The 2019 Trump Presidency Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Of course it is. That's the amazing and sad thing about trump. He's possibly the first atheist president. Now I don't really consider myself an atheist, but I feel bad for them that this is their first representative. A man who might as well consider himself God


One of the ironys of all trumps talk of loyalty, is it's his lack of loyalty that could seriously hurt him. His tendency to throw everyone around him under the bus as soon as it's even slightly politically convenient (or as soon as they show less than total devotion to him) will likely see few wishing to defend him when things get tough.

But trumps ideas of loyalty are like his idea of patriotism. It's patriotic to worship him alone, and loyalty is being loyal only to him.

Just like it says in Two Corinthians... :)
 
^ This is a good think piece on Trump insulting career professionals and the repercussions of the now.
if you spend enough time saying someone is your enemy, that person might begin to feel the same way about you.

The Experts Strike Back

Donald Trump has spent his presidency belittling and attacking career foreign-policy professionals. Now that he’s asking for their loyalty, they don’t seem to feel any.

Also, a second of the three “amigos”, Volker, Sondland, and Energy Secretary Perry is trying to exculpate himself, not Trump. The rats are leaving the ship.

Sondland to testify that Trump directed Giuliani to push Ukraine scheme

"My understanding was that the president directed Mr. Giuliani’s participation, that Mr. Giuliani was expressing the concerns of the president," he'll say, according to prepared testimony obtained by NBC News.

No living entertainer wants Trump to play their music except Kid Rock. Even Nickelback filed a copyright infringement for his tweet.

Here's who is in that photo from the Nickelback meme Trump tweeted to smear Joe Biden, but Twitter took down after a copyright complaint

Here's some context on the Nickelback meme President Donald Trump tweeted showing Joe Biden and his son alongside a "Ukraine gas executive."

If a Native American can scalp Trump alive, I WILL PAY YOUR LEGAL FEES ;)

DO NOT FORGET THIS IS WHAT YOUR PRESIDENT SAID

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

p.s. if women were smarter than men NONE OF THEM WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR YOU, YOU RAPIST FREAK. And you're 150 years behind the rest of us, motherfucker. There are smart men and smart women, in equal numbers. So STFU.

He has dementia, is mentally trapped in 2016. Hillary's art project broke his brain. He has no concept of the outside/modern world anymore. Poor guy.

I think I might see the actual dementia diagnosis now, in a legitimate way and not slander, and I actually feel pity for him. I watched a love done go through Alzheimer's and it devastated me in a lot of ways. I feel really bad for Trump if his brain is going through this. :(

"The Democrats want to raise your taxes"

YOU WON'T TAX THE CORPORATIONS YOU PIECE OF SHIT SO OF COURSE WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE COST

This is ALL TRUMP'S FAULT. There are OTHER OPTIONS. Personal income tax is ILLEGAL and Trump is a traitor to this nation.

Would a future of warfare that had an economic face and not a bloody/human-toll based cost be preferable for pacifists/anti-war machine advocates? I've often thought of it as potentially worse for commodity fixing/pricing, trade practices etc. I see internationalism as a large failure to date but I might have thought some of the dems (not necessarily ANYONE here, but someone somewhere) would applaud Trump for trying economic pressures over sending Americans off to get PTSD or die.
