His “Get Tough!” tweet was probably “aspirational”, as they say. He’s wistful that the violence is subsiding. “C’mon guys – crack some heads! how can I be a wartime president without a war???”
Anyone brown, anyone suspected of being a “liberal” or an opponent of Donald Trump of course.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s had to be talked down from trying to order the police to beat on Democratic Congresspeople and imprison them for defying him. He’s clearly thought of himself as some sort of god-king this whole time he’s been in office, not a President.
‘This Face Will Be The Last Thing You See Before You Die,’ Says Trump In Healing Address To Nation
“…At press time, Trump reached across partisan lines to heal the divided nation by adding to reporters that some specific Americans would be seeing his face far sooner than others.”
Just to get ahead of the game, how many hours until Trump issues a tweet denouncing General Mattis (probably lying and claiming that he fired Mattis) and gives the MAGAts their latest marching orders?
Probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General. I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about it. His nickname was “Chaos”, which I didn’t like, & changed to “Mad Dog”…
…His primary strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him a new life, things to do, and battles to win, but he seldom “brought home the bacon”. I didn’t like his “leadership” style or much else about him, and many others agree. Glad he is gone!
Wow. What has the world come to when it’s not even possible to tell satire from reality?
I wonder how long it will be before the juandiced jackass recalls General Mattis to active duty for disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
trump quote from the article: “As an example they have great beaches. You see that whenever they’re exploding their cannons into the ocean. I said, boy, look at that view. Wouldn’t that make a great condo? And I explained, I said, you know, instead of doing that you could have the best hotels in the world right there. Think of it from a real estate perspective. You have South Korea, you have China, and they own the land in the middle. How bad is that, right? It’s great.”
Someone already posted this 2017 article in The Atlantic by David Frum in one of the Trump threads and this quote caught my eye:
How to Build an Autocracy
The preconditions are present in the U.S. today. Here’s the playbook Donald Trump could use to set the country down a path toward illiberalism.
Seems like everyone convicted in the Mueller probe may receive their get out of jail card. Of course, Trump also wants Barr and Senate Republicans to persecute the innocent as well. It looks like Lindsey Graham wants to start a real witch hunt:
Those who could be targeted include Loretta Lynch, James Clapper and John Brennan, among others.
We have the most incompetent, corrupt president in history, who Senate Republicans wouldn’t even consider convicting on impeachment–even before hearing any evidence, but it’s the career civil servants that need investigating and punishing.
If the witnesses refuse to abide by the subpoenas as the Trump people did with the House investigations, can you imagine all the Republican wailing and teeth-gnashing?
Years ago David Letterman did a skit called “Trump or Monkey?”. Three photos of the top of a head with wild hair were presented, with the face covered. The viewers were invited to guess which two were Donald, and which one was an orangutan. We guessed wrong.
