Trump, comforting the families of those who were shot to death in Dayton and El Paso, lies about two Ohio politicians and brags about how his crowd was bigger than Beto’s: [https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/456643-trumps-trip-to-dayton-el-paso-marked-by-protests-and-attacks-on](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/456643-trumps-trip-to-dayton-el-paso-marked-by-protests-and-attacks-on)

Stay classy, Mr. President!

Probably also because they’re Anglos (what we call _white_ around here). THEY’RE not illegal. Why should they be arrested? :rolleyes: Use your head!

Yeah, I saw that clip. Trump political hacks are running the show, telling the scientists to basically shut the fuck up, and they seem to all be oil and mining connected guys who have an interest in getting rid of any regulations holding their industries back.

The EPA now equals the Environmental Pollution Agency.

Nah. It’s still _Protection_. Just read it as any low-level mobster would use the word.

Never watched the show (I know, I _know_) but didn’t that character grow more likeable /relatable over the course of the series ? Because with Trump, it’s really the opposite - the more you get to know about him the less likeable he becomes.

So what happens when Trump hires a hitman? You know he’ll end up stiffing ‘Dmitri918Makarov’, and that won’t end well…

Does the man have a shred of dignity about him? [Trump Used Asian Accent to Mock US Allies at Fundraiser](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-asian-accent-mock-south-korea-japan-870252/)

That’ll go over sooooo well in S. Korea and Japan–then again, considering the tensions between those two nations, it might be nice to have someone in common to detest…

Dimitri submits the bill to his Russian Mob boss… who doubles it and passes it up to his controlling Oligarch\*… who doubles it and sends it to Putin… who pays it and adds quintuple that to Trump’s bill while laughing.

\*Kudos to The Board: Only on the SDMB can you spell check a misspelling of ‘Oligarch’ and get asked if you meant to type “lollygag”…
