I’m pretty sure that I am working harder over this holiday weekend than the president of the United States.

After the US gets rid of Trump what will be done with the fifty-six million Nazis? This seems a nearly permanent liability.
West Germany did okay.
Then we have our work cut out for us:
I believe this is a long overdue conversation Americans need to have. I travelled all over this country and saw its working-class facing side up close; this is not a new problem.
Not strange. Not strange at all.
Has anyone asked Bob Gates or Condi or James Baker about their “recommendation”, where it came from, and why they pushed it? Their ties to Exxon/Rosneft explain some of it, and I’m certainly willing to entertain the idea that this is where the nefariousness ends because our elites are corrupt/greedy/stupid. But still. His nomination and his recommendation thereof never made any sense.
All of Trump’s Cabinet nominees were arch villains, but from jump street Secretary Of State EXXON was the nomination which enraged me most. And every single Republican in the Senate voted aye to bring open corruption and incompetence to State.
It’s like the Parties aren’t the same or something.
I am sick of seeIng that fat fuck playing golf.
Yes, national holiday, he gets vavation time, blah blah blah. Obama played golf, too. But not a hundred times in his first year. And not while the country is under siege internally and externally.
Send this fraud off to prison and be done with him.
That was a trump co. business meeting. Tiger is designing a golf course for the donald. Another emoluments clause violation in ya face.
How about tennis?
And that’s 17 years ago — he’s much heavier now.
Oh, ick!
That has got to be the biggest butt I have ever seen. I’ll bet it is even bigger than Rosie O’Donnell’s.
The comments on the article are interesting.
I know the statistical meaning of political comment threads is intrinsically misleading and hard to judge. I know that the snotty, sophistic arguments mounted by Trump supporters in that sort of context aren’t representative of anything important — most of the time they’re just repeated FOX News points.
But it’s all troubling nonetheless (and, emotionally stressful to read) because of the sheer relentlessness of it all; the repetition of the same distorted, angry frameworks. The main themes — liberals have no actual arguments; we’re hypocrites; we’re bitter; we’re SJWs; we’re equally corrupt; here are some inaccurate African American stats — never change; they’ve been inculcated for years. But I really don’t know how to combat them. They can be dealt with one by one (as on the thread on that article) but ultimately it’s like a cinematic zombie attack; the sheer, dumb, endless brute-force attack eventually prevails.
I get ABC News live updates on Facebook. Sometimes images of Thanksgiving traffic jams across the nation are interesting to me because I’m an expat living in Asia. What I do notice is the legion of zombies from the Trump morgue getting nasty from the get-go on ABC stories about Pumpkin In Chief. There is often a flood of spelling mistakes, usage errors, and so on. “to, too, and even two” are commonly misplaced. I notice too (!) that sometimes people try to reason with the horde, but the error is to use anything resembling a post junior high school vocabulary word. A word like “duplicitous” wind shears their fool heads. “Disingenuous” would be utterly futile. They do understand “existential threat” because that sounds important. My only reservation is, why must all threats these days be existential? Couldn’t some of them be merely threats?
Agreed but I’m talking about the next level up — people who are a bit smarter (and have access to statistics and links to throw around) but are nevertheless true believers and Trump supporters. They’re harder to be contemptuous/dismissive of than are the really ignorant ones who can’t spell etc.
I love the responses Senator Sasse gets to his tweet here. Well-informed Americans keeping it real.
My very favorite: “You’re a photo op, bullshit kind of guy, eh?”
That is delicious! Most of the time, Twitter is a cesspool. But there are those times where those in power get called out on their shit. Love it.
