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

"Oh, you let children be killed by dogs? What a big strong man you are! Trump 2020! MAGA! MAGA!"

He's waaay ahead of your sarcasm. During the 2016 campaign he made a point of how he would destroy ISIS by murdering their families. His supporters, of course, loved it.

New York times headline claims this raid was opportunistic, and happened in spite of Trump, not because of him.

i just don't understand what he means by "take the oil." the (alleged) bush way was install puppet regimes that would give favorable contracts to US oil companies. in the case of syria, it would mean establishing favorable terms with assad in order to do this?

like what does he mean we have "secured" oil fields

There's little reason to doubt that the intelligence agencies and military would have been tracking the whereabouts of Baghdadi as best they could, along with having a few contingency plans for killing him, if the chance presented, without Trump ever having been involved in it right up to the moment that his authorization was needed. But the operation would absolutely have needed authorization. Too many political considerations come attached to assassinations for such a thing to happen without it.

Hill resigning.

Trump made good on his threat to show up at a World Series game. It went either really well or really poorly, depending on your perspective. (There's another video of people chanting "Lock him up!")

Here’s video of Trump getting booed again, this time by the whole stadium. pic.twitter.com/ppRpQzWWap

Look how Trump’s face changes when he realizes an entire stadium is booing him pic.twitter.com/E46rzbzmbl

exquisite

John Conyers Jr has died

I read more into the stadium full of boos than his facial expression. The ginks who live in Enid, OK and love Trump will probably dismiss this as "those liberals in Washington, DC", but middle class DC (who can afford the tickets) usually applauds presidents regardless of their party.

I was saying Boo-urns.

why didn't he take barron to the world series?

He looks like he doesn't understand why the stadium is booing his wife.

XP Barron's probably heard about the perils of attending games w/Dad from DJTJ.

I was half-asleep, but I'm pretty sure that at one point Trump essentially said, "...a canine--for you lay people, that's a dog."

clemenza that's amazing if true and why wouldn't it be?

Trump does not know the term "lay people," and was not helpfully dumbing it down for others. He said "Our canine, I call it a dog, a beautiful dog, a talented dog, was injured and brought back."

yeah, trump wears a TIE to extrajudicially release the hounds on three children #presidential

The Katie Hill story (the iron cross tattoo did give me pause).

It really amazing how many Libs can't even permit Trump to have *one good day* (nobody will remember this stuff by Tuesday) after US forces kill perhaps the world's most wanted terrorist.

Nate Silver is a weird dude he also thought Bullock and Klobuchar had good debate performances

Here's a stat for Nate: Three children also killed

...because US forces merely watched said terrorist blow himself up?

that fake photograph taken to cover for the fact that Trump was golfing while it happened is just the most pathetic thing, I'm glad its getting coverage

fuck him. this is the same guy who did a media tour to complain about Obama's positive press coverage when Bin Laden got killed. he doesn't deserve "one good day".

He deserves an angry Willy Wonka "good day, sir!" gif on his way out.

incredible work there

Has he made any other major public appearances as president that weren't before a cherrypicked crowd of slavering Trumpites? I think his weekend 'victory' may have compromised his judgment a little.

yeah those people should have been cheering him for killing that guy they first heard of yesterday!

This was reportedly his first ever public appearance as president in a not controlled environment.

I'm no lip reader but I have to assume when his face falls in that video he's just quietly muttering 'f-fake news...fake news' to himself.

probably wondering why they're booing Melania so much

xpost Ehh, I can't see him exhibiting that much curiosity about an NPC.

Every president, with the exception of Trump, has thrown out a ceremonial first pitch, either for Opening Day, the All-Star Game or the World Series, a custom begun by President William Howard Taft in 1910.

Another one to add to the articles of impeachment

that genie is definitely out of the bottle, joe, and you can take a good deal of the credit for its escape through your regular cheerleading for trump in 2016

you witless fuck

It's weird that Americans keep things that Americans don't do

Amazing how the whole stadium knew that phrase. Wonder where they learned it?

A reminder that Morning Schmoe gives Wall Street plutocrat Steve Rattner a platform to play Reasonable Democrat, allows its hosts to take a day or two off a week, and reruns the first hour in its third.

allows its hosts to take a day or two off a week

unacceptable!!!

lock'em up!

Iirc Carter did not throw out a pitch as a sitting present.

president

Hard to throw a baseball while wearing a cardigan and having the burden of a malaise iirc

lol Carter threw first pitch in 1995?

Reagan threw first pitch from inside a Bradley tank iirc

Controversial opinion: I'm sick of everyone trying to make hate porn out of pictures or videos of Trump and other idiots. Not because I wouldn't watch a looping gif of him getting kicked in the balls all day, but because the interpretations of an unflattering pic of him, say, winding up for a sneeze ends up spinning out of control into all sorts of pathetic fan faction about how "he knows he's fucked" or "he's having a tantrum cause Pelosi just owned him". Even if the narrative is close to the truth it still gets all sorts of melodrama pumped into it in an unsubtle attempt to pretend karma actually exists.

With this booing video, you have the one with audio where you can see him and everyone else standing there smiling and clapping through the boos, then there is the one without audio that claims to be the same moment and yet he claps for a second by himself and does a timid little wave and his face drops (this is supposed to be where he feels bad about the booing). They were different moments. Maybe they booed that time too. Or maybe that time the jumbotron cut elsewhere and that's why his face dropped. I wasn't there.

I'm not defending him; I hate him more than I've ever hated anyone in my entire life. I'm just sick of this corny caption contest thing we do to make ourselves feel better. I think youtube reaction video title cards and other clickbait is to blame, combined with the lack of consequences for any of these jackasses so far.

Good Morning!

i agree with evan

yeah I agree with that for the most part too, I remember how every pic of Obama frowning was co-opted in a dozen different ways and it's dumb to assume Trump is capable of any sort of self-reflection whatsoever. that said I think the booing video is something different, it is one of the very very few times he's appeared in a crowd that he wasn't able to hand-select & I think he legitimately felt like he'd be treated like a hero cuz they got some ISIS guy
