A guy shot up a pizza joint because he thought they were involved in Podesta's underage prostitution ring of which there was no proof.

Many sides.

Also, Trump retweeted a photoshop of him replacing or "eclipsing" a picture of Obama. He literally had to spend time searching for things on Twitter to find that. This is the first thing the president does when he wakes up. Not his job... searching for memes on Twitter.

yeah, but when you think of yourself first thing in the morning that is completely normal. A narcissist always thinks of themselves first. This is normal to Trump and he should be praised for being so smart. Seriously, this guy feels like he needs praised when he takes a healthy shit. "Good job Don you pooped! Now take this Ensure and you can do it again!"

Ben E Lou 08-24-2017 08:13 AM

Also this morning, he screwed up their/there in a Tweet, so he deleted it.

Only to replace it with a screw-up of to/too. :D :D :D

Any dumb shit happen in the last few days? I've been too busy pulling myself up by my own bootstraps and cbf to check the news.

PilotMan 08-25-2017 06:36 AM

I'm shocked that Trump hasn't tweeted out something along the lines of "if we had the wall, we could've kept the hurricane out." That seems right up his alley.

Thomkal 08-25-2017 06:48 AM

LoL Pilot-me too. Still insisting Mexico is going to pay for it even though he's asking for billions from Congress/taxpayers to build it.

PilotMan 08-25-2017 07:04 AM

Trump is going to TM the phrase "the likes of which have never been seen before," before he's out of office. It's his go to phrase whenever he's trying to bloviate.

I cringe now when I hear other people using it. It's like, c'mon can't you think of something else to say there?

Easy Mac 08-25-2017 07:07 AM

Normally, people who accomplish a lot don't spend all their time telling others how much they've accomplished.

panerd 08-25-2017 08:23 AM

I'm not a Trump fan but the belittling of how little Trump has achieved in his career by angry people always amuses me a little...

Real Estate Mogul
Billionaire, even if wealth is questioned at least multi-millionaire.
New York Times best selling author
Major tv star/celebrity.
President of the United States.

I'd say he has a somewhat expansive resume.

bronconick 08-25-2017 08:29 AM

A man born on 3rd base who scored on a balk. What a successful man.

Arpaio pardoned

Trump pardons ex-sheriff convicted of defying judge's order

Not that this should surprise anyone who's been paying attention.

Guy who inherited hundreds of millions is worth hundreds of millions.

He's a great marketer. Can't deny that. Built a brand that targeted a particular demographic and licensed it out. So did the Kardashians. Not sure I'd want her as President either.

Another example of loyalty rewarded no matter the cost. It plays well to those that value loyalty over justice, like Trump does. I won't be surprised if he does it again.

Financially, I think that's a good place to point. For everything else but somehow winning the freaking presidency I would just say that there are lots of best selling authors, TV stars and famous people who are worthy of nothing but shame and denigration.

The name Donald Trump has never meant more to me than bluster and worth nothing more than an eye roll, going back decades, long before his political insanity.

kingfc22 08-25-2017 09:09 PM

The daily Trump trifecta of bigotry, racism and vacation strikes again.

JPhillips 08-25-2017 09:21 PM

I guess the positive view is that this pardon will seem tame after he pardons himself and everybody else connected to the Russia scandal.

And his supporters are quite pleased. I haven't seen anything get this much positive response in several weeks honestly.

Arpaio is a long-standing hero, as long as he didn't ally himself with the Demonrats then just about anything is a pardonable offense for a whole lot of us.

This is a horrifying list of Arpaio stories from a local weekly. It doesn't even include the web accessible cam set up in the women's restroom and the refusal to investigate sex abuse crimes perpetrated on children of illegal immigrants.

Arpaio's a Trump mini-me and his fuckery cost the residents of Maricopa county millions over the years. Of course Trump, with the attention span of a 6 year old doesn't get past his "Mexicans are bad" rhetoric and forgives all.

With this pardon comes an admission of guilt though, so Arpaio will probably have a few people going after him civilly.

bronconick 08-26-2017 10:26 AM

Arpaio is a test run to pardoning Flynn, Manafort, and Kushner if Mueller has them on something.

Former Trump Ethics Director Calls Arpaio Pardon 'A Harbinger Of Worse to Come' | HuffPost

Quote:

President Donald Trump’s former ethics chief, who resigned last month because of disagreements with the White House over ethics policies, blasted the president’s decision on Friday to pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

“Vile!!” began Walter Shaub, the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, on a Twitter thread. “What POTUS says ‘exemplifies selfless public service’ is: dehumanizing inmates, racial profiling, and gleefully defying a court order.”

Shaub tweeted that the pardon was a “harbinger of worse to come.”

What about using the election?

JPhillips 08-26-2017 07:45 PM

Yeah, they did put Trump in office.

JPhillips 08-26-2017 08:10 PM

dola

Trump asking Sessions to drop the case against Arpaio is a bigger deal than the pardon. There was a time when the president asking the AG to drop a case against a political ally would have been a huge story.

SackAttack 08-27-2017 01:36 AM

If not for the timing of that story dropping, it probably would be.

Mixed in with all the rest and oh by the way hurricane and, well, it's gonna get little play.

He didn't win unanimously last I checked.

Thomkal 08-27-2017 08:30 AM

Even with the events in Texas he can't stop bragging:

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 1h1 hour ago




Replying to @realDonaldTrump
Many people are now saying that this is the worst storm/hurricane they have ever seen. Good news is that we have great talent on the ground.


Or talk about his next campaign stop:


I will also be going to a wonderful state, Missouri, that I won by a lot in '16. Dem C.M. is opposed to big tax cuts. Republican will win S!

JPhillips 08-27-2017 08:32 AM

So we can't say Dems supported Obama either?

Polling shows strong majorities of GOP respondents support Trump, Arpaio and the pardon. Until that's no longer true, it's fair to say that's what the GOP has become.

Easy Mac 08-27-2017 10:16 AM

He's tweeting about the wall because I guess Mexico sent a hurricane to attack America?

Thomkal 08-27-2017 10:48 AM

I'm waiting for the "Some are saying this is the best federal response to a natural disaster they have ever seen!" tweet

cuervo72 08-27-2017 11:06 AM

That's the thing that gets me about the wall. So many billions for what benefit? Couldn't that money be used better, like say to safeguard against disasters? Or to provide some relief fund? The impact of such an event has to be more than anything a wall will prevent.
