Bah, it's still a win for Trump supporters. They'll just call it a whitewash proving how deeply entrenched the deep state corruption goes.

It's not a win, but they'll completely ignore fact and scream that it is.

Ignorant loudmouth Derp State assbags: that's their fucking M.O. in a nutshell.

You can tell she must have ulcers the size of Ohio:



The day the little kid hit her with the "how are you going to keep me safe in school" question and she nearly lost her shit I knew she wasn't long for this job. And we've been seeing reports today that she's on her way out. Hope it was worth it.

Yeah, I think she's going to try to hang on and get her "calendar year" in for future job prospects, but she looks like she's pretty much done right now. Interesting that as soon as it was leaked that she is planning to leave, she vehemently denied it. Just can't stop lyin', lyin', lyin'...

It's just partisan buffoonery. Nobody wins, but everyone does get insulted.

This is the problem with the ultra-partisan politics these days. The fact that all Republicans have to be flag-waving, bible-thumping right-wingers and all Democrats have to be bleeding-heart liberals else face the prospect of getting primaried means that the sort of cross-the-aisle friendships and cooperation that used to be the norm has have become almost impossible. As a result, the reaction of each party to any news story is totally predictable and totally based on making “their side” look right and the “other side” look evil, stupid, or un-American.

This is not what a healthy political society looks like. I knew it was in the terminal phase when those old-time, commie-hating GOPers fell into line over how wonderful Trump is for meeting Kim. Can you imagine their reaction if Obama had done that? I mean, pre-emptively canceling military exercises without consulting our allies? Impeachment proceedings would have been instantly initiated...

Democrats are not bleeding-heart liberals, they are centrists. The GOP is borderline fascist. The problem is that America isn’t aware of this.

or preemptively declaring that LGBTQ were no longer welcome in the DoD, without consulting the DoD, AFTER the DoD had just changed their policy to accept LGBTQ openly.

Ok, I am having a hard time coming here to this thread right now. Yes, things are shitty. Yes, the trump illiterati will remain illiterate conspiracy theorists. Yes, talking rationally and logically with evidence and facts does not seem to matter at times. At least in the media and in social media. But the feeling I get here, which I don't believe, is that it is all so f*cked it is end times and bring on the meteors. This seems to me to be (nearly) as out of it as the conspiracy theorists and right wing "kristyans" (I won't use the other term to refer to them) thinking this is all part of the end times so drill baby drill and shit. Wringing our hands and whining about the idjits does not get anything done. Ok, rant over. I feel a little better now.
