Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

i'm still glad they posted it

yeah I'll take it

I was one degree of separation from two of those people, many of my friends are grieving

if this dude was Moses, he'd have spent two hours screaming at the water before he found a way to blame his failure on his fellow Jews

Do video embeds work? SPD leader and Merkel's chief leader shows outrage over Trump's treatment.

of course

XP that's a thinly veiled criticism of how Merkel allowed trump to treat her imo

oliver willis now writes for shareblue, if anyone wasn't already convinced of his uselessness

The massive TERM PAPER that I have submitted is moving along in the process very well, actually ahead of schedule. A-pluses all around!

More a case of Schulz not being able to stay behind Merkel; criticizing Trump is a vote-winner o'er 'ere.

Ahead of schedule? It's already being laughed at and creating outrage and he hasn't written it yet?

xp: certainly it was also criticism of Merkel, but more importantly, running on an anti-Trump platform is now an obvious political stance throughout Europe.

Exactly.

In broad strokes, this piece gives a decent POV from Germany about last week, Trump, and why it's so unhappy with Trump's USA.

"Then they'll play the National Anthem. That part's easy. Just stand still."
"Got it."

what a buffoon.

surprised he didn't mime throwing a pitch at the end tbh

Words like 'buffoon' never seem sufficient. W. was a buffoon. Trump seems like some weird homonculus formed out of shit that briefly attempts to mimic human beings but gives up in a matter of seconds after realizing that it doesn't really care if it comes off as anything but an off-putting shit puppet.

Obama — Special Agent Dale Cooper
Nixon — Doppelcooper
Trump — Dougie

It's the little moments like that that really drive home how fucked this is tbh

What kind of fascist can't even work up the requisite mawkish sentimentality on Memorial Day ffs

I can actually see that footage pissing a lot of red staters off, if they actually ever encountered it in our splintered bubble fuckscape

That said here's our fella at slane way back when

jesus christ could these people be any less self aware?

the question isn't who is going to let me shit in this bowl of water and leave it on the elevator, it's who is going to stop me

Ok Trump bopping and singing along to the National Anthem is amazing.

We've been doing sketches from photographs the past few weeks. This guy's the second-best artist in my class--grade 3!

He does capture a certain something about the man.

(I'm sure everyone's seen the image--not sure why he reversed it, but pretty impressive that he even could.)

out-Pettibons Pettibon, solid work

pretty good...kinda reminds me when people used to give Wilfred Laurier a Spock makeover on the old $5 bills

Question: are double jeopardy laws still in play with a presidential pardon? Say, if Kushner is pardoned, and it turns out he's in trouble for more than he is pardoned for, or more of the same, can he still be tried? Or for that matter, can a president just keep pardoning the same person, again and again, as long as he's president?

Wasn't Ford's pardon of Nixon pretty much a blanket pardon of anything he may have done, rather than anything specific? If it came to that, Trump would say "Jared totally did not do anything wrong, this is a total witch hunt, but just in case, I pardon him for anything he may have inadvertantly done up until, let's say yesterday. No, let's say this morning."

can a president just keep pardoning the same person, again and again, as long as he's president?

iirc, the Constitution doesn't place any limits on a president's ability to commute sentences or grant full pardons.

the lizard people will have revealed themselves by then, none of it will matter

iirc, the Constitution doesn't place any limits on a president's ability to commute sentences or grant full pardons.

But there have to be some limits, right? Can a president pardon literally everybody, just empty the jails?

now yr just getting ridiculous

Can a president pardon literally everybody, just empty the jails?

In theoretical fairyland, yes. As a practical matter, no. Each commutation or pardon must specify the person's name and is signed personally by the president and the USA has one of the two or three highest incarceration rates of any country on earth. We might be number one now. I don't follow the rankings that closely.

We got spirit, yes we do, we got spirit, but to the pokey with you

I'm not sure what Kushner would be indicted for except looking like a twink carved out of plastic.

didn't the joker let everyone out of jail in one of the batmans? i can't find any evidence to back it up but i remember

That's what the world has come to, a vague recollection that something happened.

irl lol Alfred

Cuba policy rollback coming, Daily Caller sez, w/ help from Rubio and Menendez

By September we'll be relitigating Brown v Board of Ed

didn't the joker let everyone out of jail in one of the batmans? i can't find any evidence to back it up but i remember

you may be thinking of bane letting gotham's most dangerous criminals out of arkham asylum in the crossover story knightfall, which ran between 1993 and 1994 and ended with bane breaking batman's back

Jesus Christ spoilers

mods pls delete, sorry everyone
