Sonic Youth Gossip - Is Trump really a serious contender for the Republican nomination?

It is happening, actually- I thought this assertion was biblebelterbabble but its april fools day every day now.

"the City Council in College Park approved the measure to allow undocumented immigrants, student visa holders and residents with green cards to vote in local elections,"

however

Voting rights granted to noncitizens in Takoma Park and San Francisco "are limited to local office, not a blanket right to vote for all governmental offices," said Lorraine Minnite, a political science professor at Rutgers University who wrote The Myth of Voter Fraud.

Local matters.

Trump isn't a politician so he doesn't know or have experience in keeping his cool under such microscopic and hyper criticism.

GOP is literally destroying themselves like the democrats did in the 1960s with Segregationists.. it will be fun to see them collapsed under the weight of their own bigotry and stupidity ;)

I'm sick. SICK I tell you. Why am I looking at the early parts of this thread? What am I getting from this exercise? I'm still trying to come to terms with how in the fuck Trump became POTUS. How did we go from there to here? Everyday I turn on the news and just fucking groan.

God help me.

The ostrich with his head in the sand isn't well aware of the lion sneaking up on him....

Turn on the news, keep working for change. (it works!)

skuj: this was the closest early prediction of them all.

I'm not saying ignore it completely, just don't subscribe to the constant, steady stream. Read in digests in short bursts. You'll be a lot less depressed throughout the day.

Skuj	03.18.2018 12:38 PM

Yeah, I really don't do news for hours per day, but what I see is horrifying. But I have to take that ex-CIA guy's words as solace: "America will triumph over Trump".

You mean John Brennan, the the CIA Director who oversaw the CIA hacking of the Senate's computers and was reading senator's emails?

Who in 2008 couldn't be CIA Director because of his involvement with torture under Bush, but he was sanitized under Obama.

If you own a cell phone, you are participating and have no right to complain.
