It's so ironic, that side came up with the whole "snowflake" meme about "safe spaces" and all that bs. But when you call them out on their absolute stupidity, not wrong stance mind, they go into meltdown.

Stephen Miller had a mare. Tried to say The New Colossus was added to the Statue of Liberty after it was built...which it was in 1903.
What he obviously doesn't know is that poem was written to help raise funds for the base of the statue. Moron.

looks like they're planning to "do something" (why won't somebody do something?) about affirmative action at universities then.
remains to be seen if it amounts to anything more than what they did about transgender people in the military (ie tweet about it once).
the nice thing about having Trumplings about constituents is that you don't actually have to accomplish much for them, in real terms (reality, after all, is just a sinister deep-state plot). you just need idle tweets to show your heart is in the right place, and for the media to take the bait - irritating the media is probably about 85% of Trump's appeal.
but if any reforms were to occur, I doubt it would involve this type of affirmative action: https://www.propublica.org/article/the-story-behind-jared-kushners-curious-acceptance-into-harvard
or that their new definition of "merit" will be strictly grade/SAT score-based, as this would almost certainly see a spike in admittance for Asian-Americans, and a corresponding relative drop in places for white kids.
the better politics would just be to attack them altogether on all fronts, Wisconsin-style. if an inevitably protracted legal spat over affirmative action is the best they can manage, we're getting off easy.

Lol
That statement about the bill he signed into law on sanctions was unhinged.
If it's unconstitutional then why sign it into law?

Is this all part of the plot then too, I suppose?

President Donald Trump plunges to a new low as American voters disapprove 61 - 33 percent of the job he is doing, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. White men are divided 47 - 48 percent and Republicans approve 76 - 17 percent. White voters with no college degree, a key part of the president's base, disapprove 50 - 43 percent.
Today's approval rating is down from a 55 - 40 percent disapproval in a June 29 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. This is President Trump's lowest approval and highest disapproval number since he was inaugurated.
American voters say 54 - 26 percent that they are embarrassed rather than proud to have Trump as president. Voters say 57 - 40 percent he is abusing the powers of his office and say 60 - 36 percent that he believes he is above the law.
President Trump is not levelheaded, say 71 - 26 percent of voters, his worst score on that character trait. Voter opinions of most other Trump qualities drop to new lows:
- 62 - 34 percent that he is not honest;
- 63 - 34 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;
- 59 - 39 percent that he does not care about average Americans;
- 58 - 39 percent that he is a strong person;
- 55 - 42 percent that he is intelligent;
- 63 - 34 percent that he does not share their values.
"Profound embarrassment over his performance in office and deepening concern over his level-headedness have to raise the biggest red flags.
"The daily drip drip of missteps and firings and discord are generating a tidal wave of bad polling numbers.
"Is there a wall big enough to hold it back?"
American voters give Arizona Sen. John McCain a 57 - 32 percent favorability rating, with a 74 - 18 percent positive score from Democrats and a 60 - 28 percent positive rating from independent voters. Republicans give McCain a negative 39 - 49 percent rating.
Trump gets a negative 34 - 61 percent favorability rating, with a 79 - 17 percent positive score from Republicans. All other groups are negative, with white men at 47 - 48 percent. That Russian Thing
The president "has attempted to derail or obstruct the investigation into the Russian interference in the 2016 election," American voters believe 58 - 37 percent.
Voters believe 63 - 31 percent that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 election. Republicans don't believe it 61 - 30 percent, while every other group believes by wide margins that the Russians interfered.
Trump did something illegal in dealing with Russia, 30 percent of voters say, while 30 percent say he did something unethical, but not illegal and 32 percent say he did nothing wrong. These numbers are similar for Donald Trump Jr. and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
American voters give Trump negative approval ratings for handling key issues:
- 41 - 52 percent for handling the economy;
- 36 - 59 percent for foreign policy;
- 46 percent approve of his handling of terrorism and 47 percent disapprove;
- 38 - 59 percent for immigration;
- 28 - 65 percent for health care. Trump's Tweets
61% of Americans is a pretty deep state!
But of course, should he lose, it could only be through illegitimate conspiracy. Brings to mind a certain song we sing, about Kopites
Yet, Schlichter's probably selling more books than the guy who did that polling.
Seems crazy, doesn't it? Trump's such a lightning rod. They've utterly failed to repeal Obamacare as promised, while even John McCain stands with the Democrats against his own party. The players come and go out of the daily news clown car, and the world turns. Baby Kim chucks missiles into the sea, and we need more funds for public art.
It's enough to make you just want to watch football. @davek tries to make that prospect as depressing as politics, but he has utterly failed, much like the Republicans in Congress.
The lightening rod is Obama with Republicans. Right wing media on the radio and TV are still railing against him. Trump has already pulled back several of Obama's inclusionary Executive Orders.
The right loves it. Destroy Obama's legacy. Point scoring at the expense of Americans. The Affordable Care Act is screwed because of Republican rules they put in place. Well hey ho they can now fix their mistake and fix the thing which at it's core it the right thing.
Talking party wide about repeal and replace was very dumb. Sounds good...but nearly impossible to do.
I have to be honest that I was shocked the Republicans didn't have a fully ready to win repeal and replace on day one. Betting most constituents feel the same.
Bigly f up.

Oh I don't doubt the Deputy Assistant Undersecretary of Conservative Wokeness's sales prowess... though not sure that's a validation metric I'd be comfortable hanging my hat upon.
Yep. Football: the "Benedict Option", but for who don't have a crippling pathological fear of sex.
Thanks for the chortle there, @mezzrow! ; )
Edit: Wait, please tell me the remark about needing funding for public art was sincere. It was, yes? I'd think of less of you if you didn't mean that...
re: Obama Derangement Syndrome - More Newton's third law. Trump's base loves all of it.
Never be shocked when the Republicans screw it up. They couldn't pull off a one man parade in a phone booth. Trump stole their party, didn't he?
The Mooch tells all!
Sure. That said, in my experience it's much more effective to find private money than public any day of the week.
I hope he had some genuine friends who can talk him out of this. He appears a prety high strung guy under normal circumstances and he's just gone through a very public professional defenestration added to his marriage breaking up, adding more publicity seems self destructive.
