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

ugh brands

what it looks like when reality begins to dissolve

as with covfefe, people will soon tire of gorillas fighting. I give it two more days to peak and the reverb will last three weeks at most. and take heart. ridicule is a powerful poison and Trump is absorbing heroic doses of it.

Just remembered when Pixelated Boat got attacked for being in favor of gun control in his mentions because “gun control is bad” became the more woke position somehow.

After "boat recognize boat" I think we can basically shut down ILX. That's the zenith.

> when reality begins to dissolve

Laughter has always been a defense mechanism. Personally, I've felt trapped in an absurd timeline miasma for 422 days.

Spare a thought for those of us in red states. While those of you on the coasts at least have company in your misery, many of us know that our neighbors, coworkers, and hell, people we otherwise might depend on overwhelmingly voted for this. I look at the people around me, and know that 55.3% of them, and probably 70% of the Caucasians, looked an profoundly ignorant, sociopathic, malignant narcissist buffoon in the face, and decided to vote for him. Its like living in The Village from The Prisoner.

Honestly, I don't know how I will heal until all those who voted for him offer me personal apologies.

Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad! https://t.co/mEeUhk5ZV9

not exactly helping your case here, Don

trump is such a dick

putting everything else aside, just imagine overhearing someone saying that to someone else. you'd be like "god, what a dick"

as with covfefe, people will soon tire of gorillas fighting.

people are still saying covfefe!

but those people are wrong and need to stop

dumped like a dog?

untruthful, maybe, but boring? come on. (to be fair, when you have the attention span of a hyperactive 3-year old I guess every book is boring)

I'm sure right-wing media is gonna spend the next two weeks ripping apart every minor detail in order to discredit this thing, but lordy, if there are tapes...

i would rank the possibility that trump read that book today at 0%

He Tweeted "Sloppy" I Think He Missed The Poll, la Poll, la Poll laaaa

why would he need to read it, he was there, he knows what really happened, he has one of the best memories ever, etc.

choking, cheating, begging for money, getting fired......all the classic shit dogs are constantly doing. pic.twitter.com/GCxuDigKJB

I'm fairly convinced that most of the people who excitedly voted for Trump were fueled by the idea of siccing their worst and most hated neighbor/coworker/boss/relative on that uppity lady candidate. I can't imagine that most of them actually like him as a person (and certainly would never want to share a beer with him, or drink a beer in his weirdly teetotaling company, rather). He's like that feral pit bull you keep locked up in your tool shed. He's a straight-up unlikable sumbitch, but goddammit he gets the job done.

My god, though, he's such a magnificently reactive brainstem! He just keeps hyping this book that makes him look like a total ass! Dude, it's already the #1 book in the country, don't oversell.

He's like that feral pit bull you keep locked up in your tool shed

this was maybe not the best metaphor at this particular juncture in time

Donald Trump is nothing like a pit bull. A pit bull raised in privilege and comfort like Trump would be a loyal, affectionate and playful creature.

Why does that sound to me like a remix of the Miami Vice theme

his dog thing always makes me think of the end of the trial. the perfect authoritarian tic

untruthful, maybe, but boring? come on.

In fairness to the Circus Peanut in Chief, I find everything about our historical moment and his bad burlesque-act reign truly, deeply, motherfucking boring.

is he saying the book is full of lies or is he saying, different perspectives from different sources with different interests don't tally and are sometimes purposefully deceitful? it's the latter

It is the latter, but why start reading-comprehension-shaming now?

I assumed that when Trump says "like a dog" it's a euphemism for "like a bitch" cf the Access Hollywood tape (evidence that he's capable of at least some level of self-censorship?)

I keep catching myself singing "I saw my Bannon getting sloppy", and grossing myself out.

....Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star.....

....to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2018

stable genius = horse's ass

Love this guy

Love this guy

"and being, like, really smart"

'First try' – riiight. He already ran in 2000, back when universal healthcare was part of his platform.

Late to the monkey party, but why in the world would anyone find the gorilla channel story implausible? I mean, you can find footage of Trump talking to Rudy in drag, Trump in overalls singing the green acres theme ... pretty much everything about Trump is completely ridiculous from head/hair to hands, so why not apes?

Anyway, he's a genius, geniuses are weird.

a man with a spiral combover is capable of anything

Going the full Fredo, pretty great.

Seriously. It's like the Godfather if everyone was Fredo.

And you know if Trump drank he would drink banana daiquiris.

Oh goodness gracious. We can be civil, cheerful, respectful to & friends with people who don’t share our religious beliefs. Sometimes, we even marry them. I’m a Methodist & my husband is Jewish, thank you for asking. A very happy New Year to you Rhonda! https://t.co/8UH9SP8EWO

the washington post ran an op ed begging people to not read the “trashy” wolff book

it was written by a mucky muck at... citizens united! (the one who wrote the book with lewandowski. it was of course plugged.)

they’re not even TRYING to hide it

xpost I guess that was in response to some Trump supporter accusing her of being a Satanist after goofing around on twitter.

we're p much in Star Wars Ep 2 at this point, politically speaking

will all the dominionist evangelical preachers in the land read 'fire and fury' from the pulpit approvingly?

Actually typing "like, really smart" = deliberate wind-up even more than usual.

More like "Smart? Like, really?"
