Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Trump threatens to withhold funding to Obamacare if his Wall gets no funding.
This piece of crap is serious. He's going to seriously try to shut down the Government if he doesn't get his way.

Trump has the emotional response of a three year old. What does a three year old do when he doesn't get what he wants? Throw a tantrum.
Also The Trump Twitter archive is a great source for Trump tweets without having to follow him on twitter. It also catalouges them by key words and topics; such as "Fake News", the key to solving issues (spoiler: it's always himself), and who "doesn't have a clue".

Sean Hannity being accused of sexual harassment
Lawd first Bill and now Sean??? 🙌🙌
New Survey coming this weekend!Give how Fox News is it would not surprise me if most of the on-screen male employees engaged in some level of sexual harassment. It'll be interesting to see how far this goes, but I doubt it'll be the last we see of these guys (if they are indeed fired).
Reagan wasn't even that competent, he just happened to get lucky with Volker and the Soviets collapsing.

My only logical Conclusion so far has been a Be Careful What You Wish For, Deal with the Devil kind of thing - They won with Trump, and now they have to deal with the consequences of winning. This includes being exposed for being corrupt, weak, cowardly, vile, or any combination there of.
Trump's latest Tweets... he's back to Hillary and the popular vote again.
Dogs and bones come to mind.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.![]()

This is the one I find the most fascinating:
>at a later date
>will be
>in some form
"But it's totes happening guys!"
How anyone can actually believe shit like this is something I cannot even remotely comprehend.

Like a Nigerian prince who can give you money at a later date, but he needs is your bank account number.
Also can we say Trump is Chaotic Evil, and Pence is Lawful Evil? And just for fun, although he seems to have fallen out of Trump's good graces, I think Bannon would be Neutral Evil.
Edit: Although now that I think about it, Stupid Evil might be the better description for Trump.

I think that would be giving Trump too much credit. I think he's Chaotic Stupid or Stupid Evil. Or more probably, wavering between the two at whim.

This Space Intentionally Left Blank.

@Septimus Heap
Only way Trump would sign off on those would be if he was allowed to name them after him.
