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?

Murricuns electing Donald Trump: Classic or dud?

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.

red means 'run, son. numbers add up to nothin'

Like a hastily-assembled meat collage.

hard to tell who is more obsessed with him the right or the left.

also the media love/hate thing is so cute. get a room you two.

He is only as wicked and hellspawned as the hatred and resentment simmering in the heartland of the most violent nation ever

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?

the 1997 NYer profile of Trump is start-to-finish amazing but if I had to pick a favorite part it's this https://t.co/reqFZ79eZd pic.twitter.com/Qnwnuiyxqh

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

this has nothing to do with actual fraud, and is only about stopping people they do not want to vote from voting, and casting doubt and confusion over the voting process, so that if they lose, they can say it was due to fraud.

Truth is never an effective counter to American exceptionalism.

Trump and the GOP's entire worldview is that the people who do not vote for them are illegitimate

He WON and he still whinged about fraudulent voting didnt he? I have to stop thinking about this turd in a wig. It is angrying up my blood and I dont even live in the US.

Republicans should take heart, inspire of compulsory voting, pre-polling and mail in ballots; Australia still elects a parade of fascist shitweasels into government.

Well yes, this is (mostly) true but in our defence, they won legitimately because everyone in this country loves a man in uniform.

Compulsory voting probably favors incumbent parties and candidates even more than our model, because you’re encouraging the CGLOAF demographic to come out and vote.

Trump and McEnany said Trump had to vote by mail because he couldn't be in Florida to do it in person.

Wrong. He was there for 2 full early voting days. A voting site was *across the street from his golf club.* He drove past it 6 times.@Kevinliptakcnn: https://t.co/EaZBU73F4Z

on balance, probably a dud

This executive order being issued against Twitter and Facebook today is quite a blindingly shiny infrastructure distraction (and in record time, it feels like).

http://www.cnn.com/2020/05/28/politics/trump-twitter-social-media-executive-order/index.html

If I'm reading that right, it will allow lawsuits to go forward a lot easier.

But the order could quickly find itself in a thicket of legal and constitutional questions as the White House tests the boundaries of its authority.

What barriers slow down or stop executive orders?

Lawsuits, injunctions against implementation/enforcement while the whole mess plays out in court.

wow took this fucker weeks to react to a pandemic in his own country but a twitter factcheck brings out the EO in 2 days

This looks like a mistake, he has the balance on social media exactly in his favour right now, special rules for himself, but all unwritten so with plausible deniability. Facebook and Twitter got him into power, if Zuckerberg and Dorsey wanted to flex right now they could demonstrate this.

OTOH I'd like to see Trump wriggle his way out of this sticky situation, etc.

(xposts) So nothing happens then if he loses in November. Good--because you know ILX is next on his list.

banning twitter might be the first he does that I like

Wouldn't this exec order create more twitter censorship? They would be held accountable when Trump says libelous things.

You figure at some point his nose has to stop growing back after he petulantly spites his face.

Update on the nose/face showdown:

The president's clash with tech companies comes at a delicate moment. Unlike most American firms, these companies — which are used to working remotely and do not rely on physical locations for sales — have performed strongly throughout the pandemic and have helped to drive the stock market recovery.

Which is pretty much his be-all and end-all, no?

http://www.cnn.com/2020/05/28/investing/premarket-stocks-trading/index.html

I'm not on Twitter, so I can't check beyond his first few posts--did they at least leave up those disclaimers from yesterday, or are those already gone?

i don't really understand what he could do to twitter with an EO. if he holds the platforms responsible for what others publish on them -- as if they were "publications" -- then that would be the end of social media. the platforms would need to vet everything that is published on them, not just things that have been flagged.

Twitter should just ban him for 24 hours then reset his followers to 0.

It'll end up meaningless, this is just him flailing in his temper tantrum because, for the first time, he's actually seeing tangible pushback on the shit he spews.

Temper, and whipping up a story that's not the pandemic or George Floyd.

I think the latter is just a happy bonus for the GOP, I genuinely don't think Trump himself is thinking even that deeply beyond being absolutely furious that he's told he can't say whatever he wants.

Had a similar thought after I posted...Ultimately, I don't know if anything will matter in the election--the pandemic, deaths, the economy, race, feuds--except how many of you (Americans who want Trump out) vote.

Here's an even better Zuck headline:

“Social media should not fact check posts” says child molester Mark Zuckerberg

good lord this man is a piece of shit

"When the looting starts, the shooting starts" is originally a phrase of Miami police chief Walter Headley.

Headley refused to return from vacation when violent protests broke out at the RNC in 1968. "They know what to do...Wen the looting starts, the shooting starts." https://t.co/NpehNOCLNx

Gop Killer

I don't know how he managed to get to the FINALLEVEL still with the incredulity that the US is actively a murderous police state if you are black and the pres is a bit of a racist scoundrel.

It's Ice T, I'm guessing he is already aware?

marketing genius declares “maga night,” inspires the most chaotic night of domestic unrest in years

I get emails from both the Biden and Trump campaigns (under a pseudonym, of course). I got SIX fundraising emails overnight from the Trump team. They do not appear to be operating from a position of confidence.

maga night = cities on fire is just good branding lol

make america glow again

I got SIX fundraising emails overnight from the Trump team.

Not that this should come as a surprise, but I can't think of a clearer indication of what an opportunity they view all this as.

lol the secret service rushed trump to the bunker under the white house on friday night

what's his codename right now, birdsnest or whatever

"taint"

They're saying on the news Trump was taken into a bunker because he had so much nervous diarrhea he clogged the entire White House plumbing and all the turds were flooding everywhere like the blood elevator in The Shining and then he clogged the bunker toilet too.

Seems Legit.

laying low and tweeting through it. that's leadership

the phrase "wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight" comes to mind

Zuck called Trump to ask him to change his post:
