Wonder how he feels about Downfall.
I wonder why he didn’t say that Mutiny On The Bounty was one of his favorite books?
Ha-ha, just kidding, Republican Trump supporting dipshits! I don’t wonder at all why he didn’t lie that way, instead.
But while he was exonerated of misdeeds by a military court, didn’t they still find that he had been the wrong person to be named a captain? Or was that just in the movie? It’s been awhile.
I’m not entirely sure Trump caught the main plot of that movie…
… And then later on Bligh got himself a jail cell during the New South Wales Rum Rebellion. He was a competent sailor and a world-class navigator, but for some reason he managed multiple times to piss off his subordinates to the point they overturned his authority and sent him packing.
Not sure he’s a commander a leader to aspire to emulate…
Why not? His current role model seems to be Jabba the Hutt.
Sorry. Anatomically Challenged Ken.
Knowing the way Loser Donald thinks, I imagine the point he got from the movie was “Captain Bligh was a great and strong leader, and the haters and losers (of which there were many) were very unfair to him and spread Fake News to make him look bad. Sad!”
From most accounts, he was actually an able naval officer and sailor. Not nearly as harsh as his peers or as he’s been made out to be by the Pitcairn mutineers and the Bounty’s log tends to bear this out.
That said, he wasn’t a great governor as compared to naval officer, which the Rum Rebellion showed.
Trump is notably averse to reading, so all he knows of the actual Bligh are probably from movies and even there, he’s showing his usual and remarkable lack of insight if he thinks Bligh got the best of the mutineers.
“At potential” Ken.
So, no more funding for WHO.
Just watched that live.
Fucking moron.
No. Al Gore probably would have had two terms, but he would not have been able to prevent the collapse of '08, so you would have to include at least a full term of Rmoney, possibly two. On the upside, Barack Obama would be President today, but if this were the tail end of his second term, I could not begin to guess who would be taking over for him next year.
I hope Xi picks up the US’s tab.
All this on the WHO because they corrected him on the Chinese Virus thingy. They offered us tests in January, the WH said no.
Now he does this.
I wouldn’t mind if the WHO went ballistic. Like, “You know what? No funding from US is fine for us. Matter of fact, we’re not offering any help from now on. We’ve asked all Americans working for us to resign. Remove the phony fucker from his job and we’ll help again.”
And he’s going to “let” the governors decide when to reopen. Why doesn’t at least one of these governors come out and say Chump is a horse’s ass, in those exact words?
Because he can make things tough for you. He signs an executive* fuck you *order, your people suffer, you take him to court. Sit back and relax, might be a while.
It’s now clear to me that he wants this disease at its worst when Election Day happens. Putin must be proud.
As much shit as I and others have talked about Bernie Sanders, I also have to turn around and give him some credit. It’s very possible, if not likely, that his staying in the race motivated some left-leaning voters to come out and participate in a race they might otherwise not have voted in.
The Washington Post just reported that the fuckstick in chief managed to get his name printed on the stimulus checks, first time ever something like this has been done. Because, you know, Trump.
How exactly is he going to be able to do this? Congress controls the pursestrings, not the president.
