The Isolated Political Blurt Thread

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt can't answer a yes-or-no question to save his life (or even his ass)
Yes and no are just not ambiguous enough.

It depends on how many ways you can avoid saying yes, no, or your name.

"I already addressed that in my written statement."
"That was covered in my testimony last month."
"I don't recall the details of the transaction."
"That was never brought to my attention."
"It is a sensitive, complex situation."
"I am advised not to answer that."
"The dog ate my homework."
"Fifth, Fifth, Fifth, Fifth."
"Fuck off, shithead."
"Nya-nya-nya!"
Blank stare.
Silence.

Some of those can be paraphrased, of course. But they all mean the same.

I suppose Sarah Huckabee Sanders never took a turn at the mic because Michelle Wolf used all of her jokes.

"Burn facts to make good smokey eye shadow" somehow became a personal insult on the looks of a woman.

These lame-ass wannabe sycophants in the media need to check the mirror.

And when Seth Meyers made disparaging comments about Obama's hair and ears, conservatives guffawed heartily to a man.

Oh, conservatives told many jokes about Obama, had oh so many laughs, hahaha. Jokes about Kenya, and Islam, and Socialism, and gun confiscation, and the Obamas' sexuality, and [/me looks at notes] all sorts of hilarious made-up stuff.

Funny how nobody has to make-up stuff about Tromp -- because he's already leaked the punchlines. Pussies, Mexicans, enemies, swamps, they're all there. He's impossible to parody.

Many jokes are lies. So what's the truth about Tromp? For fun, I gargled lies about trump and mostly got hits on Tromp's own lies. But there was this: Liberal 'lies' about President Trump but alas, this opinion piece is mostly about Clinton and Obama and Clinton and Rice and Clinton. I can't really find where anyone bothers much to lie about Tromp. Coals to Newcastle, I guess.

And perhaps you should look at yourself in the mirror when you are checking Trump on stage at one of his rallies--or on Twitter or anywhere else.

Deplorable hypocrite.

Obama has a sense of humor. Trump doesn't. Obama is a decent human being. Trump isn't.

Then again, Mark Twain never had trouble seeing the obvious. Obviously you do. It's OK with me that you continue posting as the fool even as Trump's swamp gets more mucky and deeper.

*checks watch* Because you're so obsessed w/Trump, me, and whatever pops into that decaying brain of yours - I'll throw you a bone little Keithy.

Pls. Tell me more.

White House Mystery: Where Is Macron’s Gifted Oak Tree?

A mystery is brewing at the White House about what happened to the oak tree President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron planted there last week.

The sapling was a gift from Macron on the occasion of his state visit.

News photographers snapped away Monday when Trump and Macron shoveled dirt onto the tree during a ceremonial planting on the South Lawn. By the end of the week, the tree was gone from the lawn. A pale patch of grass was left in its place.

The White House hasn’t offered an explanation.

The oak sprouted at a World War I battle site that became part of U.S. Marine Corps legend. About 2,000 U.S. troops died in the June 1918 Battle of Belleau Wood, fighting a German offensive.

Did the tree harbor cocaine, or aphrodisiacs, or ticks, or hidden orders from Putin for Tromp, or a strange French disease, or receipts from Melanoma's 'escort' days, or alien artifacts? Will we ever know? Will we ever care?

I think the tree was found to have dandruff and was given the brushoff.

I think I'll avoid politics today. More important things to do. Of course, there's bound to be someone out there perfectly willing to fuck it up.

it's not subjective. it's demonstrable, objective. SAD!

Richard Uihlein, a wealthy shipping-supplies magnate from Illinois who shuns the spotlight, has risen to become one of the most powerful — and disruptive — GOP donors in the country.

In recent years, Uihlein underwrote a fight against public-employee unions in Illinois that has become one of the most consequential labor cases to reach the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court in February heard arguments in Janus v. AFSCME, on whether it is unconstitutional to require state government workers to pay union dues even when they decide not to join.

Time Machine

Matt Schlapp and Meghan McCain had a twitter fight

Chad Emery
@publicemery1
@mschlapp Love CPAC, but please condemn the booing of Sen McCain and the man who was discussing naturalization. Terrible look for the movement


Matt Schlapp
@mschlapp
Chad folks were booing his (John McCain's) vote to retain obamacare. That's worth a boo



Meghan McCain
✔
@MeghanMcCain
Given what my family is going through right now and what my father has given to this country I would expect better from both you and the crowd, Matt. But please, continue making excuses for the inexcusable.

Why are they having a spat on twitter ?

Trump was at the CPAC event, and was encouraging the crowd to boo at John McCain


Trump takes aim at John McCain in CPAC speech: ‘what a mess'
In his speech Friday morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference, President Donald Trump took aim Sen. John McCain, knocking the Arizona Republican for voting against his party’s bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.


Meghan McCain's complaint-

Meghan McCain said she understood the jeers were over health-care policy, but asked why two other Republicans who voted against the GOP legislation, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, were not denounced along with McCain.



https://www.azcentral.com/story/new...os-directed-ailing-dad-john-mccain/390137002/

Trump laid all of the blame on McCain


"Except for one senator, who came into a room at 3 o’clock in the morning and went like that, we would have had health care too, we would have had health care too, think of that," Trump told the conservative audience, imitating the thumbs-down McCain gave during a late-night repeal vote."

That's the core of Tromp's modus operandi: Never accept responsibility. Always find a scapegoat. Always blame somebody. It's their fault, not mine. Everybody is picking on me. The dog ate my homework. Pathetic; a crybaby. But deadly when the infant commands immense power.

Stephen Colbert points out the obvious.

The White House Correspondents Association hired Michelle Wolf.

Why are they bitching, now ?

gsgs comment-

FFS, they are a group of journalists.
They know how to do research.

Sean Spicer reminds of a scene in the "Witches of Eastwick movie. The three women have reached their limit of tolerance with their companion, Daryl Van Horne. They are fearful and desperate, so they plan to rid themselves of his bullying. They put their plan into action.

Maybe, the outcome was not something they envisioned. Desperate actions are taken. Daryl Van Horne was reduced to the size of a fetus. He persisted, in trying to control them, even though he was so tiny, he could hardly be heard. His voice stopped, because he was so reduced in size, he "poofed" out of existence.

Sean Spicer has been so reduced, his status in the media has been reduced to the attention you give to a mouse fetus. Yet. Spicer still persists in participating in promulgating the acknowledgement of Trump.

No attention is so meager, that it won't be gathered.

After his wax museum gig, he'll be doing supermarket and Chick-Fil-A grand openings, tractor-pull championships, and erectile dysfunction promos. Life is good.

Not in Boston.
