GOP is filled with morons

 

[superblytrife]

 

Purity tests aren't going to cut it in 2020.
Democrats need to throw out the best candidate to reach out to all demographics.

Im going to 

 if they put out Cory Booker

Co-sign.

Assured defeat if he's the guy.

If Hillary runs again...

 

[RustyShackleford]

When you guys say "they" I think you'll mean to say the Democratic Party's leaders

But in reality, "they" is the plurality (probably majority too) of Democratic primary voters.

 

[superblytrife]

No chance Hillary goes through all that again.  I think she knows her time is up, at least in that capacity.  

 

[RustyShackleford]

She isn't going to run again but so what if she does?

It's pretty obvious that Bannon, Miller, Priebus, Pence, and Ryan are pulling the strings for Trump

Trump isn't even in the mental capacity to manage the country and our foreign ties.

I think the only legitimate question is Trump in on this arrangement or are they truly distracting him so they can do the real work

Hillary cannot be allowed to run again

 

[frshstunna]

Hilary is done running , her time has passed

 

[whywesteppin]

I find it absurd that nearly every major candidate being considered is pushing 70.

The official @POTUS account just retweeted Trump’s attack on @Nordstrom. That’s a taxpayer funded account being used to benefit Trump’s kid.pic.twitter.com/vIUPxGze8X

Both.
Trump profits and gets attention while the rest can put out their agenda.

3 new executive orders coming up. Seems to be focused on creating a task force and beefing up existing law enforcement.

Don't we already have numerous law enforcement agencies that enforce the national law? The hell we need an extra task force for?

To purge the inner city hellholes of course

/sarcasm

But sadly that might really be the reason

One of the executive orders seeks to “define new federal crimes, and increase penalties for existing federal crimes, in order to prevent violence” against state and federal police.

Alec MacGillis ‏@AlecMacGillis 1h1 hour ago

So, to recap: @potus didn't know about Geneva Conventions on call w/ Merkel and didn't know about New START nuclear treaty on call w/ Putin.

 

[EddieDoyers]

This order is very vague

Belgian parliament debated today on legislation to cut off Saudi funding of Salafist mosques/preachers in our country.

Not sure how they intend to accomplish that but there was pretty much unanimous consent. They said it's time to move past the economic ties with Saudi Arabia and do something about their funding of hate speech throughout the country. Our national council of Imams pushed for such measures as well because they are reporting increasing difficulty fighting against radicalization while the Saudis pour tons of money into the spreading of Salafism.
