A round up of Trumpian events 🖕🍊🤡

I can’t like. JFC, this is goddamn terrifying. What’s even worse are the number of tacit supporters these guys still have: the ones who smile, wave and do business with them, even if they don’t admit to being Nazis.

This is bad. If you don’t think this is that bad, then you have no clue how much of a role media plays in shaping reality:

It’s for when Russia sends their missiles. If that happens, we’re close enough to a defense construction plant and the headquarters of CompuServe that we’ll be on the first strike list, so you and your families will be wiped out instantly.

My Dad had flown for the Navy in a part of the early days of the SAC, with a tactical nuke slung under his single engine, propeller driven airplane. He made sure I grew up fairly terrified of nuclear apocalypse and the Russki threat.

The only thing I miss about the Bush years was having a president that believed in governing and didn’t bring about daily existential dead every day they were in office. That’s a pretty low bar.

There’s basically nothing else I miss about the Bush years. He was a fucking awful president that did lasting and real damage to the country and world as a whole. The fact that people on the left are waxing nostalgia for the years he was in office is demonstrating some extreme ignorance.

I knew when 45 decided early on to delegate all military responsibility to his generals after the Yemen shit show that this would be an easy way to pass the buck.

Trump says he did not 'specifically' order Niger mission

So much for “the buck stops here”.

From a post I made on another site in July:

Trump has delegated much more operational authority to the field commanders than was previously the case. He’s doing it to provide himself with scapegoats when things go wrong, but for the moment the officer corps are delighted. They’re off the leash.

MSNBC slowly accepting reality?

Chris Hayes (chrislhayes)

Part of it, anyway. He’s probably still thinking of the midterms.

Speaking as a kid from the Reagan “Just Say No” era: just what is he smoking?

[Melz2]

Also from that same era.

‘Just say no’ doesn’t work; not for drugs, not for sex, and clearly not for electing incompetent, corrupt egomaniacs to the highest office in the land.

Despite his rep as a teetotaller, I ardently hope he’s on some kind of mind altering substance; it would make so sense…

Even if he’s sober now, we might be seeing what decades of using vast amounts of cocaine do to your brain.

[Melz2]

Good point.

[Mindysan33]

Isn’t the just say no campaign WHY people took drugs in the 80s and 90s?
