If you’re looking for insights as to what the real impact of today’s #ComeyHearings will be for the Trump regime, why not turn to the world’s greatest experts on all things Trump, the endlessly babbling TrumpTrainers of Reddit’s TheDonald?
Here are the 6 hottest hot takes I found in TheDonald today.
1) This is all part of Trump’s brilliant strategy of 4D chess!
2) Wait, did I say Trump was playing 4D chess? I meant Putin.
3) This is all part of a devious plot to kill midwestern Trump voters by starting a war with Russia!
4) This is all part of a devious plot to ensure that no one will ever be able to criticize Hillary Clinton.
5) Comey should be fired for opposing EXCELLENCE and WINNING.
6) Somehow this whole thing increases the credibility of … Roger Stone!
We are through the looking glass, people!
I am strongly reminded of Otto from a Fish Called Wanda :
“You know your problem? You don’t like WINNERS.”
“Winners?”
“Yeah. WINNERS.”
“Winners, like North Vietnam?”
“Shut up. We didn’t lose Vietnam. It was a tie!”
“I’m tellin’ ya baby, they kicked your little ass there. Boy, they whooped yer hide REAL GOOD.”
That pic is the creepiest thing I seen all day, and I played Fallout.
Actually, the problem of “conservative heartland voters” will be solved by Drumpfcare itself kicking in. As in, they’re old, they’re riddled with pre-existing conditions, they can’t afford it, so they’re all gone by the next election.
And if it weren’t for the godforsaken Electoral College, they wouldn’t even be an issue to begin with, much less worth courting by politicians, because their sparsely populated states wouldn’t have such inordinate power compared to more populous regions.
So I emerge, staggering, pale and hollow-eyed from watching every single episode of ‘The Walking Dead’ in a week and a half, and everything is still stupid.
Also, Mike Pence was awarded a “Working for Women” honor.
No, seriously.
I think, in general, if you feel the need to repeatedly tell everyone you’re winning, then you’re not really winning. (A lesson most of us leaned at age ten.)
@Sinkable
How much money did he use to bribe-
These are on the front page of their site. They don’t seem very legitimate with those on their cover, alongside having education reform but doesn’t mention stopping Devos.
or, Bina, if the electoral college had done what it actually was intended to do: stop someone like trump from becoming president. it’s all pretty ironic in the most horrifying ways.
@brian
Trump is white. He ran against a candidate with strong minority support. The electoral college did exactly what it was supposed to do

So dropped the mic, and the countryside did shake with that feedback.
Minor correction:
@SFHC
Major, necessary, and much appreciated correction ?
Why is everyone talking about war with Russia? The options aren’t just limited “Russia gets free reign to muck about with American elections at will” and “the US and Russia are actively at war.”
Good day. Trump and co took a nasty beating in the comey hearing and even republican congressmen are saying Trumpcare isn’t even going to make it through the house to go die on the Senate’s floor.
@byrdinator
Meadows & Amash have both told me w/ full confidence that the GOP Obamacare replacement bill won’t have enough votes despite Ryan’s changes
@justinamash:
They haven’t changed the bill’s general framework. They don’t have the votes to pass it. They have seriously miscalculated.
The majority of young people vote Democratic. If they vote at all. If we went to war with Russia and there was a draft, it would be young men drafted. The rich ones, who are more likely to have voted Trump than the poor ones will find some way to get excused. That’s what always happens. Only a small portion of Trump voters would be part of those drafted and actually sent to the front lines.
Do these dudes know anything about anything at all? No seriously. I’d be curious to know if there’s any subject they aren’t completely ignorant about. I have yet to find anything in my 2 1/2 years reading this site.
Yup, I’m with Axecalibur. The EC did, indeed, work as intended. How do I know? Oh, just a hunch…
It’s pretty sobering when one realizes that the EC was designed to sift out only progressive populists. Right-wing demagogues, however, get a pass.
@Bina
In short the US was designed to cater to bigoted classist theocrats from the very start. Why am I not surprised? Yeah that makes sense, a person vote in Wyoming is worth more than a vote in California because “fair and balanced.”
Wait, I thought they shut down that subreddit? Or did they open of a new one?
Whatever you need to tell yourselves, little ducklings, to convince yourselves that your Daddy Lord Dampnut is not a massive train wreck.
So the electoral college exists to obstruct the will of the American people by giving more power to some voters over others. At least he admitted it. And I thought Hillary embodied American elites. Good to know.
I know they shut down the alt right subreddit, maybe that’s what you’re thinking of?
@David
Hmm, maybe. Could have sworn it was specifically The_Donald, though but after a Google it seems to be still around maybe. (I’m not clicking those links.)
That photo: I wondered what the Gentlemen from ‘Buffy’ were up to nowadays, and now I know – haunting American politics. Though it would be nice if Trump would ‘hush’…
Even over here in UK we have these derpy trump speculators trying to figure out the clever plan behind it all. I’m not sure there is one, it may just be pure chaos. All stripes of opportunist will try and get their piece of the action and out of that some order may appear. But it is the order of the scrap yard. Who knows what will happen next I wish I lived in more boring times.

His attacks and counterattacks are constant, so yeah, you are 100 percent correct.
