is it not pretty obvious that this is going to be an intentional nothingburger?

Read that as 'international nothingburger' (and house of pancakes).

The house is on fire, Trump is running around with a box of matches, and the GOP demands to know who called the fire department.

I think as a means of getting this stuff out to the probably mostly ignorant or at least agnostic public at one time, in one place, this is serving its purpose just fine.

gotta think that part if not all of 'voting trump #MAGA fuck the browns and the poors!' is identifying with trump. that train only goes so far, though, and at some point the fools who think they're embarrassed billionaires won't want to vicariously identify as compromised traitor pretend billionaires. but predictions of comrade combover's eventual demise have been proven wrong for decades now i guess

reggie (qualmsley), Monday, 20 March 2017 16:16 (seven years ago) link

i mean he certainly will EVENTUALLY have a demise, it's just too bad it wasn't via a distracted NYC cabbie in 1989

frogbs, Monday, 20 March 2017 16:24 (seven years ago) link

someone on twitter said that comey's voice is very soothing and, not gonna lie, i think they're right

Whitehouse was on Maher's show on Friday, and Maher asked him if he would run for President and he said no, and Maher failed to follow up with a "but your name is Whitehouse!" joke. Maher is a terrible comedian.

Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Monday, 20 March 2017 16:50 (seven years ago) link

well, yeah

King: Come on. [He’s pressing on a reported meeting with Trump about Steele’s dossier, the one with the golden showers.] It was you, Trump, Brennan and Clapper? Four people in the room, right? And it was leaked hours after that meeting about the dossier. It’s a small universe of people?

Comey: No comment bro. I can tell you.. it often turns out there are more people that know about something than you expected.

wtf

some of Jimmy Breslin's Trump columns... 1989:

It has been reported by reliable people, and my own ears, that Donald Trump says, "Between you and I." Of course this is the unmistakable line between those who care enough about their own language to learn the object of a preposition and those in need of remedial. When the unwashed get to the word "between" while speaking, the first thing their ear tells them is that "Between you and I" is right because it has a tonier sound to it, almost regal they imagine, than "between you and me." Therefore such people as Donald Trump say, "Confidentially, between you and I . . . "

...In his ad, which ran in all four of the city's newspapers, "Between You and I" Trump practically called for the death of the teenagers arrested for the rape and attack on the 28-year-old jogger in Central Park.

As the young woman is not dead and those arrested for her attack do not as yet even have a trial date, much less guilt established, his scream for vengeance could be considered premature by some.

At a time of shocking crime, it seems best to have authorities who in low, cold voices will persist, persist, persist and see that the guilty are surely and as swiftly as possible given proper punishment. Outside the courthouse, beware always of the loudmouth taking advantage of the situation and appealing to a crowd's meanest nature.

And here yesterday is what "Between You and I" Trump had in his ad in every paper in this city:
"Mayor Koch has stated that hate and rancor should be removed from our hearts. I do not think so. I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes . . . Yes, Mayor Koch, I want to hate these murderers and I always will. I am not looking to psychoanalyze them or understand them, I am looking to punish them . . . I no longer want to understand their anger. I want them to understand our anger. I want them to be afraid."

Such violent language sounds as if it were coming from someone who walks around with bodyguards....

(the accused in the Central Park case, as you may know, weree later exonerated)
