Trump/Russia Thursday

[sparrowsong]

Please tell me there is a version where he continues to the right, gets a sad face and then ends up in an orange jumpsuit, leaving Obama still smiling behind him.

[mbcdefg]

Lol, he wishes.

Turd.

[mbcdefg]

Hahaha

[secretlyevil]

I saw a meme that was the opposite. Was it on here? FB maybe? I dunno but light of the fact that a) it was a solar eclipse Monday and b) Obama has more oomph in his little pinky than Orange Dundehead in his whole body any day of week...Imma goin' to have to say fail, so not pass go, into jail you go.

[sparrowsong]

At one point I feared this but it seems unlikely now, yes? His popularity ratings are so low... did it even drop below 30 aftercharrlotesville? I don't think I ever saw those numbers. I know there are enough individual crazies out there. But an organized movement if he's impeached? Seems unlikely now. Especially if establishment GOP rally behind pence.

[OscarQ]

I get alerts when he tweets and thought he was on an insane rant this morning.

Nope, idiot just couldn't spell.

I think it is extremely likely that Trump's supporters would take up arms against the government if he is impeached, unfortunately. Trump has been promoting violence, and his die hard supporters will never believe he's an unstable, unqualified bigot. Remember, 30% of voters is millions of people. I don't think there will be a civil war, but there will likely be a lot of violence.

Millions of people with tens of millions of firearms.

This Chris Ladd piece from last year has stuck with me.

If you don't want to read the whole thing, scroll down to "how is this era of relative calm likely to be broken?" Then take a xanax.

John Kelly’s Latest Mission: Controlling the Information Flow to Trump

mobile.nytimes.com/2017/08/24/us/politics/trump-white-house-kelly-memos.html?_r=0&referer=https://t.co/8YGWXqv8wF

On Mr. Kelly’s first day on the job, he held a small meeting with top aides to the president after a fuller staff meeting. He told them that Oval Office access to Mr. Trump, which was once nearly universal to people coming through the West Wing, would be strictly limited to appointments only.

The exceptions, Mr. Kelly said, were the president’s wife and his 11-year-old son. And, he added, turning to Ivanka Trump, who was seated near him, the president’s eldest daughter, if she was speaking to him as a daughter and not a member of his staff. Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump quickly gave in to Mr. Kelly’s new system, two White House officials said.

Hahaha ... fuck off, Eric and Junior.

(It's also amusing me to no end that I mistyped "off" and it somehow autocorrected to "KFC.")

Eclipses are brief, though. Does that mean Obama is coming back soon!?

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

I honestly don't think they will take up arms if he is impeached (plus, they obviously slept through the 90s...impeachment does not mean what they think it means). The crazies will, but the run of the mill racist crazy assholes will be thrilled because Pence and they will say all along that that is what they wanted.

Right? 
Examining the metaphor: so he "eclipses" the "sun," but it's temporary.  He only stays put for an extremely short period of time, compared to the amount of time the sun is in the sky. So sure, while he's there, it plunges us into darkness, but then he leaves, and the light returns, and you *can't even see him anymore.*

I'm going to take this to mean that we're approaching the moment of totality, and shit's about to get REAL dark, and all our mouths are going to hang open from being completely speechless at what we see happening.  But then he's going to go away, and disappear from public view.  

BEST METAPHOR EVER!  Thank's Dumpster Supporter who made this meme/45 for retweeting!

[meshaliuknits]

Right? I don't think that was thought through.

anyone watching Maddow?

She is going over this story. One the people in the June meeting had connections to Russia/Russian intelligence and experience with setting up computer hacking schemes.

Don't forget violence against media reporters. GMA's Cecilia recorded the audience response when Trump yelled about "fake news" in Phoenix and she said it's only a matter of time.
