Yep, people are starting to realize the bull market is getting rather long in the tooth.

I’m not doing the research but 99% chance that Oswalt nonsense is the result of someone specifically asking him if Trump should see the movie and he said sure

i know it doesn't matter but i will take any opportunity to post videos of scott pruitt squirming

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQUAwm6xQT4

too bad whitehouse blew his potential Viral Moment of the Day! by accidentally triggering a voice recording of something about hubris, when it seems that he meant to cap off his viral moment with the audio recording of pruitt saying what he said.

by accidentally triggering a voice recording of something about hubris

i know this is way too charitable to sen. whitehouse, but we can't discount the possibility that he did it on purpose and was trying to make a very meta artistic statement

"If we're giving free water and food, that means that families are not going to supermarkets to buy. It is affecting the economy of Puerto Rico. So we need to create a balance."

Meanwhile: the gov't reports that nearly a 3rd of PR still lack electricity.https://t.co/ajq3NRUdHL

America is cool

cool to starvation

Problem with the stock market as any sort of useful metric right now is that it is so wildly overvalued that it can afford to fall down several hundred points and still be astronomically high.

”If we're giving free water and food, that means that families are not going to supermarkets to buy. It is affecting the economy of Puerto Rico. So we need to create a balance."

what a fucking garbage country this is

great post frogbs (a ways back) but I am afraid that this bit:

the formation of a special council which will only disband upon the death of every remaining Clinton

...seriously underestimates the lifespan of anti-Clinton sentiment.

if the piss tape doesn't exist surely someone in the deep state is busy using our government funded science to make a fraudulent one soon, right? RIGHT? PLEASE?

Look at it this way: based upon what you know of the man, do you think the odds favor the existence or the nonexistence of a piss tape?

Who fucking cares about that bullshit. We learned he cheated on his wife with Stormy Daniels and no one even blinked. They’d have to prove that he knew of it and Russia was holding it over his head for it to mean anything.

lol hes probably peeing all over himselff like MMM THIS IS SOME GOOD PEE can't wait xp

He walked in on underage girls in a dressing room and bragged about it on Howard Stern. That’s worse than hiring prostitutes. Not to mention the horrifying account his first wife gave in the divorce deposition, which she never fully recanted.

He is scum and a gangster and none of it matters. Any actor would have had their show pulled for any one of these things.

Stfu xpost

Nothing is going to happen to him.

are you not excited for donalt trump piss tape neanderthal? what is wrong with you? here we like piss tape

Why do you still hang out here?

I want more contrarians but you’re so obnoxious and don’t even have allies on the boards.

what kind of contrarian would you like treeship

A better one

nakhchivan

i like sleepingbag, i am sleepingbag's ally

ppl on these threads for over a year now salivating over, unquenchably thirsty for a 'donald trump pee tape'... i'm not really sure if that's fixable through rational argument exactly

xp thank you, likewise

Pee tape is just a placeholder, really. Name a debased act and chances are better that Trump has engaged in it than that he has not. And, no, I don't think it makes any practical difference. The only chance the country had to survive the car crash of his election was to not steer into it, and welp.

I want Trump to choke on his own vomit for the next 35 years

I'm having flashbacks of rooting for a stock market crash during the bush administration (then it actually happened. sorry everyone)

Only neocons were shocked by it tbf

banking on the pee tape is like banking on an Alzheimer's diagnosis, it's empty wishful thinking. Like hoping Rick Wilson's twitter would win Hillary the White House.

My prediction: if he gets impeached it will be because of his polling and the midterms and the general air of febrile ineptness getting through to “independents” and “moderates” but the actual legal case will be this sanction stuff and nothing to do with what mueller finds.

Piss tape is absolutely real

I don't believe in the pee tape, but even if it's real why would it ever come to light? The Russians have their man in the White House, why would they want to jeopardise that?

what do you do with your man once he's no longer useful (eg when he's about to be impeached)? you instantly turn on him, share whatever shit you have on him and watch the country tear itself apart. i imagine they're just waiting for that shift in balance between trump being useful to them to no longer being useful. when he's done, you trigger the time bomb

if the pee tape is real, it just shows him chortling while ordering women to piss on a bed that Barack and Michelle Obama once slept in. this is not going to damage his standing with either MAGA doofuses or the Republican party.

jet fuel can't something something

Wtf

they got to her

trump just said that he is making reducing the prices of prescription drugs one of his "top priorities of the year"

then he said that prescription prices "will drop - watch", as the audience muttered with audible doubt

say what you will about this guy, he actually made his hair into a cap, kudos

hahahaha the cosmic trolling continues, this thing happening w/ the moon tonight is literally called THE BLUE-BLOOD ECLIPSE

trump talks about the loss of lives that illegal immigrants have caused, democrats audibly groan. one second later, he pivots to a story of how two people were murdered by illegal immigrants, as the audience gives a standing ovation to the crying family members in the audience.

the tradition of exploiting people who have suffered immensely for the purpose of political gain stands stronger than ever
