There, there. Even in a dead language, words have meaning, and there’s no need for you to take it personally if others discuss what that meaning is supposed to be.
If somebody had said to you ”To the UFC from the White House there is an easy”, you’d doubtless be wondering about a possible missing word too.
Not outside the imagination of Cecil B. DeMille, so far as I know. Of course screenwriters might have liked to show Justice finding a tyrant via ligtning, but until recently such an attempted special effect would likely have been either unconvincing, or downright dangerous.
But as you say, it’s overdue for real life to display a bit of Just Deserts in that particular way.
UFC legend Daniel Cormier reveals that Eric “The Dumb One” Trump DMed him on Facebook assuming that UFC is predetermined like wrestling and wanted to know who was booked to win tonight’s White House fights so he could bet on the winners.
Both Cormier and Trump insist those are fake, but multiple journalists report that they saw the tweet from Cormier in the 15 minutes before it was deleted.
While Trump denies that the conversation ever took place and Cormier appeared to cast doubt on the tweet’s legitimacy, some MMA reporters — including Adam Martin — claim they saw it themselves before it was deleted.
The post was only up for roughly 15 minutes before it was taken down, but the screenshots of alleged Instagram messages from Eric Trump to Cormier and the UFC Hall of Famer’s accompanying statement appeared to be damning, to say the least.
Given how quickly the post was taken down, it’s possible that Cormier’s own account was hacked and he acted quickly to recover it once the alleged screenshots went live. There’s also the possibility that Cormier did in fact receive the messages himself and wanted to try and bring the issue to light, only to find out that it was an account posing as the middle son of President Donald Trump.
There is of course a chance that both Cormier’s post and the messages were legitimate and that the former two-division UFC champion was told to take it down shortly after it was posted. It took a bit for Cormier to provide any sort of update after it was deleted, and his follow-up post didn’t exactly provide a clear explanation for the initial one.
Given that Eric Trump is involved, I assume the dumbest possible version of events occurred, which is that the screenshot I posted is accurate.
Trump appointee says that annexing Greenland will allow Red Lobster to bring back Endless Shrimp.
Every single Trump voter should be confronted with this and screamed at that this is what they voted for. Invade a sovereign nation to save a casual dining chain.
Some of them would respond: “Oh, did you say Red Lobster? I can’t get enough of their shrimp! And way up north, where all the shrimp in the world are. Great!”
The “Bubba Trump Shrimp Company” joke follows naturally.
Red Lobster reactivated Endless Shrimp on April 26. Talk about firing an arrow then painting a bulls eye around it.
It would seem annexing Greenland is unnecessary.
Not that it WOULD save that casual dining chain. The world’s shrimp are not concentrated in Greenland. Nor would Red Lobster make the same mistake again (even if they do have current Endless promotions, you can bet they are more restrictive than the old ones).
But Donald is desperate. More desperate than he’s ever been in his miserable life, I would guess.
A promise that ‘Support me and you will get yummy food and plenty of young attractive sex partners and free transportation and a mansion to live in’ is no doubt only a few weeks away.
I was just funnin’. (what a MAGA’d say)
Of course it wouldn’t. There are LAYERS of stupidity. To put it in language even MAGA might understand, it is like a Taco Bell burrito. It’s stupid on stupid on stupid.
All that the New Yorker reporting does is reveal yet more layers than we knew before, and there was already plenty of stupid to go around. It’s like finding out that not only is your burger rotten, and not only is it on a moldy bun, but it was wrapped in a used, dirty wrapper. (More fast-food metaphors for the MAGA crowd.)
No, I knew you weren’t being literal. 
I just typed what I did as part of my overall point.
Very evocative!
But Donny-boy is in real trouble. To distract the nation from the fact that even dedicated ‘conservatives’ are calling his Iran “deal” a surrender, Donny is going to have to up the Stupid to a degree human minds have never before contemplated.
Stupid is funny and worthy of mockery and dismissal when it’s just some jackass doing it.
When they are the President of the Goddamn United States, it is dangerous.
Very true.
And the US troops sent to Cuba, shortly, will be in a great position to testify to that fact.
Trump won’t send troops into Cuba because he knows there’ll be casualties and his aversion to anything short of a “perfect victory” won’t allow him to countenance that. It’s the same reason he chickened out of invading Kharg Island.
Of course. Other peoples deaths (well USA ones) make him look bad. Can’t have that.
At this point I wouldn’t be surpised if Trump just said that any dead people from this would be losers for dieing.
I do hope you’re both right about that. Certainly Donald wouldn’t be deterred by any actual concern for the troops—so if some American analog to Bibi assured him it could be done “Venezuela-style,” he’d be eager to believe.
