Things that made you smile today (Political Version)

No one cared when a Starbucks refused to allow a police officer to use their restroom because they weren't a customer either.

No one cared when a muslim baker refused to make a gay wedding cake either.

Gosh, I wonder why.

This is good news. My hope is that they eventually turn on him like a pack of rabid dogs and tear the trump family to pieces. That'd be the ideal scenario and it may come to that. Until then I'm happy if the lame duck the bastard.

Mitt Romney says he is not ready to commit to endorsing President Trump for reelection in 2020.
"I will make that decision down the road," Romney told CNN at the Utah GOP convention on Saturday. "As a person of political experience, if I endorse someone, I'll want to know what's in it for Utah and what help would he provide for us on key priorities in Utah."

“A wide array of House and Senate Republicans are not yet ready to endorse President Trump’s bid for a second term, a reflection of the deep uncertainty on Capitol Hill over his political standing amid growing problems at home and abroad,” CNN reports.
“In interviews with a cross-section of more than two dozen GOP lawmakers, ranging from rank-and-file members, conservatives and party leaders, many refused to say they’d back Trump’s re-election bid — a surprise declaration given that members of Congress are typically quick to endorse sitting presidents of their own party without hesitation. Hardly any would offer a categorical endorsement of the President.”

“Look, I’m focused on opioids,” muttered Tennessee’s Lamar Alexander, suggesting that a U.S. senator is not mentally adept enough to fight a drug epidemic while also figuring out whether he backs a president in his own party. Alexander is not the only GOP senator to offer up tortured answers to this simple question.
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (Tex.) refused to answer, explaining that he had not given the question much thought because things could change in the time before the 2020 campaign revs up.
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Bob Corker (Tenn.) spent four days grasping for an answer to a question he called “unfair” before finally saying he didn’t want to “make news.” Other GOP lawmakers are no more eager to talk about the 2020 campaign than Trump himself wants to discuss the intricacies of Stormy Daniels’s lawsuit.
But while the president and his team of misfit lawyers have reason to tread carefully under stormy legal skies, Republicans on Capitol Hill can relax. It’s becoming clear that Trump will not be running for president in 2020.

Assuming Trump runs I have no doubt Reek will kiss the ring.

HAHAHA, Yes, I agree. Reek will kiss the ring. Trump cut his dick off at their little dinner.

That's it right there. He may as well have forked a big old sausage out of his bowl and bitten off the head in front of Mittens.

It's an easy thing for Romney to hedge on endosring Trump. Trump is actually under water in Utah right now. (But not so much that he's free to be aggressive about it)

As a voting group, Mormons are traditional moral values voters. So they see a President who lies constantly, cheats on his wife with porn stars, and who treats people poorly and are turned off by it.

That's what the White Evangelical Movement was originally, but these days they are more of a white racial anxiety group than a traditional values group. (In terms of voting patterns) So they see a President who built his image on gambling, who cheats on his wife with porn stars, lies constantly, etc etc and are unfazed because they also see him reflecting that white racial anxiety narrative that has become so influential in their politics. (Anti-immigrant, anti-racial diversity, anxiety about the white birth rate, etc) He's a means to that end.

So why did 61% of them vote for him in 2016? It's not like he's changed since then.

A Mormon would think the same of you.
