If he drops from around 40 points of support (the higher level of current polls) down to 30, they will bail on him.

So if I commit a crime, can I just say I’m following “alternative laws”? Wait, I better not give them any ideas.
Already a thing called “I’m a victim of affluenza”.

I’m guessing he’ll switch to what all “strong leaders” do and once a month there will be a loud siren and we’ll all be required to go inside and tune into channel government for our reeducation. Government straight to the people through the lens of the government, no fact checking, no outside opinions.
yeah, this is the core of the “fake news”/“post truth” problem. the very idea of “alternative facts” is just so…smdh. how can anyone say such a thing without either great shame or great ignorance is beyond me, so i’ll have to assume the latter.

That “coat” was Gucci.
The above statement is actual fact, but does not imply my endorsement of either Conway nor Gucci.
Both are trash, as far as I can tell.

Everything is working as it should, if you are the power elite. Two groups fighting each other is the best distraction.

You know that if you want the hashtag to appear and not just make a headline, you need a space first?

Did Obama steal all the light bulbs in the White House? Why don’t they just replace them instead of resorting to gaslighting?

Harsh. But perhaps Gucci has a special department for making special stuff for people who have…unusual tastes. In which case they’re just being ironic.
In an alternative universe with other alternative facts, someone like Trump shouted very loudly that a U S President was born in Kenya and wasn’t eligible, and that President simply ignored him, demonstrating the dignity of office. But that couldn’t happen in our new, Twitter-fueled alternative fact era.
(Perhaps Trump could learn from his wife? She at least seems to do a degree of politeness and dignity even if she doesn’t always get it quite right.)

If they’re smart and subtle about it they can subvert the press, but if the last couple days are any indication, they have no clue how obvious they’re being. Currently “alternative facts” is in the headline of every major news outlet’s website, except Fox. The risk has always been that the media trade loyalty for access, but that backfires if the administration’s increasingly ridiculous behavior becomes the story; if Apprentice turns into Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Trump himself is so easily needled that he’s likely to spend as much time defending his failures as he will governing, and people will eventually get tired of listening to his tantrums.
