There was a bit Conan used to do where he'd show dozens of local newscasts doing the exact same story, with the exact same intros and almost the exact same inflections for each. Is this why?

GOP is in the midst of abandon ship mode? 39 GOP politicians are retiring, some suddenly

The people who want to replace Ryan as Speaker of the House will be worse than he ever was, so it's imperative that the Democrats win the House to prevent that from happening.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Either way, it seems to be resulting in Trump becoming unhinged even faster. What a crazy last three days with Cohen being under criminal investigation, Comey releasing his book, and now the DOJ releasing their report.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Comey is odd because first he was championed by Trump for giving Clinton toxic publicity right before Election Day, but now that he is belittling Trump, he is a slime ball? Yet the right wingers who defended him previously are now lashing out against him and the FBI yet we are not suppose to see any bias in any udvthis? God we are so divided without any objective logic

Yeah things are pretty nuts in DC, not sure what to expect. Trump could go nuts and repeat Nixon's mistake with another Saturday night massacre.

To Caius’ point though, seems like the left wing media likes to blow the whistle on the wolf a lot, thus when a wolf actually appears...

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
Trump always, and I mean always, has a relevant tweet from the past:
“Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.” “We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.” “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” “You have to pretend you get an endgame.

I am worried how Russia responds. I am sure they aren't happy.

We'll see. I am conflicted here. Russia knew this was coming. Russia needs to be very careful with whatever their response is. Anything aggressive will be massively condemned.
Russia's threat to defend Syria and shoot down missiles didn't pan out, so we'll have to see where this goes.

Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
It didn't accomplish anything other than destroy some buildings and maybe some of their chemical weapons. To change Syria would take a regime change which is impossible right now.
Re: The Trump Era: The Awkward Mix of Libertarianism and Fas
I think bashing the term "mission accomplished" is unneeded, obviously Trump is a hack, but if the mission was to send a message, they as required.
Change Syria is impossible indeed, tbh I don't understand anything of the whole war, but it certainly is a humanitarian crisis which I have little doubt is created by rich men wanting to be richer.
