The August 2019 US Politics Thread is dumb (stupid}

He doesn't consider it part of the country until he wins their electoral votes and/or puts a hotel there.

farmers can boo all they want, they're still voting Trump in 2020

Trump 2020: Make Repeatedly Punching Yourself in the Face Great Again!

Surprised he hasn't announced a deal with Denmark to trade Puerto Rico for Greenland.

I'm seeing a lot of "is Trump really blaming PR for the hurricanes" sorta takes right now and the answer is no, he's not saying it's their fault, he's saying they aren't worth the money, which is far worse

Yeah, that's a misreading, for sure. He isn't blaming PR, he's blaming the storm. I think that he thinks it's alive, possibly also that it's magical? Kinda just reading between the lines. He definitely thinks it possesses some kind of sentience and that its decision to wreak havoc is ridiculous.

This low-energy storm blowing into Puerto Rico is a total loser. We already cleaned up your brother's mess! Why do we need weather anyway? I hereby order all clouds to go back to Mexico! #buildtheskywall

just in time for hurricane season

Did they try that last year too or just talk about it? THink I remember it being talked about before.
Really stupid move. & this is the beginning of the bad part of hurricane season after last year had several multi-hundred year storms.
Would think that would be a move taht would sink a normal incumbency.
So what's new?

god i wish something was new

Like I default to saying 'wild dogs' as my preference just because that kinda naturally follows from 'I want to see him ripped apart by' but heck, something smaller could do just as much damage and extend the glorious spectacle. It's something to consider, when the time comes.

weasels in heat descend upon him trying to fuck his combover, proceed to ripping him apart in fury when the entire candyfloss edifice evaporates after three firm, weaselly thrusts?

That's what I'm saying, just have fun with it. We'll only have the one shot, guys.

three firm, weaselly thrusts

Dying...

Surprised Trump hasn't proposed the long term solution of just nuking PR.

What weather gods do you need to get down with to get a storm directed straight at mar a lago?

lol If a storm hit his house he'd immediately executive order himself 92 billion in aid.

It is amazing that I can be at 51% with Zogby when the Fake & Corrupt News is almost 100% against me. Great job Mr. President!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 27, 2019

congrats on your 51% Zogby rating Mr. President!!

How's he doing with Zagat?

hey Nancy why can't we impeach this guy again

Reagan's cumming in his grave

Asked for comment, a White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the president is joking when he makes such statements about pardons.

Lol. Good one.

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Pardon?

Pardon who?

PARDON YOU!!

the worst episode of matlock ever

Reagan's cumming in his grave

reagan in the bardo

Not just high crimes and misdemeanours but crimes against humanity.
Hope people can form an orderly line when they're vying to be first up against the wall come the revolution.
Or is that 2nd, seems like one obvious person wilfully doing things and numerous others bending over backwards to capitulate.
& is McConnell as bad or worse than t.

Just heard on last night's Chris Hayes that Trump's trade war BS is meaning that China is looking for alternative markets for products which include Brazil. So is that a contributory factor to the fires in the Amazon. Or would that market for Brazil have been there anyway.

Hayes or his guest also said that once China has moved over to the alternative market it is very unlikely to switch back.
Could see taht as an opportunity to switch over to more environmentally friendly crops or produce but not very likely.

The 'I was just joking, gawww!' defense is the time-honored hallmark of an irredeemable asshole.

The President is joking when he implies that newborn refugee babies will die in cages but also it will happen.

How's he doing with Zagat?

This “stable genius” tucked away on Pennsylvania Ave will make you “want to murder him in his sleep" and appeals to guests by a combination of "graft, intimidation, flattery, and race-baiting." Morning visitors can catch this "subliterate" "disgusting bag of shit" with "the moral compass of Leopold II" and "obvious and serious mental problems" prone on his tannning bed, "just pretty much constantly and unconvincingly lying" through his "anus-like mouth."

Just watched @FoxNews heavily promoting the Democrats through their DNC Communications Director, spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by anchor, @SandraSmithFox. Terrible considering that Fox couldn’t even land a debate, the Dems give them NOTHING! @CNN & @MSNBC....

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 28, 2019

....are all in for the Open Border Socialists (or beyond). Fox hires “give Hillary the questions” @donnabrazile, Juan Williams and low ratings Shep Smith. HOPELESS & CLUELESS! They should go all the way LEFT and I will still find a way to Win - That’s what I do, Win. Too Bad!....

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 28, 2019

god there is such a fucking canyon between the hardnosed strongman his supporters think he is and how incredibly whiny and desperate to be victimized he is in real life

....I don’t want to Win for myself, I only want to Win for the people. The New @FoxNews is letting millions of GREAT people down! We have to start looking for a new News Outlet. Fox isn’t working for us anymore!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 28, 2019

lmaooo he's gonna go all in on OANN or whatever the fuck that internet bootlicker network is

Didn't expect this turn against Fox tbh, tactical tho it may be.

That’s what I do, Win. Too Bad!

trump otm

is he bringing it all back around to Trump TV?

yes now known as https://www.oann.com/

"That’s what I do, Win."

Who talks like this

Chuck Norris after a stroke?

"You've got shitty shoes on, you shitty shoed bastard"

dj khaled xxp

onan.com u say

I'm not going to even post his most recent tweet this morning about TS Dorian and Puerto Rico.

lol he makes it seem like even the storms have it out for him. FAke TroPicAL StorM!

Let me guess: is it the kind of pointlessly provocative statement that if uttered by any other human being would lead to them being understandably beaten in the street?

"Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) said Wednesday that he will resign at the end of 2019, citing health problems."

I was about to post! Good news.

what do you know

This story is a real bombshell. Reporter Ryan Grim reveals that one of the biggest culprits of Amazon destruction is a US company, Blackstone, whose CEO is close friends with Trump and bankrolls the US Senate leader Republican Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/Kphs5dPA70

Blackstone owns my company. Ugh.
