American Government Thread 2: RIP John McCain, 81

No it means that in the ideal world the legislator supposed to set up to the plate and draft bills in which they become laws that provide legal rights not explicitly covered by the Constitution.

But we both know the realities of that one, many Decades of voting for the “lesser” evil made sure politics are filled with corrupt career politicians who more concern about their own agendas and lining their pockets than making decisions that reflect on the needs and wants of their voting consistences.

So Trump wants the word “Spy” to be used when its not the case and none of that is true at all.

But today GOP only meetings on this will happen and by end of week we will have every Trumpette buying this fake narrative and will be on Faux 24-7… See this is where I get annoyed even though we are watching in real time the “set-up” all while trying to say the actual real needed investigation has “no basis” these idiots will still buy the clear crap.

Meetings will have Democrats now…doesn’t make it any less stupid.

QUICK someone give Trump the Nobel Prize!!!

Asking for a friend…

Those are gonna be worth CASH.

It could’ve been so nice, but no. We’re back to square one, threatening with nukes n shit. Ours is bigger than yours, woo. The whole Libya part and aftermath is just so… dumb.

To be fair…this should have been done loooooooong ago.

hahahahah I can’t believe they let him write the letter on his own.

So to be clear, you are ok if Trump uses “sources” to spy on possible Russian activity in Democrat campaigns.

Yes if legally done but that wasn’t spying so stop calling it that. It was an informant which is very common, which was used to check and see what another country was willing to do to influence our election. Your free to show proof otherwise.

So your saying its ok that Russia want’s to interfere in and sway our elections? Just want to be clear you find that acceptable that Russia not only tries but people might accept and take them up on offers like Trump Jr. did?

This is like the Unmasking crap all over again, when something is LEGAL and warranted then yes I could care less as should you… If an informant was just used for fun or for PROVEN political purposes then its a different story and I would condemn the decision made but one party showed it was willing to take meetings with Russians so I would say that it was the right move to use the informant wouldn’t you?

So I ask since its been 1 year, 124 days and 19 hours as of this post that Trump has been the elected leader of the county … I ask WHAT THE FUCK HAS HE DONE THAT IS POSITIVE?

lol…it sounds like you got this bullshit argument straight from the Crime Prevention Research Center. the guy that runs that organization is a well-known, pro-gun rights advocate with a history of using fraudulent methods to mislead people. he’s the guy fox news calls up when they want an “academic expert” to talk about guns. Lott made the same argument you’re making even using the UK as a template as well. anything that dude says about guns must be viewed as suspect. caveat emptor.




the bottleneck for moving forward with a solution seems to be with trump, the GOP and the NRA. this was evident since the dickey amendment was passed. but hey, at least they’re consistent.

lol…he lost a nobel prize which he irrationally thought he deserved and had a chance of winning. only trump can end up looking like a bigger clown compared to NK. lately, trump is holding an abnormally large amount of Ls because he’s taking them on domestic and foreign policy at the same time. on foreign policy, he got his bluff called, his card pulled and his pockets ran by china. trump’s own party knows trump got worked by china and is so shook. they’re even taking steps to stop his dumb ass from making it worse. the chinese should cancel their loan to complete the trump’s denouement.




when trump starts copping pleas and starts blaming other people for his failures. you know he knows he lost.


lol…quit crying and hold those Ls, cheeto. obama didn’t make your dumb ass pull out of TPP and then look into getting back into it once you realized you had no leverage over the chinese.

speaking of trade, trump missed Congress’s deadline for getting a NAFTA deal done but they’re not even close in negotiations. apparently, trump is now looking into imposing tarrifs on auto imports to force concessions because he’s failing as usual. in any case, whatever happens trump is most likely going to get rolled.

domestically, it looks like trump’s tax cut and healthcare plans are paying off. oh wait, it isn’t. Harley-Davidson used their tax cut to close a factory, cut 350 jobs, and reward $700M to shareholders in stock buybacks. Kimberly-Clark used their savings from the tax cut to cut 5,000 jobs.


the gop said the tax cut would lead to thousands of dollars in annual wage increases.

i think it’s funny corporate america lied to bush when he got finessed on his tax cut plan, but they didn’t even bother to lie with trump.



trump: you’re going to use that tax cut to help the american people. high five.
corporate america: no, motherfucker! we cutting payroll and spending that shit on stock buybacks and executive bonuses.

trump said he would eliminate the deficit. the CBO analyzed his latest budget and said, “fuck no!”.


finally, trump said he’ll take care of everyone and they’ll be covered beautifully under his superior health care plan. of course, he never unveiled his healthcare plan, but he’s been sabotaging obamacare. lol…don’t get sick, trump stans.

lol…they won’t answer. they rather talk about their irrational love for their cult leader than facts, policy or complain about how it unfair it is to criticize trump for his inexplicable actions and unforced errors.

It would finally appear that estimates for the future debt has increased. While still not at an all time time, this is higher than I would like. It would be time to start planning some cuts.

I would still like to see cuts in entitlement spending.

Honestly even getting back to the spending levels during the recession would be a huge help.

Yeah, let’s keep skullfucking the people without money. It’s weird that we just gave the rich a ton of money and yet the middle and lower classes aren’t benefitting.

As someone who has been lucky in life: if your net worth is under a million and you’re voting republican (or libertarian), you really should think through your life choices. It’s disgusting that I will make more not working than most people make working. That is a fucked up system.

Jesus H. Christ!

1,475 migrant kids lost by federal agencies!!

You say taking less money from rich people and corporations skullfucks the poor. Trump supporters think that failing to enforce immigration laws and international trade laws skullfucks the poor.

Everyone wants to help the poor, but it’s a problem that has plagued mankind since antiquity and there is no one model way to eliminate it. That’s why democracies have elections, so that nations can try to peaceably navigate these debates. It would be really nice if America was a country that could respect the results of its own elections.

Those kids are going to grow up to be domestic terrorists.


lol…one is a parody account and the other isn’t supposed to be, but…




lol…MCGA (making china great again). trump soft ass gets sonned and shitted on by the chinese and then finnesed into bailing out a chinese company. trump says it’s, “a personal favor for president Xi”. i can hear the trump stans defending this by saying,“6d underwater quantum chess”. president Xi should change his title to finesse god Xi.

Really confused how enforcing immigration laws helps the poor. Illegal aliens are bogeymen for America’s problems and are an extreme minority.
