I'd pay a lot for Trump to tweet about OJ.

So, quiet evening for this thread. While the latest story tells us that 45 has just been, you know, mildly curious how this whole "pardon thing" works, and whether it's okay for him to use it on, just say for instance, family members or even himself.
But, "nothingburger," got it. Side note: that's a hell of a leak. |

Not that I think Spicer would've been good under normal circumstances, but he definitely had one of the most difficult press secretary assignments ever.

I'm waiting to see who is so mentally damaged that they're willing to take that job now.

Certainly not a fan of Spicer, but he had a pretty impossible job-make donald trump look presidential. Hopefully he takes a long vacation on a island far from the US where there are no press to bother him anymore.

Spicer chose to actively participate in countless bogus stories. Remember, he didn't resign because the bullshit got too deep, he quit because he doesn't like his new boss.
He doesn't deserve much of our sympathy.

It sure looks like Mooch is a Wall Street Dem that decided there was more money and fame in rabid Trumpism.

New report states that Sessions did discuss the Trump campaign during his undisclosed meetings.

Can we all agree to ignore this Sessions news and make jokes about Sean Spicer stealing a mini fridge for the next 24 hours.

With all the drama and healthcare reform seemingly stuck, its looking less likely that the Wall and Tax reform will start / be done this year.
Really wanted tax reform. |

Is there really some story involving Spicer and minifridges out there? Please tell me there is. That would make my day. Hopefully he will also be wearing two different shoes, like a Bruno Magli in honor of OJ, and I don't know, a hightop white Converse?

It's criminal this man does not continue to be the press secretary. He's quite clearly about as well suited to this President as anyone alive.

A 12% "regret rate" seems pretty high. I wonder what that number would be for other presidents in their first year. It's kind of hard to even imagine the person who voted for Trump but would vote for Clinton now.
I could see a higher number regretting Trump support in the primaries, given what a failure he's been in terms of what he promised. Last edited by molson : 07-22-2017 at 11:17 AM. |

Same article says the same poll conducted in May gave Clinton a 15% regret rate. Interesting that she comes in higher. |

This really tells me nothing. What I would be more curious about is whether people who chose not to vote in 2016, either because of pure disinterest or belief Hilary was a fait accompli, are more likely to vote in 2020. Or, perhaps more importantly, are the Libertarian/Green Party people more likely to be Democratic-nose holders in 2020? |

I would expect in a race like this for the loser's number to be higher. In this case, I'm guessing it's people on the far left who couldn't stand her but voted for he only to stop Trump. I'm sure some of them are now thinking "if I'd known he was going to win, I would have written in Stein/Bernie/Warren/etc."

Ya, it's a different dynamic for the loser and a different hypothetical that people are asked to weigh in on. But that number also seems high. Who voted for Clinton but now would vote for Trump if given another chance? Who are these people? Based on these %s there's millions of them.
Edit: I guess the write-in thing could be a partial explanation, I read the survey as just proposing a binary choice. And only a tiny number of people write-in votes in November. (I think, I know some states count those and some just throw them away) Last edited by molson : 07-22-2017 at 01:04 PM. |

Apparently, its not going to be the new Comm Director's job to keep Trump off of Twitter. Looks like he set a record for tweets today/last night

Didn't he specifically say he wanted Trump to be less restrained in his usage of Twitter? This morning's tweet storm in particular was off the rails even by Trump standards.

I have no doubt that Hillary's % would be similar even if she won, from many of the Brogressives who'd be complaining that her proposed $12/minimum wage means she's out to execute all poor people.

At first glance I thought "yeah, could be" but on second thought I dunno. I mean, various obstructionists have been in the way of some of his better stuff thus far. And I don't recall anyone in the primary that would have been an improvement over that situation for Trump voters. I dunno how much regret would be a vote change, maybe some that'd just opt to sit it out though.

As for the rest of the Varney opinion, I have a 401k but I won't see a piece of that for probably another 30 years. So we'll see what the longer term impact on the market is. (Though in 30 years any impact may be long erased. Unless we're in selling-water-on-the-black-market territory because global temps are regularly in the 90s).
