Wow.

But the wheels are coming off the trump train, the gop is endangered, and rl is back front and center, so it's all good.

Yeah - I haven't been paying much attention since I've been on the road. I was sequestered in the wilds of Western Carolina for about two weeks, spent two days on a train to Montreal with a 16 hour stop in D.C. for birthday party in the middle of that and spent all of today touring the oldest part of the city.

I did catch some of the hubub, but I don't get too excited about any of it anymore since it never seems to be enough to get the GOP to impeach the crooked mother-fucker.

The GOP are likely to find themselves on the pointy end of pitchforks if they try to impeach Trump, who took over the GOP against the wishes of their lackluster leadership (but with massive support from the Center of the country).

Trump could have taken over the Democrat Party, but Democrat leaders didn't want him either. Too late, Democrat leaders are trying to copy Trump's program, minus the charismatic leader:

"A Better Deal"

Doubtful that this "new" platform will convince the many people who are disgusted with corrupt, confused, greedy leadership of both parties

Trump is tanking so fast it's even surprising me. His base is beginning to crack, interestingly enough in large part over the Sessions attacks, and it wasn't that large to begin with. within a year it will be a total implosion. The only question is whether he's going to be impeached and removed or whether he's going to resign. I'm betting the latter. Six months in and 42% polled by USA Today, including 15% of Republicans, want to see him impeached. Russia had better get while the gettin's good, because they're about to find themselves with a big fist full of nothing. The question for them will be was it all worth all the effort and capital, both human and monetary, for them. Main question I have now is when did it all start? I think it was before the Republican primaries, and I think people ought to start looking at that. Several Reublicans said we need to be strong against Russian interference because it could be us next time, but I think it started with an attack on Republicans in their primaries.

47083. arkymalarky - 7/26/2017 12:43:26 AM

For instance, I find the empathies of people like Trillium toward Russia absolutely fascinating, and if I recall that was evident long before the general election.

47084. arkymalarky - 7/26/2017 12:49:49 AM

And it's Democratic, dear. Your English teachers really should have taught you the difference between nouns and adjectives when you were in school.

47085. arkymalarky - 7/26/2017 12:52:16 AM

The alt-right Republican insistence on using Democrat as an adjective just feeds The stereotype that their base is essentially uneducated and not really up to dealing with modern times and ways.

47086. Trillium - 7/26/2017 1:34:16 AM

Because many of our schools stopped teaching geography, there are more than a few people who are confused about the difference between "Ukraine" and "Russia". Plus, the languages and landscape are very similar.

Until the early 1990s the two conflicting countries shared the same government. AND it is the Democrat leadership, whose emails were "leaked" but withheld from the FBI, who hired the Crowdstrike computer firm, (including Crowdstrike's staff of Ukrainian/Russian-speaking background). What the hell was going on there?

Do you ever wonder? (Probably not, you're focused on Trump, as directed by your moron leadership)

47087. Trillium - 7/26/2017 1:35:21 AM

Plus the Pakistani Awan family, who were given access to all manner of congressional intelligence, and are now under investigation. What the hell was that all about, anyway? Have you ever wondered? (Probably not)

Why has our national government been handed over to foreign thieves and mafiosi, for decades? Were the moron leaders afraid of being accused of "xenophobia" until Trump laughed in your face? Or -- were they hopeless paid-off greedheads? or both? I'm talking both Republicans and Democrats. Disgusting sedition, at every turn. No wonder people are fed up.

47088. arkymalarky - 7/26/2017 1:43:23 AM

Hahaha! I just love the tinny high-pitched sound of an a-r snowflake's plucked nerve.

By the way, sedition in Trillium's usage is failing to support white is right in any and all cases.

47089. arkymalarky - 7/28/2017 3:01:23 PM

I called John McCain's office and said God bless him to the voice nail in the middle of the night last night.

47090. Trillium - 7/30/2017 8:42:45 PM

Trillium's usage of sedition is the same as Merriam-Webster's. If the shoe fits, wear it.

In Arky's alt-reality, race is tremendously important.

In the 1960s when Arky was still young and able to learn a few things. For example, Arky learned how to be fashionable by *reversing* her hard-wired racism. It was too challenging for her to give up racism altogether, as yet another discredited relic of an earlier century.

47092. Trillium - 7/30/2017 9:00:31 PM

Pitifully, Arky's on board with those who cheered the North Korean imprisonment and abuse-to-death of student Warmbier (because the hapless student, now-deceased, was "white"!) For shame, Arky.

Slate on Warmbier

The implications of China's 2016 snub to former President Obama totally escaped Arky and her Party Faithful.

It isn't just police authority that has been degraded in the past decade. Academic and media authority have also been called into question. Not that you'd notice what's going on around you, and where this direction will logically lead

BP meds finally kicm in enough for you to tap a keyboard?

We just parted with our dear South Korean friend after a 2.5 month visit. You really need to make at least a minimal effort to restrain your hostility toward Other.

If anyone is wondering what the POTUS is doing right now, he's watching Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! and thinking he would have been so much more Presidential than Mark Cuban.

Wait for the tweets...

47095. Ms. No - 8/11/2017 7:28:11 PM

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Needed a good laugh this morning, thanks!

47096. arkymalarky - 8/12/2017 5:38:18 AM

Pundit the other day said that when it's raining they need to give him Elmer's glue and construction paper.

47097. arkymalarky - 8/14/2017 10:51:29 PM

Just popped in to hear the "Trill" of crickets. Which is what I knew I would hear if I popped in.

Props to the Boston Police Department, the MBTA Police and the MA State Police. They did a commendable job today.

To those few agitators hiding among the counter protesters, throwing crap at the police and trying to instigate a problem so your side would have something to blame on the counter protesters, what's your problem? Too cowardly to go stand with your comrades? Not brave enough to wear your Cheeto hats? What a surprise.

Speaking of Cheeto, your true colors are out there for anyone without Trump branded sunglasses on to see. You aren't pulling out of the Kennedy Center Honors “to allow the honorees to celebrate without any political distraction,” you don't have a tiny bone in your body that understands, nevermind appreciates, anything to do with the arts or culture. You stand for whatever puts money in your pocket. Maybe Tina Fey is right, those Confederate statues would come down in a heartbeat if you could put up a cheesy overpriced condo building. You are small in every way, especially small in mind and heart. You represent no one but yourself. You are the real loser.
