broken during campaign season is a whole other thing).

Other than them, who you got?

Asshole and bad shit are two different things though. Nobody thinks that Reid or Pelosi or McConnell or Ryan are bad shit. Dave said the Democrats have bad shit too. Who?

There are Republicans who I disagree with on policy but I don't think they're bad shit.

well, Bill Clinton traveled with Jeffrey Epstein on a plane that was frequently used for sex tourism, so we could start there.

Why not also bring up Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker who was on the plane too. We deserve answers!

don't know if you're trying to be coy but Kevin Spacey does have lots of weird sex rumors attached to him. ones with younger guys and public parks.

Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker aren't former presidents nor are they married to someone who won the popular vote for the Presidency

the former mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, is a huge scumbag. ripped off that already broke ass city.

But they were on the plane too!

I just don't get the whole Epstein plane thing. It seems like conspiracy theorist, vague bullshit with no real point.

fattah and that other congress woman from florida!

john edwards too!

Obama rescinds Arctic offshore drilling proposal!
drilling rights are off the table through 2022 due to environmental concerns and little interest from companies

Trump fans flock to starbucks so starbucks writes 'Trump' on the cup
you do you, i guess

it's all reported in main stream press, guy is a documented pedo, probably the most notorious one of the last 100 years. not really fringe conspiracy stuff at all.

I love that the response to a supposed barista refusing to serve a Trump supporter is to flood Starbucks with customers. That'll teach 'em.

So they're "getting" Starbucks by encouraging other Trumpians to buy Starbucks coffee?

Um...

Yes, Epstein, and I think any sane person would not associate with someone who was known to be a pedophile, but you're posting Clinton flying on his private jet as proof positive of some guilt. I don't know, I would rather there be something substantial and not just rumors and conspiracy.

i just remembered that there was a rumor one of the Apprentice tapes has DJT saying th n-word. would be pretty great if that dropped right around inauguration

I have started replacing the word 'Fuck' with Trump whenever appropriate. I hope it catches on.

Trump you, you Mother-trumpers!

a guy with about 30 years of sexual assault rumors documented somewhere between 11 and 26 times on a jet that was largely used for sex crimes with a convicted pedo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
