Mourning in America - Trump Year One: November '16 to

Get someone who can do both

I guess legislation that has a reasonable chance of passage and ending on the president's desk for signature scares me more than our moron president sharing an opinion on Twitter.

probably would happen with any ol' Republican president though

i know we're already past it but that fucking NYT waving the white flag economics article is the worst and most depressing thing I've seen today and I saw a pigeon get run over in the street

typical mammalian bias

"I think what he's done so far shows two things. Number one: He has picked people that know how the system works and are willing to make the commitment to him and his policies to make sure the trains run on time and the train stays on the track, and I think that's very important, particularly for someone who ran as an outsider," Chambliss said.

Making sure the trains run on time, hmmmmm.

O_O

People who are completely ignorant about history, or people who are way too knowledgeable about particular aspects of history?

I totally misread 'felicitated' as 'fellated.' I need to step away from the internet.

Mike Cernovich posted a similar tweet and then deleted it. It has of course been screenshotted and RT'd.

fellated Navidad
prospero año y felicidad

don't know why I got curious and hopped over to this dummy's blog again but my god the delusion here is so palpable

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/153865618451/the-idea-you-are-least-likely-to-believe

When Trump was running for election, facts and reasons and policy details didn’t matter to the outcome. He knew that. I knew that. Every trained persuader knew it. But the general public did not, and that is the realization that is beginning to dawn on the world.

this is just so stupid - Trump DID have "facts" and "reasons" and "policy details" but that facts were wrong, the reasons were dumb, and the policy details were impossible or completely vague, and yet this is a good thing? fuck off.

wow, that press release.

that is unbelievable.

Everything is believable now.

The irony would be if Trump did manage to make America great again strictly through empty flattery.

Nobody tell Trump that Pakistan is like 98% Muslim.

I wanna see the look on his face.

Wait, what does Trump have against Muslims? They're terrific.

Reminds me so much of this which is my favorite Trump-related thing

i think it's a mistake to think that he gaf about muslims outside how he can use them to get support - i don't think he cares about anything really if being nice to muslims made his bank account larger he'd do a 180.

I hate the Times as much as you guys, but they were an all but official arm of Hillary's campaign. So your preferred candidate benefited from their corruption before she lost, right?

I'd be interested to know how many of the thread regulars supported Bernie during the primary. From a distance it seems like most here supported her in the primary. Is that correct?

No

clinton+email site:nytimes.com

About 6,700,000 results (0.85 seconds)

no ilx was pretty evenly split and if the NYT was an arm of the Hillary campaign why did her bogus email story get front page headlines every day?

NYT def not an "arm" of HRC's campaign gtfo w that. WaPo went way harder against Trump.

Xp

lol Iago that is so mindboggingly wrong, unless you spelt "WaPo" wrong in which case, yeah I guess

From a distance it seems like most here supported her in the primary. Is that correct?

What, in terms of active, regular posters? I would say this is decidedly not correct

Iago, you've clearly been mainlining some Trumpist news sources throughout this election. Facts are generally pretty easy to discern when you exercise a little skepticism wrt the things that loud, crazy people are telling you.

Meanwhile, ILX alum Mr Read was on the cspan today, talking about fake news and taking calls.

I'd like to thank Cspan's auto-transcriber for the new display name.

I guess one of the major factors that separate Trump supporters from everybody else is that everybody else can say, "I support these sources from which I get my news to varying degrees, but I have my issues with them and they're often full of shit and I still feel compelled to go over their reportage with a fine-toothed comb" instead of "YOU TELL ME THING IN LOUD VOICE LIKE MY DADDY, THING MUST BE TRUE, E-MAIL SERVERS AND MURDERED FBI MEN!"

We need like a whole crew of Jerky Boys-style pranksters calling up Trump Tower professing to be the heads of state of Freedonia, Equestria, Agrabah, Zembla, etc.

"@realdonaldtrump - Received a great congratulatory phone call today from the king of Narnia. I assured him that we would work together to make great, great deals that would benefit both people and fauns bigly. Glad!"

@realdonaldtrump - Got great congratulatory call from the Westeros ambassador today. Plan to meet soon over Trump Tower Tacos to discuss future of Westeros trade policy!

@realdonaldtrump - Just had a great conversation with the Lilliputian Prime Minister! Lilliputian people are terrific, just terrific.

@realdonaldtrump - Great, friendly people in Westeros. Got invited to the kings wedding next month, wouldn't take no for an answer!

This just in, Trump appointing Herman Cain as ambassador to Becky-becky-becky-stan

They have good hair there. The best hair.

this was not a one-post joke lads

Trump is apparently going to be like two blocks from my work for the rest of the week. Which should make getting around a huge pain the ass. I hope I can contribute to making his stay a huge pain in his ass.
