Because there's so much fun in covfefe!

they gave him to us, Keyes, quite literally

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

Terrified laughter in the face of the void is sometimes the only way to avoid succumbing to its crushing, annihilistic weight. We bang the cymbals to avoid the finality of making that leap.

need better taste in doomsday yuks

Relax. There will be a fresh atrocity soon enough.

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

Aaaah I gotta get my covfefe post in before the est noon becomes high - what if someone snatched his phone away from him mid-tweet and smashed it into thousands of tiny pieces and that's why he didn't correct it

holy fuck everyone reacting like a fucking tambourine monkey to Trump's typo makes me want to jump out of a building.

it's been painfully unfunny all day - it's a typo. big fucking deal. even trump laughed at himself about it, that's how innocuous it is, the greatest manchild in the world can even brush it off.

i don't suppose american ilxors had to deal with being in a meeting at 3pm and a co-worker painfully, didactically relaying the story of donald trump's tweet and the subsequent memes. seriously more than anyone should be expected to tolerate, i had to think of myself on a beach on holiday in a few weeks to stop myself from screaming.

Ken C and DJP making the most of this while the rest of you keep failing to even come close to Morbius's lap times on the curmudgeonring

okay i finally looked at the kathy griffin thing. she looks scarier than the severed head! she should start doing horror movies.

there's nothing curmudgeonly about disliking a crap joke

dilbert guy knows what's up

Covfefe the Strong / the Wizard Covfefe was funny

The twin peaks meme version was funny

What's not funny = that "President's Daily Brief" that looked like a kids' menu and all the other jokes that hinge on comparing him to a small child

I found a copy of the President's Daily Briefing:

trump kid's menu briefing is an onion series

President Manchild was almost certainly not the party responsible for the follow-up tweet. He's probably working himself into a frothing rage over the laughter his typo has generated. Hell, I could see his spite over the matter being the deciding factor in pulling out of the Paris accord. 'Laugh at me, huh? I'll show those little SOBs.'

Covfefe the Strong / the Wizard Covfefe was funny

yeah tbf this was funny. an entire day of gloating and celebration like as if it's some national festival - that was unfunny. but i guess we should give up expecting the liberal half of twitter not to feverishly promote and boost the range of the figures we're all supposed to hate.

It went without mention here, but that Onion leak of some 200+ documents does hide a few gems. I liked the running joke in the Steve Bannon and Ben Carson files.

Old Lunch I 100% agree with your assessment. I think Kal Penn's thing where he imagines Bannon, Kishner and Spicer playing "not it" over who gets to tell Trump he passed out during a tweet is almost exactly what happened, albeit with several more staffers also abdicating responsibility.

reminds me of

agreed, someone needs to step in

Covfefe the Strong / the Wizard Covfefe was funny

yeah this was funny. The other 9 million joeks not so much

none of it was funny

Still behind Morbs by 0.57 seconds

There is a tedious new Rebecca Solnit piece doing the rounds that could easily be x-posted to the Annoying Stuff on Facebook thread

http://lithub.com/rebecca-solnit-the-loneliness-of-donald-trump/

I think that tweet tells us a lot. It didn't stand for 5 hours because Trump got interrupted by his advisors during a crisis or because someone took his phone away. And it's disturbing not only because of the garbled letters, but because it's also an incomplete thought. I guess you could argue that he's suffering from jet lag or extreme exhaustion, but on a level where he can't even finish a tweet before nodding off? Do we have to start worrying about Alzheimer's? Even if it's just carelessness it's pretty extreme. Whatever it is, it's fucked up
