šŸ–• šŸŠ šŸ¤” A Continuing Round-Up of Trumpian Events šŸ–• šŸŠ šŸ¤”

ā€œThis isnā€™t about the specific actions of Russia or China or any other country. This is about Donald Trumpā€™s mindset. This is about the sitting presidentā€™s explicit statements regarding the use, and abuse, of his position for political purposes. The point of the impeachment power, well-established in the deliberations of the summer of 1787, is to prevent this abuse.ā€

Oh for fuck sake. I remember hearing a year or so about this being in the works and this is the best they can come up with:

Which is basically a mix of:

The JFK design that is currently in use is iconic, thoughtful, and unique. The new design is just pedestrian and boring.

If a press secretary that doesnā€™t give any press briefings leaves, does anybody really notice?

Whatā€™s kinda baffling to me, here, is after all of the Mueller-probe ā€œNO COLLUSION!ā€ yelling, the President just went on TV and cheerfully invited any foreign country to collude with him, assuring them he wouldnā€™t tell the FBI and would keep the collusion to influence an election secret. And Mitch is like, yeah, thatā€™s cool, weā€™re good with that. Yes??

This shit in particular:

Trump insisted during a meandering 50-minute interview that ā€œof courseā€ he would alert the FBI in such a case, but only after reviewing it first, ā€œbecause if you donā€™t look at it, you wonā€™t know itā€™s bad.ā€

It must be a wonderful thing to be so fucking oblivious.

In spite of Trumpā€™s tariffs, the budget deficit has swelled to $739 billion in Mayā€“an increase of 38.8 percent over a year ago. Of course, this was always the plan: cut taxes for corporations and the super-rich, pump up defense spending, explode the deficit and use the deficit as a pretext to eviscerate entitlements.

Except pretty much everybody liked Jackie (and FFS, she wasnā€™t ā€œJackie Oā€ when she was First Lady - but since Trump has no grasp of history this stupidity isnā€™t surprising).

(And look, Iā€™m not saying that itā€™s an imperative for a White House spouse to do anything, but if they are truly interested in activism thereā€™s no better platform for it; youā€™re given a taxpayer-funded staff and pretty much the biggest megaphone possible. If Melania is as disinterested in activism as it seems, she should just fucking own it.)

ETA I just realized that the second paragraph is kind of weird and out of context - I had a rant about how Meliana hasnā€™t done anything as other than spearhead a bullshit and ironic anti-bullying campaign but then I deleted it, hence the second part.

Interesting that he refers to Melania as ā€œit.ā€ I usually reserve ā€œitā€ for goods and services Iā€™ve purchased, butā€¦ erm ā€¦ never mind. I guess he does too.

One day trump will be dead and meliana will surely outlive him by many many years. maybe she will get remarried to someone whose name starts with an O. Maybe then she can truly be like Jackie O. Ha.
