ugggggghhhhh

Another month in hell

A wonderful summary by John Cole ("previously, on...")

But the important thing to remember in all of this is that while all this is going on, Republican operatives are using the chaos to fulfill life long goals.

The Kris Kobach/Hans von Sapovsky voter purge, the destruction of medicaid, destroying longstanding alliances and trade agreements, immigrations “reforms,” stacking the courts, gutting the EPA and actively using the government to attack CLimate Science, etc. It’s nearly impossible to keep track of all the evil shit that is going on, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Trump doesn’t know of 99% of the shit that is happening.

New thread? But I wasn't done laughing at covfefe ! Guys.... Covfefe! Covfefe! Covfefe!

it wouldn’t surprise me if Trump doesn’t know of or care about 99% of the shit that is happening.

covfefe is not dead, sleepingbag, it only sleeps

mark your calendars - just three more weeks and this horrifying nightmare presidency will be one-eighth of the way over!

or one-sixteenth

covfefe is not dead, sleepingbag, it only sleeps

"In his house at R'lyeh, dead Covfefe waits dreaming"

kayfabe covfefe :)

MLS fans should ditch the old world-famous "ole, ole ole ole, ole, ole" and go with "covfefe, covfefe! covfefe, covfefe." It's more American.

how is covfefe pronounced? I like "cahv-fay-fay"

I say Co-fee-fee

COVE FEI FEI

as in Wong Fei-hung

a shame this thread was named before this https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2017/07/01/it-has-to-be-something-but-it-could-be-infinity-trump-ponders-space-in-strange-ceremony/?utm_term=.54ae91ced78b

“At some point in the future, we’re going to look back and say how did we do it without space?”

“Infinity and beyond!” Aldrin said.

Everyone laughed.

Then Trump added some lines of his own.

“This is infinity here,” he said. “It could be infinity. We don’t really don’t know. But it could be. It has to be something — but it could be infinity, right?”

I mean had Buzz Aldrin been a little later you wouldn’t have had the Deep Impact. He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart. He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the meteors, he said, "There’s no reason for this." People don’t realize, you know, infinity, if you think about it, how much is that? People don’t ask that question, but how much is infinity? Why could that one not have been worked out?

Trump should allocate billions toward the discovery of infinity. I mean, you never know, right? It could be right there. Maybe it's even been there all along!

I support the President ordering his entire Cabinet to drop everything they're doing and begin counting to infinity, no matter how long it takes. Maybe it could be suggested to him that this was precisely the kind of decisive action that Failing Obama was too chicken to take.

Remarks by the President Signing an Executive Order on the National Space Council

So, I just want to tell you that we are now going to sign an executive order, and this is going to launch a whole new chapter for our great country. And people are very excited about it and I can tell you, I’m very excited about it. Thank you all very much. (Applause.)

(The order is signed.)

COLONEL ALDRIN: Infinity and beyond. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: This is infinity here. It could be infinity. We don’t really don’t know. But it could be. It has to be something -- but it could be infinity, right?

Okay.

Jeez, you guys are all approximately 1.5 hours ahead of me....

lol this is his pinned tweet

I am thinking about changing the name #FakeNews CNN to #FraudNewsCNN!

I still can't believe Donald Trump is the President of the United States.

This is pretty powerful

Is he planning to start a war with North Korea as the ultimate diversion tactic?

Starting a war would build loyalty/goodwill among jingoistic idiots, redouble the divide between "patriots" and "globalist cucks," and give Trump some serious conflict to sink his teeth into as a distraction from the unbearable emptiness of his being.

Win. Win. Win.

The "strategic patience is over" line really bothered me. It's probably just more bullshit but still terrifying.

trump starting a catastrophic idiotic war is one of my biggest fears. it seems obvious that he'll do it. he has voices whispering in his ear telling him to do it.

HAPPY SATURDAY NIGHT THO

NK regime understands particularly well that having the serious ability to fight back is their best guarantee of survival, no matter what bluster Trump can dish out. War would mean hundreds of thousands dead in the first couple of weeks. They're even strategically hardened against nukes and could inflict plenty of damage even after a nuclear strike. If Trump gets all upset at the sight of a few Syrian kids getting bombed, he ought to break down into a weepy puddle on the floor at the thought of the masses of Korean kids he'd personally kill, maim and traumatize by starting a shooting war in Korea.

oh that's different

He doesn't care about Syrian kids. He only cares about getting attention by being the biggest asshole possible. Who knows what kind of reasoning will go into his military decision making.

