I don’t know if it’s funnier that he revealed his password, that his password is all 0s, that he didn’t clear the **** off his phone, or that the **** he was watching is his wife having sex with another dude.

His password to his phone is 0000.

He had apparently been watching his wife's sextape before the meeting.




And this is who has the ear of the president.

If you want to represent the people--all of them, you'd better put in the work to find out what they really want and really need.

This is how Donald Trump became president. Democrats still largely haven't figured that out.

Yes and no. It is true that the Democrats just assumed they had everyone in the bag and did nothing to energize their base.

But, they are also fighting the battle of the single issue voter. To a large degree, there are people who will only vote so no one takes their guns, lets gays marry or lets abortion happen. The Republicans have stayed in power partially because they get that. They pretend to care what the conservative Cristian gun fetishist is about an they are already at 35 - 40% of the vote (Reagan wanted an assault weapon ban and gun registry and did not object to gay rights). Then, of course they get the rest by stoking fear and raci- errrr "Economic Anxiety". And if that fails, good old gerrymandering, voter intimidation and suppression.

It tends to be a steeper climb for people who, you know, care what the people want or need.

Absolutely, but ultimately it's got to be people who do care who get in, or else we're stuck with more of the same or worse.
