What the fuck?

Because we totally did that with Obama, didn't we?

Everyone who doesn't like Donald Trump is just an uninformed perennial malcontent stricken by fact-blindness. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

What's your deal, friendo?

Maybe this has been "cherry-picked" already by another know-nothing asshole who just wants something to bitch about and totally does t care about the nation, but...

we've had shit like this from before the election and people voted how they voted with the help of putin, and then some more, and the same old shit.

but yes, it will eventually be president pence, as predicted long ago. i suspect that will be like going from the frying pan into the fire though-- i mean, imagine if the goobers actually get organized and start getting shit done.

at least the prince of orange is incompetent-- which for now is saving us from much worse than the spectacle of his public persona.

apparently indeed, As U.S. Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas stated in Congress January 3, 2017:
There was a time when we had mainstream media that actually did research, asked questions, dug to the bottom of things. But there are IT--information technology, mainly working with computers--employees, shared employees for several Democrats that are under investigation. Imran Awan was the company owner. Abid Awan, Jamal Awan, Hina Alvi--the wife of Imran Awan--and Natalia Sova, wife of Abid Awan, each made $160,000 a year as IT-shared employees working on computers for various Democrats in the House of Representatives.

...There were mortgage transfers, debt evading bankruptcies. Imran Awan, Jamal Awan were known to be the ringleaders of the group, had been providing services since 2005; has convictions for driving offenses which were serious enough to become criminal misdemeanors, used an illegal radar detector, drove an unregistered vehicle; some say, after masterminding the family's finances, was running the business completely by 2010 and instructed Abid not to even speak to anyone.

The wives of Imran and Abid also began receiving paychecks from the House of Representatives. They purchased two homes in Lorton in 2008, one of which was associated with all three brothers at one time. Alvi sold that home in 2016 to the younger brother Jamal for $620,000. Imran owned a home and put it in his father's name in 2008 in Springfield. Abid later claimed, in bankruptcy, that the house was his.

Jamal Awan was placed on the House payroll at age 20, making $160,000.

Imran is also a real estate agent. Despite making $160,000 in congressional salaries, debts went unpaid by the Awan brothers, including debts to the Congressional Federal Credit Union. $100,000 was taken from a known Hezbollah-connected fugitive, a fugitive from the FBI; and they are associated with this Hezbollah- connected agent, and there is no press out there getting to the bottom of it? What happened to the Washington press, the proud press of Washington of the 1970s? Well, they are in the bag for one party.

Noam Chomsky: Trump Administration's Agenda Is Uniquely Cruel, Even for the Far Right

Renowned linguist and author Noam Chomsky believes today's Republican Party is "more dangerous than ISIS," whether or not Trump voters will ever be willing to admit it. According to one May 31 poll, 68 percent think America is on the right track.

Chomsky, on the other hand, believes the country has been on the wrong track since it adopted a neoliberal economic model several decades ago—and things are about to get a whole lot worse.

During the opening of the first zero net energy building at UMass Amherst on April 13, Chomsky began his lecture by explaining why the despair that has ravaged Trump country is a phenomenon unique to America.

"[There's been] a dramatic increase in mortality among middle-aged white Americans without college degrees, beginning in 1999, recently documented by [Princeton professors] Anne Case and Angus Deaton," he said.

Case and Deaton found the pattern has spread nationwide in the past two decades, with no end in sight.

"It's a phenomenon unknown apart from war and pestilence," Chomsky said. "They have an updated current analysis where they attribute the increase in mortality to despair and loss of status of working people under the neoliberal miracle, which is concomitant [with] heightened worker insecurity."

Thus, during the 2016 presidential election, "the same sectors of the population that are suffering increased mortality turned for rescue to their bitter class enemy, out of understandable, but self-destructive desperation."

Trump's 2018 budget, introduced in late May, would prove especially damaging to his working-class voters, due to its deep cuts to social programs. In its most recent analysis, the Congressional Budget Office found that the GOP's American Health Care Act would strip 23 million Americans of their health insurance over the next decade.

"The consequences for working people are now being exhibited behind the facade of Trump/Bannon/Spicer bluster before the cameras," said Chomsky. "This is the systematic enactment of the [Paul] Ryan legislative programs, which are unusually savage even for the ultra-right."

On June 1, Neil Gorsuch joined his Supreme Court colleagues for their first group photo.

"There's probably worse to come, as further blows to working people are authorized by the Trump/Roberts Court," noted Chomsky. "Now with Gorsuch on board, who will probably decide to destroy public sector unions on fraudulent libertarian grounds."

This is fake news, courtesy of politico:
"The attorney general, former Alabama senator and former Trump campaign adviser also insisted he did not recall having a third undisclosed meeting with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, as multiple reports have alleged citing information gathered by U.S. intelligence."

The "multiple reports" are all unknown leaks, or plants, or fakes, at most allegations, but the zionist media reports it as fact. There is not one fact tghat supports "russian hacking" It is a fake planted by the Clintons to cover up their murder of Seth Rich. That story just gets weirder and weirder. It is a conspiracy to wonder why Rich was shot (2x in the back) and was alive when he went to the hospital, but parroting the russian hacker theme is mandatory for membership in the Club. Was Seth Rich shot by a rifle?

There were actually people protesting FOR sharia law in the US last weekend, in case you missed it. WOMEN were demonstrating in support of Sharia law in the USA. Did you catch the Michigan doctor who may have performed genital mutilation on 100 girls in the the US for religion?

These Are Your Representatives Who Voted FOR Trump’s Combo Health Care/Tax Cut Bill.

If passed, 24 million Americans are estimated to lose health coverage. Much of the money saved will be given to the richest 2% in the form of tax cuts that will benefit them.

These “representatives” are hoping you aren’t noticing as they play along and vote for Trump’s cruel and callous law. Let there be consequences.

The bill goes to the Senate now. Here is how to find out who your senators are and how to contact them… whoismyrepresentative.com

David Frum making the most sense most eloquently on Twitter:

There was a terrible fire in London.. Would any British person say in the aftermath “this is not the time to discuss fire safety?"

We seem to dread that we’ll offend the gods if we seek to prevent the plagues that regularly ravage our villages. Prayers instead!

Fuck all those motherfuckers. I'll have to check their voting records regarding gun control, but since this isn't 1981 (Jodie Foster's still hawt, though), I'm betting they're all NRA supporters — and if I'm right, they DESERVED to be SHOT in the DICK.

Never mind the stars and stripes

This was shown in the establishment media? Anyway, the only problem with Griffin's "stunt" was that she wasn't holding Trump's actual head.

As for tesla69's brain-dead "Zionist media" comment, I'm sure Mayim Bialik is in on the conspiracy.

I dug her until I read this from Wikipedia:

Bialik has also described herself as a "staunch Zionist". [...] During the 2014 Gaza Conflict, she donated money to the IDF for armored vests.

Yeah, I'm sure that even though the U.S. of A. gives billions of dollars in military aid to Israel, the latter's Defense Forces still needed Bialik's donations to level Gaza. STUPID FUCKING WOMAN. Further proof that a degree in anything (neuroscience, in this case) has zero direct connection with intelligence.

I didn't mean to attribute that comment to you, but clearly it came out that way, so I've edited that post.

I don't give a flying fuck anymore. We've taken and taken and taken turd after turd after turd from this bullshit president, his spineless majority in Congress and his retarded and/or evil dickly supporters, and we're still supposed to "take the high road" because otherwise "we're no better than them". Sorry Michelle Obama, I really like you, but I've had enough.
