Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Inanimate Carbon Rod is my new porn name.

Separately, doing great over there:

Last night Trump mused about what Jack Smith's name possibly was before, indicating he has changed it or something. This is something Trump has been suggesting privately, often saying "if that's really even his name" when talking about the special counsel, per several people.

Jack Soros.

Tbf, his birth certificate probably reads 'John Smith' not Jack.

suuuuuure

Weird

Could be an antisemitism thing.

First time the NY'er is using a courtroom sketch as a cover.

lol that is not flattering

The New Yorker has not been quiet, to date, on its contempt for the orange individual. There have been a bunch of anti-Trump covers.

That said, I am pretty sure there is not a single Trump supporter who reads the New Yorker or gives a shit what it thinks of them.

Like, New Yorker readers (of whom I am one!) are a subset of a subset of mostly coastal liberals.

Us coastal liberals may get a mild chuckle from this but let's be realistic - it does not even budge the needle of national politics.

I will never not love that magazine but I am fully aware that it's conversation with its audience is a circular one. It preaches to a very specific choir.

NY'er knows this will rile him something fierce. good on them!

Aimless otm

Yer a mean one, Mr. Trump

All credit to Jane Rosenberg, the artist. I bet Drew Friedman said "oh hell yeah."

he loves being hated and the new yorker love hating him. the relationship between trump and places like the new yorker is symbiotic.

I think "codependent" is closer

Mouly has had the job for thirty years this year; pretty sure she’s done it well in most of those without considering Trump, let alone his reaction to her choices, and I doubt that he has ever even thought of her having an opinion, an aesthetic, or an identifiable editorial approach.

Last night Trump mused about what Jack Smith's name possibly was before, indicating he has changed it or something. This is something Trump has been suggesting privately, often saying "if that's really even his name" when talking about the special counsel, per several people.

Basically he's too lazy to invent his latest conspiracy theories and, instead, just asks a question that gets his base to start making shit up

I'm not saying that Hillary Clinton is a shapeshifting lizard creature, but I'm also not NOT saying it, if you take my meaning.

seems like he just thought the name jack smith seemed too generic, so then he must be a spy, maybe a jewish trans spy

Early colonial America was explored by Commodore Giuseppe O'Malley Chan-McGillycuddy. But that was deemed too ridiculous, hence the creation of the fictional Captain John Smith.

it was...jack drumpf, nobody wants that

Kind of amazed at the anti-Semitism this guy gets away with.

it's pretty much accepted mainstream behavior over here these days unless you are saying something bad about Israel

"He tells it like it is" is conversational shorthand for "I'm also reprehensible".

nice to live in a world where every belief spreads by meme and link

"THINK FOR YOURSELF, SHEEP", says the people who do nothing but share one person's tweets all day

i guess you can't call them Tweets since Trump posts them on another platform

Teets

Speaking your mind is not a virtue when your mind is a dumpster fire.

New w ⁦@maggieNYT⁩: Former President Donald J. Trump has told aides to hire Laura Loomer, a far-right and anti-Muslim activist, for a campaign role, according to four people familiar with the plans. https://t.co/IsCZFZgTcY

IT LOOMS.

hell yeah

bigots to the front

she's going to chain herself to the mailbox of the courthouse

I mean, why not? His Muslim ban didn't hurt him; in fact, it probably helped him.

“Laura Loomer” = it’s like the name of a supervillain from a 1976 Marvel comic

i only vaguely know who she is. his campaign will obviously be staffed by alt media goons and goblins like duh.

and if he is elected, his cabinet will consist of these people, not the washington conservative insiders he relied upon in his first term. just look at what was left of his legal team by the time he left office.

xxp -- w/the LL initials she should be DC

I still remember a colleague of mine saying, after Trump won in 2016, that he wouldn't be so bad because "he'll be surrounded by good, competent people."

are you sure he didn't say "incontinent people"

No, this guy is a Republican. I think he was whistling past the graveyard.

lol loomer is such a d lister just utterly bottom shelf did bill mitchell turn him down

I hear James O'Keefe neeeds a job. Jacob Wohl probably available too.

No, this guy is a Republican. I think he was whistling past the graveyard.

is Wohl a free man at the moment

xp Could be. He's a big supporter of Brian Kemp, who has much the same agenda but is much quieter about it.

wow you hate to see this sort of infighting

Laura Loomer is mentally unstable and a documented liar.

She can not be trusted.

She spent months lying about me and attacking me just because I supported Kevin McCarthy for Speaker and after I had refused to endorse her last election cycle.

She loves the alleged FBI… pic.twitter.com/1D78hU59Z0

If he’s reduced to hiring Laura Loomer I think he might not even win the primary

I am tempted to call Laura Loomer vs Marjorie Taylor Greene a scatfight, which probably means it’s time to log off for the day
