Sometimes it takes good ole T a while to come around to my positions, but he always does get there.

Could that "GOP operative" refer to Arthur Schwartz? I can email him for the photos if you want.

Yeah, but it's a break from real life, where we point out all the ridiculous bullshit in the Republicans unending stream of dumbass stuff.

Also, this:



@Susan_Hennessey

I've wondered whether Bolton would be the witness that breaks things, thinking that he will be difficult for the GOP to ignore, but they seem so far go that I doubt it now.

I find it absolutely amazing how Trump keeps getting away with shitting on people who know where the bodies are buried. I understand that the Republicans are so invested in this lunatic that their whole machine (from campaign support to post-political career jobs) is set up to punish those who fall out of line. But you'd think that the clown car of people he's used would understand the nature of their fruit fly life cycle in his Administration and actually nail his stupid, careless, racist ass.

It's not Trump who is scaring conservatives into sticking with him, it's other conservatives. They all know that he's going to be gone someday, but they're all scared of his supporters. Without conservatives, Trump would be a narcissistic hotel owner.

Who is this nut job? At least now I understand what Devin Nunes was raving about this morning.

Yes, thanks for that.

Obviously his idiot supporters control the largest voting block of a Republican Party that has gerrymandered itself into a corner. But the RNC, Trump's big money supporters, and the Conservative think tank/lobbyist machine will destroy you if you step out of line, even if you don't care about your seat. And by "destroy you," I mean, "not give you a 7 figure gig for voting the way they want."

We have to stop seeing Trump as some sort of strange phenomenon. When you compare him to some republicans from times past, like G. Gordon Liddy, Joe McCarthy, Henry Ford, Spiro Agnew, Newt Gingrich... is there really that much difference? They all have twisted authoritarian viewpoints, extreme amounts of narcissism, a willingness to embrace mobs and violence to get their ends, and an appeal based heavily on racism and nativism.

It's not something new.

Far be it for me to mix topics on the boards, but the goings on at Deadspin are a damned travesty.

I think six resigned yesterday. I've counted at least four today. I admire the hell out them for this.

I keep seeing references to this, but have no idea what is going on.

I don’t read it but it sounds like management wanted to keep a sports blog limited to sports?
