Trump speech live 01/08/2019: follow-along thread.

Another check from the NY Times:

I imagine Trump was dreaming last night of Obrador coming on-screen with a jumbo check straight out of Publisher’s Clearing House.

In pesos.

Mercifully short, thank God.

That comes on Friday.

Did you see the rebuttal? Pelosi and Schumer both taunted him about Mexico (not) paying.

What’s up with this bizarre claim he pulled out of his ass (maybe the smell is why he’s sniffing so much) that the Democrats asked him to change the design from concrete to steel?

IKR, where in hell did that come from? Maybe previous presidents told him that, too.

I just got a news alert from the New York Times that said “President Trump’s address on border security was at times misleading”.

I suppose they used the “at times” qualifier because it was only misleading during those times his mouth was actually open?

The previous presidents hanging on the walls, maybe.
Anyhoo, a few highlights from the Washington Post fact check:

(Actually, it’s two claims at that mendacity level: the four-Pinocchio (which I think now qualifies as a Bottomless Pinocchio now that the Post found it necessary to expand the scale for Trump) that Mexico was paying for the wall and the (dunno if formally rated) claim that NAFTA Version 1.001a is a “new trade deal” in any meaningful sense.)

I’m fucking livid about this “imagine if it were your child” shit (in regards to people being killed by illegal immigrants). Fucking livid. “Congress must act”. What about the hundreds of American children who are killed by Americans with guns? Who was calling for Congress to act on that?

Also the whole “drugs coming over the border are killing Americans.” So the answer is a wall. But guns in America killing Americans? “Criminals will get guns anyway.”

Fuck all of this. Suck fucking twisted “morality.”

Fact-checking even on Fox News…

My god. Finally, even on Fox “News,” someone said the emperor has no clothes.

Not only that, he’s hung like a hamster.

Twitter thread about his head being green-screened into the Oval Office.

That’s the tiniest toadstool I’ve ever seen!!

I guess it must have been a pretty decent speech if the criticism has already regressed to complaints about his genitals.

No, we first have to talk about his hair. Who pouffed that mess up tonight. I was laughing audibly. I cannot take the man seriously. I swear to God if he came on tv and said giant aliens had landed on the Whitehouse lawn I’d be laughing so hard I would miss it. Hes a joke.

This is a meme worthy post right here.

Well said.

Whad’ja think of the rebuttal?
