You spelled SILLY wrong. If you are going to toss about your intellectual, maple-tainted sarcasm the least you can do is get the spelling corect.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Well that turned down south quickly. From... uhm... what's this thread about... to shirtless bro Skyping.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
A thread for posting about Trump's progress, announcements, policy decisions, and controversies.

I think that may have been the joke
Trump thread merged with other Trump thread. He is not important enough for two.
Renamed it to make it more obvious.

Days since the Apocalypse began

He's just used to being "The Boss." Right now, it is all confirmations while his party (more or less his anyway) holds the majority and executive orders. He has NOT faced Washington gridlock or a true crisis. We will not know his mettle for a while yet, and his "I am an executive" approach will work fine for this easy part. The rest remains to be seen.

Democrats lose another special election.
At this point, just let them have a super majority and burn down the welfare state. If you can't find fault in a candidate unafraid to say that you don't deserve a living wage...then I say we give them what they want. Poverty and wage slavery
Democrats need to learn how to downplay how much outside money and influence pour into these elections. Republicans have practically made that an art form. Hell, they managed to convince everyone George Bush was a cowboy.
I don't think it is a total loss. The election before the run off way overly inflated expectations. I mean, you can tell people how badly the R vote split but all some see is 11 points to 51%. The Georiga 6th is a massively red district and Ossoff made up something like 19 points. Granted, that includes the fact he had a massive war chest. However I feel like that is more about the limitations of money than anything else.

I live right next to the Georgia 6th. Handel is a moron, and considering how deep red the 6th is, Im not surprised at all that she won. But attack ads work and considering the radio ads and flyers here (even in other districts) were a constant thing for both sides. Some of Handel's were pretty bad, like insinuating terror connections with Ossoff. But like in 2016, Republicans go to the polls, and thats why she won. Read about some Berniebros who were celebrating Ossoff's loss since he wasnt left wing enough. Thats why Democrats lose.
Funny thing is, that seat is up for election in 2018. More of a morale victory than anything else since she will have to defend the seat again soon anyways. Assuming the Democrats put someone forward. Lesson is, bring someone forward who is squeaky clean, lessen the outside money, and someone who has lived in the 6th for most of their lives. That seemed to be the biggest hitting points for the GOP in this race.

They also need to get rid of Pelosi. She has led the House Dems incompetently for almost 15 years, and is an easy talking point against Democratic congressional candidates. "Vote for me, or Pelosi will be in charge again!"
Parnell did pretty well in the South Carolina 5th election, lost by ~3 points. Not bad overall, considering how red both districts were.

Could've just said that it's InfoWars, "Trump-endorsed media outlet" sounds very much like a vain attempt at attacking Trump by rabid leftists.
The last paragraph is just more needless drama because hardly anybody gives a shit about what InfoWars say. Although it would be hilarious if Trump said he will look into it.

So as it turns out, Manafort is the first to be indicted, as I suspected.

Manafort indicted on 12 charges including conspiracy against the United States. Former business partner Rick Gates also surrendered to authorities.

Just musing. I think Manafort is primarily concerned with what is good for Manafort; he will sing like a canary

A nice overview of where we might head now that the process has started:
https://www.politico.com/magazine/st...ed-next-215762
One not mentioned is the Trump Nuclear Option.
One version simply goes with Trump firing Mueller. He might not be able to that directly.Trump might be forced to fire his Deputy AG, and anyone beneath him who refuses to co-operate.
Upon finding a willing dance partner Trump appoints him/her to the vacant position using a law that allows temporary appointments (without confirmation) to fill a vacancy for 210 days.
The Total Destruction version hinges on something I have not been able to confirm. If the very position Mueller is in was created by an Executive Order, well that's just too easy. Abolish the post with a new Executive Order and the whole problem disappears!
