omg they still haven't taken his phone away

Clearly he got his hands on a burner. Trump probably has phones stashed around the house like alcoholics do with bottles. And obviously the way Trump gained an inch is lifts. Duh. Presto: no longer obese. If he gets a pair of Tom Cruise Frankenstein shoes maybe he'll claim he's a great basketball player, too.

Some outlets reported that Bush was privately supporting Johnson, and The New York Daily News reported he'd hinted at his support for Johnson publicly at a Manhattan Institute event this week, mouthing the Libertarian's name to someone who said he didn't want to vote for either Trump or Clinton. Bush denied that report, though.

"I don't think so," Bush said when reporters asked if he had done that, according to CNN.

lol Jeb is voting for Stein

"Well, if everybody didn't vote, that would be a pretty powerful political statement, wouldn't it?" Bush said, according to CNN.

this man is considered the smartest Bush.

Why aren't people just spreading vicious and obviously fake rumors about Trump 24/7? Is it that whole 'go high' thing?

the photoshopped "#TrumpWon was launched in Russia" tweet got a lot of traction

Trump is like the Last Emperor, raised in privilege, completely oblivious to the way the world works and how it has changed around him. And now he finally leaves his palace and learns that everything he has been told has been a lie, or inaccurate. So he freaks out and thinks he's the only one who's right, and no one is brave enough to tell him otherwise. It's easier to drum up a fake poll that says he's winning, or leak some falsehood to one of his right wing propaganda publications so that he can site "sources."

The best end to all of this would be a humiliating loss, followed by criminal charges, followed by knowledge that all his useful idiots have embezzled his wealth down to nothing.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 September 2016 14:25 (seven years ago) link

Well, at least we know he'll be ready for that 3am call.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 September 2016 14:27 (seven years ago) link

I still think the reason Trump is working on a property in DC is he thinks he's going to be president and wants a place to hide that hair guy he keeps in Trump Tower, the doctor who gives him happy pills, and whatever other dark shit he doesn't feel comfortable having on the record. So probably... a lot of stuff.

dr. mercurio arboria (mh 😏), Friday, 30 September 2016 14:28 (seven years ago) link

would president trump prioritise continuing a twitter beef over launching a nuke or vice-versa?

meat emissions (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 30 September 2016 14:29 (seven years ago) link

I'd imagine he plans on making those people at Twitter add a 'Nuke' button to his account.

The fact that Trump is completely unaware of who's pwning who in this whole thing is blowing my mind. He's learned nothing since the Khan feud. He's like Sideshow Bob, stepping on the rakes over and over and over.

how much complete fucking horseshit do you think his daughters have had to put up with?

I would guess that is why he "forgets" to recognize a daughter, her mother actually has reasonable ideas and is insulated from his abuse

haven't been really following this thread much so sorry if this is already news but i can't even . . . did the republican congress (a senate who refuses to hold supreme court justice hearings) really just vote to let foreign governments sue our foreign-stationed troops? what the fuck is wrong with them?

Oh my Christ, that is next fucking level.

Senate: "Let's make this thing a law!"
President: "That's a bad idea, and here are the reasons why I think it's a bad idea."
Senate: "Yay, we passed the bill!"
President: "I'm going to veto your bill because it's a bad idea, and here are the reasons why I think it's a bad idea."
Congress: "Fuck you, we veto your veto and BOOM! It's a law!...Oh, wait, we didn't realize that there were reasons why this was a bad idea. Thanks, Obama!"

β€œEverybody was aware of who the potential beneficiaries were but no one had really focused on the potential downside in terms of our international relationships. And I think it was just a ball dropped,” McConnell said. β€œI hate to blame everything on him and I don’t, but it would have been helpful if we had a discussion about this much earlier than the last week.”

mcconnell is such piece of shit

Yeah, I kinda feel about that the way I feel about the prospect of wildlife collectively rising up to wipe out and devour humankind. It would suck for us but it wouldn't exactly be unjust.

it is from the GOP's point of view, remember how enthusiastic they are about the UN, World Court, etc.

A word about fundraising e-mails:

I do not care if you've been up all night crunching fundraising numbers. You are using an extremely over-familiar tone considering I DO NOT KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE. I have already decided I am voting for the candidate you represent and thusly do not require 20 "updates" from the team each day.
