> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > I believe this is a misprint. I’ve informed their ombudsman that it should read “Trump tweeted the video at about 9 p.m. after a long day of snorting addies, screaming at the television and bobbing for Chicken McNuggets in an inflatable kiddie pool filled with sweet 'n sour sauce.” I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to ask for a cite that it was sweet 'n sour sauce and not just plain ketchup. ---

I flagged Individual 1’s retweet of the doctored Pelosi video for violating Twitter’s standards, and today they told me it doesn’t violate their rules. ---

You know, this whole thing about Trump and Giuliani tweeting phony video that makes Pelosi look bad? And the fact that about 100% of the commenters on Fox News and Breitbart are repeating it whether they know it’s phony or not? This is REALLY PISSING ME OFF. Can we work up a vid of a Russian hooker taking a leak and juxtapose it with a shot of Trump getting splashed with some kind of liquid? Or maybe a pair of tiny men’s hands groping a young woman, juxtaposed with a grinning Trump? That would be pretty easy to do, no? And then THROW IT UP ALL OVER THE INTERNET? ---

> [@OttoDaFe](#): > > Even if Pelosi were a lush — which I don’t for a moment believe — what’s Trump’s excuse? I think you will find that Trump has never, once, in his long, famous career as a public speaker, stumbled over his words in any way, shape, or form. He always says exactly what he means, says it right the first time, and clearly and concisely conveys his meaning to the audience. ---

No, I think he is implying that he’s “a swamp monster that resembles an anthropomorphic mound of vegetable matter, and fights to protect his swamp home, the environment in general, and humanity from various supernatural or terrorist threats.”\* \*Wikipedia ---

I can just see Trump thinking “Obama didn’t sign a treaty with N. Korea but I will and that will show the world I’m so much better at negotiations than him.” Of course, if Trump gives away the store and gets nothing in return, that won’t bother him as long as he can claim a “win” in his mind. This is the guy who lost a billion dollars over a decade. AIUI, one of the reasons his casinos went broke is that he financed them with loans that had such high interest rates not even a casino’s profit could cover them. Stable genius, indeed. ---

I don’t know if he still thinks he can get the Nobel. Maybe not. Most likely he’s just enjoying fucking up the world as much as possible, because there are always profit opportunities in chaos. ---

Not saying there’s no validity to your point, but there are extenuating circumstances And Spanish journalists referred to her as “Hillary” or “Hillary Clinton” before she became a senator. From then on it was “Senator Clinton” (in Spanish the ‘senator’ is gendered, she was _la senadora Clinton_). When she became a presidential candidate, she started being referred to as “Clinton” and her husband became “Bill Clinton”.
