Trumps tariffs are hurting the farmers.

Solution, let's spend $12 Billion in further subsidies to help them.

Winning.

Sounds like welfare to me. Let's wait for the Trumpites to tell us why this isn't.

Obviously it is welfare. Aren't you guys in favour of welfare, or does your dislike for business and farmers in general, override that?

4D chess, you probably won't get it.

Conservative poster boy doing what he does best: being retarded.

Alex Jones Threatens to Shoot 'Pedophile' Robert Mueller, Accuses Zuckerberg of Facebook 'Shadow Ban': https://www.newsweek.com/alex-jones...ile-robert-mueller-accuses-zuckerberg-1038500 (warning, autoplaying video of Alex Jones may cause cancer and/or brain damage)

Infowars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ramped up threats against special counsel Robert Mueller on Monday, calling him a "monster" and described shooting the former FBI Director.

Jones' nearly 3-hour July 23 InfoWars broadcast ranged from rants about Hollywood pedophilia to social media "shadow bans" to outlandish allegations Mueller was personally involved in a child sex ring composed of left-leaning political figures.

The InfoWars host went on to illustrate a "real world" threat against the former Marine Corps officer and Vietnam War veteran currently in charge of the Russian interference investigation of the 2016 presidential election.

Jones can make whatever threats he wants, yet somehow he's not in jail where he belongs.

Well he wouldn't be a very good poster boy if he wasn't being retarded.

Msnbc = fake news

Thats unusually woke from you this morning rietrot.

Indeed, Rachel quoting directly and accurately from the White House issued transcripts... which lie... Show the transcripts *from* the White House's own media staff are, in fact, fake news.

Well played.

Pretty good write up of the facts here.

Why I’m No Longer a Russiagate Skeptic

Facts are piling up, and it’s getting harder to deny what’s staring us in the face.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Somewhere close to peak conservative media.

Run an opinion piece about how great Sean Spicer is... written by Sean Spicer. Almost as sad as when Ben Shapiro had his dad write about how great Ben is under a pseudonym.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Extremely good.

Police arrested Stormy Daniels on a pretense to intimidate her, then egregiously lie about it afterwards.

Whistleblower provides emails that show Stormy Daniels' arrest was pre-planned

Not politics but someone hit the $522 million dollar lotto.

Emails suggest Republicans gerrymandered Michigan to weaken ‘Dem garbage’

Emails have emerged in a federal lawsuit that suggest Republicans gerrymandered congressional districts in Michigan in 2011 to maintain an advantage over Democrats, despite years of claims the lines are drawn without political bias.

The lawsuit references private emails that allegedly show one Republican aide saying a Macomb County district is shaped like “it’s giving the finger to (Democratic U.S. Rep.) sandy levin. I love it.” Another email from a GOP staffer was said to brag about cramming “Dem garbage” into four southeast Michigan congressional districts.

In a third email, a longtime Michigan Chamber of Commerce executive predicts the maps will keep Republicans in power for years — and implies the 4th Congressional District in the central Lower Peninsula was drawn to the wishes of Dave Camp, a longtime Republican congressman from Midland who has since retired.

“We will accommodate whatever Dave wants in his district,” wrote Robert LaBrant, who has since left the Michigan Chamber and is now a GOP consultant, on May 18, 2011, to two Republican consultants and a Camp staffer. “We’ve spent a lot of time providing options to ensure we have a solid 9-5 delegation in 2012 and beyond.”

With Zero Sense of Irony, House Republicans Move to Impeach Rod Rosenstein, Who Oversees the Russia Investigation

It’s not just the faux oversight that’s been conducted in bad faith, the move to impeach is ethically bankrupt in equal measure. To impeach Rosenstein “high crimes and misdemeanors,” which would mark the first time an executive branch official was impeached in more than 140 years ago, a majority of the House, which Republicans control, would need to approve the measure. That alone will be an impossibly tall order. To then actually remove Rosenstein from office, two-thirds of the Senate would need to vote to do so. The chance of that happening is close to zero. So why the articles of impeachment? It’s hard to say exactly what the game plan is for Trump’s congressional minions, but it’s like an alley-oop for the president who will use it to make the case that everyone’s guilty, so he can’t possibly be

Hopefully they get enough support to impeach this swamp donkey.
