Open Thread For Nov. 19, 2018: No More Mr. Nice Guy
Memo to Democrats: Nice Won’t Cut It. This is so obvious that EVEN Delaware’s neutered delegation should recognize it. You don’t have to be a dick about it. Just stand for something other than ‘reaching across the aisle’.
Trump Trashes The Guy Who Got Bin Laden. Calls him a ‘Hillary supporter’. Trump gets less well every day.
Why Trump ‘May Never Know’ Who Killed Khashoggi: He Won’t Listen To The Tape.
Trump Plans To Ban Acosta Again. Let’s face it. The only way Trump can stay in office is to totally discredit the press and Mueller and the facts they present. It won’t work.
Yup. Looks Like Bannon & Cambridge Analytica Were Behind Brexit Passage.
What do you want to talk about?
Noticed the “Delaware Delegation” is mostly keeping their aisle reaching mouths shut, am not complaining. But you did forget Trump’s famed forest fire prevention tip of raking the forests, in Finland no less.
Covered that one yesterday. What’s new is that the Finnish president called BS on Trump.
The Surrendercrats are already making their usual gurgling noises. Prepare the fainting couches:

Pigs always escalate. Pigs are sociopaths who are taught to use agression & violence to keep people in their place.

More pigish behavior from the pigs.

Anyone keeping count of the “bad apples”?
Periodic reminder. Fuck all police.
It’s a bad orchard.
Here are the 16 House “Democrats” who need to be defeated in 2020 primaries:

@Alby,
1. Do you think that Pelosi replaces Clinton as the Great Satan for 2020? I’ve been talking to a few members of the right wing and invariably they bring up Pelosi, blah, blah. as representative of all that’s wrong with America. You know that kind of trash.
2. Secondly, would the next speaker be the Great Satan regardless of who it is?
3. Is Pelosi the most effective speaker of those who would be speaker?
Trump seems to need to personalize his enemies. It’s not enough to demonize Democrats. He likes to have an effigy, so he can personalize the naming calling.
Let me take a stab at these.
1. Yes (along with AOC and Rep Omar who are living in their collective heads already.)
2. Yes
3. No one can know since no one else has been. You know the speaker doesn’t need to be a member of the House? (I bet you did know.)
By the way, I’m ok with Pelosi for know. But if she keeps it up with this stupid PAYGO I’m going hit the ceiling. I’ll arrange another office occupation myself. That’s fucking dumb shit.
If pressed for my first choice alternation…. Barbara Lee.
Thanks and yeah I knew that. It’s a nice imagination game though, given that kind of choice, who would make a great speaker, and why?
I always opt for someone of sufficient gravitas, who has the respect of both sides of the aisle and is able to get them to act like adults. And of course, both left and right sneer at my choices because they all want warriors and I choose peacemakers.
Yeah, it’s unfortunate that your politics are based on some antiquated myth about Tip O’Neill, but that’s cool.
Personally, I’m not going to be making peace with folks who’ll gift the affluent capital class a trillion and a half dollar then demand entitlement cuts for the poor and elderly because the deficit is high.
I’m frankly not interested in peace. I’m interested in justice and winning.
