American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

Look, the memo points to the FBI being a massive shit show. Feel any way you want about Trump/Russia situation, but the fact that the FBI cited a news article as corroboration for the dossier when said article contained information leaked by Steele himself to it is a fuck up of hilarious proportions.

All this does is show that we have some next level asshattery going on and the people get to eat it.

The FBI ain’t the shit show.

It is the peat smoke.

The flames come from below.

Good to know despite the FBI saying this memo is misleading and out of context and been fucking edited by Nunes the fucking idiots still eat it up. The problem is this really is only helping the Dems as this is all but DOA even without the doc to show its not what it appears. Still it only shows which side is full of the fucking idiots and which is not, not that it isn’t crystal clear by now.

@dodgers2213 mind chiming in on the fact that this is known to be misleading? Or should I just leave you in your bubble of bullshit?

and WTF the Dow is dropping SO QUICKLY… Worst drop since 2016… Isn’t this where I am suppose to blame Obama?

BR3N7 in total denial, lapping up the shareblue and democrat spin. Never change shill

You tell us, since apparently everything economically positive that started exactly at POTUS Trump’s election is all actually Obama’s doing, does this slippage now obviously Trump’s fault or still Obama? LMAO

EDIT:

Trump stan calling someone else a shill. I chuckled.

Anyway, I saw this on Twitter. And if I had to end up seeing it, then so do the rest of you.[details=Spoiler]

As iffy as I am on the Guardian sometimes, this has been something that sort of aligns with how I’ve felt about the entire investigation…

This is actually true:

“exactly at Trump’s election” is a fascinating phrase. I too agree that things happen before Trump has a chance to put any policies in place. That’s how things work.

I think it was Trump who mentioned that the Republicans are more united than ever. I’m presuming that’s because anybody who is not batshit crazy already quietly skulked away. Like I don’t care about your politics - we’re supposed to disagree - but we’re in unpresidented territory these days. Badly paraphrasing Geraldo: “Thanks to you, Hannity, Trump hasn’t been impeached yet!” O_o

The fact that things have only gotten “this” bad yet with crazed Republicans in charge of all three branches is actually kind of comforting.

If you look at the propaganda he’s guzzling down - of course he’s goose-stepping to the latest talking points. Just figure some people are hell-bent on blind allegiance and quietly ignore them as much as possible. That’s the great thing about highly partisan sources convincing people that mainstream media is actually what is partisan: you get away with mental murder. Facts haven’t mattered for a while now.

Oh well. At some point this kleptocracy will be over. :tup:

On a more positive note, is Rosario a mom? Didn’t really know. Yeah, she’s a perfect 5/7.

Trump needs people to believe he’s doing work to distract from the scandals. If it wasn’t for that even his own party would cast him out. It’s spin. He needs to get the PR machine moving in his favour.

Trump doesn’t have stans, he has Cartmans.

[details=Spoiler]Rep. Matt Gaetz Appears on CNN to Discuss the Memo - February 2, 2018 - YouTube

I too agree that the problem is not the money laundering and foreign corruption, but that somehow the warrant was issued incorrectly. If only the warrant had been issued correctly, there would not have been money laundering or other crimes. Damn you Hillary Clinton for making Republicans commit crimes.

Dow’s plunging over interest rate concerns…

Good.

The sooner we kill centralized banking, the better.

It is the single greatest evil in human history.

Nothing is eviler.

It is evil itself.

It makes Satan and Jehovah and Allah look like Girl Scouts.

Just think it’s not as if platypotomous didn’t go humble bragging about working with russia none of this would be a thing

But you know context. A partisan mishmash which quotes mother jones as source

I knew the cultist would be in full force. But how dumb they are to think a bias memo crafted by trump devotees. A guy who was supposed to absolve himself. Is the “oj’s glove” shit is hilarious

The gop got what they wanted out of trump. That’s why trey gowdy is “stepping down” because of the hyper partisan bs

And how would you regulate the global economy? Even block-chain technologies need a central server.

You honestly have zero idea what I am talking about, it would seem.

This is not surprising in the least.

You’re part of the problem.

Educate youself.

You don’t even know what the problem is.
Saying we don’t need the central bank’s is to say you got zero idea how the economy actually works.

Actually up to the Great Depression, no one have any real idea how the economy works. And even now the so call experts have little clue what’s actually going on other then trying to play a guessing game with trends.

So Sit the fuck down son. You got no clue what you are speaking of.
