US Politics November 2017

kind of shocked to say i cannot find one single image of Doctor Doom calling someone an "ungrateful fool."

“Do you think they’ll get the president?” Kushner asked a friend, tugging anxiously at his own collar and visibly perspiring

"I don't get no respect..."

xp - have this file photo I found instead

the caption is ‘washington, november 18: white house chief of staff john f kelly (left) looks on as president donald j trump prepares to send a tweet’

I did worry after I posted it that I had a well-earned "That's the jooooke" coming my way

the po’ faced absurdity of Donald J. Trump

this is pretty amusing. the series of tweets about "meetings" all gathered together kind of sums him up really.

this guy really likes to golf, huh?

you would be too if you could complete 18 holes in 12 shots like trump can

the idea of him coming back from golfing or the spa or whatever and composing a tweet about "big meetings!" or "very important meetings!" really betrays a venal, casual and i guess juvenile mixture of disregard and contempt for his role which would be amusing if it wasn't so worrying.

But not surprising

not in the slightest.

lolll BG well done

See, I disagree; I read it as desperate insecurity and a massive inferiority complex. He knows he's a piece of shit, he knows he's not up to the job, but he's certainly not going to let everyone else know he knows it, so he bluffs. "I'm doing very important work!" Meanwhile, he's running off to the golf course for a few hours' relief from the reality of his own incompetence.

one of these days we're gonna nail trump psychoanalysis, I can feel it

the golf thing, and the compulsion to visit his own resorts, is pretty fuckin weird. it reminds me of how hugh hefner would only ever stay in his own mansion or at "playboy clubs" that he had built in various cities. what does he derive from this? is there a weird compulsion we don't know about? does he not "trust" the white house in some way?

my questions, Simon, to clarify, are less about psychoanalysis and more about purely salacious gossip-mongering. there should be vicious, tawdry rumours about what he does at these clubs

"He knows he's a piece of shit, he knows he's not up to the job,"

He doesn't think this imo.

He's not capable of that sort of self-reflection

how hugh hefner would only ever stay in his own mansion or at "playboy clubs"

Well, I mean ...

Trump just wants to be in a place where he can show off and pretend he is in control.

let’s not forget that the trump org gets paid every time trump stays at his own properties too - all the comforts of home and with pocket money provided by the taxpayer

tapps everywhere in the whitehouse

Like, of all the periods when the span of my life could've transpired, why did it have to overlap with a period where the federal government is morphing into a late-period Zucker-Abrams-Zucker production? I could've been comfortably interred in the ground for the past fifty years instead of bearing witness to this.

At some point, every warrior eventually runs out of arrows. His armor wears thin yet grows heavier still. He must lay down his weary helmeted head for rest.

Even Coriolanus was forced to retreat — at the behest of his mother.

Not so Donald Trump.

Not a weary drop of blood pumps through the man’s veins. He wears his thick armor light as skin. His bottomless quiver is never empty.

Ironic, since his quivering bottom is somehow always emptying.

Oh wait...that piece is serious.

Oops, it’s still charisma. Still though, those millennials

The fact that these things overlap is not at all coincidental.

Are you suggesting that I'm somehow responsible for the horrific events that are currently unfolding?

I mean, I guess it isn't entirely outside of the realm of possibility.

it's a democracy, man

you gotta responsibility

Whoops!
