Trump, May 2017: 100 days of [unintelligible]

a line that surely ought to have been delivered with relish by len brennan at some stage

Paul Ryan is talking about tax cuts.

At least SOMEBODY has their priorities straight this morning.

"You don't understand, 'imprison journalists' was our code word for the surprise party we were throwing Ivanka -- AND YOU RUINED IT, YOU MONSTERS"

Come on, he was only joking. He's always joking, can't you take a joke? Also, stop hitting yourself.

allies!

(Erdogan dudes attacking Armenian [?] protesters - in Washington, DC)

just came to this thread to see whether people were discussing the Turkish embassy brouhaha

it's been a long time since I rooted for the cops in a viral internet video

Yeah, it's a bit hard to follow but the DC cops look like they acquitted themselves pretty well

Kurdish protestors (I put it in the MENA thread earlier)

also alt-right dudes crying about how this is exactly the same as antifa targeting nazis can put their dicks in their laptops and slam the lid closed, thanks

how different is it just asking

Today on the floor of the Congress of the United States of America, I will call for the Impeachment of the President between 9am & 10am CST.

79% different by my calculations xp

thats all i wanted to know thx

" It is an argument, instead, for using a constitutional mechanism more appropriate to this strange situation than impeachment: the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which allows for the removal of the president if a majority of the cabinet informs the Congress that he is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office” and (should the president contest his own removal) a two-thirds vote by Congress confirms the cabinet’s judgment."

two motherfuckers kicking girls on the ground wtf ?

SOUND THE DOUTHAT ALARM AGAIN

Lol sure the cabinet's gonna get right on that

xps

The majority of the cabinet are people who've voluntarily aligned themselves not with the GOP necessarily but with Trump (let that sink in for a moment). So imagine where the 25th amendment talk is going to go.

Like these are people who would never ever ever ever ever have held the positions they currently hold if they hadn't been appointed by a lunatic know-nothing. They're clinging tenaciously.

xp to darragh: the fact that the guys throwing protesters to the ground and kicking them in their faces are protected by diplomatic immunity significantly changes the moral calculus, imo

You forget the SMoking Man and the Syndicate

where's martin riggs when you need him xp

Would be awesome if Trump took down Fallon, too:

Post Trump we're going to have to unplug the country, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it in again and hope for the best.

Like these are people who would never ever ever ever ever have held the positions they currently hold if they hadn't been appointed by a lunatic know-nothing. They're clinging tenaciously.

and they're so stupid that they had no idea in January that their jobs in the private sector and Congress would be more prestigious and profitable than tied to this Titanic.

they all seem very short-sighted

Trump's speech on Islam is being drafted by Stephen Miller, who has peddled anti-Islamic theories, per @KFILE https://t.co/KZpPLqBdPM pic.twitter.com/HPYUsS4PXd

this will end well

Is this the speech he is giving in Saudi Arabia?

trump to middle east: "you're fired"

*nuclear missiles turn everything east of the red sea into glass*

Trump national security aides put his name in their briefing docs as much as possible so he will keep reading them

You may already be a winner, DONALD

Radiation knows no borders though innit?

nah, trump and his family will be fine

apart from melania, who may find herself somehow locked outside the bunker

the BREAKING news i just saw was "Ryan says he has faith in Trump"

broken, alright

Maybe he will get arrested by the Saudi government for blasphemy or something

trump to middle east: "you're fired"

*nuclear missiles turn everything east of the red sea into glass*

stop

hammer time

It's a serious risk imo. He is crazy, racist, and has the legal authority to use nuclear weapons.

I think the NOrth Korean situation is more troubeling

Trump's speech on Islam is being drafted by Stephen Miller

OMG, he's extending the impish trolling of his cabinet appointment strategy into the realm of foreign policy. Guess we're dead, huh.

It's all troubling.

what are the odds that at some point while writing this speech, Miller turns to Bannon and says "Fuck it, let's do it and be legends, man"

hes not crazy

i think theres degrees of racism between trump and 'firing nuclear weapons at arabs for lulz'

a nuclear North Korea would be fine if they don't plan on ever using them and its a deterrent but if they start wanting to teach nearby countries a little lesson - I guess its armagideon tyme

100%. They're about to "shift the conversation" to what really matters, "radical Islam."

They'd rather provoke a diplomatic crisis on the basis of a "hard line on Islam" than stay mired in this Comey stuff.

bad guys gonna be bad guys
