It honestly seems like she only wanted in on a White House gig to stir up s*** and use the White House as a place to have a wedding photo shoot (which she got dragged by ethics groups for).

Word around the cyber campfire says Omarosa was fired by Major Dad (Chief of Staff John Kelly) and she didn't take well to the news, acted the fool and had to be escorted from the White House:

and some of them are hanging this on Bannon now

but mostly are mad that they aren't getting their wall

Well, there had been talk that Captain Breitbart was the architect behind Roy Moore's resurgence in the campaign, bringing Trump and the bigwigs of the GOP back to supporting him when it looked like the Alabama Diddler was dead in the water. So yeah, Bannon is squarely in the right wing/conservative crosshairs. To that, I say----GOOD!

These are the times we live in people...

"An unidentified man is facing multiple charges after crashing his car, assaulting another driver involved in his crash, stripping naked and then fleeing from authorities Tuesday..."

Looks like the GOP are still going full speed ahead on their tax bill. Even though Democrats want to wait until after Doug Jones is seated.

Get ready for the Trump Recession or the Trump Depression.

And that's exactly why the GOP is hellbent on getting that horrific tax bill passed. With only a 51-49 majority in Congress after last night, Republicans can't risk their gift to the billionaires they're in bed with being derailed by members with anything even remotely resembling a conscience who might vote against it.

The most hilarious broflakes are those who are NOW crying foul at the court ruling that gives election officials permission not to preserve electronic ballot records - the ruling that the GOP secretary of state, John Merrill, had asked for! Because now THEY want the recount.

Just saw a screencap of something from 4chan where some tinfoil hat-wearing loon said this was all some big sting operation to finally expose George Soros trying to fix elections for Dems, hahahaha!

[Mister Mets]

What I want to know is, what in the holy hell did seven percent of black men and three percent of black women see in Moore, especially after he had said that the last time America was great was during slavery?

Maybe they think age is just a number

when I get home from work, I fully intend to bathe in the salty salty tears of 4chans meltdown

probably R Kelly fans as well

Mets as a republican, do you think Bannon is hurting more than helping to the party?

[Handsome men don't lose fights]

Graphs like these. Like wow.

This is hideous to me. I am feeling real despair right now. What the hell is wrong with White America? College educated white America, I should say. The supposed "hub of leftist communist safe space crybabies, nyuhur hur hur hur." People who actually know they're voting against their best interests but don't give a damn because **** everyone who isn't them. What happened to these guys?

[Handsome men don't lose fights]

I seriously thought that Jones won because of a change in the hearts and minds of significant percent of conservative voters who just couldn't abide his awfulness. Nope, that number was barely dented. No noticeable impact. The minority vote saved the Jones campaign, flat out. Which is great, but also terrifying. Great, because it shows the power of a charged base, terrifying, because the white majority is on some serious kool aid and needs to get talked off the ledge.

What's the argument that he helps?

If you want my uninformed guess, I'd say a black president happened, and to some of those folks, that was something they simply couldn't tolerate, despite being educated and allegedly leftist. Let's not ignore the fact this was Alabama, allegedly one of the more backward and racist states in the South, maybe those educated whites saw a vote for Jones as support for the policies of that black president they couldn't stand, or maybe they liked Moore because they're just as despicable as he is. Just a guess, mind you.

There's no talking that crowd off any ledge. Best to let them jump to end up as street pizza and be done with it.

[BeastieRunner]

It's honestly sorta tough to do it justice with just words.

If I was to try, it would be something along the lines of "Man, that was wild. Eh?"

Okay ... so it was jsut some random guy? I thought you were referencing it was Alex Jones or Milo or something.

Ever notice how JBatman & ouroboros and the other Trumpkins aren't around when Fearless Leader has a huge setback, but show up when Democrats act stupid?

Cut thirty some slack. 30s been here giving his own view.

The rest are waiting for the talking points.

They're the Homefront generation, not the Millennials.

The current 18-21 year olds are uber conservative and have never known an America without a war.

You're seeing a generational shift in the young voting bloc.
