Drain the... Too soon?

Now put him in black face for the finisher!

Ummm, I didn't put him in there. He put himself in there.

[hepcat]

and then you put it here in a misguided attempt at making a point.

Of course. Jim Carrey is currently out their talking crap about people. He lives in a glass house.

[hepcat]

So you're of the opinion that no one can change?

[Rip]

So you're of the opinion that no one can change?

I'm sure they can. But I would suggest they refrain from vehemently attacking people who do no worse things than they did only a few short years ago.

Do you think being attacked by a hollywood elitist led to his change assuming he has changed?

[hepcat]

Do you think everyone who has done something stupid in their past should just keep their mouths shut when they see someone else doing the same thing?

[Rip]

Do you think everyone who has done something stupid in their past should just keep their mouths shut when they see someone else doing the same thing?

No but it is possible to say something without viciously attacking them.

[hepcat]

And the irony of a Trump supporter asking for civility completes my day.

Thanks.

[Rip]

You are welcome. For the record I hate the way Trump acts like a child. I'm in the battle for policy not theatrics.

I still watch Jim Carrey movies so not like I let a lack of civility lead me to stop supporting anyone from either side.

No you aren't. This is just one of the many things you say when you aren't trolling something specifically.

[Paingod]

His policy IS theatrics. That and anti-Obama everything, anti-science, pro-(worst parts of religion), and pro-racism.

His policy IS theatrics. That and anti-Obama everything, anti-science, pro-(worst parts of religion), and pro-racism.

Not to mention enriching himself and his cronies in whatever ways he can, regardless of the cost, up to and including the loss of America's diplomatic, political, and moral capital in the world.

Which makes me wonder which policies RIP endorses so strongly that Trump is his ticket.

RIP, can you check off the things you love about Trump? It may help us understand.

• Religious agendas
• Racism (AKA "old white fart that looks down on everyone not white" syndrome)
• Self enrichment
• "America First" (where America means "ME")
• Theatrics and spotlight chasing
• Conspiracy theories
• Outdated and polluting jobs
• Bullying and/or mocking private citizens
• Womanizing and/or sexually assaulting women
• Lying or inventing "facts" - by the thousands
• Anti-science
• Anti-Obama everything
• Gutting diplomatic channels
• Taunting DPRK leadership
• Pushing Iran faster towards nukes
• Word salad or "shooting from the hip"
• Desire to convert America to an authoritarian regime
• Edit: Not Hillary

There's probably more, but I'm not having fun writing this.

[Carpet_pissr]

You left off the only one that matters (and you only need one):
- Not Hillary

Her evil, ineptitude and gross shrillness outweigh all of the others in your list combined. I mean, EMAIL SERVER!!! Amiright?

He needs the "anti-Obama" everything as well though to complete Rips list.

[Paingod]

While I was never keen on Hillary and thought she was very "ugh" as a candidate, my vote was never FOR her, it was AGAINST Trump. I still don't understand why she comes up except to act as a looking glass for people that hated her and want to justify what they've done to our country by electing Trump. She was never a great choice, but she's better than accelerating climate change, chasing WW3, and 2.5 Trillion dollars of debt.

So people are willing to burn the country to oppose Hillary and unwrite Obama?

I'm even sadder than before. I was hoping at least for some racism and selfishness in the mix.

[Carpet_pissr]

So people are willing to burn the country to oppose Hillary and unwrite Obama?

After much rumination on this very question, and asking Trump supporters I know, sadly I think the answer is a solid "YES".

[hepcat]

Ditto. I was actually prepared to vote Republican if they'd gone with a sane adult. But they chose to run with the 12 year old in a giant orange body.

Yep. 99% of the people I know that voted Trump did so more as an anti-Hillary vote rather than for Trump. Even more sadly most of them are now solidly behind him (mostly, I have to believe, to avoid admitting what they have done to our nation).

[Carpet_pissr]

are now solidly behind him (mostly, I have to believe, to avoid admitting what they have done to our nation).

I also believe this to be true, which in post-modern America, means that it IS true.

[LordMortis]

If today's stance is (rather than all of the other stuff), then we've hit something that at least has the potential to make sense.

