All-purpose news and politics thread: Two Steps Beyond!(Part II)

I'm thinking that right now there's a fight in the White House between those who want to show Trump what Barbara Bush said and those who are afraid of what Trump will tweet if they tell him about it.

I feel terrible for saying this but I hope he goes all-in on Bush.

People need to see that possible conspiracy and collision were items #7 and #8 on the 30 reasons why he's unfit.

Mr. Sater was due to a hearing in congress, said hearing has been postponed while congress seeks the Mueller Report. And now this https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politic...trump-projects

I think someone will tell him about the piece. If Trump is kept in the dark by his minions and he learns about the Bush book second hand (say, via Faux News), he'll go ballistic.

Oh man, it’s hysterical how the left has suddenly embraced the likes of the Bush’s and the McCain’s.

I guess I’m old enough to remember 2005-2008.

Or back in 2000 when the Bush’s floated that hit piece about John McCain having a mixed love child.

Too funny

Caramel Caligula is nowhere near tyrant status yet. That would be an insult to Bad Vlad and Rocketman.

May is promising to resign once Brexit is delivered.

I wish Trump would double down like that on the wall.

We are allowed human empathy considering death and sickness. But also, the enemy of my enemy and all that.

also, i've always respect mccain, even when he went up against obama. most of it comes from the fact that when a old white woman claimed that obama was a secret Muslim, mccain immedetely shut that **** down and refuse to help propogate that silly rumor, even if doing so would've helped him in the election.
