Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

Also, he is currently in one of the most conservative autocracies on Earth. He fits right in.

Isn't any block or misdirection of Mueller going to look suspicious in itself?

i think that horse left the stable some time ago stevo

xps thats not the art of war its war dogs

Every photo of Trump looks like an artist's​ rendering.

Specifically one of Richard Upton Pickman's renderings.

Neal Katyal, former US acting solicitor general who helped draft the special counsel regulations, talks with Rachel Maddow about the ways in which Donald Trump might seek to undermine or eliminate the Trump-Russia special investigation.

and addresses the idea of the Ethics Rule preventing Mueller from investigating the 2 former clients of his law firm. Think that's about 4 minutes in.
Says that it would possibly lead to a separate investigation into those 2 which would be unlikely.

Talks earlier about the idea of Sunlight meaning that any White House moves to prevent or undermine the investigation by the Special counsel would have to be visible and therefore recognised or something to that effect.

Lot of chandeliers in Riyadh

I think you get special dispensation if you're flying on Shabbat to Saudi Arabi ... oh, wait.

good [unintelligble]!

The attempt to block Mueller is odd on the face of it, as it's the WH suggesting that he'd go too easy on them.

like garbage like son

What a fuckin dork.

so trump's islam speech sounded (I only read early reports) disappointingly non godawful, was really hoping for a shitshow but it was about what you'd expect from an american politician on conservative bent speaking in an Islamic country about terrorism.

Apparently pretty anti Shi-ite or at least readable that way. & not sensitive to changes with recent election but does that parse as obvious from a conservative?
Got a new chant in 'kick them out'. Which will be abused innit.

Well yeah, that's the spin people like Richard Spencer are putting on white nationalism. "Do whatever it is you like, brown and black people. Just do it where you're from and not in America." Easy to read chunks of the Trump speech with that part implied.

Donald Trump: Talking Shi'ite

Some low energy speech

Apparently pretty anti Shi-ite

Who'd've thought?

if nothing else, we can be comforted that his non implosion during the trip will be forgotten about in days when the next russia coverup story breaks

he's still got time to implode on the other stops

Friends, Family Gather to Mourn and Honor Roger Ailes

look at those horrible faces, these are the worst faces i've ever seen

do some face exercises or something

Is the blonde woman casting a hex?

It seems kinda weird to me to have a flag covered casket for a civilian that never served in the military.

lots of stains on that flag, i don't even want to know. guessing roger kept it in his office.

at least four of those men have the same mouth and chin sag

is that li'l zachary ailes at the end? how does he already look 42?

he's literally been through hell

made a deal with the devil iirc

You can buy flags. What you do with them is up to you. In this case, you can use it to cover the casket of a dead man who told lies to tens of millions of people to make him look more honorable than he was.

Sitting down to a family gathering and everybody looking like that is another feature of my personal hell

His toxic corpse becoming part of our soil wasn't enough, he had to desecrate the flag one more time on the way out

i wouldnt mind but i read somewhere that god hates flags

children draped their shoulders with the flag and jogged around the aggro crag so who cares if you want to be buried with a nickelodeon prop

it looks like an Onion photoshop

Have we discussed THE ORB yet?

just like trump to treat ordinary muslims with scorn but show deference to the fucking sauds.

No seriously though, wtf is going on in that photo!?

Also as an aside: why is it everyone's seemed to be OK with the US being best buddies with Saudis, when it was all young wealthy Saudi men who flew the feckin planes into the WTC???

it's fucking stupid. the saudi education system established the theology of isis and al qaeda

plus its one of the most repressive regimes in the world -- to women, dissidents, immigrant laborers

'The prevalence of cognitive dissonance' is a useful catch-all answer to many of today's more mystifying questions.

Aren't the Shi'ites the branch of islam that ISIS has trouble with? So you'd think that a supposedly anti-ISIS Western leader would be wanting to side with them. Rather than create further rifts with them.
Or is that too enemy of my enemy is my friend and not following Trump logic?

"Logic"
