With all the military guys and Trump family members in place, the administration is beginning to have a faintly South American flavor to it. So I guess we can all look forward to better empanadas and also the collapse of Western civilization.
You know what’s the funniest thing about all this? The funniest thing is that it’s still better than having the Democrats in power! Like, a lot better. We now know the Obama administration was spying on just about everybody. The Hillary gang seem to have been the ones really colluding with Putin. The Senate minority leader has given up on capitalism. And the former head of the DNC has been doing God-knows-what with a Pakistani IT guy who just got arrested trying to blow the country!
So while the stupid party is reaching Ultimate Stupid, the evil party has been pushing the needle toward Satanic.
“B-b-but Hillary! Emails!”
Pathetic. And the USG is still spying on everybody, and Trump Jr still met with a rep of the Russian government.
it’s fun sitting on the sidelines where it’s safe and sniping away…trump has been under attack since the beginning of the campaign. how would cruz do? marco? walker? and gasp, jeb?
But you didn’t have a problem when Obama did it.
And…, in other news.
When Kim Jong Youngun from NORK Nuts Korea fires a Nuclear Tipped Missile it will wander off course from New York and hit Toronto Canada.
“Hold on to your lug nuts boys, its time for an overhaul.”
With the NOKS threatening Asia & America… I will feel more comfortable with Kelly as chief of Staff.. No Hair-on-fire twits creating unnecessary fear & rushing to WAR.. Competence is desirable
UnMe.. What is it you don’t Understand about the US Constitution, anyone may meet with a Russian,or many Russians and to suggest otherwise is not-American…You must be Russian, or from a EU Country
I think you miss the author’s point entirely. Trump was the first choice of a very small percentage of the GOP. He won and he’s far better than HRC. But that’s not saying much and the trump presidency so far has been an ineffectual chaotic mess – very much in the mould of Donald trump himself.
The 80s called, they want their Soviet paranoia back!
The funniest thing is that it’s still better than having the Democrats in power! Like, a lot better.
Hey Andrew! It’s ALSO still BETTER than having the weak and feckless GOPe in power! The weak and feckless (nay … outright liberal) GOPe. Who cannot even pass a “skinny” repeal of a TAX on hardworking Americans that is KILLING family $ resources and relegating them to VA-esqe slowwwww medical treatment … when they can even find a medical insurer in their neighborhood.
YOU may find Trump’s “militaristic” cabinet “funny” and entertaining … but the true entertainment value is in the Senate and House … where so-called “conservatives” like Ryan and McConnell … call TRUE conservatives in the Freedom caucus … “disloyal”. Disloyal for refusing to “compromise” and acquiesce to a crap-sandwich Obamakkare-light.
Go Trump! Go Gen. Kelly! Go Mooch! Kick ass, take names … and keep doing EXACTLY what Inhad hoped-for with my vote. I LOVE the job you’re doing … and am fully aware of the headwinds you are facing … from both sides of the aisle. Not to worry … your people … the REAL conservatives in this country have got your back. We are the people who get our hands dirty for a living and are not the least bit bothered when yours get a little soiled too. Mucking out the swamp IS dirty business. Keep on mucking … keep on trucking!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why listen to the NeverTrumpers? They haven’t been right about anything over the past year and a half; and haven’t won a fight since Newt’s days.
Yes I did stop projecting your tribalism onto me. You’re the hypocrite tribe member, not me.
“why listen to the NeverTrumpers? They haven’t been right about anything over the past year and a half”
Actually they’ve been completely right about Trump as president: a bloviating mess and a failure.
Don’t feed the troll, guys.
He’s just trying to impress Debbie Whats-her-name Schultz.
He thinks he’s got a shot at her now that her latest boy toy’s been arrested.
You don’t know what you are talking about
49 if 52 senators voted for the repeal bill. And probably 46-47 would have voted for far stronger legislation. Condemning the entire GOP for the actions of a very small segment is what lefties and other intolerant people do.
The Trump presidency has been an ineffectual mess because half of Washington and most of the press have been trying to sabotage it.
The Obama presidency ended up being an ineffectual mess. Health care, Iran, climate change, ending fracking, stopping the pipelines, reducing coal exports, the EPA, the war on ISIS (which seems to have taken a measurable turn since Trump arrived in DC). His entire platform is unravelling.
The GOP had seven years to come up with a strategy and they failed miserably. They are useless.
“The Trump presidency has been an ineffectual mess because half of Washington and most of the press have been trying to sabotage it.”
Conservative persecution complex strikes again.
And Newt is fully on-board with Trump …
And yet there you are flying the barely conservative flag hi and mighty. Next you’ll be telling us that we should salute the Kenney and Jean flag because those few that ruined Team Blue no longer apply because Unity.
Wait, you’re already there. My bad.
Many of trumps wounds have been self-inflicted.
And there is no excuse for not even nominating 110 lower court judges and hundreds of positions in various departments.
He did not make one speech on getting rid of Obamacare and was bascically absent from the discussions due.no doubt that he understood very little of it.
Yes ! The more you call Trump a “failure” … the MORE I know he is succeeding! I’ll start worrying when you praise MY president. For now … he is the most successful POTUS since RR.
… unless, of course you’ve made a “career” out of the EPA, global warming, or any other FAKE eco-cause
What are you talking about? Thx m price has a plan that 40 plus senators and about 90% of GOP congressmen would sign tomorrow it is a very small minority on the right and left of the party that were reluctant to. You are condemning the entire party for the actions of a few. Should I condemn you – a libertarian for the actions of rand paul?
