It gets harder every day to not explicitly call for extralegal solutions to our ongoing national crisis.

“Thank you to Wayne Allyn Root for the very nice words. “President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world...and the Jewish people in Israel love him....

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 21, 2019


....like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God...But American Jews don’t know him or like him. They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore. It makes no sense! But that’s OK, if he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s good for.....

.....all Jews, Blacks, Gays, everyone. And importantly, he’s good for everyone in America who wants a job.” Wow! @newsmax @foxandfriends @OANN

I heard nothing but negative comments about Trump in the midst of a hundred or so American Jews this weekend, so this lunatic conservative commentator may in fact be right about something!

My proposal to the politically correct Automobile Companies would lower the average price of a car to consumers by more than $3000, while at the same time making the cars substantially safer. Engines would run smoother. Very little impact on the environment! Foolish executives!

It's like he just walks around all day gumming a mouthful of magnetic poetry and everyone gathers around whatever random words happen to be suspended in the pendulous drool string hanging from his chin in a particular moment and says, hmm yes, very intersting, this is definitely the coherent utterance of a sentient creature, let us regard it as such.

"Distractions" or not, every time we've hit maximum "Veep" (or "Onion") we go even further. It boggles the mind. It's like a humanoid Magic Eye run amuck.

WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficit is growing faster than expected, even as President Trump muses about more tax cuts and other ideas that would add to government debt.

The deficit will reach $960 billion for the 2019 fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, and $1 trillion for the 2020 fiscal year, the Congressional Budget Office said in updated forecasts released on Wednesday. Previously, it had projected an $896 billion deficit for 2019 and $892 billion for 2020. Those numbers would be even higher, if not for lower-than-expected interest rates, which are reducing the cost of servicing the national debt.

*checks watch*

looks like it's almost time for republicans to suddenly get extremely concerned about the deficit. i think it will be about...November 4, 2020, depending on the results of the election.

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 21 August 2019 17:20 (four years ago) link

the only way to address the deficit is to cut social security and medicare, of course. it's literally the only way to address a gap between tax revenue and spending.

who American Jews are being disloyal to by voting for Democrats, he said they’re being “disloyal to Israel.”

Beyond parody -- Trump says his solution to the epidemic of veteran suicides is some new "stimulant" produced by Johnson & Johnson that he's instructed the government to buy in large quantities

trump just said the prime minister of denmark was "nasty", etc etc. god he is pathetic. last night he was trying to spin it (his own fuckup, he had made minutes before, by ragequitting the denmark trip via twitter) like the trip was just delayed for other reasons and it had nothing to do with greenland. now 12 hours later it's pretty clear that's exactly what it was about. god what a fucking dumb loser

There is literally nothing Donald Trump could say, aside from an expression of genuine empathy and care for other human beings, that would surprise me at this point. Nothing.

The president's retweetees form quite a pantheon: Katie Hopkins, Wayne Allyn Root, various Q-ers. It may be too much to ask for William F. Buckley Jr., Milton Friedman, and Irving Kristol. But we can do better, can't we?
