Wow.
He decides to talk about Lavar Ball...again. Then backtracks on the elephant ordeal. Oh and it's been awhile since we've discussed a key proponent in his platform...the wall. We hit a nice trifecta this evening with his tweets. |
And he attacked Flake again despite needing his vote for tax reform. And then he dredged up the NFL kneeling issue again. Don't even his supporters get tired of this?
|
Trump v. Ball might never end. It keeps Ball in the spotlight and allows Trump to attack "those people."

Trump (and his propoganda arm at Fox News) are fairly predictable anything negative about people outside of his base is promoted and fanned as much as possible. Thus in recent days I've seen - "Border Patrolman dies", "Player not respecting Trump single handedly rescuing him from China", "NFL player not respecting anthem", "Non-Republican is sex scandal" and such with dripping diatribe ... while wholly ignoring anything involving the republican party, their core base or Trump himself ... |
I have long suspected this to be true of many who claim to be followers of Christ. At least this guy has the guts to admit it.

They've already said they are going after entitlements next. The justification for that will be massive, unsustainable debt.

They'll never get the votes. It'll just be their excuse for why there is debt. "The debt wasn't from our rich guy tax cuts, it was from welfare queens!". |

This dumb fucks twitter account has long since replaced the morning comic strips for me. As I read through the comments on much of his stuff, it continues to amaze how many women still support this guy. |
It just goes to show that no matter how stupid you think something you said was, or how many people might realize you a fool for saying it, there will still be lot of people who completely agree and ignore the fact that you're an idiot.

His handlers must love when something like this comes up. It's probably like when your dog is bothering everyone at Thanksgiving but then finds a new toy to play with for a little bit and occupy him.

Tweets about Lavar Ball and the NFL this morning.
Last night, Navy aircraft went down and 11 are missing. Yesterday, more of Army Sgt Johnson's remains were found in Niger. You may remember Sgt Johnson from the president's feud with his family after the "phone call." I'm guessing Gen Kelly won't come to the podium for this one. But, yes, feuding with Lavar Ball and the NFL is much more important to focus your attention on. :banghead: |

What are the odds that Trump pardons a turkey this year and then afterwards tweets that it wasn't thankful enough?

He can spend all his days there at this point. Probably better off for all of us if he’s just golfing.

Imagine if Obama's press secretary had tried to pass off a Martha Stewart pie as her own on Thanksgiving. That doesn't even register here--much less a first lady who cribber her only notable speaking appearance from the prior first lady.

Here's a non paywall to the article https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/di...I7T?li=BBnb7Kz I do have to wonder how many diplomats we actually need. |
Things like that plus corbes' link really get you wondering if there's a whole crew of Soviet sleepers. I mean, it's really far-fetched, but I'm not sure you could actively sabotage government function any better.
(I know Jon would say that's a feature, not a bug, but when things are headed probably right where your main opposition for the past 75 years wants them, it doesn't look great.) |

don't forget that fake Time cover in Trump Tower too (and the fact that Time said that's not how their selection works)

It's too bad that there aren't any other elected officials with powers that could be used to compel the President to execute the law.

I saw that, and heard chatter (not sure if its true) that they have a non-inteference clause with Time's editorial management. So we will have to wait and see I guess to see how much they might change. |
This. Fool. Right. Here.

Wonder how you say "jackass" in Navajo?

Bu...WHa...I don't even kno...
WHAT THE FAWK YOU SMOKIN DUDE? |
And they're standing in front of a picture of Andrew Jackson.
|
Worst still, the official White House position is that it's completely incorrect to say that what he said was a racial slur.
|
Quote:
Well I'm sure Indians fought quite bravely against him (except for Pocahontas, she didn't fight against him at all!) |
Quote:
Trump's people compare him to Andrew Jackson so Andrew Jackson only did good things. |
Quote:
I dont think its a racial slur at all, unless I'm just totally missing something, I just think its awkward, stupid, clumsy, ridiculous and irrelevant. |
It's not a slur on its own. It's a slur because of the way it was used.
|
And because of the way he's used it for the last 18 months. It truly is deplorable.
|
Quote:
So he would have been alright to call Shinzo Abe, "Jackie Chan" on his last trip? Yeah, it's awkward, stupid, clumsy, ridiculous, and irrelevant, but itsn't it also beyond that? |
Saying Pocahontas obviously isn't racially offensive. Saying it in a derogatory manner that labels an entire race is absolutely offensive and racist. I'm sure no one would have a problem with me calling every black person I know Kunta Kinte.
Doing this at a ceremony meant to honor Navajo code talkers shows his ignorance. Having the ceremony in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson turned it into a trainwreck. |
I don't think it's a racial slur. It seems a bit insulting to me to use a revered figure like that.
Just seems childish and immature more than anything. |
Quote:
Assuming they are old enough to remember Roots (vs the remake who no one watched), I actually think many would be offended. Just IMO though. |

Yes. The opposite interpretation makes no sense given the preceding sentence. |
Well, the way Trump is using "Pocahontas" as I understand it, is not to slur Native Americans, but to slur the idea that Warren claimed she is Native American when she may not be. So I suppose it's kind of like calling someone a wigger? Insensitive and crude, but I'm not sure I'd classify it as racist. More like racist-adjacent. If he really thought she was Native American and called her that, I think that would be a racial slur.
|
Look there are plenty of fine people on both sides of the is this racist debate.
|
Think of it this way, would we tolerate anyone under similar circumstances calling a person Shylock?
|
The NFL still has a fucking team called the Redskins, so I think we can all agree that racism against Native Americans barely moves the needle for anyone, no matter how inappropriate this was.
If anything, I'm more bothered by Trump not being able to keep his stupid ego bullshit to himself for 5 minutes while honoring some of the most heroic people this country has ever produced, no matter what the dig was. That it was racially tinged is just icing on the stupid cake. |
Quote:
The difference there is you have a made up term while Trump is using a native American hero to demean someone and has been asked by multiple Native American groups to stop doing so. |

So that was a true ICBM it now appears that launched with a 8000-9000 mile range well within range of Washington DC or New York.

Is anyone truly surprised that North Korea ramped up their missile program in the light of Trump threatening them? ... it was a sensible thing to do from the perspective of a country which is trying to prevent itself being attacked, it's given them the ability to retaliate directly against US aggression ... 'thanks Mr. Trump'. PS - In other news Trump retweeted three posts by a member of the British BNP (basically our KKK political arm) this morning ... ffs ... |

It'll be time to cut Medicare and Social Security to balance the budget. Feature, not bug. |
Trump spent the morning retweeting Fascists from the UK. WEEEEE!

Quote:
They'll never cut them enough to come close to balance. In 2016 SS/Medicare/Medicaid expenses were @2 trillion. They aren't politically stupid enough to cut those programs by 40 or 50 percent. |

I don't know. He's been this way for some time now. And when you look back on how he acted in the 80's and 90's it's pretty cringe-worthy. I'm thinking it's just a bit of stupid and liar. |

I tend to agree. It's not all that surprising he's become a hero for the socially awkward and misogynistic millennials. |

Yes - he's pretty much always been like this. I really don't know why anyone would be surprised. |

I bet this tax bill lays the groundwork for repealing the ACA. With the mandate already gone the CBO score on a repeal bill will look much better in comparison to the previous bills. All the moderates will say, “Mission Accomplished!” and presto, ACA repeal.
