Like his base ACTUALLY cares about the troops?
I wish a Democrat would actually come out and say, “This isn’t about the wall. This is about whether we will let our country be led by fucking idiots.”
I don’t think that’s good PR, honestly.
Especially because Putin is no idiot.
Right - it isn’t wise to offend over sixty million voters so casually.
My issue is that it reframes the issue from “We oppose this policy because it’s terrible policy” and makes it sound more like “We oppose this policy because we hate Trump”. And regardless of how justified it is to hate Trump, that’s still not a good look to have, especially when there are much better reasons to oppose the policy than animosity towards Il Douche.
I agree. Thump wants this to be a playground brawl. The Dems have to keep on being the adults.
Madame Speaker has this. Just let her work.
Roger that!
I’m more interested in what Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi (or as I call her “Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi”) has to say than the spokesperson for a brothel.
Oh please. That nitpick is so microscopic I can barely see it. Madame is French-ish, but hardly incorrect. :rolleyes:
I think Zakalwe was making fun of Trump making the same mistake - and not in a tweet but an actual letter.
Okay. I’ll buy that. Something so subtle should have had at least a footnote.
Were it not for Trump having made the same mistake on official communications, then I would not have said anything at all. Was more poking fun at the doofus in chief than the poster.
though it is entirely possible (probable even, now that I look at it again) that Zalwake made the “mistake” on purpose as a poke at the id given birth through a rectum.
And there is Exhibit C, this clip from Machete Kills. They will just drive under the wall, with the help of literal villains!
I confess that if I were POTUS, I might have made the same mistake. Of course, I would have competent staff and expect that they would have corrected it before it went out, but that’s just me.
Of course, since Trump didn’t likely actually dictate the letter (just the intent), it was likely a staff error. Or passive-aggressive dickery by his staff (tee-hee, we just called her a pimp!).
You add an ‘e’ as a joke and you get a half-dozen posts. Dear lord, how I love this place.
Many thanks to ThelmaLou for the initial defense, to k9bfriender for the belated recognition of the dig, and to Folacin for calling out just how damn ridiculous it is that the fucking Office of the POTUS made it in an official communication.
I like that. But in view of the mission of this message board, it’s worth noting that the etymology of “oligarch” actually breaks down into (from the Greek) “olig” (few) and “arch” (leader).
Lots of other “archs,” per Wiktionary:
[ul]
[li]acritarch[/li][li]anarch[/li][li]coloniarch[/li][li]diarch[/li][li]enomotarch[/li][li]exilarch[/li][li]heptarch[/li][li]heresiarch[/li][li]hierarch[/li][li]matriarch[/li][li]monarch[/li][li]myriarch[/li][li]myriarch[/li][li]mysteriarch[/li][li]navarch[/li][li]oligarch[/li][li]omniarch[/li][li]patriarch[/li][li]triarch[/li][li]xystarch[/li][/ul] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_words_suffixed_with_-arch
Clearly, the one to be is “Omniarch.” “Acritarch,”* not so much.
*Any small, non-acid-soluble (i.e. non-carbonate, non-siliceous) organic fossil that cannot be classified.
Slow news day…
It’s not as amusing but you got to admit, a breather now and then is nie.
