What gets me is the number of idiots that even today still believe his lies. We all know American education is not the best in the world but the level of intelligence shown in his supporters is frightening.

It feels to me like all those worthless trolls we've seen on the internet over the past few years - the ones who attacked Disney for making a black stormtrooper, or Fox for making a black Johnny blaze, who sent rape and death threats to women who criticised sexism in gaming, who got the forum on IMDB shut down for disgusting comments on Hidden Figures, who defended the shit cops and other murderers of black people, who cried and cried about Ghostbusters, who called Leslie Jones a gorilla, who went out and posted anti-climate change hollow on every article they could find, etc. - It feels like those sad, pathetic, lowlife trolls have managed to go beyond the internet and troll real life.

the best argument against democracy is a 5 mn talk with the average voter... Generally attributed to winston Churchill, I don't remember if the attribution is correct, but he had plenty wit to deserve it.

and given they got a majority, it does seem that the frump voter is indeed average , par for the course as their idol might say if he masters enough golf talk to justify his owning so many holes...

Fucking hell! The Obamacare repeal taken down by a group of Repubs who think it doesn't go far enough in leaving the poor to die! :shock:

A good article on legal challenges to Trumps short-sighted, dangerous, inhumane, and generally brain dead proposal to rollback environmental protections. Including the possibility that his own words might bite him on the ass yet again.

Woman tries to kill immigrant's dog. This is what Trump supporters have won. This is their victory.

Trump fails yet again. What happened to being an alleged expert deal maker?

A mate on facebook suggested that Trump is like Joffrey from GoT. Fuck, that's spot on. He really is.

I read that his team is daring the repubs to either pass his legislation on health care, or else they will leave Obamacare as is...

His bill failed. We'll see what the lying loser does next, I suppose.
