Did she vote yes on Mattis?

 

Yep, so did Bernie.

 

Torture's fine. This is fine.

 

They mention in the first 30 minutes an interview with a former republican from another publication saying the plan is basically to go along with it and then blame it on him and impeach.

 

umm excuse me that's "Enhanced Interrogation"

 

You mean "Alternative Talking." Period.

I swear to god I often think Trump will either resign or be forced out by republicans. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, because I hate the idea of listening to him for four years.

 

Go Falcons.

 

This reminded me, what happened to Tom Arnold and the tapes?

 

Well, for how long? At this rate, we'll be dead by Christmas.

 

Unfortunately it will destroy a shitload of things in the process and somehow make the republicans less disgusting though... at least at first. Yuck.

 

Ugggggh cute stories about the sideshow. Bread and circuses. Fuck.

 

Is it just me or is this gross?

 

Well that makes sense since the war will be on during that time. I have decided as long as it's something peaceful where I just don't wake up or I faint somewhere with a nice atmosphere while I take in a beautiful atmosphere.

 

Inappropriate.

 

Poor grammar aside, I did like this quote from the Uproxx article:

 

I'd love if CA rallies around it too considering it will also effect them.

 

Mattis doesn't support torture. In fact, isn't he the guy that apparently got Trump to rethink his position on torture?

 

I wish men would go extinct.

 

Fantastic article on Trump:

"Trump’s is not so much a “project for the new American century” as a project for a retrenchmentist, protectionist, short-termist American capitalism: bad capitalism, savage capitalism, chaos capitalism. American carnage. What is striking about his project, then, is how central rhetoric is to its objectives. It’s often been said of Trump that one should pay attention not to what he says, but to what he does. But this is a misunderstanding. What he says is instrumental to what he does....It is a testament not just to Trump’s narrow-if-effective repertoire of bombast and grandiosity, but to the potential glamour, for millions of people on the downswing of their lives, of far-right discourse and its promise of power and restoration. That is the truly dangerous side of Trump’s rhetoric. And it’s what is missed in the gotchas and demolition jobs on his incoherence and poor grammar."
