I don't really know what this means but people are getting riled up about it. Can anyone figure it out?
Black and Latinx populations are also overrepresented in the military, but ol' Butterguts isn't talking about them too in that comment, I see.
I had too image search "butternuts" out of sheer morbid curiosity.
Was a lot less disturbing than anticipated. Mostly just lots of cross sections of butternut squash and brown car interiors.
Kirsten is older than you or Lizzo is?I'm going to donate so we can discuss whatever a Lizzo is.
Shut up, I'm old.
(She's older than me though!)
Over the last few weeks, Mr. Giuliani has spoken on the phone and held an in-person meeting, in Madrid, with a top representative of the new Ukrainian president, encouraging his government to ramp up investigations into two matters of intense interest to Mr. Trump.
One is whether Ukrainian officials took steps during the 2016 election to damage Mr. Trump's campaign. The other is whether there was anything improper about the overlap between former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s diplomatic efforts in Ukraine and his son's role with a gas company there.
Mr. Giuliani said he was acting on his own as a private citizen, with the knowledge and assistance of the State Department. He would not say whether Mr. Trump approved — or is aware of — the effort.
Seems alright to me
I think Trump has a weird habit of just doing free association with any question he has no fucking clue on (most of them). Just picks out a word in it and riffs on it.
He's like a terrible improv guy.
He's an awful speaker which I guess he could improve. If the Republicans put up a charismatic, good looking man, it's time to flee the country though.Hot take here.
I feel like Dan Crenshaw presidential talk reminds me of how people thought Scott Walker would've been a great presidential candidate in 2016. Feels like a complete paper tiger to me.
Even Hillary knows, just saying
Well, it'd probably feel a bit out of place in a radio ad about his policy proposals for rural America, airing in rural Iowa.

I know the odds of this happening again are merely 50%... so why does it actually feel like a 99.9% certainty?
When you have the right judges stationed in the right places, accountability is an inconvenience that can be handwaved away.I'm so fucking tired of hearing about how it's seemingly impossible to have standing to hold anyone in power accountable.

The communication between the chancellor and the U.S. president has been scaled back to a minimum. Whereas Merkel at times spoke with Trump predecessor Barack Obama once a week, contact with Trump has been extremely sparse. "Spontaneous phone calls are not a part of their relationship," says one U.S. diplomat. They often go for several months without speaking to each other.
Soon after, pretty much anyone with a reputation to lose began keeping their distance from Grenell. No U.S. ambassador in recent German history seems to have been so isolated. On the American side, people have noticed that Merkel's people are constantly trying to organize panel discussions with American guests at which there is no space for Grenell at the table. Sometimes, however, the Americans insist -- as happened during the Munich Security Conference in February, which U.S. Vice President Mike Pence attended. In conversation, Merkel made it clear in no uncertain terms how little regard she has for Grenell. She told Pence that the U.S. ambassador cultivates a style that "took getting used to."
Grenell has been in his posting for about one and a half years, but the chancellor still hasn't offered him a personal meeting. Merkel's people say that is not typical for a head of government to meet with an ambassador. But even German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas hasn't had a significant conversation with Grenell in almost one year. The last time they spoke in depth was at a party held by the tabloid newspaper Bild last September. Grenell didn't want to comment on this either.
Maas and the ambassador appeared to make small talk at the Bild event, but even that went awry. That same evening, Grenell said that, of all people, Maas was a fan of Kid Rock, one of the few Trump supporters in the U.S. showbusiness world. Maas had never even heard of Kid Rock. He had mentioned Pearl Jam, a left-wing grunge band.
Charismatic?
Four more years of Trump would probably leave irreparable damage ...
They say politics goes in cycles, with Reagan ushering in the epoch that firmly ended the New Deal coalition, he was the FDR of the current cycle, with Bush as his Truman, Clinton as his Eisenhower, Dubya as his Kennedy/Johnson (the most effective of the lot but ultimately pushed too far for middle America), Obama as his Nixon (the harbinger of things to come but congressional inertia holds them back), then yes, we're right in time for the Reagan-era Carter. Much as Carter presaged a centrist realignment for Dems, Trump too brings on an ideological realignment. Much like Carter, Trump squanders a historic opportunity to change the country due to inept leadership.
There's a galaxy of difference between them of course and I hate to insult Jimmy this way, but the parallels are there.
