monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

I agree with osso, I don't know what is worse or better, impeaching Trump with Pence waiting in the wings or just letting him keep on doing what he is doing. For the most part, I haven't seen any distance between Trump and Pence.

Theres the weirdness of it all. Even the GOP abandoned Nixon, here we have a demagogue in training and theyre printing up bumper stickers and team tee shirts with his fatass on em

I often feel more contented when living under an opposition regime because I don't get worn out trying to defend and explain away the stupid actions of the party or president in power.

A centre-left politician who once characterised Donald Trump as a “hate preacher” has been elected president of Germany. The former foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier was voted in on Sunday by a parliamentary assembly made up of 1,260 MPs and representatives of Germany’s 16 states.

Steinmeier, a member of the Social Democratic party, had guaranteed the support both of his own centre-left bloc and Angela Merkel’s centre-right Christian Democratic party, who between them hold a majority of 923 seats in the assembly.

The Republicans are going to hold the White House for at least the next 20 years.

Why try to defend or explain away stupid stuff to begin with?

A proclamation by Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin inviting Christians to pray for the oil and natural gas industry will be amended to be more inclusive of other faiths, the governor said Monday.

Gohmert, who was guest hosting the “Point of View” radio show, interviewed conservative activist and “Reaganbook” founder Janet Porter about her anti-LGBT film “Light Wins,” which featured appearances from Gohmert and other prominent Republicans such as Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee.

The congressman quoted a portion of the movie in which Porter, who believes that same-sex marriage caused Noah’s Flood, alleges that the only time in history besides today “where homosexual unions were authorized as marriage was in the ‘Days of Noah.’”

“We know homosexuality was widespread in Greece and Rome and Babylon and especially in Sodom and Gomorrah but that’s a little scary that it wasn’t legal except before the flood,” Gohmert commented.

Porter responded that this statement “tells you where we are in the overall timeline—“

“Does it ever,” Gohmert interjected.

I really doubt that this will turn out to be the case, unless the GOP makes inroads into the non-white electorate — which could alienate other constituencies within the party — or manages to beat the odds on entropy, cultural changes, or natural disaster. The US tends to blame, rightly or wrongly, the president in power for everything that happens — an ebola epidemic, a disappointing Olympics, or an asteroid strike and it's "Throw the bums out!"
