I hope it is just to see the rage it sends him into when the news breaks.
“Fake Nudes!”
One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two boys got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other…
It’s now become actual news from the White House.
This gives me nightmares. I mean, intellectuals have their way of saying things so that only other intellectuals will understand what they mean but less well educated people will be whooshed. Now we find out there is a conversational modality that works the opposite way, a pattern that looks like stupidity to intelligent people but communicates salient ideas among morons. Like intellectuals often use allusion, whereas morons would use the opposite of that.
We need to get teams of anthropologists and sociologists to work on this, so that we can understand what this apparent stupidity actually is. We must not allow ourselves to be fooled by fools.
Nah. It’s basic dog psychology. Give them a treat to get them to ignore the squirrel. There is absolutely nothing sophisticated about his communication. It’s just one lie after another.
Trump supporters have to latch onto something, anything. Any lie to comfort themselves. Otherwise they must admit just how wrong they really are.
The real question is how long can they swallow these treats before they understand they are being distracted. I know my dog is starting to catch on.
Before the photo is released, be sure to Photoshop a ginormous schlong onto it, and the resulting dilemma will surely cause thump’s head to explode. ("Deny?? Accept?? Deny?? Accept??)
Bravo!
Your dog appears to be smarter than 40% of adult Americans. But you probably already knew that.
It is not that intellectuals are fooled by this language. It is just that they are amazed that it works.
Remember the tweet with the picture showing Trump at his desk, working hard and signing a tall stack of bills while Congress all left town?
Turns out almost all of that stack of “bills” were Congressional proclamations renaming post offices. This was likely one of them. No wonder he didn’t notice one was Khan’s - he doesn’t have the best attention span.
It would also have required him to be able to read.
Dear Furloughed Federal Employees:
If you voted for Hillary, I’m sorry. You have my sympathy.
If not, shut the fuck up and quit your bitching.
Thank you,

I just had an idea so brilliant, (and ethically dubious) that it will probably put me next in line to be Attorney General.
So Trump needs money for his wall but congress has specifically rejected using any funds for this boondoggle. At times like this one should follow the mantra “what would Reagan do?” Answer: sell weapons to America’s enemies in exchange for money which is then funneled through drug cartels to the place you wanted it to go.
We have many options for the weapons sales: Taliban, North Korea, Syria, ISIS, as well as sticking with the old favorite Iran. This money could then be funneled to Mexican Drug cartels who would then threaten the lives of the rejected asylum seekers unless they agree to clandestinely build the wall. So we actually end up with Mexico paying for the wall and he cruises into victory in 2020. Best of all if this scheme is discovered, perhaps the workers didn’t build the wall clandestinely enough, it just another in a long list of scandals, and will be forgotten in two weeks when, something even worse is discovered. MAGA!
Gallup currently lists Republican Party affiliation (those willing to declare anonymously) at around 26%, which is about a percentage point above where the long-term trend would put it. I would venture to say that somewhere between a third and a half of CFSG’s approval rating, as reported by 538, is divided between people who feel compelled to support the President whosoever he might be and people what flat-out DGAF.
Buck, Reagan’s duplicity and Trump’s duplicity are two different things. Reagan’s lies and paper trails took effort to trace, and his lackeys largely got the blame because he appeared too senile to be that kind of mastermind, so he had plausible deniability. Trump just outright lies and is incapable of scheming anything that long-term. He ignores anything clandestine and broadcasts his visits to secret military bases on Twitter. He wants everybody on Earth to see that he got his way, temper tantrums and all.
For those that don’t have hypocrisy fatigue, I find it amusing that the GOP felt the need for the House to launch a special investigation into the disparate handling of the Clinton e-mail scandal and the Trump scandal cornucopia by the FBI.
If one were to point out their disparate standards for impeaching a Dem over a blowjob while giving a pass to their own traitor, or if one were to point out the disparate frequency if GOP utterances of the word “character” now vs 20 years ago, they would all be like, “Huh, did you say something?”
Congratulations. Hope you like your new office, Mr. Attorney General.
Someone get this to Trump.
Yeah; pretty revolting.
I’m amazed there weren’t more campaign ads that highlighted the hypocrisy–there must be plenty of footage of GOP stalwarts solemnly intoning their horror that Bill lied about getting that blowjob, and then years later, saying ‘pass’ when asked to comment on Trump’s gazillion lies.
Of course some of the present-day stalwarts weren’t in Congress 20 years ago–they were used-car salesmen or telemarketers or whatever. So maybe that’s why there weren’t more of those ads.
The Office of Personnel Management says that the release of their memo suggesting federal employees do chores to pay their rent was an “inadvertent” release.
