Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

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!

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).

re: leaving enough room in tweets, remember that this is a president whose legal counsel (incidentally a member of a Boston-desecrating republican cover band) bases whole defenses on false and easily disprovable claims that the president was just out of characters and simply couldn't fit in a non-incriminating message. so basically any tweet could possibly be any other tweet

So his point is the news, like wrestling, is fake, and he excels in kicking some ass in fake events only? Ok, then.

This is the worst episode of Black Mirror.

today is the day donald trump became president

He's gotten especially fixated on cable news the past fee days. It's weird.

Ok lol

This feels disturbingly accurate:

There is no president, there is a delusional old man who tweets and occasionally performs the ceremonial parts of the job.

This is pretty powerful

cried a lot reading this. i cringed for him when he started to go off the rails a bit during the third lecture. seems like a decent, ordinary guy who has to deal with things no one should have to. incredible reporting.

ugh this story

that's an incredible piece.

yes.

So apparently Trump is gonna try and sneak into England for a visit, because he wants to avoid protests. Except a) the Independent is already reporting the plan, and b) it's being said that if it happens, it will happen as part of his trip to France for Bastille Day, which is July 14. So if he's going to "sneak in," it's going to be either the day before or the day after. I'm pretty sure the protesters will be able to mobilize and execute on that kind of notice, don't you?

That Ziggy thing is killing me, because C-SPAN is literally nothing but a live feed of congress most of the time.

Not only that, Trump seems to think that was an actual Ziggy cartoon, not a fake he plucked off the internet.

unperson, these are people who can't keep Russian photographers out of the Oval Office, of course they can't imagine protesters being able to add and subtract from a specific and obvious date

Did Trump actually tweet the ziggy cartoon? I can't find it on his feed

i fully endorse the president doing more skulking.

hate to break it to you but the ziggy tweet is actual fake news

I believe it is meant to be an example of Literal Things That Could Happen and as such has poignancy becz Ziggy!

reading this, about just one pesticide that Pruitt has delayed action on, which seems to cause developmental problems in children:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/15/health/pesticides-epa-chlorpyrifos-scott-pruitt.html

and actually literally thinking there needs to be a Nuremberg trial for these people.

Spiders from Mars feeling very left out rn

Oh and

There is no president

THERE IS ONLY ZUUL

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!

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?
