lol @ DOE banning the phrase "climate change" - if nobody says it, it won't happen!

just following good ol rick scott's lead in florida, the consensus best state

Breaking: Doe now requires employees to substitute the phrase "radical Islamic terrorism" for "climate change", thus hastening the fall of ISIS.

Trump asks roomful of women, "Have you heard of Susan B. Anthony? I'm shocked that you've heard of her."

I think she works at the same company as Frederick Douglass

"Susan B. Anthony...didn't have great tits, and it's hard to be a 10 without the tits."

"When I was first exposed to the work of Susan B. Anthony, I moved on it like a bitch"

can we not

ok ill change the subject - the mercers are helping fund a multi million dollar ad buy to shore up the presidents fee fees

Making America Great, a nonprofit run by Rebekah Mercer, one of Trump’s most influential donors, will begin airing $1 million in television ads on Wednesday, coupled with a $300,000 digital advertising campaign. The TV ads will run in the District of Columbia, along with ten states Trump carried in the presidential election where a Democratic senator is up for re-election in 2018: West Virginia, Wisconsin, Missouri, Michigan, North Dakota, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Montana and Pennsylvania. The digital campaign also will focus on voters in those states.

i'm 90% sure he's speaking tongue in cheek in that clip xxp

funnier to pretend otherwise

there's an article on RCP now that has a title "how North Korea could kill 90% of Americans"

By scaring them into giving their trust to Trump?

I'm still struck by a talk that was given at NUIG a couple of years after the millenium by a speaker who I think had been an ambassador to somewhere in the region of Korea. He was saying that having seen the level of technology the country posessed at the time a nuclear missile would probably be cobbled together by hand in the same way that the russian truck clones that proliferated in the country were.
Technology seemed to be stuck at a point at least 50 years behind everywhere else, probably much more.

I saw the footage from the North Korean 2015 flyover celebrating the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII on tv today where the flyover was by biplanes spelling out 70 and was reminded of that

Huh.

Granted, consider the source (in this case ultimately Newsweek). Still, huh.

would love for Trump to comment on that, it'd feel something like

Given the timing of the idea, I'm sure it could have reasonably dismissed as overreacting since hey, we all knew Trump had no chance, the Russians can't really fuck with the vote count, etc.

The administration's post-election decision to unload on Russia (GRIZZLY STEPPE!!!!) etc seems even more pathetic if that story is true

would love for trump to release his tax returns, like every other president since nixon. what's he hiding? why is it strange to ask?

his real first name is ARchibald and he doesn't want anybody to know

And just to be perfectly clear my entire body, every cell, mitochondrion, screamed WWWWWWTTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFFF reading that, right before remembering what we were all thinking in October.

yeah everybody was preoccupied with not giving Trump an excuse to say the election was "rigged" which that would have played into natch

For many reasons I hope this is accurate:

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/03/what-george-w-bush-really-thought-of-trumps-inauguration.html

Bush’s endearing struggle with his poncho at the event quickly became a meme, prompting many Democrats on social media to admit that they already pined for the relative normalcy of his administration. Following Trump’s short and dire speech, Bush departed the scene and never offered public comment on the ceremony.

But, according to three people who were present, Bush gave a brief assessment of Trump’s inaugural after leaving the dais: “That was some weird shit.” All three heard him say it.

stop linking to "the palmer report" for christ's sake

"The Amanda Palmer Report"

scads of legit stories per page there, with a convincing time line. i'm of the opinion though that donald trump is innocent, and anyone who thinks otherwise has bad taste

"Lol" at Ivanka being given a WH staff position. What a country.

Huh.

as O said to Yam after his inaugural address, "Good job."

piss on em all

He totally should've flipped him the double bird and said 'eat this shit, bitch!' and then launched into some wild air guitar.

yes i know Structural Monsters like POTUSes don't do that, OL, but thx for being 'grown up'

we'll see what happens when Pence gets sworn in

it's all in the delivery tho, could be obama said 'good job' while making the gas face and giving a thumbs-down

there is video! no dice

feels strange to say this but GWB was totally OTM

I'm reading Perlstein's Goldwater book atm, and the circumstances leading up to his nomination in '64 are so goddamn eerily familiar. There are long passages where you could swap out a few names and he'd be talking about 2016.

can't believe we haven't heard more about this 'good job' scandal

I'm finding the excellent Invisible Bridge hard work for similar reasons, too many depressing parallels

watching The_Donald have an identity crisis over this internet privacy thing has been pretty entertaining tbh

how can you stand to even look at that ridiculous sub?

I don't know that I could stand it, either, but it's probably important for at least some of us to stare into the deplorable sun and report back about what we saw before our eye sockets were reduced to smoking craters.

its tough but every time Trump punts on one of what I assume are their signature issues (for example weed legalization, or this) I always get the temptation to see how they're taking it. thus far it seems to be "actually, internet privacy is bad"

Rather bold of them in particular.

Trumpists would denounce breathing if their leader wrote an anti-respiration EO.

Ah, so you're saying we should encourage him.

frogbs I've also tried to go there when I was curious about how their universe is interpreting X, but after going there this morning... I'm having trouble seeing anything besides culty praise and desperate protection of their narrative. I wouldn't know where to look to find evidence of identity crisis, especially since I think they've removed the ability to sort by controversial (shocking).

It's like holding my breath as I sift through rancid garbage attempting to find spare change that may not even be there.

they all seem to think Trump is going to veto it. cuz he'd never sell out like that.

oh goody!

President Trump effectively declared war Thursday on the House Freedom Caucus, the powerful group of hard-line conservative Republicans who blocked the health-care bill, vowing to “fight them” in the 2018 midterm elections.

In a morning tweet, Trump warned that the Freedom Caucus would “hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don't get on the team, & fast." He grouped its members, all of them Republican, with Democrats in calling for their political defeat — an extraordinary incitement of intraparty combat from a sitting president.

xpost They will reconfigure their brains to justify and rationalize anything he says or does. That facility is what makes cult members cult members.

internecine republican warfare you say?

But it does indicate that Trump has learned a lesson about the importance of party unity - he's not going to go after the FC caucus guys - he actually managed to reign in his ego in an act of self-preservation, which is unusual.

Just a reminder that 'reigning in his ego' is not a thing he does.
