This thread is like one of those sticky fly strips that get hung in pit toilets, that finally get so full you have to toss them because they no longer catch any more flies.
The flies just keep buzzing around annoying the crap out of you.
And YOU are the one who's stuck to that flypaper as a nutcase serial posting politard fool .....

Well, that was refreshing. I just read the thread and to get it back on topic
I just wonder when Trump, the serial sexual predator, is going to blow. He can't have had any since 20/1/17.
Do you really think he can even get it up? Here's an exercise in imagination that will give you nightmares - imagine you're a woman (or a man, I guess) f*#king this and not getting paid ......

Bullsh!t IS the number one cooking fuel on the planet earth.
Better than any wood.
Better than any gas.
Better than and electric or terrible microwave.
The modern gross materialists should all get back to using dried cow sh!t to cook on because it is a very pure fuel .....

The purists use a Manurah, which allows one day's bullshit to last eight days.
Rudy Giuliani said that Trump can't be expected to testify under oath because, "Truth is not truth".
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/19/politics/rudy-giuliani-truth-isnt-truth/index.html
In other words, Giuliani said that truth is subjective, and that objective truth does not exist. If Trump says that 2+2=5, he expects people to obediently believe that is the truth.
The (Republican) Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
 George Orwell, 1984
Trump's religious supporters are cheering for him because they believe him to be the anti-Christ figure from the Bible. In their scenario, their support of Trump is assisting God in carrying out his Master Plan. Trump supporters are anxious for the day when Jesus shows up to a campaign rally, body slams Trump onto a folded metal chair, and seizes control of the microphone.
Trump's big tax break has given rich people greater political power, by way of the extra money they have to pervert the democratic process.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/18/us/politics/tax-cuts-republicans-donors.html
This is part of Vladimir Putin's plan for America. He wants political power taken from the people and given to a few rich oligarchs who beholden to him. Donald Trump is a Top Oligarch in Putin's plan. Trump's role is analogous to that of a Caporegime in a Mafia hierarchy, and Putin's role is that of the Godfather.

Hooray! Let this be the politics thread that lives.
Very difficult to see what is really happening in politics. No clear reporting.
Press releases from various camps leave out crucial details and slant to make others look worse than they are.
Media wildly slanted one way or the other and hoping to blow up controversy far beyond what is really going on.

they are judged on their policies and effectiveness.....on this Trump is doing quite well so far.
If that is the true measure of a leader, then getting Italy's trains to run on time (Mussolini), and improving Germany's economy (Hitler), and greatly expanding the Japanese empire (Hirohito), and making Russia a dominant nuclear power (Stalin) are the true antecedents of what Donald Trump is doing.
Trump is drunk on power, and his supporters are drunk on a false perception of what he is doing to America.
Setting aside, for the moment, that Trump is a criminal who is facing multiple Federal and State investigations for everything from tax fraud to money laundering to conspiracy to defraud the United States to obstructing a Federal investigation, here are some of his non-achievements:
America's economy is "roaring" on average, because those at the top have been greatly increasing their wealth, while those near the bottom are becoming poorer. His policies overwhelmingly benefit the upper classes and big corporations that enjoy his public largess and his deregulation of health and safety rules. Trump's economic numbers are consistently shown to be exaggerations and lies, and he attempts to deceive his audiences by declaring them to be better off than before (how many, here, agree with that?). Trump's tariff wars have severely impacted a great deal of the Midwest, which is his core base of support - Trump's answer is to hand out over $12 billion in welfare to them, to ensure that they continue to vote Republican (Californians impacted by Trump's tariff wars can expect little or none of that welfare). Trump's claim to have "solved" the North Korean problem was a complete lie - the Hermit Kingdom continues to develop long-range missiles and nuclear weapons. Trump's border policy was predicated on stealing children from families, and putting them up for adoption at so-called "Christian" detention centers. Trump's policy towards Turkey of doubling tariffs to implode their economy is ostensibly motivated by a desire to obtain the release of a single U.S. citizen; the real purpose is to obey Putin's commands to disrupt western societies whenever possible.
Trump is a total disaster.
If there is even ONE actual, factual thing that Trump has done as president that is not a disaster, or a self-serving gift to rich people and corporations, then put it on the page, right here.
If such thing exists, I am unaware of it.
But, not in the same way that Trump's supporters are unaware of multiple indictments, admissions of guilt and prison sentences already obtained by Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in 2016. Trump's supporters are conveniently "unaware" through the ready expedient of ignoring factual evidence, and believing Rudy Giuliani when he says that "Truth Is Not Truth".

"Next two weeks" much handwringing. Nope. The end ain't nigh. Whimper not a bang. Much ado about nothing. This too shall pass. No one ever lost money underestimating the stupidity of the ordinary American. I'm so glad I'm ignoring this decade

Spider! Thank you for the endorsement.
Since we are friends, this means much-more than one anonymous ST troll endorsing another anonymous ST troll. Between us, we have met, climbed, & partied with a lot of the folks on ST.
Here's a photo of Spider & his brother presenting me an engraved Hexcentric to mark my helping to pave the slippery slope into climbing for those lads, when I owned an outdoor gear store in the 1970's.

Trump has applied so much pressure to Erdogan that he will likely face mass public pressure to leave.
Nope, he'll turn to Russia, Iran and Qatar.
Erdogen has already survived an uprising. He knows how to clamp down on protests. Now he can blame the US for it's problems.
