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

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.

Manipulating news stories, dictating Jr.'s responses...it's just breathtaking.

Kelly will be interesting.

I'm a little worried actually, given I think the best think is for this administration to sit paralyzed in its own ineptitude.

Not necessarily saying he's suited to Washington or the job, but he's a military guy and if nothing else will demand respect and not take shit. And Trump, as much of a bully he is grew up in military schools, so he's kinda conditioned to defer to these guys.

I'm beginning to understand how Trump has gone bankrupt six times

Trump can't got a day without peeing in his bathtub, Kelly will have no real impact.

"I was just kidding" seems to be everyone in this world's best defense.

Before this is over somebody's gonna shoot someone and then say "It should have been obvious that my actions were meant as satire"

xxxpost I was thinking the same thing yesterday. For all his bloviation, Trump is ultimately a sniveling coward and, like all good bullies, he only throws his weight around with those he perceives as weaker. No way will he pull the passive aggressive shit on Kelly that he has on Sessions and Priebus because he most likely senses that Kelly can kick the living shit out of him. Trump has been rankled by McMasters, for instance, but he hasn't really said anything untoward about him or treated him with overt disrespect afaict.

So proud of our friends, the corporations. Can't wait for that money to start trickling and my job to start roaring.

Only the Fake News Media and Trump enemies want me to stop using Social Media (110 million people). Only way for me to get the truth out!

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

is he saying 110 million people want him to stop using social media cuz that number seems... low to me

xpost I'm not gonna relitigate the cognitive dissonance of conservatives again, but it really is astounding to me that anyone in a lower income bracket can look at someone who's demonstrated a lifetime of disinterest in anyone poorer than himself and who would tweet something like that and still convince themselves that he's got their back.

I think he's referring to his Twitter followers and the 109 million bots that appear to the casual eye to also be his Twitter followers.

the whole controversy is preposterous, these killings are obviously ironic

What the hell is this "problem solvers caucus" nonsense

wired's deadpan game is tight

hahahahaha

xp dude anybody could kick the shit out of trump, he's a mess. kellyanne conway could suplex him. he might have a power obsession that'll make him defer to kelly but the whole "trump as alpha" thing is a figment, literally anybody could flip him.

lots of people think "alpha" means, "somebody who is somehow in charge and likes to yell a lot"

yeah, clearly he's a fat old man who can't walk a few hundred yards without having to stuff his wheezing corpus into a golf cart, but he def thinks of himself as physically powerful - look at his ridiculous handshake-pull manoeuvre

But think of all that potential energy he's stored up by being completely sedentary for so long. Dude focuses his chi just right and he could hadouken somebody through a wall.

I'm willing to bet just about anyone could give him two for flinching.

president nofap

He was probably that kid who mouthed off until someone threated to fight him, at which point he'd curl up in a ball and urinate and vomit all over himself and send the other kids reeling back in disgust.

(It's an effective technique, let me tell you.)

has anyone done any research to see how many holes of golf he actually plays? I keep thinking it can't be more than six

Iirc he usually does 18 holes in around 30 strokes, and then spends the rest of the day traversing the potomac.

feel like he's more Sgt Bilko, screaming "hold me back!!"

Itt bad fan fiction about a president

I think his "great day" tweet was sposed to refer to... what? He decorated some Vietnam hero yesterday who somehow consented to receiving his medal from Yam. Maybe that's all.

only pissed himself once iirc

they vanquished the angry man who was getting more television screentime than him

dude drives his cart over the green to avoid walking more than 5 feet at a time, so he probably can play at least 9

His "great day" tweet is probably just there to fight the general media reporting that last week was "terrible" for him and that the white house is experiencing chaos?

the whole concept of alpha humans is so laughably stupid. you have alphas among animals that travel in packs. outside of that specific system to think of an "alpha" is just to say "I have a crush on the concept of power"

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.

I guess the only thing he could do at this point is look up in the air, whistle and stroll away briskly whenever someone mentions Russia near him.

damn jclc just outed himself as a beta male imo

BG: no problem, old guys blur together.

I don't know if the great-day tweet was specific to anything. I took it more in the spirit of "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." (I actually found it funny, although I'm not sure if that was Trump's intent or not.)

I think 'alpha' is a useful designation at least inasmuch as its adoption as a self-descriptor clearly signals that the adopter is a walking douchenozzle.

damn old lunch just outed himself as a beta male imo

As someone who lives in Hoboken I definitely witness lots of "alpha" posturing among the demographic of losers that have invaded the town.

damn evan just &c &c

i'm a gamma male, don't make me angry

Come at me bro I'm talking about the posers

yeah it's incredibly spurious and not even true for animals, probably one of the most toxic concepts in the world right now

OL otm. i think about guys who preoccupy themselves with "alpha"-ness, male masculinity, etc and they're just the most pathetic try-hards.

obv this is mostly from online personalities. i can't say i know anyone irl who's openly like this

My t is the lowest of all the t's.

&c &c on t's

Fake big news tbh

Sad, etc.

Ah, I see a certain someone who knows someone on here has thoughts.

THREAD: What does the news that Mueller is working with the IRS Criminal Investigation unit on his investigation tell us?

— Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) August 31, 2017

that dude works his ass off but Im starting to think twitter might not be the best format. appreciate all the insight tho.

total pro

he often sums things up in longer pieces iirc

so where is Clarke going in the admin? DHS?

I'd rather have General Zod running this country right now

yeah my beef with his tweets mostly has to do with getting excited when a thread starts then having to wait for him to type out all 20 parts to it =D

btw I literally had a dream when I napped this afternoon that Trump was MIA and rumor was he'd gone into a coma or something.

waking up was the most depressing thing

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/31/politics/comey-clinton-investigation/index.html

like at least a quarter of the right wing is asking Mueller to exonerate Trump right now before the investigation is over so idk be consistent or something

so where is Clarke going in the admin? DHS?

guys you're making the president sad ;_;

Eric Trump has argued his father is forced to block out negative media coverage because fully engaging with it would lead to depression or even suicide.

Eric, the US president’s third child who is a trustee of the Trump organisation, launched into a fierce attack on the media's treatment of President Trump.

The 33-year-old businessman claimed a person would end up killing themselves if they received as much unfavourable press attention as President Trump who has been in a self-declared war with the media since entering the White House.

“If they weren’t talking about you, you wouldn’t be doing something right and it’s important to keep it in context,” he said during a radio interview on The Joe Pags Show.

“Otherwise quite frankly you’d probably end up killing yourself out of depression. But he’s doing a great job.”

I'd rather have General Zod running this country right now

say what you like about general zod but at least he has experience of leadership

heckuva job trumpie

thank god every previous president had constant positive media coverage, imagine the litany of self-harm

he's right tho, the best thing to do when your actions upset people is just to keep ploughing on while making a conscious effort to tune out their complaints

Eric Trump has argued his father is forced to block out negative media coverage because fully engaging with it would lead to depression or even suicide.

Going to spend the next week in the middle of a circle of candles chanting "engage... engage... engage..."

qlitany of self-harm

*forms one-man DSBM band, gets ton of press coverage that isn't really commensurate with the quality of the material*

ok that fuckin first q doesn't belong, rip my good joek

qlitany is my stripper name

I think qlitany adds a certain touch of wokeness

Eric Trump unsurprisingly doesn't seem to know his father very well. I couldn't see Donald Trump ever committing suicide. But there's always hope.

time for a new thread?