If he provokes Kim Jong Un to commit atrocities he will probably say that proves he was right to attack and say the crooked fake media thought Kim was just fine.

I mean, who knows. Hopefully no one tries to talk him into some major conflict. There are plenty possible ones he could pick -- NK is just an example based on his recent statement.

We've already collectively othered the people and leaders of North Korea (see ILX thread "North Korea people getting fucked over for life is hilarious!" or whatever - although i will grant that the kim jong family is just fucking ridiculous and it is sort of funny), so I don't envision many people crying about the dead, let alone trump. beyond perhaps the diehard iraq war protesters, no one really gave a shit about all the civilians who died there. when people talk about what a terrible mistake that was, they're generally referring to the geopolitical consequences. GWB is a colossal piece of shit but he's probably spent more time thinking about the people that died as a result of his decisions than just about anyone else. although who knows, maybe everyone is constantly thinking about the people who were slaughtered but don't want to say anything because it never feels like a good time to bring it up. in my experience whenever that topic comes up people are just like "yeah...man that was fucked up *stare blankly for 2 seconds* i like hot dogs" or whatever and then it's over. anyway, my point is that no one cared about the dead civilians in iraq, and we've already been trained from birth to think that everything in NK is a joke and they have it coming. and that's like, for a normal USA person. trump is something else. i get tired of everyone psychologizing him but er yeah i don't think he cares about anyone else in the universe so i sure as hell don't think he really cares about who is going to die whenever he tells "the generals" to do something, or more accurately, whenever he allows "the generals" to do whatever they've been wanting to do for a long time

Maybe this will become law before it's too late.

Buuuuuuut probably not

Cuz if there's anything Trump respects, it's the law

Kinda feeling like we jumped the gun on the thread title: "MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL" is clearly the better option.

My use of social media is not Presidential - it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017

I was wondering how fleeting each new fiasco would be in the olight of the next one.
He'll probably say something even more odd before the day is out.
But yeah Modern Day Presidential does have a certain ring about it, maybe preserve it as a new word for potential nadir?

If he leaves enough room in a tweet for the full "Make America Great Again!," instead of #MAGA or whatever, does he give himself two extra cookies?

this thread title gets 'hamilton' stuck in my head

"Modern Day Presidential" isn't a thread title, it's an album title.

“Whoa,” Lee wrote on Twitter following a voice vote that pushed through her amendment to sunset the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF).

Feels legit tbf until we find out what will replace it

CNN is fake, but wrestling is real

I couldn't have come up with "ward heeler."

I could have! One of the great 20th-century American jobs.

x-D chess was also used by liberals re Obama who couldn't accept that he was a perpetual-war neoliberal

There was a Spy piece some years ago in which the author managed to get several people in Congress to comment forcefully on the civil war in Freedonia or some such.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12— What should the United States do to stop what's going on in Freedonia?

Asked that question, a number of House freshmen, clearly not fans of the Marx Brothers, offered answers that included "take action" and "it's a different situation than the Middle East."

Not one got the joke.

The joker was Spy magazine, whose staff revived the sovereign but fictitious nation of Freedonia from "Duck Soup," the 1933 Marx Brothers movie.

Posing as the host of a New York radio talk show, Spy's staff called about 20 first-term House members and, after a series of innocuous questions, asked, "Do you approve of what we're doing to stop what's going on in Freedonia?" or "Do you approve of what we're doing to stop ethnic cleansing in Freedonia?"

The responses, apparently based on the assumption that the questioner was asking about Bosnia, came readily.

Representative Corrine Brown, Democrat of Florida, said she approved of what the United States was doing in Freedonia, and added, "I think all of those situations are very, very sad, and I just think we need to take action to assist the people."

Representative Jay Inslee, Democrat of Washington, was candid. "I have to be honest with you, I'm not familiar with that proposal," he said. "But it's coming to the point now that a blind eye to it for the next 10 years is not the answer."

Representatative Steve Buyer, Republican of Indiana, said, "Yeah, it's a different situation than the Middle East."

Spy's national editor, Jamie Malanowski, characterized the responses as "completely understandable."