You really like to tell other people what you think they don’t know … and FAIL to provide any evidence of your imaginary superior knowledge. You sound very insecure. You sound somewhat unstable. You sound like a … liberal
For the record i and was never a member of ab pc party or the federal pc party.
Jason Kenney is ancinservatives conservative- that you don’t know that tells me you have never actively followed the activities of the cpc. I doubt you have ever been an active participant in the Canadian politic – content to heckle from the sidelines. That you are irrelevant is by your choice.
What’s a Thx M price? Is this the AHCA? Because that was just Obamacare redux.
What you don’t seem to understand is that part of the GOP’s job is coming up with a strategy that enough people can get on board with. They didn’t: http://reason.com/blog/2017/07/28/on-obamacare-republicans-achieved-nothin
It won’t get better. Trump is where he is because the GOP is dysfunctional, and there’s really no reason to believe it’s going to get better.
“Jason Kenney is ancinservatives conservative”
Again, if that piece of crap is an arch-conservative then all the more reason to run from that label. Kenney was great at reaching out to immigrant communities and terrible in government. His only accomplishment was to enforce hate-speech laws at the border. Before that he was a moral busy body who opposed gay marriage. Pretty sure he’ll be all aboard the sinking SS Drug War too. Simply unfit for the 21st ce. Stick with Jean if you can’t do better, and you probably can’t.
You know, if I go over to left-leaning comment sections it’s to sharpen my argument and at least hope to give someone something to ponder. So why are you here?
Nice try. I state facts – and have the backup if you need it. Do cite the items that you contest.
I agree with your comments Steve from Rockwood mainly because you have brought up the very difficult task POTUS #45 has completed so far.
There is no reluctance to trying an Individual Such as Reince Priebus if the advisors advised DJT Priebus could bring the Special Interest Republican Elites closer to DJT’s agenda. He did and DJT used His above average Skill with People and Experience of dealing with POS New York Politicos-mostly Democrat-to clear out the rapidly decaying Executive Orders from the either Feckless Obama or Follower Obama to another Country/Religiuos agenda.
His awareness and use of Current communications-Twitter- Matches FDR current at the Time communication-Radio-. Similar to Abraham Lincoln’s use of the Telegraph by-being-constantly-present. Abe never relied on receiving some bureaucrat’s interpretation of the “shorthand-version telegram message”.
FDR kept the sleazy news such as The New York Slime & Wash Poo through skilful use of the Radio.
DJT skilfully used His Airplane to campaign & news worthy pronouncements for Daily Media Coverage. If Murdoch had not provided FOX NEWS—DJT– wold have established another means.
I used to pay close attention to Good Tulk’s comments. Not so much anymore. Maybe Mr. Tulk believes in the self-serving media about Not Presidential or cringing every time DJT changes the Smear agenda just after the Frightened Smeareidia has finished reading the Democrat Daily Talking Points and communicated the planned Smear message against Trump for Tomorrow/next Hour/current Minute
Anyway maybe Mr. Tulk has come to the conclusion Mr.Trump is in Gord’s Justin Thinking Trudopey.
You’re entitled to your bubble, and Tulk and I are entitled to call you out on it. There is nothing skillful about Turmp’s Twitterspasms. They basically just vindicate all the negative predictions made about him. It also doesn’t fill those lower court vacancies.
Scaramucci, who quickly proves himself to be the only New York Italian nicknamed “Mooch” who is too disorganized for organized crime.
I’ve always enjoyed Klavan but the PJM is no longer on my list of daily visits because it is establishment cuck.
Tribalism?

Gord, ewe a progressive, or just stupid????
No, I’m referring to our back-and-forth the other day in which you stated as you did here “Kenney is a conservative’s conservative” to which, again, I say that if that’s the case, there’s a reason why it’s dead. Kenney and his right hand Harper had a full majority for 5 years and did nothing but lower taxes and take trips to/host Israel. No gun rights, no personal freedom increase, no beat down of the leftist agenda.
Now you want him and/or Jean to be running what is now Canada’s most financially successful province… why, exactly? He’s a member of the ruling elite party: “If we do just enough to get elected, we’ll try to do exactly that again.” I want a man who stands up like Trump and says “No more, no further, stops here.” I was right on Trump, you weren’t.
” I want a man who stands up like Trump and says “No more, no further, stops here.””
You want to be pandered to. Trump isn’t stopping jack. He’s part and parcel of the establishment you pretend to abhor but have no understanding of.
That’s pretty interesting considering he’s drawn back much of the EPA already just to start.
There are still 3 1/2 years to go of Trump and a raft of GOPe that need to be primaried. Just wait, sugar tits, the best is yet to come.
“he’s drawn back much of the EPA already”
He’s made some executive orders. BFD. These are nip and tucks of the EPA that you are wildly exaggerating.
“a raft of GOPe that need to be primaried.”
Not happening. Paul Ryan already got challenged by some Trumpanzee degenerate and Ryan crushed him. Trump is an aberration that will fade into history. On the bright side he might kill the GOP.
That’s nonsense. The lawyer was not Rep of the Russian government.
I am hoping for a Pinochet-style coup d’etat. Pinochet cleaned up Chile and set it back on a path to prosperity and freedom. Several thousand Progressives/Communists had to “disappear,” but so be it.
when western civilization collapses it will not be because of Trump. those of us who have been around for over seventy years will know why, but very few others.
