Truly these are the end times. Pure bullshit coming out of a horse’s ass. Next up: lion laying with the lamb.
Yes, in his inimitable (one hopes) style:
Then, after declaring that he was pardoning both birds:
Normally a “don’t quit your day job” would be appropriate here, but…

President Trump is lying: he didn’t visit Arlington last year for Veteran’s Day.
Oh, yes, please. Comedy gold, Donnie!
Virtually every year. So next year, he’ll be sure to allow himself to be dragged to a Veteran’s Day ceremony because this year’s debacle will be fresh. Veteran’s Day 2020 will come right after Election Day, when his successor will be chosen. He’ll be in a black funk, sulking in Mar-a-Lago, and will refuse to go anywhere where he can’t eat ice cream.
So virtually every = 50%.
Since when is 1-in-4 equal to 50%? :dubious:
We don’t know. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.
Many people are saying they’re close. Many people.

My guess is they wrote it and he forced a bunch of changes. The original wasn’t healthy but it was coherent.
The reason for my guess is that this text is less incoherent than if it was a direct Trump statement. Note that I don’t say “more coherent”; that would itself be incoherent.
The Iranians OTOH rake in the points again in their replies to Trump.
Stick to Twitter, twit!
You’re assuming the incompetent imbecile won’t be impeached.
The best people.
To be honest, I’m not particularly surprised that this was Trump’s bottom line. There were people within the House of Saudi who were in some form or another involved in 9/11, and that didn’t break our relationship. What’s (only somewhat) surprising is the amateurish manner in which they’ve handled the diplomatic fallout.
I personally don’t think Kashoggi’s death ever was a game-changer in any meaningful sense. The understanding going forward is “Hey guys, look, you can’t kill journalists in broad daylight like that - certainly not ours.” I kinda think they got that message already - if not from Trump, then from the international political and business community.
What’s of greater concern is not so much Trump’s relationship with MBS per se but rather the larger trend of befriending autocrats - from MBS to Duterte to Putin to Kim. This is not an inconsequential turn of events because by striking these kinds of unholy alliances, it’s not just that the United States is expanding its sphere of influence into their countries; they’re simultaneously allowing autocrats to influence ours - and that is going to have consequences that cannot be foreseen.
The United States is no longer a bulwark against tyranny; we are essentially enabling its rise and spread across the world. Christ, just consider the fact that Interpol, the global police network that captures bad guys, is about to administered by an agent of the Kremlin.
Except that it probably wouldn’t.
It would be outrageous to the well-adjusted among us, but a good 1/3 (maybe more) of the country would cheer from the peanut gallery.
Good news here, at least: they chose a South Korean instead.
Well that’s certainly a pleasant update
(my bolding)
I agree with everything you’ve said except for the bolded part.
When was the USA ever a bulwark against tyranny? WWI? WWII? Maybe. Although I think it could be argued that the USA saw the writing on the wall in both wars and joined in with the side that looked most likely to win and most in line with it’s philosophy of capitalism and corporate profits. Since then? The USA has a pretty nasty record of supporting dictators and helping to overthrow legitimate democracies. Ex: Iran/Mossaddegh, Argentina/Peron.
Oh heck: United States involvement in regime change - Wikipedia Not all of these ended in tyranny but a bulwark? Nah.
Just him not taking a dirt nap is enough to piss me off.
I can’t believe I’m typing this, but in the last episode of Last Week Tonight there was a segment on Brexit which involved clips of Theresa May speaking to Parliament. Unfortunately, due to some imbecilic UK rules it’s illegal to use actual recordings of Parliamentary debate for comedic purposes, so instead for us UK viewers John Oliver got Gilbert Gottfried in to read out loud Theresa May’s 500±page draft Brexit proposal. After a few minutes of Gottfried screeching on about fishing rights, Oliver relented and instead let Gottfried read out some Bigfoot porn. It didn’t get to the actual intercourse part but with regard to dong description (and going by scarred memory) the phrases “slick hairy forest log” and “picture a mink biting an apple” were involved.
I can’t decide whether this is better or worse than discussing the latest horrible thing the president has done.
