I’d rather be in a position where we had to fight to get control of our country back from a neoconservative theocrat than fight for scraps of food in a post-nuclear wasteland.

Any mention of Seb L. v. Gorka cannot be complete without a revisiting of this chickenhawk’s sleek 'Stang:
It’s got everything:
- vanity ART [of] WAR license plates
- butch insignia for 3 military organizations to which he never belonged
- 4 American flags just from this angle
- a Nordic/Aryan cross
- Trump MAGA sticker
- deprecated T-going-through-P’s-Hole American flag sticker
But this is my favorite view of Gorka’s Mustang: him packing up and using it to transport his stuff after being unceremoniously thrown out of the White House.. Note the Twin Towers portrait in the front seat.

Trump Jr and Kushner meeting with Russians was “treasonous”
I’m sooo ready for the times we live in to not be ‘interesting’ anymore; please bring on some ‘boredom,’ stat.

No one said anything of the sort. (I can’t speak for @anon50609448’a thought process, but it seemed clear to me).
If all sides of a contest have adequate pedigrees and motivation and comparable levels of support, the absolute level of those attributes is irrelevant. Luck is what is left. When the #1 ranked football team plays #2, the outcome is the product of mostly luck. No one thinks that that says anything about either’s absolute (and very high) level of skill/dedication/effort, or that the local middle school team would have any chance whatsoever against either. What is it that you think makes political contests different?
There is nothing about any of this that makes me feel better.

As much I may enjoy a good dose of schadenfreude, (and I do) I won’t actually “feel better” until that ocherous fucker and all his ilk are no longer in power.

Trump’s approval ratings are in the toilet, and they didn’t have to be. If he is so smart, why doesn’t he do the very basic things that would get him re-elected? If he’s so smart, why is there a revolving door in his administration? If he’s so smart, why can’t he focus? There are about a dozen things I can think of off the top of my head that demonstrate he’s not very smart. “Two Corinthians”? “Covfefe”? “Fucking moron”?

The FBI has indicted/secures plea deals from multiple people in the campaign, including the guy who ran it for a significant bit. It’s not like they’ve been up to nothing, and for goodness’ sake, 2018 promises to be even more interesting.

Great. Since the Orange Goblin has become president, I’ve found myself agreeing with some things said by Kim Jong Un, Rupert Murdoch, George W Bush, and now Steve Bannon.
What the fuck is this world coming to?

Much of centrist Twitter is loudly proclaiming those three points, unfortunately. Hubris is vigorously resistant to experience.
Because his cronies control the electoral process.
You don’t have to be popular when you’re the one counting the votes.

Do US lawyers really go to those sort of meetings for clients? I thought that was just the kind of ‘lawyer’ who acts as consigliere for the mafia.
That’s what political advisers and interns are for.
Come to think of it, that’s what people like Bannon are for. Maybe that’s why he’s annoyed? Jealous that there were these secret meetings without him?

I think my favorite part is how he’s got American flag stickers with the stars facing the rear of the car. Traditionally you mount mirrored flags on the right-hand side of something that moves so that the stars face forward because otherwise it might look like it’s retreating and that’s apparently important in any way at all.
Jeez, I’m a dirty anti-authoritarian commie who thinks the entire concept of nations and flags (well, what they represent in contexts like this) is pretty dubious and even I know that.

Well that at least ties for 1st place the worst vanity plate I’ve seen. The contender (also in VA) is “2 RCH 4U” spotted on an Acura NSX.
Best vanity plates:
“V1 V2 RT8” (again in VA)
“II V I”

Fair point. I was only intending to say that as far as I could tell, no one has said that here, in this discussion. I make no claims about what people say on twitter.
