bizarro, I absolutely agree that Heraldrygate needs more attention. Too bad the fake news media is burying the story.

What did the president know about the fess gules rampant, and when did he emblazon it? Much more than a blot on his escutcheon imo.

Trump uses the same coat of arms, but replaced “integritas” with “Trump,”

lol.

scrubbing 'integrity' off someone else's coat of arms and replacing it with your own name would be borowitz-level satire if it wasn't true

ymp, thx for your support, i'm glad someone else takes this as seriously as i do

heck i've even been an 'oyster pirate' (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 30 May 2017 15:21 (six years ago) link

I'm pretty sure Trump is German or Latin or Esperanto or something for integrity anyway.

Last name: Trump
This early English medieval surname is derived from the pre 8th century Olde French 'Trompeor', and as such was introduced by the Norman invaders of England in 1066. It is a metonymic or job descriptive name either for a trumpeter or a maker of trumpets, and is recorded in the modern forms of Trump and Trumper.

aye donald's a total fuckin' trumpet right enough

heck i've even been an 'oyster pirate' (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 30 May 2017 15:26 (six years ago) link

Something deeply symbolic in the fact that the word in the motto replaced by 'Trump' on the stolen coat of arms was 'Integrity' or a direct translation.

Future generations will acknowledge Trump for the satirical genius he so clearly is. Even if only because said acknowledgement is mandated by the new constitution under which the cave-dwelling remnants of humanity must live.

trump
"fabricate, devise," 1690s, from trump "deceive, cheat" (1510s), from Middle English trumpen (late 14c.), from Old French tromper "to deceive," of uncertain origin. Apparently from se tromper de "to mock," from Old French tromper "to blow a trumpet." Brachet explains this as "to play the horn, alluding to quacks and mountebanks, who attracted the public by blowing a horn, and then cheated them into buying ...." The Hindley Old French dictionary has baillier la trompe "blow the trumpet" as "act the fool," and Donkin connects it rather to trombe "waterspout," on the notion of turning (someone) around. Connection with triumph also has been proposed. Related: Trumped; trumping. Trumped up "false, concocted" first recorded 1728.

i'd applaud his trashing of the anthem if i thought it was intentional.

Keep searching - you'll come up with a reason to love him eventually, I'm sure of it.

Decent explanation, if this hasn't been shared already:

Was there an actual explanation to what the hands on the glowing orb thing was supposed to signify in the first place? looks like a bunch of people that I wouldn't want to think thought they controlled things to that extent anyway.

Listening to an interview with George W right now, it really is quite remarkable. Maybe it's been the painting, or maybe it's just been being out of the spotlight, but he is so loose, self aware, so thoughtful, so empathetic, and funny too. He may very well be full of shit, but it's just such a weird transformation.

His best joke was that under Obama, he kept getting calls from the Heartland asking him to speak out. And now under Trump, he's getting calls from the coast, asking him to speak out.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 30 May 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link

he was the GOP's useful idiot. they got their tax cuts etc. he got to have his war to one-up his dad.

I think maybe you should reread Morbs's post because right now you are making its subtext into text and acting like you are disagreeing with him

I get that Morbz was being sarcastic - yes I just wanted to make the subtext into text, because ppl do seem to be fondly remembering Dubya right now and that is wrong

Dubya was always personable and he obviously had a hard time projecting the dangerous hardman image he was trying for during his warmongering speeches, because his default personality is easy-going and fun-seeking. He was a god awful president because his heart was full of unearned confidence and his head was full of half-truths and nonsense.

I'm taking the hardline moral stance that all presidents are/were indefensible monsters.

Harding wasn't as bad a prez as Coolidge: far less damaging to the economy or immigrants.

re the huge bump in fake trump followers today

I'm tracking *45's number right now. He is growing by around 100 bots a minute. He is massing a propaganda army.
