I hope 'covfefe' eventually takes root as a legitimate neologism meaning 'the moment when his courtiers stop supporting the illusion that the emperor was ever wearing clothes'. The tweet misfire was one thing, 'covfefe' was another hilarious thing, but the biggest and most important takeaway here is that it's been established that a number of people have access to his Twitter and the ability to make him not look like an incompetent dipshit (in this instance) and they did nothing.

And I would wager that at least part of the impetus behind the hands-off, 'this is allllll you' approach is frustration over his continued refusal to accept any counsel on the wisdom of just shutting the fuck up already while his administration is under investigation.

Just learned that you cannot plead the fifth when asked for business records. Given all the Russia stuff at least in some way involves payments and hiding money and funneling money through businesses, it seems the best the targets and POIs can do is delay.

That thing where you'd still occasionally come across a rack of fifteen of the same unsellable action figure two years after the toy line had ended? That's Snack Blast.

Oops, wrong thread. Or alternately:

Who can figure out the true meaning of "Snack Blast" ??? Enjoy!

I'd like to think Trump's follow-up tweet was written by a staffer who was fully cognizant that opening that gate would be nothing but a massive self-own. And after considering it for a second, I'm almost positive that's what it is, given that its existence is a tacit recognition of having made a mistake.

Trockasturm Hoar The Ramming Battle Ceraton (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 31 May 2017 12:48 (six years ago) link

ha, true

he's back to tweeting nonsense about the russia investigation and kathy griffin now, so normal service is resumed i guess

lol Trump's base is already playing this off as a brilliant move to misdirect and explode liberal heads

that said I still wonder how the hell that stayed up for 5 hours, did he fall asleep mid-tweet ?

Considering that he's likely to announce we're pulling out of the climate change accords, it doesn't matter how little sleep he gets

as others have said, it really does feel like a deliberate effort to undermine him from someone in their camp, but i guess you should never jump to suspecting malice when just plain incompetence is equally likely

pulling out of the climate change accords is the point where he goes full immortan joe, right?

I don't want to belabor the point, but I think this tweet misfire is a much bigger deal than it seems on the surface inasmuch as anyone who had the power to C the POTUS's A on this one chose instead to let him dangle in the wind overnight. This might be a decisive moment in his inner circle's shift from spinning the narrative to letting him dig his own grave while they look after number one.

look i can't help reading that as 'cum on the potus's ass' and it's frankly all your fault

Communications staff in flux, not giving a fuck probably. Or people worried that Trump actually thinks covfefe is a word and will fire them for fixing it.

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

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
