So we began the week with Trump still in Democratic Hoax mode; then Wednesday, we had the botched teleprompter reading, mumbling about “foreign viruses” and stopping air travel for some Europeans. Then on Friday we’re in national emergency.
At some point we’re going to get an insider account of how Trump was dragged kicking and screaming across the finish line. It’ll be fascinating. It should come out next week.
I was wondering how Trump’s allies would be reacting, since everyone who was yelling “Democratic hoax” last week has been left bare-assed exposed. So I watched a few minutes of Hannity.
Totally in line with Trump’s decisive leadership, he presented a rat-tat-tat timeline of the crisis with dates and actions: Dec 2019 - virus identified. Feb 2, 2020: public health emergency declared. Feb 15, 2020: air travel from China suspended. Yada yada. Conveniently leaving out everything Trump actually said on the subject.
He then pivoted to how 100,000 people died of H1N1 due to the botched response by the Obama-Biden administration.
There always has to be a way to blame Obama.
Well I started a thread about catch phrases in movies and TV shows that we quote. And I was going to post the following rant there but thought it was too extreme so I am writing it in the pit. The movie is Planes, Trains and Automobiles and the rant is about the fucking…fuck… how to describe the fucking fuck?
I am fucking pissed about our fucking President who keeps doing and saying fucking stupid fucking things and I have never wished anyone to fucking die except maybe fucking Osama fucking bin Laden but I wish this fucking excuse for a fucking human being would at least fucking go the fuck away and in a just fucking world would spend his fucking last years in a fucking jail being fucked by fucking Sean Hannity while sucking Kellly Anne’s fucking strap-on fucking dick.
And that is too good for this fucking fuck.
Don’t know if this has been posted yet, but Here’s a marvelous New Yorker cover.
Spot on - too true and too hilarious at the same time.
I would have thought that even an abject imbecile like il Doofus would know better than to call attention to the state of the stock market, but apparently I’ve underestimated him again:
As noted before, Trump doesn’t want to do the actual job of president, he just wants to play president at his rallies and on unscripted TV where he can boast about himself and air his greivances.
It’s like an arsonist bragging that he helped put out the fire.
Well, as long as you don’t actively HATE his supporters, I suppose this is copacetic…
Every time I think I understand how dumb that motherfucker is, he lowers the ante.
Yeah, it’s still down about 6,000 points from where it was a couple/few weeks ago. It’s around where it was a decade ago. :mad:
Thank you for reminding me of the excellent word “copacetic.” Seriously, I will remember it and use it in sentences from now on.
Let the link play and you will hear "excellent" in several languages.And now back to our regularly scheduled bashing of Trump.
That sums up Trump. Unless he will be the guy wandering into a supermarket screaming about socialism
Yet another lie and “Obama did it!” and “I’ve done testing like no President has ever done testing.”
As has been said: when your party takes credit for the rain, don’t be surprised if they get blamed for the drought. Except Donald doesn’t accept blame, as he said yesterday.
At what point does his behavior stop being sociopathic and start being psychopathic?
I haven’t been this impressed with US leadership since it ignored a PDB warning of a terrorist attack then responded to that attack by invading the wrong country.
There is no doubt anymore that Corona-Del-Lago was a major disease vector.
(Sorry, I just wanted to say ‘Corona-del-lago’.)
Luke Skywalker tweeted this observation:
A retweet quoted Bart Simpson: “It wasn’t me.”
And the final line in that scene? The woman at the rent-a-car counter tells the protagonist: “You’re fucked”. Seriously, that’s what I hear whenever that piece of crap in the White House now opens his mouth.
