Points taken, though one may argue that some lack of cognitive concentration must have been evidenced before, and thus by, the head/sphincter intercourse.

President Trump is also really upset at the lying liberal media for not reporting about the great honor he once received when his mother told him he was a very handsome boy.

President Trump is one of God’s finest warriors.

Just one week after testing positive for the China COVID virus, he is feeling stronger than ever.

CNN was already planning his funeral, but like always, President Trump has emerged victorious.

It’s Tuesday, October 13th 2020, and Barack Obama was the most corrupt President in US history.

Okay, let's take a step back here are really appreciate the absurdity of this re-tweet.

First off, it's a classic Conspiracy Theory echo chamber. Google the key phrases, and the only places you can find anything about it is on CT sites, that all reference back to each other. Google the name of the "whistle blower", and all you find is the same sorts of links.

So, we have the president of the United States re-tweeting classic CT bull ****. Not too surprising, he's done it before.

But consider this - if the CIA had information about this, which is implied by citing a "CIA Whistle Blower" as your source - why can't the freaking president of the United States provide a better link to the evidence than all the random CT echo sites?

Trump has the authority to find out the truth of what the CIA knows about this, and to declassify it in its entirety if he so chooses.

And yet, he chooses to re-tweet the typical CT bull ****.

As bad as it was having Colin Powell lie to the UN to justify the war in Iraq, imagine how much worse it would have been if Bush had just linked to a Truther site to justify the war.

That's literally the world we're living in now.

Classic President Trump - cutting through the hidebound Washington bureaucracy and finding a way to deliver first rate intelligence at no cost to the American taxpayer.

That's the kind of blue-sky thinking and business genius that the American electorate wanted when they gave him the biggest election victory (if illegal votes are discounted) and largest inauguration crowd in history.

The US can happily lay off everyone in Langley and instead rely on Qanon to meet the US' intelligence needs.

Not to mention making Obama look like a total bad ass. He takes out Osama and then Seal Team Six. That's just OTT gangster.

You can't sue trump for slander, the courts have ruled that no reasonable person takes anything he says seriously.

Did I misread or did Trump tweet implying that he was nommed for multiple Nobel awards (not noms but awards)?
How bombastic can one person be?

He's still high on meds, you numpty. [emoji53]

Or, how ignorant. Unless the alleged nominations were for different prices.

Hans

Oh, I'm sure he paid the same for all of them.

He never quite specified, only speaking of multiple nominations. The inference being, based on the fact that he only referenced his middle east window dressing, that all were for the peace prize. Not that I wouldn't put it past Trump try to lay claim to any of the other, like economics in particular. Heck, given what he now thinks he knows about the corona virus, the medicine or chemistry might be in his sights for next year.


Naturally, I don't recall him even mentioning who the committee announced the peace prize award would go to 4 days ago.

https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/pe...press-release/

While apparently still bemoaning the lack of press coverage of his allegedly illegible nomination(s) just yesterday.

There it is again...
I'm not sure if you meant "illegal", "ineligible", or "illegitimate", but "illegible" doesn't quite make sense. Care to clarify?

This ^. It's hilarious and pitiful at the same time that Trump actually expected the news to report his nomination.

Speaking of federal aid, Lindsey Graham was whining yesterday that the ACA was a disaster because SC didn't get enough money out of it. I don't recall the number he gave.

Is that "aid" or dollars? For example, a military installation or NASA facility can bring in a lot of money but I wouldn't call itm "aid".

That's a very good point. I think it was aid; the article I got it from had both ways of looking at the data. I'll see if I can find it again.

ETA: I think it's funding. But there is high correlation between funding and "aid".

The Atlantic article:

Which refers back to the WalletHum article; the methodology is outlined here.

However, their methodology is hard to understand. This article shows (probably more intuitively) that California gets the most total federal dollars.

Just a play on on TofuFighter asserting meaning both allegedly and illegibly before.

Why isn’t more being done to torque up President Trump?!11!!!?

“Oh, you got three this year, Mr. President? What a coincidence, Obama got three nominations this year as well.”

Or

“President Obama had 15 nominations, but if you want to get excited by three of them then have at it, Mr. President.”

Or

“If we guarantee that Obama won’t attend, will you go to the dedication of monument for the COVID 19 victims? It will include a statue of you, Mr. President. There is even talk of putting it on the White House grounds.”

How dare failed Presidential Candidate (1% and falling!) @CoryBooker make false charges and statements about me in addressing Judge Barrett.
Illegally, never even lived in Newark when he was Mayor. Guy is a total loser! I want better Healthcare for far less money, always.....

....protecting people with Pre-existing conditions. He has done nothing on Healthcare, cost or otherwise, or virtually anything else. An empty suit!!!

Shortened to "Master P DJT".

But that ignores how his main talent is baiting people.

I hear he is a master at it.

