the Office of The President of the United States used to be something that was revered, held in the highest of regards for integrity and dignity.  it was a beacon of hope, truth, and force. 

 

now we have a porn star by day, call girl by night with whom the president, while he was married, paid to have sex talking about the our president's dick looking like a toad from a kid's video game.  and to  about 1/3 of the country, it doesn't move the needle at all.

 

what fucked up times we live in.

We’re about to watch a sitting president tweeting about the size of his dick.

Hell, he all but bragged about it at a debate in the fall of '15.  Many, including myself, laughed at the time.  What little did we know.

After the first debate I predicted that at some point in the following contests, he was gonna whip out his dick and challenge his rivals to do the same. I was surprised-not-surprised when he practically did just that.

I'm assuming its just a descriptive way of saying he's got an unkempt forrest down there.  No landscaping or maintenance happening below the belt, likely because he can't see it below his enormous belly, or because he can't figure out where to get scissors small enough to fit his tiny hands.

Man, I bet this revelation is not going over well at Yeti Coolers Inc. Maybe the best play is to get Stormy to do a commercial for them.

The Senate is racing to avoid the third government shutdown of the year ahead of a looming end-of-the-month deadline.

Senators on Tuesday voted 93-7 to pass a sweeping $854 billion spending bill that includes funding for the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor and Education, which make up the lion’s share of total government spending.

Quote

Instead, senators are bracing for a December fight over funding for the border wall with both chambers far apart on how much to include. The House version of the bill included $5 billion of funding, while the Senate version included $1.6 billion and limited spending to reinforcing existing barriers.

Trump had made getting funding for his border wall a top priority including threatening to veto a March spending bill that he and his conservative allies felt didn’t include sufficient funding for the wall.

Ross is a hardcore protectionist 

There has to be some financial angle for Trump and Ross with these moronic tariffs.

If people really think Trump/Ross are doing this to help American workers, you haven’t been paying attention to the way these guys operate.

Everthing these guys do is for political or financial self interest and it’s safe to say trade wars are not helpful politically.

Indirect kickbacks to have them removed.

Yeah, but it's the Dems fault! They ruined the dignity of the office permanently when they elected a black guy!

You read the same book I did. I really believe that they hate trade and don't understand or reject what the vast majority of economists generally believe on trade deficits.

Its "muh feels" over science. Similar to global warming. If my memory of history serves, such beliefs caused a famine in the Soviet Union.

We elected an infant.

An infant with the power to destroy all of humanity with a single order.

 

Great job, folks.  Good work.  I think our work here is done.  This is the United States of America, signing off.

We elected Donald Trump.

If anyone is surprised by the way he acts, they're dumber than he is.

1.  They are not surprised.  They are PLEASED.  Because he "talks like they do."

2.  Fuck yes they are dumber than he is.  We have crossed the Idiocracy Rubicon.  It is done.

I mean, why did he make that noise? 

I've seen that expression and noise several times from him.  It happens when he wants to dismiss a question or close out a session with reporters by saying "thank you."  He does it in slow motion.  It's very bizarre.  "Thhhhhhhank you."

Let’s not forget that this all makes reasonable people errrrrr liberals angry.  It’s totally worth destroying the country and embarrassing ourselves on the international stage on the reg.

Full, unquestioned loyalty expected.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/18/trump-ron-desantis-hurricane-maria-828005

Quote

President Donald Trump is privately lashing out at one of his top allies, Ron DeSantis, angrily accusing the Florida Republican gubernatorial nominee of publicly betraying him.

The president has told close associates in recent days that he views DeSantis — who won his Aug. 28 GOP primary thanks to Trump’s strong support — as profoundly disloyal for distancing himself from the president’s assertion that the Hurricane Maria death toll was inflated by Democrats for political purposes.

“Ron DeSantis is committed to standing with the Puerto Rican community, especially after such a tragic loss of life. He doesn’t believe any loss of life has been inflated,” the DeSantis campaign said last week after Trump tweeted that "3000 people did not die” in Puerto Rico.

Quote

DeSantis’s reaction, however, particularly piqued the president. Trump views the former congressman as politically indebted to him, people familiar with the president’s thinking say, because he believes DeSantis owes his electoral success to him. The president has privately maintained that he was correct with his comments about the hurricane’s death toll, and has expressed frustration that DeSantis crossed him on the matter.

Quote

One person close to the president described the situation as a “divorce.” At the moment, Trump has no plans to travel to Florida to campaign for DeSantis in the November general election, according to two GOP officials familiar with the president’s schedule.

Jonathan Swan is the national political reporter for Politico.  Today, he held an AMA on Reddit.  This stands out, but not at all surprising:

 

Edit:  the link to the reddit page for some reason is this huge deal instead of just a link:

Q:  

Are there any particular topics you honestly don't believe is receiving enough press coverage or visibility?

 

 

Quote

 A:

Almost everything that's important across the federal government. I cover the White House, but I try to avoid as much as possible the gossip beat. I have covered Trump's trade agenda very closely, for example.

But so much is happening across the agencies that isn't getting national media attention. Skilled and knowledgable beat reporters, including some of my colleagues, closely follow the daily happenings at HHS, Energy, Interior etc. But they rarely rise to cable TV news.

A senior Trump administration gleefully noted to me a few months ago that their agency was doing things that would be very controversial in a normal world. They have almost no oversight from the White House, Trump doesn't care about their issue area, and the national media is obsessed with the Trump tweet of the day. That's a bad combination and means they can operate with little scrutiny.

Cool, so that could be ANY agency. A little help would be nice if he actually wanted to be the agent of change. I could assume that it’s the EPA, given all the complete bullshit they’ve pushed over the last year, but it could also be the NRC and that’s even more troubling...

Great.  We're gonna have a fort in Poland called Fort Trump.  Which means that within a few years, it will be taken over by creditors in a bankruptcy.  But until then, it will have the classiest gold-plated tanks and invisible planes you've ever seen, believe me.

I have to give the Polish President credit. He knows how to play Trump like a drum.   Not that its hard. Hes about to have billions of dollars pouring in and NATO and Space Force command free of charge while Trump bitches about Germany and South Korea not paying.  The name on the base is all that matters.
