Melania Trump’s New ‘Let’s Move’ Initiative Sounds Pretty Cool

It's so much better to live in a world where we don't inspect Iran, and we now punish them for.....er.....something, and they will do as they please from now on.

Trumpists in this thread, please show me the errors in my thinking.

(I love the constant lie about Obama sending billions to Iran. Trump keeps repeating this, and I suppose his followers will do no research on the matter?)

This whole thing makes me fucking ill.

The US helped the religious fanatics overthrow the Shah of Iran by arming them to the teeth.

Yeah, another great Rethug move. Oliver North...Ronald Reagan...I wish the US would, as they say in Letterkenny, “figure it out”

Congratulations to Mike Dewine on his big win in the Great State of Ohio. He will be a great Governor with a heavy focus on HealthCare and Jobs. His Socialist opponent in November should not do well, a big failure in last job!


Hahahahahha!

"I know Cordray isn't progressive but he's better than DeWine so support him anyway."

This is what I've said or typed about a hundred times today to progressive activists. Socialist? I fucking wish. Richard Cordray (D) is a very boring middle of the road wuss. The challenge will be getting Dems to actually vote for him.

I'm starting to think Trump is not always accurate in his statements.

Also, it is DeWine and not Dewine. Also, he sucks a lot, but particularly with healthcare and jobs. Jesus, what a fucking idiot.

KSM would like to give written testimony on Haspel....any chance, you 'spose?

a bit hopeless to ask for dialogue in a place where people come to either vomit their ill feelings or rationalize their biases, but good luck with that, brother.

well of course. i don’t know what to tell you, except, at a personal level, try to protect your sanity.

you know james joyce’s/kinch the knifeblade’s famous “history is a nightmare from which i’m trying to awake” quote? well this is precisely what he meant. this.

but seriously. one has to be ready to go. not talking about the rapture or being eaten by reptilian fluoride soros ha ha ha. just leave this bullshit behind. and by that i mean the desperation.

i’m on the fence between the epicureans and the stoics. the epicureans recommended withdrawal from the world, but what do you do when the world comes to kick your door down? enter the stoics, who engaged, but from a place of non-attachment and imperturbability.

what else can i tell you? i’m not gonna repeat to you that the world has gone mad. yeats wrote a poem about that 100 years ago and shit has not let on (though some say as horrors go our century ranks low—though i’d say it ain’t over yet). no use no commiserating about that. the question is how to address and how to adapt. better people than us have already tried answering so i’d start there.

The best move for Iran now would be to ditch Khamenei's bullcrap about "pulling out too" (let Rouhani deal with that guy) and send Zarif to Brussels, London, Paris, Berlin and Beijing to present a united (and smiling!) front: as with the Climate Change agreement (actually, the JCPOA is better than that one), everybody but the U.S. sticks with the deal and Trump can go fuck himself while playing Bibi's CDs.

Trump got nearly everything wrong in a single tweet, including the proper spelling of the dude he was advocating for. If my face was straight, it needs slapped.

I'm really done with national politics. I guess it's "exciting," but aren't you all sick of horrible shit you really can't do anything about? I've tuned out. I'm staying local where my voice actually might matter.

Lemme know if Stormy brings him down or if Mueller cuffs him. Until then, it's all distraction.

ilduclo 05.09.2018 06:19 PM

Damn, really unhappy with Schneiderman, we also have a really long term advocate for the poor and immigrants here in Oregon who’s just been arrested for sex abuse of some underaged person. I really wish that Democrats and progressives who have that kind of issue would just hurry up, get a decent replacement in hand and then GTFO.

My country actually has net neutrality already, but Jesus Christ Monkeyballs you guys should do something about the fucking mess you got over there...

evollove 05.09.2018 08:49 PM

Sen. Rob Portman is on the fence with net neutrality. Calls are best, but if that's not feasible, write him an email. Seriously, on some issues, some representatives are responsive to constituent feedback. (On some issues of course, they don't give a fuck what you think.)

Oh yeah. You might have to lie and say you're from Ohio.

The Americans are home and this is a good thing!

Skuj 05.10.2018 03:27 PM

So....how's that whole pulling out of the Iran Deal working out then?

Netanyahu going to do a new powerpoint soon?

ilduclo 05.10.2018 06:04 PM

that's a karaoke performance, man, not a powerpoint. Or was it kabuki? noh?