"In campaigning," he said of the lawmakers, "they are asked a lot of dumb questions, and they are all used to supplying answers."

Anyway. Has Trump taken credit for the Olympics in LA yet?

trump is against the olympics on principle - all those dumb athletes needlessly depleting their finite stores of physical energy. sad!

I don't know if Trump has taken credit yet but I did see some gloating on r/The_Donald about how it was something Obama couldn't get done. Only a matter of time until it trickles up and Trump is retroactively taking credit for the Lake Placid Winter Olympics or some shit like that

Could have sworn he preemptively bragged a few weeks ago ...

Working hard to get the Olympics for the United States (L.A.). Stay tuned!
4:46 AM - 11 Jul 2017

By the way, the most shocking thing about Trump is that we've got some 70 year old idiot who probably can't use email boasting of his mastery of social media, and yet some internet savvy 12 year old hasn't clowned him yet. Grandpa+stupid+asshole you'd think would make him a pretty ripe target for bored kids.

That's when Mitt will re-enter the picture; since he couldn't talk about health care, that was his #1 selling point in 2012. He can be Trump's Olympics guy--there's no one Trump would love to jerk around more for a few weeks before firing him.

the smartest dumb move would be to offer some olympic figurehead role to caitlyn jenner

Probably a better than average chance Trump will be dead by 2028.

probably a better than average chance he'll take the rest of us with him

2028 Post-Apocalympics

I'm already shooting for the gold in food hoarding.

just realised it's august, someone wanna start a new thread?

i'm such a douchebag, nobody loves me
he's such a douchebag, dumped by his family

sorry

Possible thread title, Trump's last tweet yesterday: "A great day at the White House!"

as true yesterday as it ever was, and i'm sure it'll be just as true during august

Somebody better jump on it before I get the opportunity to make everyone look at 'covfefe' for another month.

Trump, August 2017: A great day at the White House!

Aw, dammit.

felt a little bit wrong to be starting the new thread as a non-usa resident but fuck if i'm gonna be forced to look at 'covfefe' every day for another month

also how was covfefe only a month ago, i feel like about four years' worth of news has happened since then

covfefe

During the Stephen Colbert Russian week somebody said that covfefe was a Russian word meaning something embarrassing or similar. That was just a joke wasn't it?

nyet

it would be rad if we could have a nomination process that didn't involve poisoning the well three years in advance for people who haven't even declared their intentions. If she decides to run, I'm perfectly happy to weigh the merits of Kamala Harris against other candidates who have also decided to run, and then select the person I like best in the primary and hope they win the nomination, but then no matter who actually wins the nomination I will almost definitely vote for the Democrat because I don't want four more fucking years of Trump or Pence or Ivanka or Ben Sasse or whoever the fuck those assholes end up settling on. but no, let's go ahead and draw our lines in the sand now so we can make good and certain that whoever gets the nod for the Dems in 2020, turnout will be sufficiently depressed that we can get a full eight years of this good stuff we've been getting for the past six months.

Bernout

I've never seen even a fictional depiction of anyone who acted so consistently guilty as Trump does wrt the Russian allegations. And he almost certainly has no idea of how guilty his own actions have made him look, completely independent of any other evidence.

^^^^^ dude is so clueless about "optics", it's incredible. even more incredible is that how he has reacted to Russia stuff hasn't made 100% of people go "uh ok guess there's a There there after all". Like you couldn't try to look more guilty than he has.

Trump, August 2017: A great day at the White House!

Trump, August 2017: A great day at the White House! (no www)

I had to know. Depending on how one transliterates the e in cofefe, it can have a number of meanings in Russian:

e as in me: кофефе = coffee
e as in met: кофэфэ = cafe
e as in roses, or the i in hit: кофыфы = socks
e as in yes: кофифи = cofifi/meaningless

can we lock this ?

Mind, we should run that past ShariVari or someone with more than a 6 week HS summer program decades ago.

omg new thread has been linked like five times y'all are killin me

tbf, they are closing old business here. I hope to never see the c-word in the new thread.

Bump

What's new guys

Trump, August 2017: A great day at the White House!

adminz plz lock thxbye

Yeah I think the Colbert thing may have actually been to do with the word meaning meaningless. Which seems rather too fitting. Much like everything else DJT says innit?
