Oh my god....folks, he’s finally done it....the perfect tweet

To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle’, not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle’ Adam Schiff. Low ratings @CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!

It's frankly impressive that someone whose brain is rapidly approaching a state of maximum goo is still able to make his twitter thumbs function.

Like seriously: that's one of the fucking dumbest things any human has ever written.

I guess as an expression of a trapped rat desperately wearing its claws down to bloody nubs in a futile attempt to escape its slow-yet-assured demise, the 'English language run through a wood chipper' nature of that particular tweet is understandable.

meanwhile: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/9/26/20886038/trump-refugee-cap-executive-order

The United States will accept fewer refugees over the coming year than ever: 18,000 at most, down from a cap of 110,000 just two years ago. And a new executive order from President Donald Trump will allow state and local authorities to block refugees from settling in their areas.

The administration announced Thursday that it will lower the annual cap on refugees to 18,000, from 30,000 this year, in the coming fiscal year, which starts October 1. And local governments that do not have the resources to support refugees in becoming “self-sufficient and free from long-term dependence on public assistance” will be able to turn them away.

Okay so I think I've finally landed on 'driven out of country in disgrace, unable to find another country which will take him in, ultimately just eaten by wild dogs' as the fate I will upon him.

Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Friday, 27 September 2019 13:02 (four years ago) link

The National Rifle Association acted as a "foreign asset" for Russia in the period leading up to the 2016 election, according to a new investigation unveiled Friday by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon.

Drawing on contemporaneous emails and private interviews, an 18-month probe by the Senate Finance Committee's Democratic staff found that the NRA underwrote political access for Russian nationals Maria Butina and Alexander Torshin more than previously known — even though the two had declared their ties to the Kremlin.

why does every ILX thread turn into a variant of tentacle porn

On election night, Karen Pence refused to kiss her husband. “You got what you wanted, Mike,” she told him. “Leave me alone.” https://t.co/vljFqJw01o

This Is Just To Say

that is not
a hyphen
that you typed
in your tweet

and which
you somehow think
gives
your nonsense meaning

Forgive me
it's an apostrophe
that hides
other letters

is liddle' supposed to be pronounced "lid-lay" because that's how I'm reading it...

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 27 September 2019 15:50 (four years ago) link

That feeling you get when you flip on the bathroom light and a massive centipede scurries over your bare foot? That's the closest equivalent I can think of to the feeling I get from witnessing a full-grown human being grouse about someone misspelling Liddle'.

If that perfect phone call with the President of Ukraine Isn’t considered appropriate, then no future President can EVER again speak to another foreign leader!

I know we mock the whole "he's more unhinged than ever!" thing but I really think he's kicked it up to a previously unseen level of Trumpiness

admittedly I still love the phrase "very rude elevator screamers", I think its badass

If i were trump i’d try to make a deal to resign with limited legal culpability. However, i’d likely never get in the predicament of being a widely despised white nationalist demagogue caught abusing public office for personal gain.

sometimes think we could've saved the world if we'd only earlier lured trump to ILX so that he could just troll here instead of the world at large

In political discussions, would people side with ilx user redonaldtrump perversely because they don’t want to be on the same side of an argument as frederik b?
