Cont: The Trump Presidency IX: Nein, Nein!

The sniveling Quisling Nunes went off on a little summer vacay (during his own election campaign cycle, no less, so important was his mission) to the UK to get dirt on Steele from MI5, MI6 and GCHQ. That lot wisely saw through the lapdog lickspittle's machinations as the Orange menace's water-carrier, and had nothing to do with the treasonous toady.

Obviously the Repub Congress cretins were/are looking to tie Steele and Bruce Ohr more closely in their latest hit job on those DOJ personnel involved in the Rusher thing. It's all so goddamned obvious that the Trumpettes really must have their blinders tightly clamped down to not see it.
 
Nunes did something bad during the Trump campaign - it is the only explanation for why he is so hell-bend on not only beating the Dead Horse, but also framing it for murder.
Mueller has probably a thick dossier on him.

If you read the history of Nunes, he was a CTer before Trump. I believe it was simply natural that he latched onto Trump, a match made in tinfoil-hat-land.

I think Trump's referring to (broadly speaking) the War on Xmas. He's given to understand that people of their religion care a lot about that.


I suspect what they care about is the Supreme Court and abortion, so they'll follow Trump's slime-trail anyway.

Oh, I'm sure it was, with a healthy smattering of "they won't let you call the gayz 'abominations'" thrown in. But it was a rare example of him being right, all be it in the opposite way to what he intended.

Summarizing from the Great Leader's latest tweet-thoughts:
  • All things thought, said, or done by a white supremacist are good, including his naturally forgivable sins, because powerful.
  • There is nothing anyone non-white or female can possibly do that is not purest evil and borne of foul intent.
Understanding Republican "thought" is as trivial as contemplating the mind of a barely articulate Ugluk swinging a bloody axe.
 
Trump Tweeted

"Add the 2026 World Cup to our long list of accomplishments!"
 
"...in partnership with Canada and Mexico. I forgot that bit."

I paricularly liked this wording from his meeting with the religious folks.

"the level of anger is very unbelievable."

not just unbelievable...very unbelievable. Sounds super bad.

A question from the distance:
How Trump is possible? Are Americans like him?

He's possible because of the increasing polarisation of US politics, the Tea Party, and the feeling that the right-wing have that they are a shrinking minority; which leads to a growing distrust in democratic processes.

Trump has seemingly not only reached the top (he is described as "a poor man's idea of a rich man"), but he spend a good part of his public life pretending to offer a way to join him there: become His Apprentice, and you will become as rich as him. Read The Art of the Deal, and you will become rich as him etc. etc.

Not to mention Trump University.

Trump's support has stabilized at about 40% overall. That means that 40% of Americans don't see him as a danger to so many fundamentals of U.S. society and politics. And that means that, once Trump is out of the White House, we will still have to deal with 40% of the country that thinks the way they do, and which style of thinking didn't let them see Trump for what he was.

THAT'S a problem. That part of the populace and electorate has been coalescing for a few decades, but Trump's presidency has defined them and gathered them together in a way such that it will take a lot to un-define them and remove the political influence they now enjoy.

Exactly. The problem isn't Trump per se, although the strange cult of personality building around him is troubling.

Which tweets are these? I don’t follow... in multiple ways, really.

But then you get into the issue of how many of that 40% are DIe Hard Trump Supporters, and how many would support anybody in the White House with a "r" after his name.

Trump now has a 90% approval rating among Republicans. I think it's a pretty big issue.

Don't sell yourself short. I'm starting to doubt that he won 2016 anyway. ;)

Let's not be surprised (although I get the point "Eeew, 90% of THEM support that boil on the ass of humanity") that 90% of the Republicans support Trump. The figure for Obama was, in the actual 2012 vote, 92% of Democrats.

I believe that at any juncture nearing an election or upon the election, people self-identify as party members of the candidate they are going to vote for. I'm sure dedicate conservatives and progress haters looked at the 92% the Obama got and were equally aghast.

The thing the Dems have to watch out for is that while 90% is really 25% (90% of the 28% who self-identify as Republicans), the figures are currently even and that rarely happens. 28% identify as GOP, 28% Dems. The Dem number is way down. I'd say the lack of a frontrunner or clear party leader for 2020 is part of it. The other part is that they haven't got a coherent voice and are relying on the GOP's luck of '16.... that enough will hate Trump(Hillary).
 
I see that Trump is predicting violence if the Republicans lose the mid-term elections, according to a report of his meeting with his Evangelican advisors.

(Btw, why does he have religious advisors? What happened to the separation of Church and State?)

What religious advice has Trump ever taken.


I can see the meeting now.


"You shouldn't get divorced any more"
"No more porn stars"
"Be charitable"
"Read the Bible"
"Go to church"
 
If there is violence upon a mid-term Dem win in the House, I should think it'd be from the newly disenfranchised deplorables. The Dems would be in a more celebratory, happy mood. And so I see the Orange menace is just projecting when he makes such pronouncements, if not voicing his innermost desires.

given the last "Charlottesville"- demonstration, I'm not particularly worried.

More to the point, Trump was specifically exhorting these hand-picked religious leaders to go to their pulpits and instruct their congregations to vote for GOP candidates.
