US Politics March 2019: “I can’t say I’m happy. I can’t say I’m thrilled”

huh

is trump conscious or aware enough of twitter to know what 'liking' things means

almost certainly not

Why is Bibi not in prison yet, I haven’t been keeping up with that story

I believe the NYT suggested some think he is "indispensible" to Israel

...why are you shouting at yourself?

ref to idiot thread

That was already posted twice in the Venezuela thread.

🔥Mueller has “completed his report. It is said to recommend indicting 3 of @realDonaldTrump’s children—Don Jr, Ivanka & Eric—as well as Jared Kushner...Mueller wants Trump himself to be indicted. Barr is said to oppose this.”

Hence, the delay...🧐https://t.co/7Htd7mOhJS

what is spectator.us

The Spectator is a right wing UK magazine.

... don't know if they're connected.

there's a 'go to spectator uk' link at the top of the page which leads to the right-wing uk magazine, so i assume they must be?

The columnist had predicted — in a piece published earlier this week in The Spectator — that Mueller would submit his report in an official capacity on Friday, March 8. But that did not happen. Cockburn then went back to his sources to find out why his earlier prediction was wrong. That is when he was told by his sources that the report had been scheduled for a March 8 delivery, but the disagreement between Mueller and Barr over an indictment caused the announcement to be postponed.

see i'm still right

I thought that guy who predicted the rapture died

At a recent round table meeting of business executives, & long after formally introducing Tim Cook of Apple, I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words. The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2019

but he just said yesterday that he actually said "Tim Cook Apple"

yeah but that's a complete sentence. no one really believes he's spoken one of those.

this happened on wednesday - good to know trump's definitely not been stewing on it for nearly a week before taking to twitter to explain that his brain isn't melting, actually, how dare u

Holy shit, he used a big word almost correctly.

By which I mean "recent."

I know it shouldn't be shocking to see the President of the United States get himself caught up in such an obvious and pointless lie, and yet here we are. it's like I'm not fully desensitized yet

not to mention the idea of Donald Trump trying to save "time & words"

when you spend 2+ hours humping the flag and screaming about socialism to a room full of mutants you gotta make up that time on the back end.

Is there like a filter I can use to have every presidential utterance sent directly to my spam folder?

I mean, give me a heads up if he announces that he's sent the missiles a-flying but I'm otherwise just done being reminded of his blighted existence.

DONALD TRUMP ON MARCH 12, 2019: "actually I said tim cuck apple"

The American public could take a page from the book of Trump's parents re: neglecting the living fuck out of him.

yeah, I don't think I recall anything GWB said or did in the final year he was in office. I wish I could tune Trump out like that.

At least GWB was smart enough the stfu during the financial crisis.

Milwaukee's great.

Guess they want to make sure they don’t accidentally forget to campaign in the upper Midwest again

that's why Clinton lost, recall

Pelosi:

There have been increasing calls, including from some of your members, for impeachment of the president.

I’m not for impeachment. This is news. I’m going to give you some news right now because I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.

She's right. Why announce what you're going to do before the evidence has accumulated and anyone has voted? The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation. That's how Watergate began.

maybe i'm giving pelosi too much credit, but there's an argument that trump is the ideal candidate to run against in 2020, and impeachment is likely to be a distraction from that, perhaps even one that benefits him.

enh fuckit let’s just hand control of the government over to skynet at this point why not xp
