Black like your sole

the Yankees first pitch story is so fucking weird, any other person on the planet who tried that would never be taken seriously again

he's done it before. not with the Yankees, but backing out of invites he never actually received.

the episode of seinfeld where george temporarily becomes the owner of the new york yankees

It's not a new insight, nor probably helpful to continue pointing out, but it still blows me away that this numbnuts shits out something on a near daily basis that would have fed FOX news with months of outrage and probably instigated immediate hearings had Obama done the same.

what, you mean like if Obama had ordered federal troops to US cities on a vague "peacekeeping" mission clearly designed to create television footage for his election campaign? naaaaah, conservatives wouldn't be angry about that.

he's done it before. not with the Yankees, but backing out of invites he never actually received.

Yeah, of course that. Obama would have been impeached within days for that one. I'm also talking about the constant lying and smaller, more insidious shit that also would have freaked the GOP out. Instead we're all just in this "lol, oh Donald" place with it. It's maddening.

I had a prez
Donald was his name
Since he took office
I've never been the same
'Cause I hate this fuck
Donald, why won't you leave?

Numbnuts don't care about federal troops in the streets because numbnuts have been allowed to stockpile guns to defend themselves from violent government overreach, duh. Other presidents might not have sent troops to cities, but they would have taken away guns, so how could numbnuts defend their liberties? The logic is airtight.

yeah they're still treating him like he's a fucking Jersey Shore character

They don't call it the Situation Room for nothing.

Utterly cursed.

beatle boots

he's an autocratic quite-fascistic psychopathic beatle booter

I thought "beatle boots" were chelseas? (i.e., laceless)

https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/kenosha-business-owner-declines-president-trump-photo-op-former-owner-replaces-him

they couldn't find anyone in kenosha to participate in trump's photo-op. they wanted to pose at a camera store but the business owner declined (“I think everything he does turns into a circus and I just didn’t want to be involved in it”). so instead, they found the former owner of the store (and current owner of the property, even though he no longer owns the store) and just pretended that he was the current owner.

To Gram’s surprise, he watched on TV as the president showed up with the store’s former owner and President Trump made it seem like the store was still his.

“John Rode III, owner of Rode’s Camera Shop,” President Trump said as he introduced Rode during a round table conversation on Tuesday.

...“I just appreciate President Trump coming today, everybody here does,” Rode said. “We’re so thankful we got the federal troops here. Once they got here things did calm down quite a bit.”

“A day earlier would have saved his store,” President Trump responded.

Gram said President Trump’s references to John Rode III as the owner of Rode’s Camera Shop and it being “his store” were deceptive. Gram says he is disappointed Rode III’s comments Tuesday were construed to reflect the views of current ownership.

so fucking pathetic. you can't find a real person willing to be on tv with the president

Only new thing here (AFAICT) is the sociopathy on display at a visit to Arlington cemetery:

Atlantic: Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

according to sources with knowledge of this visit, Trump, while standing by Robert Kelly’s grave, turned directly to his father and said, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” Kelly (who declined to comment for this story) initially believed, people close to him said, that Trump was making a ham-handed reference to the selflessness of America’s all-volunteer force. But later he came to realize that Trump simply does not understand non-transactional life choices.

“He can’t fathom the idea of doing something for someone other than himself,” one of Kelly’s friends, a retired four-star general, told me. “He just thinks that anyone who does anything when there’s no direct personal gain to be had is a sucker. There’s no money in serving the nation.” Kelly’s friend went on to say, “Trump can’t imagine anyone else’s pain. That’s why he would say this to the father of a fallen marine on Memorial Day in the cemetery where he’s buried.”

Good bullet point summary of his relationship with the military:

THe heels on a Beatle boot are a lot more shapely. They're Cuban, I think they were originally related to flamenco dancing and similar styles.
THis would indicate taht people thinking he was lying about being 6ft 2 a few years ago might have something to go on. I thought there was a widespread rumour that he wore internal lifts like Alan Ladd or others. & it had been put forward as a possible reason he stood in that half centaur stance.
That kind of block heel would seem to be a bit conspicuous though.

Half centaur (1/4 horse?) stance makes sense, considering his heels make it look like he has hooves. You know, like the Devil.

Isn't that a satyr. I think the reason that it's thought of as being a half centaur is that it looks like a stance off set by having the weight of a 4 legged body balancing it, but that body isn't where it was meant to be. Like he stands in a way reminiscent of the front part of a horse body just cuts off at that point. & to make more sense and be healthy with that stance he'd have to have teh rest oif taht body.
Since he doesn't he looks a bit weird.

Satyrs were teh creatures with goat legs, tended to be more hedonistic etc like Pan and a few others.

I mean yeah can see that that's Simpsons' christian neighbour depicted as the devil but in Greece tehre's adifference between a centaur and a satyr.

Oh, for sure, I was just making a joke. Centaur is a horse with a man's torso and above. Satyr is a man's torso and above on goat legs. But Flanders is still the Devil.

Trump probably envisions himself a manly centaur, but he's really just a run of the mill satyr.

When you've gone past satire to satyr.

Nobody likes Reverse Centaur.

hahaha

horse dad with giant horse dick: do not look at human dick, my son

we horses have perfect, blessed dicks. the human dicks are shameful and cursed

they're just so...out there and in your face

Omg Becky, look at his dick

endangering his secret service detail in order to give his fans a drive by greeting is unfathomably callous. he should be especially sensitive to the fact that contracting the disease is a serious concern given that two days ago he was reportedly panicking about it himself as his oxygen levels dropped to concerning levels.

He also made some comment about "meeting some of the soldiers" there. Not sure if he was bullshitting trying to sound commander-in-chief-y.

why should he worry about giving covid to someone else? by definition, someone else is not him, so...

?

he does not believe that other people are even real, with the possible exception of one (1) of his five publicly-known children

exactly

that is why i bumped the psychopath thread. maybe he is just a narcissist. i don't know if labels help, but there is something "off" about this dude.

I'm wondering if there is one thing "on" about this dude

I think Trump is stupid and reckless and a bad person in pretty much every sense of the word but this joyride thing is the first time I've thought he's literally an insane person

I don't know where the line between hyper-narcissist and psychopath is, or if the two aren't really connected. If such a line does exist, he has put down a marker where it is the past few days.

He's also quite clueless in gauging public reaction beyond his cult.

conservative america thinks 'freedom' is the unrestrained right to dominate. trump has no sense of others beyond himself at all, therefore he's maybe the purest possible embodiment of this ideal.

Put it this way: if 1% of the population is a sociopath, I find it hard to believe that there are 780 million people on the planet who care less about others than he does.
