Ten-year-old nabisco offTM:

Here's something funny: when I was ten years old I had a vague admiration for Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca (both very feted at the time) and a downright intense love of Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties, who I didn't understand to be something of a joke. As such, despite having really liked Mondale -- having a woman as a running mate impressed me, probably because of the mother/father dynamic of it -- I was convinced that I wanted to be a Republican and a businessman or lawyer of some sort. In fact, I started a "company" with my friends Brian and Jeff -- we made board games, and hired Tony, the best breakdancer I have ever known, to do the art -- and I was constantly attempting to read the law and economics books in my father's library. Everyone seemed to think this was "cute," though I sort of wish someone had just explained politics to me. In either case, I got over it quickly and went back to wanting to be a writer.

i suppose 'classic' in that he's all a lot of people can think about or talk about and his brain dmamage is so powerful it's infected the world

p bad president and person tho

takes balls to rock that combover day in and out

I can see the blood from the man-flesh on his teeth!

What you lookin' at?
You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be?
You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say,
"That's the bad guy.
" So... what that make you? Good? You're not good.
You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
So say good night to the bad guy!
Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you.
Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

You certainly don't, pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them; you can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit. You ARE shit! Hit the bricks, pal, and beat it 'cause you are going OUT!

Search: "move on her like a bitch"

Destroy: everything else

"Trump never said he had tapes, he just inferred that he did. And it is not intimidating a witness since Comey is telling the truth and knew that any tapes would prove his version of events."

everyone is classic but not everyone should be president

President Don once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme for a savior machine

Trump lingered last in line for brains
And the one he got was sorta rotten and insane
Small hands (so sad!), a rust-hued clown
Is Trump fast asleep or rockin' out with Three Doors Down?

haven't thought about this guy for a while. i think he was popular in the 80s?

Overrated

I think he'd make really great hog slurry. You can really tell a lot about a man by the way his pureed corpus fills a trough.

I think you might need to look into a thing called history if you think this is the most violent nation ever.

you suggest Panama?

libs/"centrists" for sure

it's sobering to realize that Trump is probably the most famous person in human history now

*not adjusted for population inflation

indicative of a deep flaw in our universe

truly he is king of the narcissist personality disorder sufferers

i think jesus still beats him out unless we're only counting contemporaneous fame

Michael Jackson sold a hundred million records

contemporaneous fame. MJ is up there but there are twice as many people on Earth now than there were in 1984.

Donlad Turmp sold a hundred million and one. Sad!

Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

I think you might need to look into a thing called history if you think this is the most violent nation ever.

idk Native American genocide plus slavery plus nuclear bomb-dropping... surely we're in the running

probably a million people killed by u.s. in vietnam/laos/cambodia. nobody will ever know how many. not pol pot numbers, but still...

mao would be the world champ though.

it's sobering to realize that Trump is probably the most famous person in human history now

this is a ridiculous statement

Man, if only Trump would tweet that he's bigger than Jesus...

well he's certainly fatter

The New Republic has an article about how disastrous that appearance was, and how the hosts were cackling at Trump bragging about his "weaving" but clicking around the video it's a bunch of stuff like "Everyone I talk to, no matter what race, loves you, sir."

News outlets don't seem very good at covering comedy podcasts or comedy in general imo. I wish they just stop doing it. I also read The New Republic article and it completely mischaracterized the tone of the podcast.

Okay I saw a trailer for this Trump movie and the premise seems to be that Trump was some sort of winsome naïf before Roy Cohn set him on the straight and narrow path to hell? Do I have that right?

I believe the movie dwells on his family dynamics, too; I know Fred Trump Sr is a character (played by Martin Donovan!)

this is being forwarded again - that first call happened, but did the rest?

7/31/2019 Trump meets w/ Putin. 8/3/2019, just 3 days later, Trump requests a list of US spies. By 2021 the CIA reports a high number of their agents are being captured and/or murdered. An FBI search at Mar A Lago finds more documents
w/ lists of our spies on them. Treason?

it doesn't matter anymore, if it ever did

he's a felon running against a prosecutor and all the cops are supporting the felon

you either support trump or you don't; facts are beside the point

Not to overestimate the competence of the CIA but if that report were true then one of the recent assassination attempts wouldn't have missed.

Also it was an official act, so totally legal!

everyone knows that trump was undercover trying to get enough evidence to put putin away forever when joe biden STOLE the election and trump couldn't finish the job!

Guys he was a quintuple agent!

Look at the background behind him

What the ever living fuck is he saying?

Kamala told the gangs: "Go ahead, kill the police; I'm giving you the green light."

"Deport Now"

it's fucking surreal, like some satirical movie ala 'wag the dog' or something

How can he even form sentences at this point

This is straight up Hitler shit

I feel like he’s about to overplay his hand. It’s a gut feeling but he’s about to go too far.

We've been waiting eight years for the Judge Welch moment...hope you're right, but it just never comes.

You can't get good secret service protection because they're using all the agents to protect migrants.

Or his Budd Dwyer moment

jeez, he called harris "retarded". not sure i was capable of hating him in a new way

oh. he's mad about not getting to play golf.

That tension has become more acute since Mr. Trump’s campaign has had to adjust some events because of heightened security threats against him. Because of those threats, he’s given up playing golf, his favorite method of relaxation, for the remainder of the campaign.

seriously, that's it. he's becoming even more angry and repulsive, partly because he wants more money for his campaign, but 99% of it is that he wants to play golf

I’ve noticed a huge uptick in right-wing people using the R word online.

"repulsive"

Republican

Retardican

Two can play at this ill-advised game!

Let's not tho eh?

When "libtard" is your put-down of choice, you are not only comfortable with that word, you are going out of your way to find opportunities to use it.

What caught my eye from that NYT article was a bit different:

His campaign has been more clearly yoking Ms. Harris to President Biden and making the case that she failed to get her agenda through in three and a half years as vice president.

Thx NYT reporters for blandly repeating a totally bogus criticism of Harris. VPs do not have an agenda of their own, in part because they have exactly no power to enact their own agenda. The closest any VP ever came to that was Dick Cheney, owing solely to Dubya being such a malleable, self-deluded clown.

I dunno. Holding a sitting Vice President running for office for the Presidents policy is a pretty standard thing to do. Especially because Vice Presidents almost always champion the policies of the President. It’s happened every time a Vice President has ran from either party.

Tying her to Biden is broadly legit, in the same way that tying a Congressional incumbent to Biden is legit. After all, she's willing to associate herself with all of Biden's legislative wins, like the Inflation Reduction Act. But the Trump campaign has gone much further in its ads saying that Harris is ineffective because whatever she says she will do in her first term as president she should already have accomplished as VP. Which is bogus criticism that appeals to voters' ignorance.

But the specific criticism “If you want to do all this stuff now, why haven’t you done it for the past 4 years ?” Is stupid and has an obvious answer “Because she wasn’t the president” But that can’t be said because Harris cannot project that she has no power as VP.

This photo, posted by John Cornyn, is amazing. Trump looks like he shit in his hands and rubbed it all over his face.

Nah, he's matching his face to his buddies shoes. That's thoughtful.

This is what got Justin Trudeau and Ralph Northam in trouble
