arse like a plasterer's radio

It didn't even occur to me that CYA might be a uniquely American construction, given its ubiquity in our culture.

xpost That's a level of hypervividity I could do without first thing in the morning. Well played.

Trockasturm Hoar The Ramming Battle Ceraton (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 13:47 (seven years ago) link

if you'd used that construction i would have gotten it but something about breaking it up like that sent my mind to some dark and unsavoury place from which i may never fully return xp

heck i've even been an 'oyster pirate' (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 13:47 (seven years ago) link

a fitting end (so to speak), given that tomorrow there will likely be a fresh, yet-unsullied thread

leprechaundriac (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 13:50 (seven years ago) link

I feel pretty strongly that any world leader who pulls out of a climate accord at this point in time deserves a swifter version of the fate he's consigned the rest of the world to. If only Trump wasn't already an ambulatory carcinoma.

Trockasturm Hoar The Ramming Battle Ceraton (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:04 (seven years ago) link

can someone please, if thou hast not already done, create his heraldry with Trump replaced by covfefe
?

Violet Jax (Violet Jynx), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:06 (seven years ago) link

why is everyone so fucking delighted with covfefe?

LAUGHTER HEALS – LAUGHTER RESEARCH

SPECIFIC BENEFITS TO PATIENTS:

- Reduces pain. In response to laughter, our bodies produce pain-killing hormones called endorphins.
- Strengthens immune function. Laughter increases production of T-cells, interferon and immune proteins called globulins.
- Improves respiration. Laughter increases pulmonary reflexes, lung volume and oxygenation of the blood.
- Decreases stress. Laughter significantly lowers levels of the stress hormone cortisol and returns the body to a more relaxed state.

Because it's super dumb

softie (silby), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:15 (seven years ago) link

xxxpost It's all about the context. Some random public instance of 'covfefe' on its own may have been amusing. An errant 'covfefe' by our moron president even moreso. A 'covfefe' that's gone untended for hours after the POTUS falls off the toilet and smacks his dome and is allowed to lay unconscious on the bathroom floor overnight by everyone tasked with caretaking the First Infant, well, that's something special. It's a powerful assemblage of letters which seems to effortlessly summarize the horrifying gestalt of this moment in history.

It's closer to Trump's speaking style where he's trying to articulate a thought and you kind of know what he's trying to say even though he refuses to finish a sentence, and ends up trailing off

President Keyes, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:17 (seven years ago) link

Did anyone figure out what the red flashing lights at the WH the other night were about?

Who's puttin' sponge in the zings I once zung (stevie), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:18 (seven years ago) link

They ran out of coke

willem, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:19 (seven years ago) link

It kind of surprises me that so many people at work can't even imagine what word he was trying to type there.

President Keyes, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:19 (seven years ago) link

The first thing that google.be suggests today when I start typing # (and nothing else!) over here in Belgium is: #covfefe - and he's not even our president yet!

StanM, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:24 (seven years ago) link

We laugh to keep the terrified screaming at bay.

leprechaundriac (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:26 (seven years ago) link

I assumed it was "coverage," is that not the standard theory?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:31 (seven years ago) link

Yes it was coverage.
Like a plasterer's radio.

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:40 (seven years ago) link

I'm not going to search, has anyone done "You on point, cov? / All the time, fefe" yet?

also we finally get the confluence of "CYA" and "c on ts" that I've been expecting for years on this board and I'm reminded once again that I should always be careful what I wish for

PJD PDJ DPJ (DJP), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:44 (seven years ago) link

PJD PDJ DPJ (DJP), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:46 (seven years ago) link

and Kathy Griffin's apology was inevitable as soon as Chelsea Clinton knocked the pic; can't cross one of the Skywalkers

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:48 (seven years ago) link

Donald Trump literally doomed our species to extinction today and you're still complaining about the Clintons

frogbs, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:51 (seven years ago) link

Keepin it Clinton

President Keyes, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:51 (seven years ago) link

he didn't do it yet

Treeship, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:53 (seven years ago) link

he's just "poised" to do it, or "expected" to depending on which media outlet you read

Treeship, Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:53 (seven years ago) link

why is everyone so fucking delighted with covfefe?

Covfefe and TV (ken c), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 14:57 (seven years ago) link

Charles "Butt" Stanton (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 15:03 (seven years ago) link

he's not truly alive.
