Trump claims that Putin and Kim Jong-un are more mentally fit than Biden. Still fanboying for dictators.

“Players take knee, raise fist, stay in locker room, during National Anthem”.
@FoxNews No thanks, tell them to “protest” some other time!

Geez, Captain Swoop, sometimes I don't know whether to hug you or slap you for trawling such depths.

He seems excited about it.

There are lots more retweets by him. I chose the more interesting ones.

Trump: Just when I think he can't get any more disgusting, he goes and proves me wrong.

According to Trump, the head of “a forest nation” in Europe told Trump that his country has “far more explosive trees than in California” but because they “manage” their forests, they don’t have fires.

Science came to me and asked “how do you know so much about climatology, about weather, and about both the atmosphere and the air around the Earth?”

And then the forestologists came to me and said, “we’re stumped. If we ask nicely, will you tell us which brooms are the best for cleaning forests?”

The International Business Times was kind enough to offer “It is not clear if the president was speaking figuratively or meant trees explode in a literal sense.


And some say looking at the original quote is not helpful

Fixed

Trump and his acolytes seem to have a problem with the players making their protests where they can be seen, which is kind of the point of a protest- "they don't have to make a political statement at the game!" Of course, standing for the anthem with hand over heart is also a political statement, which, oddly, the trumpkins have no problem with. So it would seem that Mr "no cancel culture" Trump is all for cancelling when it's something he doesn't want to see or hear. Maybe a neutral solution? No national anthem? Nah, too easy- Trumpers don't want to just forbid one expression, they want to force their own; and if that isn't cancel culture, I don't know what is.

Well, Bolton was just on Blitzer agreeing with LTC Vindman that Trump is Putin's "Useful Idiot". Bolton even laughed out loud when Blitzer gave him the quote. I'm pretty sure Twitter is fixing to explode.

Lots of people don't know that!

Everything was fine for decades in the forest nation, but then the Fire nation attacked.

So I've been texting with my two brothers, one lives in Oregon the other Southern California. They report no exploding trees.

I thought that California had large numbers of Eucalyptus trees in the same way as Australia, and Eucalyptus trees (oil) burn well. I assumed that California is simply having the same problem as Australia did eight months ago regardless of different forest management techniques.:)

Hm. Must be Democrats.

What, the brothers, or the trees.

As always with anything Trump, nothing is what it he says it is.

Pffft. It exists in Trump's addled brain and that's all that counts.

So, Lou, how does that comparison grab you?

Apparently the kobby for Big Hysterectomy has Trump's ear.

It feels like it might be worth taking a step back and reviewing some Early Warning Signs of Fascism. This deals with the Republican party and the way they're running things, of course.

1. Powerful and continuing nationalism - Check
2. Disdain for human rights - This would be yet another in innumerable checks
3. Identification of enemies as a unifying cause - Check
4. Supremacy of the military - I'm going to say that this is not actually a check. There's a lot of lip service, though.
5. Rampant sexism - Check
6. Controlled mass media - This one's a bit tougher to call in general. Mass media is overwhelmingly owned by and therefore controlled by only a very, very few people. It's not as bad as outright state control, but it's a dangerous situation on that front. This, though, is somewhat balanced by less direct reliance on the official mass media for information compared to social media, which has notably different pros and cons, albeit ones that currently seem to make it easier to end up in an ideological bubble. Further, the right-wing "news" sources have actively worked to create such ideological bubbles and largely act as if they were controlled media. So, it's pretty much a conditional yes, for some groups, and a generally dangerous situation but not the case at the moment otherwise.
7. Obsession with national security - Mostly not a check and only lip service to foreign threats. As for the national security threat that is antifa, though.:rolleyes:
8. Religion and government intertwined - Check. Not as blatantly and directly as the people pushing it may prefer, yet, but... things like Muslim bans and multiple Trump officials using government resources to seriously push their faith are plenty good enough to qualify for this.
9. Corporate power protected - Big check
10. Labor power suppressed - Big check
11. Disdain for intellectuals & the arts - check
12. Obsession with crime & punishment - Here's another yes and no one, much as the overriding concern there is more - "Is the person aligned with me?" If so, support and forgiveness for any crimes. If not, they should be condemned and punished harshly - even if it may mean breaking the law, potentially.
13. Rampant cronyism & corruption - Big check
14. Fraudulent elections - For quite a while now, there have been a number of forces in the Republican Party that have been working hard to rig elections in their favor by nigh every route they think they can get away with, with varying levels of success. So yes from the start. As I noted not long ago, though, Trump advisor Roger Stone has now publicly advised Trump to do a bunch of things to take that rigging much further, including outright seizure of large numbers of legitimately cast Democratic ballots.

On the Democrat's side... 7 and 12 are arguably the case, with the note that any excess there is likely due to backlash against how brazenly Trump and his administration have been undermining national security, causing significant harm intentionally for the benefit of a very few, and flouting the laws.

In the complaint, it involved one doctor in particular, albeit with support by the people around him, if I read it correctly. I wouldn't assume that Trump's involved directly, though Trump certainly has worked to emphasize (sadly not create) a general culture and trend in ICE that makes it entirely unsurprising, though no less disgusting.

Of note, though, this kind of thing has been documented as having been done to Native American and black women, too, in the past.

Hysterectomies in concentration camps are historically to facilitate rape. (See China, Germany, Japan, and well pretty much any place that ever had a concentration camp.) I'm not sure why we would assume it is for a different reason here.

Thanks, I'm going to use this in the fascism thread.

*shrug* It's predictable, as you say. I've pointed out before that nobody should be shocked if we end up finding a m ass grave or three at these privately-run concentration camps - combining overt white supremacism and a clear profit motive in underreporting deaths among inmates is far more than enough tolead a company to simply bury those who die of injury, disease, etc., and continuing to report them as alive.

In Joe Biden's America, exploding trees will be bringing violence to the suburbs
and bringing down property values!

Trump on global warming: “It’ll start getting cooler. You just watch,” Trump said (CNBC, Sep. 14, 2020)
After all, it worked so well with the virus, which disappeared, like magic, in April ...

Yeah. It's called winter, you moron.

Is the republican party unable to avoid using Russian imagery in its campaigns?

Guardian article on MAGA ‘Russian jets and small arms’ poster

Most people don't know that ...
(as Trump would say) :D

since this has happened repeatedly, I find it very likely that someone in Russia is sending the Campaign ad material.

Proofreading and fact-checking are for losers.

It seems that the AK47 is now the preferred weapon of your friend...
