Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

Except for poor little Adolf Hitler after the Munich Beer Hall Putsch. Might history have been different if he didn’t have the cachet and time to write afforded in prison?

I don’t think any suggestions to change the constitution are wise with the orange ogre and the Republicans in control.

Absolutely. Can’t get anything done whilst in the grip of authoritarianism. In normal times - whatever that might look like after the dust settles in a post-Trump world - the age thing should be looked at.

Doubt we will have a post Trump world, as such. The fucker might bow out on his golden shitter tomorrow but the orange stain will ooze over society like poison for a long time coming.

That is unnervingly similar in tone to a note I just sent one of my software engineers about something we need to fix.

Me: Bro, the flim flam on the milvus cluster has dropped. We need Spectrum. Kubernetes.
Engineer: None of that makes any sense. What are you talking about?

I think he could even win. His opinions are more grotesque and vulgar than those of his father and he is much more well spoken and sharp.
As a Standard Bearer picking up the mantle for America First from Trump, why not ?
What empirical evidence do we have that he would not be attractive ? He spins well, focuses on woke and America First and Americans adore “royal” dynasties.

I would not discard his chances. I would laugh at it in 2016, but not now. Not now.

Even 5-6 years (without parole) would have sent the needed signal. But he got nothing.

They learnt from the UK and its Rwanda dealings. It’s safe if you declare it safe!

How the fuck can anyone not know what Habeas corpus is , let alone the Minister for Homeland Security ?! It beggars belief , but once again it’s true.

The PodSaveAmerica guys did a very funny piece about all these clowns (her included) being put before Senate Committees in the past week ;
