US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

Sanders dodged the question today but I'd put money on him pivoting in the next week.

It would be hilarious if he didn't have nuclear weapons.

.@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous “hair show” with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have “humanized” me-he is taking heat. He called & said “monster ratings.” Be a man Jimmy!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018

seriously messed up

ratings monster

How can you seriously mess up hair that is already seriously messed up

I just freaked out and tried to escape to a parallel universe where Donald Trump and Jimmy Fallon both don't exist

US Politics, July 2018: He Seriously Messed Up My Hair (womp womp)

The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018

That's my rule for politicians too!

Oh, fuck this.

It's amazing how my desire to watch him get helplessly sucked into some piece of heavy machinery and ground into chum only grows with every day and every utterance.

That would be too quick and oblivious a death.

President Yelp

Hiring manythousands of judges, and going through a long and complicated legal process, is not the way to go - will always be disfunctional. People must simply be stopped at the Border and told they cannot come into the U.S. illegally. Children brought back to their country......

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018

manythousands

who needs judges when you can just hire someone to people that what they're doing is illegal

I thought the government was already trying to send a lot of Air Force judges to help out with the prosecution of border crossers.
So assumed he was behind that. Hope it did manage to get stopped though

boo hoo math is hard!

have we ever had such a wimpy, crybaby president??

im sure we have they just didn't get a chance to poop their pants all over twitter like this one .

so glad the national discourse has switched from kids being put in cages and potentially never getting to see their families again to some lady getting kicked out of a restaurant

Is it strategic restaurant choice? Did Kjirstjen Neilsjen deliberately go to a specifically Mexican restaurant at this time for this reason.& is the Red Hen known for liberal staff or something?

they are not that smart

I keep hearing people ask/speculate along those lines and my considered answer is a) almost certainly not and b) it makes not a whit of difference xp

Trolls gonna troll. Seems like a Miller/Bannon/Stone thing to get a good laugh by choosing those restaurants.

most likely she just wanted to get some mexican food

Just curious - Trump can slag off Meryl Streep as 'overrated' and so forth, that's his opinion etc.

But, if he says a restaurant is filthy, that's a statement of fact, right? Can they sue?

In their defense, Mexican food is usually delicious.

i would think they probably could sue, yes

I would like to see people flooding Yelp with reviews of Trump properties which are just the text of his tweet with the business name changed.

Mar-a-Lago is a dump that failedmany inspection

Oopsy.

NEW: Special counsel Mueller has obtained the phones and computer of Trump ally/Blackwater founder Erik Prince.

A spokesperson for Prince (who is also Betsy DeVos' brother) said he has provided Mueller with “total access to his phone and computer.” https://t.co/NfxI4Wd2x0

ned

u gotta stop with the hope on this shiy

Nothing will happen suddenly. But the slow grind's still worth noting.

dude I come here to see this stuff Ned post , it often seems futile but what else ya gonna do ? xp

thx Ned, that is legit good news

It is certainly interesting (to me at least) that instead of either 'no comment' or loud blasts at Mueller and the probe combined with protestations of innocence, Prince's team is almost hilariously cagey. The exact importance of his role and actions is still unclear, though, however suggestive it might be.

On a separate Roger Stone-related front, meantime:

Protip: when you proclaim "I won't be a rat," you imply you have incriminating information to supply, increasing the chance you will be subpoenaed. https://t.co/HVEQGt6Wuk

I would trade convictions for the lot of them for Erik Prince doing time. I'm sure he'd get pardoned ASAP so preferably something that could also get state charges.

A spokesperson for Prince (who is also Betsy DeVos' brother) said he has provided Mueller with “total access to his phone and computer.”

Couldn't happen to a nicer species of profoundly evil pond scum.

Ned shouldn't stop, but hope there is none tbf. Nothing matters.

this is a nice little preview of what we can expect whenever trump finally leaves office: dog whistles to his supporters to incite violence

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018

Uh, I don't think he needs to leave office for that tbh.

Mid-Continent Nail of Poplar Bluff, Mo., the largest U.S. nail manufacturer, cut 60 jobs on June 15 and plans to lay off an additional 200 workers in a few days, citing plummeting sales following the imposition of Trump’s metals tariffs. The company said it may not survive past Labor Day if it doesn’t get relief from the tariffs.

“It’s not just us. There will be many, many companies that will pay a price for this,” said George Skarich, vice president of sales and marketing. “I’m disappointed in Trump. We didn’t see this coming.”

Mid-Continent’s orders for July are only 30 percent of what they were last year, and Skarich is afraid that many of his lost customers will never return.

Skarich voted for Trump, as did 79 percent of surrounding Butler County.

didn't see it coming eh

tbf, they had it on good authority that trade wars are good, and easy to win

xpost
true, but it's going to be a fucking nightmare once he does. no matter how it happens, in court or in an election, he'll claim that it was rigged and that the successor's government is illegitimate. it's almost unthinkable that he WON'T do that.

poplar bluff is a piece of shit town

Someone has a sad.

it's almost unthinkable that he WON'T do that.

although many people are saying that Trump is the healthiest person ever elected president, and many other people are saying he is God's chosen instrument to do His will here in the USA, it should be noted that he plays much golf in Florida and there is always the chance he will be struck by lightning and God will call him home.
