Trump celebrates the Hindu festival Diwali a week late, calls it a festival for 'Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains'

It is possible for Trump to be (or act) more out of touch, but I think it would take work.

These two groups do not look the same.

"What? We're diverse!" exclaimed the GOP spokesman. "Look - we have a woman. And we have a guy with an eye-patch! See? Diversity!"

Dem men should be ashamed

No chance nationally unless female or minority

Oh, sorry.  Forgot about Biden.

Heh.

Heh

They keep counting until all the votes are counted.  That you take it as a given that this process is corrupt is only proof of the damage Trump has done to our democratic institutions (and to your brain.)

My least favorite is the clear evidence that Trump's mantra about a witch hunt resonates with too many people.

This is a flip from previous polling a few months before the election that showed a significant majority of Americans think the investigation is justified.

I think this is more about people's short memories than Trump's "witch hunt" mantra.  Its been 6 months since anyone has been indicted or agreed to cooperate, and Mueller respected the mid-term elections and refrained from making any moves that would get into the news.

It was expected that following the election we would hear from him again.  But unclear what effect Whitaker is having right now.

Mitch McConnel asks:  Will Dems work with us, or simply put partisan politics ahead of the country?

Then on Fox you have this:



Using incoming congressional women of color to agitate and scare monger against the "radical" proposals from Democrats.

If even kiidcarter8 was in a room of 30 people meant to be representative of his community, say at the DMV or for jury duty, even he would note that he is in a room of almost entirely white men if it matched the incoming Republican class.  So why does he think that's right?  Why does he think it natural that to be in charge you need to be white and male?

Its a truly indecipherable mentality.  Easily the most basic thing dividing Americans right now.

I know that Democrats have never given Mitch McConnell a reason to ask the question, while the fact that its Mitch "Our first priority is making Obama a one term President" McConnell is asking it shows exactly the same character traits that have led him to be the king of putting partisan politics over country.

here is what will happen, kiiidcarter8:

The Democrats will begin the session addressing voting laws, education and healthcare, which will be ignored by Mitch and go unreported in your Fox news bubble, except to present these ideas as "radical" and dangerous.

Democrats will also use their majority in the House to conduct Constitutionally mandated oversight of the Executive, to which FOX News will yell "Presidential harassment" and you and Mitch McConnell will say that Democrats are putting partisan politics over the country.
