US Politics January 2018: "You All Just Got A Lot Richer"

I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!

Four minutes later. What the fuck

This mother fucker needs to be committed

That should keep him busy at his desk for a couple days.

Is anyone else freaked out? How did it come to this

Trump is a creature of the media. It's one of the few things he understands better than an ordinary schlub off the street. It's more or less his whole life right now.

is he going to a ceremony for these or just tweet them

I'm guessing he'll just forget

I am no longer freaked out by anything this dumbass does and that's part of the problem

I prefer when this asshole is on golf vacation tbh

What can't be cured must be endured.

The Commander-In-Chief of the most powerful military on earth has just tweeted that we should watch Sean Hannity at 9pm tonight.

I'm not freaked out, but it's only because I've dispensed with all hope at this point.

this has been quite a day for him, his israel/palestine two-parter managed in its own way to be just as infuriating as the nuclear-button and fake news awards announcements. also we're all going to die.

I want him to turn THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS into his personal take on the Kennedy Center Honors gala and brag about his amazing ratings and record-breaking attendance. Like what jmm said but I'd prefer it be a big happening, let's eat up 3-4 months with planning and tough decisions

tbf, everyone dying at once would solve some tricky logistical problems I've been fretting about.

Yep I'm not going to pay that student loan this month I think

I have to believe (want to believe?) this is all a reaction to him learning about something that is going to be made public soon and he's trying to divert attention from that coming story.

MADDOW GOT THE PEE TAPE

The pee tape is only relevant if Putin were proved to have actively used it to blackmail Trump into committing some official act. Otherwise, it's just another stained dress from Monica's closet.

i don't think we're gonna die

even kim jong un knows at this point that trump's tweets are impulsive bullshit that mean nothing

ya we're fine guys but we def did just sink deeper into the Zone

lol

the zone is otm. i don't think we're going to die either, or at least i think there's less than a 15% chance of it, so that's pretty good. it's just very disorienting to have this loudmouthed buffoon as a president typing these ridiculous things in all caps all the time.

yeah it's weird

I really appreciate that you guys still aren’t jaded to his shit fwiw

what a fucking moron

I have to believe (want to believe?) this is all a reaction to him learning about something that is going to be made public soon and he's trying to divert attention from that coming story.

Fox News is going to get us all killed.

at least i think there's less than a 15% chance of it, so that's pretty good.

no, that is not pretty good, less than .0015% chance of it would be pretty good, "less than a 15% chance of it" is really pretty fucking bad

i seriously think that twitter doesn’t suspend trump because he doesn’t swear

speaking of the pee tape

It’s weird, I thought Trump looked at Drudge, who had the KJU button quote at the top of his site on NYE

xpost -- yeah that's a more than interesting read. Have to wonder what happens next when you've got them saying "Hey, we have all this evidence, y'know."

Ha, it really is bigger!

BTW, ironic that the same day he took stupid credit for preventing airline deaths in 2017, there now comes a report that coal mining deaths are surging.

(Or at least surging by the standards of that industry)

That’s ... a way to give people their old jobs back in the mines

“yeah your neighbor’s dad, your brother and your uncle all just suffocated so if you’re up for it we have a couple shifts open”

Speaking of which, anyone here read this article? I knew it was bad, but not that bad.

That reminded me - this genius wants to bring back uranium mining too.

He should show us how it's done.

It’s weird, I thought Trump looked at Drudge, who had the KJU button quote at the top of his site on NYE

he doesn't look at any websites

the twitter app on his various phones is the only electronic interaction he has with the internet at all

XP...except Mr. Skin

Ohh yeah

he follows Drudge on twitter guess he didn't see it

at least i think there's less than a 15% chance of it, so that's pretty good.

no, that is not pretty good, less than .0015% chance of it would be pretty good, "less than a 15% chance of it" is really pretty fucking bad

oh, i meant "pretty good" sarcastically, sorry
