The Harriet Miers of spydom.
Actually I would have loved to have seen Ratcliffe answer questions about QAnon conspiracy theories, and how the entire US intelligence service is conspiring against his Dear Leader. Would have been interesting.
“S&P and Nasdaq post worst week of the year. Stocks finished the week in a dramatic fashion after President Trump on Thursday announced new tariffs on Chinese imports Thursday”
I imagine the short sellers made out pretty well this week.
Anybody care to guess which ones of Trump’s insider friends/relatives made some big bucks from short positions this week? Anyone?
All of them?
The nights are long and cold in Siberia; they might go by more quickly if you spend them pretending to be an African-American who Won’t Be Fooled By Those Democrats Again.
The crowd’s reactions—or at least the reactions of those standing behind Himself—were just bizarre. No looks of incredulity or even surprise; just Pure Trust and delight. HE’S ABOUT TO CURE CHILDHOOD CANCER! OF COURSE! WE SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING!!!
Actors? Drugged out of their minds? Deeply intellectually challenged? It’s a mystery.
How could they fail to think of how this appalling, disgusting, evil lie would hit the parents of kids actually suffering from cancer?

…What is it with far-right people and ridiculously-dyed hair? Here’s Giuliani. Here’s Geert Wilders. Here’s Stephen Miller with spray-on hair.
Self-indulgent narcissism appears to be a common characteristic among far-right politicians.

“Where are we going?”
“Planet 10!”
“When are we going?”
“Real soon!”

It was hard not to notice. “Radioactive-horse-piss hair” is an accurate description.

Not to mention a shortage of mirrors.

Do NOT mention TAoBBAT8thD in the same breath as those revolting rally trumpod-people.
my emphasis in 1st quote
Trump and Putin discussed need for new ambassador during phone call
In case there is any lingering doubt about who is actually running the country…

“Where are we going?”
“Planet 10!”
“When are we going?”
“Real soon!”
"What is he giving us?
“Time Travel!”
“When is he giving it to us?”
“It’s irrelevant!”

Not to mention a shortage of mirrors.
They have plenty of mirrors. They’re just spending their time preening in front of them thinking, “Damn, I look good.”
Money goggles: Kind of like beer goggles only they’re working when one looks at oneself instead of another.

You’ve described an actual thing, I think.

There is a senior vice president in my company who has had way too much plastic surgery. After I first met her, I asked my boss if she had been in some horrible accident. Boss said no, she had done that to herself. I just can’t imagine how she can look in the mirror and not be absolutely horrified. Money goggles must be it.
I don’t have a song for money goggles (yet); I can introduce y’all to Super Goggles tho.

PBS News Hour just saw the worthless piece of crap saying how he has ordered the FBI to identify all resources they need to combat hate groups, especially white supremacists. To quote the scum-sucking twerp: “Hate has no place in America”.
FUCK OFF! The lousy lying lump of loathsomeness campaigned on hate, compliments white supremacists, and revels in bigotry.
Why is he still alive, let alone president?

Plastic Woman Syndrome. It’s a combination of a complete lack of originality and of using as references other women who go to the same surgeon.
You know how every Republican and gun nut says “oh, you shouldn’t politicize a tragedy” right after a shooting, as a way to stop discussion of gun control?
Have any of them called Trump out on his attempt to politicize the most recent shootings by calling for passage of an immigration reform bill?
We cannot let those killed in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, die in vain. Likewise for those so seriously wounded. We can never forget them, and those many who came before them. Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying…
…this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform. We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!
:mad:
Fuck this guy and fuck his supporters.

Trump still owes El Paso a half-million bucks from his last political rally there: Trump campaign still owes El Paso $500K for February rally [Video]

Let’s be careful of language that can be read as advocating for the assassination of the president, please.
