POTUS Trump Thread

[dubs]

The buying Greenland thing came from the source whose job it is to make up random shit to draw attention away from the actual bad shit and he got really bored and uncreative.

that.....won't work

counterpoint: it will

[identikit]

This is the first thing Trump has done that has shocked me in a while. Why bother with a democracy anymore at this point?

It terrifies me on several levels. I'm an Austrian German jew living in a Chicago neighborhood with a lot of African American muslims. I'm extremely happy here, I feel much safer than I ever did in Berlin, we get invited to family feasts celebrating Muslim holidays, and it gave me so much hope that I might still see it in my lifetime that this particular division ends.
Reading the Potus write THEY HATE ALL JEWS about two Muslim congress women while he worked with no other than Steve fucking Bannon is making me feel completely insane. The same guy who moved the US embassy in Israel and made it his priority to pour gallons of gas on the fire.

He used twitter to put the life of two congress women in danger. That's what this is. I wanted to say, "yea, this is the first thing in quite some time that shocked me, too", and then I remembered that my jaw dropped when he posed for a picture with the baby whose parents were murdered in the El Paso shooting. Thumbs up. Hasn't been that long after all.

that.....won't work

See, I’ve thought this about so many things, and each and every time seemingly they come out on top regardless of how hamfisted and incompetent their approach is.

“What? The Attorney General is claiming executive privilege on behalf of the president even though immediately after questioning the white house’s official position was that the president wasn’t claiming EP? But wait, knowing that there’s an actual procedure you have to follow to have any questioning exist with those barriers, shouldn’t the Democrats have kind of a slam dunk as far as pointing this out to the AG and reminding him that failure to cooperate would result in contempt charges and massive, let’s say a million dollars a day in fines until he does cooperate? Even if they don’t do that, shouldn’t they do literally anything to compel the AG to cooperate? But they didn’t, at all, and let him repeatedly claim a special circumstance that he can not in any way himself claim and the guy who he’s claiming it for says he explicitly isn’t asking for said circumstance? But they didn’t do anything? Wait why wouldn’t they?”

It’s constant.

“You have no choice but to vote for me, because your 401(k)’s down the tubes, everything’s going be down the tubes. So whether you love me or hate me, you gotta vote for me,” he said.

Ominous no matter how you slice it.

That also means that if it goes down before then, he's already explicitly tied it to his presidency, but of course that won't matter.

Off topic currently, but I'm wondering if Trump will still continue with this Israel shit now that at least Tlaib is allowed entry to visit her grandmother in the West Bank? I'm just wondering if I've completely lost it, thinking he will. Maybe tie her grandmother to "Palestinian terrorists" on twitter. At this point I'm having a hard time to draw the line what insane shit this fucker would or wouldn't do.

he will absolutely continue to say the most vile things about Omar and Tlaib and it will get worse every month and remain constant even while he is campaigning in a general against someone else

[Shotfrog]

I don't know how they keep their heads up. I would crumble into dust if I were in their shoes.

[tgk]

it will be so, so, so satisfying to see omar and tlaib get re-elected

[Self Destructive Zone]

I love Omar and Tlaib and hate our stupid president. Just my two cents as a veteran

[farmer]

daniel dale is prob my fav trump updater

[identikit]

Ha, I'm glad to read that. Glad is maybe not the right word, everything around this makes me miserable, but I'm glad she isn't going.

[Self Destructive Zone]

interesting long read

This thread moves quickly but I need to air the anger this caused.

I realise I am some sort of shit-Catholic quasi-hippy, but this idea held by the rich that they feel some obligation to the environment boils my piss.

‘To blame population growth instead of consumerism [for environmental degradation] ... is an attempt to legitimize the present model of distribution, where a minority believes it has the right to consume in a way which can never be universalized.’

— Pope Francis, Laudato si

The super shit part about that being, of course, that I am the minority and not just some mega-rich freaks who can't abide other humans.

When I worked for a moving company, I helped a non-profit she funded (carrying capacity) move offices. The guy in charge came up to me and listed a bunch of socialists and neocon thinkers and then asked me if I noticed any similaritie (they were Jewish). He liked me because I was white and blue eyed and blondish no less and tipped me $300. He also talked to me incessantly about how they’re ere an anti-immigrant and implicitly shite supremacist organization and that they had to go with the environmental angle to fly under the radar. This was 2012 or so. In any case, I don’t think these assholes feel any obligation to the environment at all. Just racism

would love to hear that vm

[Self Destructive Zone]

I saw an interview with that support and surprise, he is less fat than trump and also not particularly fat for a white American man his age. Also, no surprise, he was all “he thought I was a protestor, but I was on the good side!” And just a complete fucking trump worshipping child who is fine being interviewed by Fox News as the guy trump called fat at a rally

[goofjan]

this man will be joining the administration in less than a week.

[Barthes Starr]

for trump "start exercising" is essentially equivalent to "kill yourself"

[Shotfrog]

Why did I look at the replies

[tgk]

You wanted righteous indignation but only saw the indignant right

[jewels]

I thought Trump didn’t believe in exercise. I got him good. He’s not going to survive me pointing out his hypocrisy.

[whatabout tim]

he will absolutely continue to say the most vile things about Omar and Tlaib and it will get worse every month and remain constant even while he is campaigning in a general against someone else

Even (likely) future assassination attempts won't stop his belligerent racist ramblings.
