From WaPo via What the Fuck Just Happened Today:
At this rate of increase, we seem to be rapidly approaching the event horizon of a black hole of bullshit, wherein the density of false and misleading statements made by the President becomes infinite and no facts can escape.
Meh, with that said I’m not sure that pisses me off all that much. As it stands, developments of recent days have me increasingly convinced that Trump is nailing his coffin shut from the inside.
I can’t find it now, but I’m sure I posted something during the campaign about Tan the Conman having sex on stage with the flag. The amusing thing is that even after getting up close and personal with it, he still can’t color the damn thing, but instead thinks it looks like the flag of Russia.
That’s the look of a teacuppy in a stormy.
Fitting. He is, after all, screwing the country.
For some reason the look on his face brought to mind a line from Pippin (spoken by his grandmother when she sees how dispirited he is after taking part in a war against the Visigoths):Men and their wars… Sometimes I think men raise flags when they can’t get anything else up!
Colbert mentioned humping Old Glory which made me laugh out loud.
And speaking of long speeches, he’s just trying to emulate his idol.
I saw this and wondered if it was meant as a Nazi dog-whistle:
Trump’s talking about how great it was back in '88. 1888.
I wonder if Stephen Miller worked that in or I’m just expecting white supremacist crap from this administration.
Here you go
From the article:
Maybe Trump overheard saw an ad about 1880 and got someone to translate to him that the ad talked about “the most expensive nougat in the world”, or something…
Thanks.!
Trump is also going on about McKinley when talking about 1888, too. He says he loves McKinley.
Doesn’t he know what happened to McKinley???
Shhh! Nobody tell him.
Unfortunately, Pence ain’t Teddy.
And McKinley didn’t even take office until 1897.
Red ink as far as the eye can see? Gosh, thanks, Mr. President!: US federal deficit widens 77% in first four months of fiscal 2019 | CNN Politics
Shhh, no spoilers now.
ETA: errr, ninja’d
Trump’s the only person who can make vague claims like “people tell me I’m doing a great job, a tremendous job” and get cheered. That used to be considered obvious and insincere fakery. If a Democrat were that vacuous, Fox and Friends would be all over that like flies on shit.
Think maybe he’s planning to go to Denali and change the name of the mountain back?
Trump frequently lives in Denali, or at least something spelled very similarly.
In case this hasn’t been covered yet: we’ve heard Michael Cohen state that he sent threatening letters to Trump’s schools to dissuade them from releasing his academic records (not that they would have anyway). But apparently back in 2011 when Trump was challenging Obama to release his school transcripts, there was a similar effort by Friends of Trump to actually remove his school records from his school. I’m guessing this isn’t because they were so wonderful they would have embarrassed everyone else.
Well, since that was smack in the middle of the Guilded Age, it would figure it’d be the one period in history he knows anything at all about.
I thought the Guilded Age started some fifty years later, with the passage of the National Labor Relations Act of 1935.
Denali is a river in Egypt, if you happen to be dyslexic.
