And this guy!
In my freshman philosophy class, I got hooted down by the rest of the class when we were discussing the Ten Commandments and I asserted that it was a translation from the original Hebrew, and “Thou shalt not kill” was originally “Thou shalt not commit murder.” I felt no interest in class participation after that. Just did the reading, took the final, and got out.
Reminds me of a Pratchett character who keeps insisting to everyone he meets that he’s not a nutcase “and he has a doctor’s note to prove it”. Or Leo DiCaprio’s wife in *Inception *who, we’re told, had herself officially declared sane by multiple shrinks before she offed herself, at which point the viewer is apparently not supposed to immediately think “Who the hell does that, and isn’t it in and of itself proof that she was a few cards short of a full deck ?!”
But, you were right.
Yes, you were. In fact, the literal translation is “no murder.”
Monty Python did something similar, starting at 1:15 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1RGwaCUjm0
President Rotten Eggs really wants to drop that hammer on all those pesky Salvadorans
Well, at least we won’t have to worry about the shatministration doing everything they can to help facilitate green card acquisition. durrrrrr…
He doesn’t even know what he’s talking about from minute to minute in the same freakin’ meetin’: http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/09/politics/donald-trump-immigration-contradictions/index.html
One early-morning tweet, and chaos results on Capitol Hill over a FISA vote: http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/11/politics/president-donald-trump-fisa/index.html
The bill did pass, despite the moron. His first tweet appears to have been the result of a mention of the upcoming vote on Fox and Friends. Fox News tricks President into opposing his own bill.
They’re crafty that way, ooo, they’re crafty!
At least as cunning as Jayne’s toque.
Shithole!
I feel terrible, but this made me laugh.
Let’s spell out what countries thump is referring to, in case Dopers from those countries would like to take exception.
E.J. Dionne said on Twitter today: *“It’s official: As long as trump is president, the sentence ‘He can’t get worse, can he?’ is inoperative.”
Shitholegate.
Only from an Oval Office meeting. Not recorded, that is. But the spokesguy isn’t denying it. He put out some weird boilerplate, “Trump is fighting for America” bullshit. It’s got some heat, but I think it’ll take a C-bomb on a hot mike to really sink him.
Nothing he does surprises me. Nothing. Horrifies, yes. Surprises, no.
He keeps bragging about what a great smart student he was, “at Wharton”.
First of all he didn’t go to WHARTON Wharton - which would imply he got a Masters degree.
He went to the Wharton School of Business and Finance, University of Pennsylvania, which is the undergrad, bachelors program.
Professor William T. Kelley taught Marketing there. Kelley said “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.”.
Trump didn’t get into Wharton on his own merits. He transferred into the University of Pennsylvania’s undergraduate program after spending two years at Fordham University in New York.
Trump was admitted to “Wharton” on a special favor from a “friendly” admissions officer. The officer had known Trump’s older brother, Freddy.
The college’s admissions staff surely knew that Trump’s father was a wealthy real estate developer and a potential donor.
Trump has refused to release his grade transcripts from his college days.
He got in because of his brother’s connections and his daddy’s money.
People in those countries would do just about anything to get out and come to America.
They agree with Trump.
Optimist. 
A C-bomb would ping off his [del]white walkers[/del] supporters like pistol shots bouncing off a tank. Decent people would hand-wring, but that very hand-wringing would make his hard-core fans even happier with him, 'cuz that’s just how they [del]troll[/del] roll.
Oh good, I guess his bone spur got better.