"He left! He left! He abandoned you" -- speaking in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Trump attacks Biden for the fact his family moved away from Pennsylvania when he was 10

"I'm immune. I could come down and start kissing everybody. I'll kiss every guy. Man and woman. Look at that guy, how handsome he is. I'll kiss him. Not with a lot of enjoyment, but that's okay." -

"You're immune right now" -- Trump asks how many people in the audience have had coronavirus, then congratulates them on being immune .

I tee them up, and whoosh...! :D

Having lost all sympathy for his sycophants, I would be running book on how many of them he will have infected. And also how many of them will have (re)infected him.

Put a sock on it, Trump. Oh, you did. My mistake.

Twitter is suppressing the free speech of Black Trump supporters!

Well, sort of. Not really.

From: CBC
Twitter said on Tuesday it had suspended a number of accounts purportedly owned by Black supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump and his re-election campaign, saying the accounts broke rules on spam and platform manipulation.... A review by Reuters of some of the suspended accounts showed they often used images of real people that did not match their names and posted identical language in their messages...some of the accounts used photos of Black American men that had appeared in news articles. Some used identical images of Trump as their header image.

The article didn't give any sort of indication about who was behind it. (Given past activities by the Russians, it wouldn't be surprising if they were behind it, although I am sure there are other pro-Trump activists who could have done it too.

There's a years=long habit of white supremacists using stock images to pose as black people on social media - usually complete with painfully bad imitations of AAVE. Typically, they manage to sucker other white supremacists, like the folks at Fox News or Breitbart. Non-US (usually Russian) bot farms got in on it later.

And they sucker Trump. :p

I think it should have a kindergarten teacher to give him stanley knives and electric sockets.

For the fun of it... The Lincoln Project has poked at Trump's treatment on Fox News.

Donald Trump Is Literally Begging People To Vote For Him, “Suburban women, would you please like me? Please. Please,” he said. “I saved your damn neighbourhood, OK?”

Reality finally kicking in for Trump?

I was driving into work this morning and notice that like mushrooms overnight a whole crap ton of "Don't vote for Biden! He puts black people in prison!" signs popped up in certain, let's just say 'urban' areas.

Bit of a derail here but I was looking through the replies to that and I found this link:

https://www.salon.com/2020/06/18/fox...ort-the-facts/

"An attorney for Fox News told a New York federal judge at a preliminary hearing that Tucker Carlson's audience does not expect him to report the facts — even when Carlson tells his audience that he is doing so.

And the attorney further argued that Carlson has no duty to look into whether his statements are truthful."

That's an interesting take.

That's why you always need to keep an eye on legal decisions. That's where (not always but a lot of the times) people have to say the quiet part loud.

You don't get it, but Megyn Kelly does: "“Please, please like me” is actually a pretty fun, funny, and self-deprecating way of connecting. This is why so many ppl forgive Trump his jagged edges - he can laugh at himself."

(No, no, no, it's not a cult at all. And Megyn Kelly is a real journalist.)

I think that I poked at that around the time the article came out, as it was, but yeah, Fox has literally argued in court that their viewers don't take them seriously, therefore they should not bear any liability for harmful lies and slander. Repeatedly, I think.

What's worse is that the argument works.

Incidentally, though, if you ever hear someone praise Carlson, you can point out that Fox has literally called them gullible idiots in court, now.

//Double post, thread must be getting long//

Way back on an episode of the Daily Show Jon Stewart broke down how Fox News "works."

They have their "opinion" shows just make stuff up to stir up controversy and then have their "news" report on the stuff people are talking about. It's basically journalistic push polling.

One of the big examples that was brought up at the time:

Original News Story: One class in one school sang a song about historically significant African-Americans, which included a verse about President Obama.

Later Opinion Piece: Ranting about children being forced to sing the praises of President Obama, with comparisons to North Korea.

Still Later News Story: People are outraged about reports of children being forced to sing songs praising President Obama.

Yeah Fox News really perfected the whole "People want answers on the 'Senator Johnson punches kittens' rumor. Why won't Senator Johnson answer these question?" when they are the ones who started the rumor that Senator Johnson punches kit routine.

Fox News also was, ironically, the first network to really realize "The Internet Exists" as a way to justify their outrage. Because it's the internet and if you can imagine an opinion out there that if it existed would make your blood boil, you can find one without too much effort.

"People are outraged over reports that President Obama is going take our guns to fund abortions!" where "people" is one anonymous Twitter troll.

One of the replies on that tweet:

"Jesus... you have completely jumped the shark. Bless your heart & FO."

:D

Jumped the shark? Everybody who's closer than 6 degree of Kevin Bacon to Trump has been jumping up and down on the shark yelling "LOOKIT ME! I'm Mister Jumpy McSharko!" for a while now.

Truth is, I think these conservatives are just better people than me.

If someone would try to belittle me with "blood coming out of my wherever", I wouldn't give this person any consideration for a very long time.
If someone would insinuate my dad was part of a murder plot, I won't forgive him in a thousand years.

But people like Megyn Kelly and Ted Cruz, god bless them, they are just way above those trivial feelings.

You're not wrong :D

The heroes we need but don't deserve.

And I just figured out how to multi-quote, yay me!
