US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.

He can admit it all he wants, seeking foreign dirt on a political rival is fine when a Republican does it.

I wouldn't trust anyone this stupid with a pair of scissors.

Someone please hand him a pair of scissors. And then, I dunno, tell him he has a fly on his forehead.

Well then:

Trump admits he asked Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden, and asks China to do the same. Like Nixon telling America "I ordered the break in." pic.twitter.com/Zw3aZby4uc

"now they're trying to do it the opposite way but they got rid."

cue the evergreen jesse farrar tweet

The guy has not had to withstand any single consequence for his actions in 73 years, why do people expect him to start fearing them now?

crooked and much more than that if was me then everybody was fifty thousand and investigate China and other words I am saying

I'm going to be like those people that go to South America for dental and plastic surgeries, except to Europe for cheese and Scotch

Like if his face opened and nothing came out but fax noises people would still stroke their chins and nod and write think pieces about what exactly he meant by AFPO8DSHLAVBKJAB13948HBKFJBABADFKJHALDJFVK

The Voynich manuscript made flesh.

xpost ok, what sleeve said above "DIVIDE by markup, i.e. 50/0.75 (25%) = 66.6 which is the same as 50 * 1.333" is correct. and this is a “general” formula for wine and spirits pricing in the US. There are variables, distributors sometimes and retailers use different margins.

They say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation...I think you're surrounding yourself with I don't know, I don't know, I just know I'm a patriot and that's my life. HBO...the people, the country...but when you have a foreign nation that has your information and does not tell you whether it's legitimate or not...that's something that's gonna blow your mind in a different way than watching, or listening to, an American who believes that he's just like me....you do a lot in the public sphere that are not well-served, well-understood, well-considered. And so, I don't know how this ends, at the end of the day. It will just be...people will say well how many more people?

the AI has found its perfect use case

all it's missing is "we'll see what happens" at the end

"Better Alec Baldwin"

Is this a rare instance where a Beto-style "enough of this bullshit!" response might get some traction?

So apparently at Fox News you can parrot a wide range of conspiracy theories & falsely claim white supremacy is a “hoax,” but saying this gets you fired?

I’m just trying to figure out where the line is 🤷🏽‍♀️

After all, how was he supposed to know this was below their standards? https://t.co/qELhdI9MT8

Sorry, that string of random AI-generated text is just way too coherent to pass as a Trumpian utterance.

"We worship the pagan god Moloch, and don't you forget it!"

todd starnes is out of his mind

everyone knows we worship Baal

Ok doubling down on asking foreign countries to do sham investigations on the Bidens is pretty funny.

Why didn’t he just have Barr open an investigation himself?

He’s not above that. He re-opened the hillary investigation

I haven't heard anyone invoke Moloch since Allen Ginsberg, but i'm never at the cool parties

what sleeve said above [...] is correct.

I'm glad we got this sorted out, Yerac!

I thought we were worshiping Mammon. I've been getting this wrong.

I mean, I ride hard for Prince Stolas, too

these are worthwhile because they will help boeing make better self-crashing planes

I guess my vague awareness of Moloch's existence might look like devout worship from the perspective of god-fearing republicans who make a game of pissing daily into the face of their own deity of choice.

I don't know why Republicans always want to paint our child sacrificing as some kind of religious thing

It's gotta be the embroidered robes.

well, you know what they say - conservatives only care human lives up until the moment they come out of the womb, while liberals only care about a baby's suitability for sacrifice to Baal

Would love to see DJT in his current mental state debate Kamala Harris.

Dude's brain is like a laptop with a tangerine in the battery slot

He couldn't even debate Jeff Dunham

"You're the puppet!"

https://youtu.be/CPNaaogT8fs?t=114

Assuming he's still in office in a year, I'm having a hard time believing he'll agree to any debates.

he'll tweet the answers per agreement with the networks

Welp Federalist and FoxNews both say they have a source saying Volker's testimony is a setback for Schiff so impeachment is over guys, sry to be bearer of bad news

WEll it was a nice try but you just can't win against this epic goodness can you?

Have just been hoping that there's no way that the requested quid pro quo being a thing of conspiratorial fiction wasn't something they could spin. Given the right judge or whatever, can't6 indict such a saint over a fictional server can you?

Did t go to Ukraine to ask them to out that Ukraine had helped concoct the russian hoax. Really don't see what was supposed to be in ukraine's interests to do that. Or was it just that the current Ukraine President would be throwing the previous one under the bus and everybody knows that any real winner would be all about that wouldn't they? Can't quite get into the mentality

Quid pro quo is irrelevant (though of course it is obviously there). The truth of the Biden stuff is also irrelevant (though of course it is not true).

Soliciting foreign help in elections is plainly illegal on its face.

...doesn't need to have been paid for, doesn't need to have worked, doesn't need to have been decisive.

And, get this, it is still illegal *even if someone else has also done it*.

Just as if I am speeding and someone else is also speeding and I get caught, I still get a ticket. Amazing how laws work.

In 1984, Trump was just coming off the buzz of opening Trump Tower. His Trump Plaza on Third Avenue was about to open, and he had wildly ambitious plans to build more. And what better architect to design it than Philip Johnson, whose AT&T Building, with its pseudo-Chippendale roof, had landed Johnson on the cover of Time? Trump was no aesthete, but great press was something he understood. In fact, Trump Tower had been — as it’s described in Mark Lamster’s 2018 Johnson biography The Man in the Glass House — “a glitzified imitation of Johnson’s IDS Tower in Minneapolis, right down to its zigzag corner and retail atrium.” It wasn’t long before Trump was visiting Johnson’s offices, the Times reporter William E. Geist in tow. “Trump is mad and wonderful,” Johnson told Geist, as his staff brought out a model of a project called Trump Castle. It was bizarre, even for the ’80s: six cylindrical towers, like the round turrets at the corners of a medieval English castle, their floor plans overlapping slightly. And (you knew this was coming) surrounding the whole thing was a moat. With, yes, alligators. At Madison and 60th Street! (In the warm months, at least; no record seems to exist of whether the moat would be heated, or whether the gators would accompany the building’s older residents to Florida each winter.)

I can’t imagine the pee tape being more than a day’s news at this point, unless they’re boys and/or underage.

ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
