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

anyway, can't believe the star of one flew over ther cuckoo's nest would do this

Trump's proposed budget would steer $20,000,000 to a hospital project backed by golfer Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus lobbied Trump on the golf course in Florida. Trump personally directed HHS to earmark the funds, Politico reports. https://t.co/KcQN4gVxkK

Wonder how much tiger’s projects will get (he was on that same golf outing with Nicklaus)

That hospital's just two miles from me.

This is the most bizarre technique for blowing out birthday candles that I’ve ever witnessed. Mitt Romney is a deeply weird dude. pic.twitter.com/kLGuJawDpv

oh god hairless trump ;_;

Without clicking on the link, I wonder if he uses a blow dryer.

The only explanation for those airplane tweets I can come up with is that Trump asked to fly Air Force one

Donald Trump Awards Donald Trump Trump's 20th Trump Golf Club Championship

Physically, the man looks like some sort of hideous British dessert—some sort of meringue that’s been boiled for a day inside a pair of men’s underpants and somehow tastes exactly like baloney—and stands like he’s in the middle of a windstorm. A thin rivulet of beige liquid has been leaking from his ears since at least 2014.

i've missed romneybot, glad to see he's every bit as tantalisingly almost-human as ever

Mormons aren't allowed to blow twinkies.

The airplane tweets are about boeing's planes being grounded.

Tbf that method does more or less avoid blowing your spit germs over everyone's cake. I don't hate it.

"What are you guys gonna have?" - always a classic birthday cake joke

@CBSThisMorning
.@SenJoniErnst & @SenMikeLee are unveiling a new proposal for paid family leave.

The "Cradle Act" would allow new parents to use Social Security savings to pay for time off after birth/adoption. Users would then delay their retirement to pay the money back.

paid-by-yourself family leave

Are they fucking serious

hell yeah, that's how you win the hearts and minds of voters

Do plane crashes in Africa killing all 157 people on board not get reported in the US or something?

The plane crash isn't what prompted his tweet storm. The grounding of the aircraft model involved in many countries did.

I want to return to when planes were simple enough to be flown safely by drunks

I am scared of flying so of course I watch a lot of plane crash re-enactment shows. The idea that boeing put this new flight feature in the control system of the plane type that crashed twice now and didn't notify or train people on it terrifies me.

The FAA hasn't grounded it yet. Insists it is safe. They may be right but seems like a better idea to be safe?

Trump, despite his tweets, just oversaw the sale of 100 of these planes while in Vietnam...cos of course he did.

see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better.

Maybe he should step back on Twitter and go back to yelling at whoever crosses the village square

Of course Trump is feting the notion of 'old and simple'. Of course he is.

Can't stop, won't stop: Ilhan Omar drives the Fox hordes nuts again.

Boeing should be getting dragged in front of a house committee tbh

Can’t believe my state keeps giving tax breaks to those fuckers when they just spend the money shipping jobs to North Carolina and apparently rails of coke for the avionics engineers

Tomorrow, he suggests replacing Obamacare with leeches

it's interesting to see a Dem like Omar sussing out what any number of Republican reps have for a long time: she's going to be reelected by her district not the national press

that's a real good answer, in terms of not retreating while addressing the disparity between the Grifter and... others

More people need to point out re: Trump that taking on a vaguely-human shape does not in and of itself a human being make.

Chuck Tingle tried to tell us.

that's karl malone's handiwork iirc

Do plane crashes in Africa killing all 157 people on board not get reported in the US or something?

Africa is a shithole country and/or countries iirc

Lol, yes that is mine. I’m guessing more people saw that in chuck tingle’s tweet then saw it as the cover image to doonaldjtrump.com, which is why I made it in the first place.

I blame boing boing, who kept using it for their articles without crediting me, even after I contacted them and was told they would stop using it (which was lame because I didn’t want them to stop using it, I wanted them just give me an illustration credit)

I didn't know that was yours! I've remembered it ever since.

I blame boing boing,

Great song!!

hearing that to the tune of

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the Boing Boing

wow i didn't know Karl Malone wrote Chuck Tingle's entire bibliography. that's cool

Karl Malone has talent for more than just basketball.

I can't say I'm thrilled!

The Fake News photoshopped pictures of Melania, then propelled conspiracy theories that it’s actually not her by my side in Alabama and other places. They are only getting more deranged with time!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 13, 2019

fake Melania confirmed

remember

President Trump pointed to a window in the White House residence, and said: “She’s doing great. She’s looking at us right there.” Reporters turned to look at the spot he indicated, but there was no sign of the first lady. https://t.co/8zLn4h6YPz

still can't tell whether "fake melania" is a joke or not, either way it's not funny and i don't give a shit

60% joke, 40% I wouldn’t put it past him-ism

Well at this point a certain percentage of real Melania is probably fake anyway.

Fake Melania is so dumb and everyone participating should feel bad

hey don't disparage Fake Melania like that! she my not be the smartest Melania but she has a good heart

I must be dumb then because I'm really starting to think there might be a fake Melania
