A round up of Trumpian events đŸ–•đŸŠđŸ€Ą

During Trump’s joint appearance with Shinzo Abe at Mar-a-Lao, the president announced a big weapons deal with Japan. Trump apologized for the slow shipping of past purchases and pledged to cut through the red tape in order to get the weapons there in time for Abe to rattle them at Kim Jong-Un. If Trump lets the Pentagon use Amazon Prime to ship the killing machines, he might go a long way toward mending relations with the Bezos Post.

Yes, this is a genuine official comment from the Kremlin: Putin did not tell Trump Russia has the most beautiful hookers in the world, says Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. “President Putin could not say such things and did not say it to President Trump," Peskov said.

LOL, snort laughed.

City officials, though, argued that they had no choice.

Why can’t it be like


  1. Does your march have anything to do with or enhance the community in any form?
  2. Did an important historical event take place here that is meaningful to your group?
  3. Do the majority of your group live in the community, if any at all?
  4. Was Adolf fucking Hitler born here?

No?

WTF? Is he packing heat now?

Probably just a spare Big Macℱ. You can see the faint outline of a McDonald’s bag in the lower pockets

Good sense, or did they run out of places to store the stuff they already have?

30 neo-nazis wanted to have a march, so there was violence in the streets between police and other protestors, but the neo-nazis themselves didn’t engage.

That’s not free speech, it’s naziism.

It’s certainly messed up.

Trump anti-Semitic? Who woulda thunk

As someone pointed out, “not” is almost the worse option. It means he surrounds himself with people who use slurs like that in casual conversation and no one calls them out on it.

It’s not Trump, it’s the whole damn crew.

It’s been one year since Donald Trump’s inauguration. His official swearing-in compelled many Americans reflect on what America actually is now, politically, socially and culturally. Contributor David Zane Mairowitz is originally from America, and has been living in Europe for over fifty years. He returned to the U.S. in the spring of 2017 to travel through six southern states, where he recorded his encounters with everyday people at restaurants, churches – and gun shows. His aim: to gain insight into an America he’s now struggling to comprehend.

A good work-out for those face-palm lifts and desk crunches.

I for one am getting a bit weary of the “we sent a dyed-in-the-wool liberal to this deep-south truckstop / Appalachian coal-mining town / backwoods enclave and they were shocked at the level of Trump support!” think piece.

It’d be as if every week of Obama’s presidency, Fox sent a reporter to Chicago or NYC or San Francisco to write a breathless, horrified piece describing the liberals there as if they’d encountered bizarre aliens.

Yeah, I suspect that if they did encounter any normal sounding people, it wouldn’t make the final product.

It would also be nice if they’d drop the thoroughly-discredited framing of “poor people elected Trump”. But they won’t, because then they’d have to confront their own responsibility for the current situation.

On the surface, burning wood is carbon neutral, so long as you don’t burn down all the forests to re-value the leaf.

Obviously there’s a Koch, er, catch in there somewhere.
