We need to talk about Donald: the cursing & swearing thread

You're all wrong. Trump is a liberal. 42 assured us of that.

Trump is letting the Christofacists run roughshod over the country. He himself doesn't give a shit. This is all a game to him. But will so-called atheist Trump-cultists turn away from him? Will they now draw a line?


Fuck no! They've invested themselves so heavily, and dug their heels in this far already over their bad purchase, they will bend over backwards to try rationalise this away.

Kristin Beck, transgender Navy SEAL hero: 'Let's meet face to face and you tell me I'm not worthy'

That's asking a bit much, Kristen. You're talking about an honourless, spineless coward who doesn't have the guts to visit blue states and said he won't go to Britain until the people are more welcoming of him because he knows he'll have to face crowds of people who think he's a useless, morally bankrupt fool who should never have been put in charge of giving oranges at half time at a rugby match, let alone a whole country.

Oh, and before some dickhead apologist comes along and tries to weasel in a claim that Trump is doing this for purely, saintly economic reasons -

Ugly Ties: The Trump Administration and Hate Groups.

The Trump administration has had no problem speaking to, working with, and headhunting from organizations classified as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Here, I have compiled numerous instances of officials in the administration meeting with or speaking to these organizations, as well as recruiting personnel from these very hate groups to join their team. Listed below are seven total violations of the no-contact order that, until recently, I assumed existed between these groups and the highest levels of government.

Republicans are using an obscure bill to quietly erode the separation of church and state
Churches could become the new Super PACs.

With media attention focused on the national debate raging over health care, it would be easy to ignore the spending bill quietly making its way through the House of Representatives. Such proposals often dwell in the largely mundane machinations of the federal government, and technical disputes over its complicated provisions can fly under the radar.

But if you care about the separation of church and state, this year’s bill might be worth paying attention to.
Tucked deep inside more than 200 pages of text is a tiny provision, recently added by the House Appropriations Committee, designed to defang the so-called Johnson Amendment — a section of the tax code that bars churches (a broad legal term that includes most faith groups) and other tax-exempt nonprofits from explicitly endorsing political candidates.

But Hillary's emails!

Thirty-five percent of Americans approve of President Trump's job performance, according to a Reuters poll released Wednesday. Fifty-nine percent disapprove of the job the president is doing.

"Trump's Scaramucci Deletes Tweet Claiming Release of His Public Financial Disclosure is A ‘Felony’"

Trump’s new White House communications chief Anthony Scaramucci has deleted a tweet calling for the FBI and Justice Department to investigate what he said was a “felony” leak of his financial disclosure forms.

The documents were actually available to the public four days ago.

The documents obtained by Politico show that Scaramucci still holds an ownership stake in his Wall Street hedge fund SkyBridge Capital and earned $4.9 million from it in the first six months of the Trump administration while working at the government’s Export-Import Bank. That’s on top of the $5 million salary he drew.

Reporting roughly $85 million in assets, Scaramucci filed the standard White House employee disclosure of his business holdings and any loans or debts he has with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on June 23, according to the document.

Under federal law these documents must be made publicly available online after 30 days, The New York Times points out. That would have made them public documents last Sunday, July 23.

Yet Scaramucci lashed out when his disclosure was publicly released. “In light of the leak of my financial disclosure info which is a felony. I will be contacting @FBI and the @TheJusticeDept #swamp,” Scaramucci tweeted following reports about his disclosure Wednesday.

Trump-cultists drowning in the swamp now. Surely this is enough to turn them away?

Is it fuck. Because, as I've said it before, their reasons for voting Trump were never what they claimed they were.
