General Politics Discussion (II) [ARCHIVED] • Page 628

I'm not watching but I can feel that this gonna end poorly

 

Planet earth? fo sho

 

This was the perfect speech for him to make. But it's evil.

 

He said something against prejudice lol

 

So, Trump keeps doing that "ok" sign, and we all remember what it means on the schoolyard....

 

"We will be protected by god"

It's over

 

Yeah like we're not gonna be hypocrites idk why people expect otherwise. I wish he wasn't there.

Doesn't make his message less right. He's going hard both in Congress and on Twitter and I love it. Can't say the same for some Dems but OH WELL AMIRITE

 

I can't wait for the SNL sketch we're going to get from this

 

okay that last line (Detroit/Nebraska) makes me want to puke

 

Like... this speech is wayyyyy toooo long

 

Kate McKinnon does a significantly better Kellyanne than Hillary

 

He should swap america for 'my friends'

 

Yeah but she also lets Kellyanne off the hook a lot by talking like she's aware of the horror she helped bring about and regrets it. At least her Hillary is solid satire even if the actual impression isn't great.

 

Every time I remember this trend, it just reminds me that this election really wasn't about economics.

 

a little late to this discussion, but re: prayers @ government events and separation of church and state, it's worth mentioning that it's a common enough belief in right-leaning christian circles that "separation of church and state" is a made-up concept by liberals that's not actually in the constitution, or that the first amendment was really only meant for christianity and not any other religions

 

Length of Inaugural Addresses - The American Presidency Project


data nerd in me loves that clinton and bush basically had the same lengths for their respective first and second terms

 

Coworker: Happy Friday

Me: Not really

Coworker: Yeah...

 

Kate McKinnon can do no wrong in my book

 

What the shit, Harrison?

Edit: Harrison's speech is such a trainwreck hahaha. It includes this penultimate paragraph:

 

There's two republicans in my office who are being super smug today. "You know if you guys had won our side would have been far more respectful and tame"

... right, that's why the Tea Party came around and I saw all those "BARACK OSAMA" and "OBAMA=HITLER" posters and comments for eight years.

 

the only political comment i've heard at work today is the hot take of "the thing about Trump is...he said things just to get elected" (pause included)

 

Well, that's partially why he died a month into his term.

 

Who's gonna make the Jackie Evancho chorus thread
