Game Over for Trump

[Pat Mustard]

Nothing I would rather see more than Trump dropping out and Pence taking his place.

Leave it to you to wave the pom poms for theocratic fascism.

Establishing policy guidelines is the reason he has the title of "chief legislator."

... except, he doesn't have that title, and policy guidelines do not have the force of law. Feel free to look it up.

Okay, I shouldn't have used the word "title" because that made it sound more official than it is. "Chief legislator" is one of the titles/roles my elementary school teachers taught me when I was but a wee lad...

America’s evangelical Christians, awakened by the millions to political activism barely a generation ago, now find themselves in what can only be described as a crisis of conscience. The immediate and excruciating crisis has a name — Donald Trump.

No, but you get the point.

Here's hoping he says something to Merkel.  

"I wanna grab your pussy?"

Actually come to think of it, he's not the asking-permission type.

I was more thinking about telling her to go fuck herself, or something. But hey, those rapefugees she's letting into Europe aren't exactly asking-permission types either.

None of those "rapefugees" (for fuck's sake, really?) are running to be the leader of the most powerful country in the world. But your boy is, and he's turning out to be quite the little sex offender.

Some countries have accepted refugees. Countries that have no problems with foreign people. The refugees just dont wanna come here, because its hard to live. Still better than a war torn place. Ah the lusitanian beach.

Yes. He approves or vetoes law. He doesn't perform the functions of a legislator -- crafting and amending law.

Sorry if I'm coming across overly pedantic, but the separation of powers is an incredibly important concept to our democracy ... and conversely, vesting the power to make law in the hands of one man is a hallmark of autocracy.

You are right Cato, when has the right ever cared about policy in the last 2 decades? They only care about the facade.

And Sanders at least came close. If he was just a little younger, I think he'd have a big chance next election.

But let's be clear about Sanders.  He suffered from the same problem as Drumpf.  Nothing he promised had a chance in hell of getting through Congress.  Sanders, having been in Congress for 25 years should know that.  Drumpf, who doesn't know shit from shinola about how the government works is simply ignorant.

Both were peddling pie-in-the-sky to their fans.

Republicans Urge Replacing Man Who Hates Women with Man Who Hates Women and Gays

“What this party needs right now is healing,” he said. “I can think of no one better to make that happen than a man who’s shown he hates many people equally.”
