There's a difference between "will always have a spot on Fox News" and "will get rehabbed." I mean, Kirk Cameron has a movie career, sort of.

got to revolution

The US tax system, when taking into account all taxes paid at all levels of government, is now a giant flat tax...

... which becomes regressive at the very top, with the super rich paying less than everybody else.https://t.co/3Pckj7HwfW pic.twitter.com/p2kPEbq0Vw

Whaaaaathefuckingfuck @ those Turkey tweets. Anyone unable to see his abject lunacy for what it is should be crammed into the same padded cell he winds up in.

Huckleberry upset

Mediaite reports:

One of President Donald Trump’s most reliable defenders in the Senate blasted him Monday morning over his “shortsighted and irresponsible” decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Northern Syria — paving the way for a Turkish military operation. Appearing on Fox & Friends, a program which long been on a shortlist of the president’s favorites, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) buried Trump’s decision to pullout of Syria.

“Absolutely not,” Graham said — when asked if he could support the move. “If I didn’t see Donald Trump’s name on the tweet, I thought it would be [former President Barack] Obama’s rationale for getting out of Iraq. … This is gonna lead to ISIS’ reemergence” The senator added, “So this is a big win for Iran and [Syrian president Bashar Al-] Assad. A big win for ISIS.” And after the segment, Graham continued going after the president on Twitter.

As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over...

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 7, 2019

....the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 7, 2019

he's got a point, no one better suited to destroy & obliterate an economy than Trump

ok the ' in my great and unmatched wisdom' thing is one of the balls-out craziest things he's ever said. does he think he's a fucking pharaoh?

flopsy bird (voodoo chili), Monday, 7 October 2019 17:01 (six years ago)

i mean, he definitely does think that.

flopsy bird (voodoo chili), Monday, 7 October 2019 17:04 (six years ago)

he also is part pro-wrestling villain

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Monday, 7 October 2019 17:13 (six years ago)

If he knew what a pharaoh was, he certainly would think he was one of those.

Furter-Bursting Tater Squirter (Old Lunch), Monday, 7 October 2019 17:13 (six years ago)

He's probably heard the word and thinks he understands the meaning but if you ask him questions about it it turns out he's just thinking of a mummy.

Blobfish has strong urges! Too bad they won't amount to anything

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell publicly rebuked President Trump’s plan to withdraw U.S. troops from northeast Syria, saying that a supermajority in the Senate disagreed with the president’s abrupt announcement.

“I urge the President to exercise American leadership to keep together our multinational coalition to defeat ISIS and prevent significant conflict between our NATO ally Turkey and our local Syrian counterterrorism partners,” McConnell said Monday in a statement. “Major new conflict between Turkey and our partners in Syria would seriously risk damaging Turkey’s ties to the United States and causing greater isolation for Turkey on the world stage.”

it's stupid trolly-ness but i'd love to have every press question and every heckle about donny end up with the word jail. or at least mention it. press: "how do you feel about your former staff, like manafort and cohen, being in jail?" "do you ever visit anyone in jail?" "are you concerned that after your presidency, you could be charged again, and end up in jail?" crowds: "YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL!" "JAIL TRUMP" "JAIL JAIL JAIL!"

it's totally "lock her up" shit, but i still want it.

sorry, sometimes you get a feeling.

Hunt3r, Monday, 7 October 2019 18:44 (six years ago)

So weird how encouraging a force of chaos to do whatever he wants might, at some point, stop working in your favor. SO WEIRD, RIGHT, MITCH? HUH, LINDSAY? WEIRD! WHODATHUNKIT!?

Furter-Bursting Tater Squirter (Old Lunch), Monday, 7 October 2019 18:45 (six years ago)

McConnell: "No problem, Old Lunch. If Trump starts to run amok, we'll just put him on this Constitutional Leash I have here."

McConnell confidently pats his breast pocket. His face goes blank. Begins to investigate his other pockets, increasingly frantically. Bill Barr whispers something in Justice Gorsuch's ear and they both start snickering.