I'm in the battle for policy

I guess it's time to look at Trump Policy enactment. We'll see if I have time to see what they administration has accomplished or pushed for and failed against the obstructionist democrats that control government. I have a mental ugly list but I want the list to be as objective as I can make with stand on the mountain pissing into the void opinions on them coming after.

Ooooh, my sides.

Thanks for the laugh.

Here are a few other things that Mr. Trump has done:

• Appointed Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and more than 75 other constitutionally sound federal judges, 30 of which are serving.

Yeah. After his team blocked Obama's appointees, they've been ramming through their own agenda. Go USA!

• Reinstated an expanded Mexico City Policy blocking foreign aid from being used for abortions.

Religion! Religion! Yeah! MAGA, baby!

• Cracked down on illegal immigration and “sanctuary cities.” As Attorney General Jeff Sessions put it: “The lawlessness, the abdication of the duty to enforce our laws, and the catch and release policies of the past are over.”

America was built by immigrants, for immigrants - get those filthy immigrants out of here so we can rot in peace.

• Issued an order killing two federal regulations for every new one. In actuality, 16 were cut for every new one inhis first year, saving billions.

Actually, he's fucking razing the government and crippling it for years to come. Yay!

• Engineered a historic tax cut that will save money for more than 80 percent of American households.

I look forward to the staggering 2.5 Trillion in debt we'll have thanks to this, so a few people can get $20/week extra while the top 1% gets millions and millions.

• Withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, ending the threat of U.S. governance by international bureaucrats.

More like "Ending American Leadership on Climate Change" - the biggest global threat ever.

• Reversed onerous Obama environmental rules that gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ham-handed authority to destroy the coal industry and abrogate landowners’ rights.

Accelerating climate change and our rush to oblivion. MAGA, motherf%#&$er!

I'm just ... no. Try again.

Washington Times opinion piece written by Robert H. Knight, draftsman of the Defense of Marriage Act.

The left, which turned a blind eye to the flagrant immorality of Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton, is ordering evangelical Christians to abandon Mr. Trump. Before too many well-meaning people take the bait, a reminder of what Mr. Trump has accomplished might be in order.

"the left"

"these guys decades ago"

"ordering"

"it's ok that Drumpf is a sinkhole of morals because...things"

And that's the first paragraph.

Geezus.

Well trolled.

Ah thanks. I love good satire.

[Holman]

The Washington Times was founded by Reverend Moon, and the Unification Church still controls it. They've been all in on most of the ugliest right-wing conspiracies from Birtherism to Seth Rich to the Deep State and everything in between.

They're an imitation news source, and decent people don't publish there.

To springboard off the various threads and discussions we're all having (or not) in R&P, I feel this perfectly describes so much of what I see:



From here

[tgb]

This is what happens when Drumpf sends a letter to a retired English teacher (and yes, she did send it back).

[Kraken]

Whatever flunky wrote that will probably lose his/her job if Trump sees it. I wonder if the writer deliberately used inappropriate capitalization to make it seem authentic -- although it should be more random if that were the case.

[Moliere]

An English Teacher's Incorrect Correction of a Trump Letter Illustrates His Critics' Reflexive Condescension

Don't get me wrong. The president is a huge doofus. But Mason's markup of his letter does not reinforce that point. In fact, none of Mason's corrections is correct, although there are at least two mistakes in the letter that she neglected to note. Mason's showy but erroneous pedantry illustrates the tendency of Trump's opponents to cast policy disagreements as questions of competence and to delight in everything that reflects badly on him, even when that thing is not, strictly speaking, true. These tendencies, which mirror Trump's own fondness for ad hominem attacks and recklessness with facts, alienate potential allies while confirming his supporters' conviction that he is sticking it to a supercilious elite that holds them in contempt.
...
Almost all of Mason's corrections are complaints about capitalization. Specifically, the letter capitalizes the words federal, state, nation, and president even when they are not components of proper nouns. That is not A.P. style. That is not Reason style. That is not my style. But as the Times notes, it is White House style:

A style manual for the federal government calls for capitalizing "Nation" and "Federal" when the words are used as a synonym for the United States. It says "State" should be capitalized when it is referring to the government or legislature. In letters from Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush that constituents posted online, words like "Nation" and "President" are capitalized.
