If McConnell nukes the filibuster it could backfire...bigly

Democrats only would need to pick up three seats to conduct trials for Trump officials. I know McCain and Graham have been all talk, but I believe they'll come around once it becomes a sure thing. Then all we need is a third, and with the rate Trump is going, a senator in a hotly contested area up for reelection will certainly defect.

If Trump gave the order to strike NK right now...

do you think anybody would actual properly relay that order to the appropriate officials, or do you think they'll pull the same shit Trump pulled when Merkel asked for a handshake?

Seems like a lot of attackers are using vehicles to mow down crowds as of late...

*cough*self-driving cars*cough*mandatory automated braking*cough*humans shouldn't have complete control over 2 tons of speeding metal*cough*

This stuff would prevent more deaths (accidental or otherwise) than outright banning guns.

What's South Korean media looking like right now?

Are they telling Trump to shut the fuck up or what?

Does the secret service sweep for bugs routinely at places like Mar-E-Lago?

I can only imagine how easy it would be for foreign government agents to pay the $200,000 membership fee and just walk around installing listening devices during the week.

Soon the MSM is gonna do a report on cannibalistic serial killers and bring on a guy saying

"cannibalism is actually good" just so they don't "come across as biased".

I'm tired of token Trump shills being trod out to argue against facts and morality that were at one time indisputable and bipartisan.

Have the press asked Trump why he keeps taking weekends off to go golfing?

I know it's pretty far down on the list of the "I'm grossly incompetent and/or paid by Russians" factors, but I feel like it would make him the angriest. It's really irrefutable hypocrisy.

Reporters should start printing out giant blowups of his tweets like Bernie Sanders did and bringing them to pressers.

Bill Maher: "as long as it's not a witch hunt" Muslims should feel a collective responsibility

He likened it to how he would feel if the Irish terrorism of the 80s came to America and he was put under heightened scrutiny.

Disregarding the skin color issue (which IS an issue), I feel that Bill doesn't realize that if the left lets the rope slip for even a second, that's just what we'll have, a witch hunt.
We've already seen it with the Sikh man shot in the arm and the Indian man shot dead in Kansas.
