I fucking love this President. My 2 faves during my lifetime are Trump and Nixon. They share a lot of similarities and were besieged by the same groups of assholes. No I’m not trolling. Y’all, the lef

To be fair to the walking mound of human lymph secretions that is our current President, LBJ actually did have Kennedy killed.  Nixon was either too blind or too polite to say anything about it.

To wit, George was just off camera watching his wife defend the indefensible. He’ll tell her he loves her tonight before they fall asleep. 

You’re married to a monster, George. 

The Conway's are the highly dysfunctional couple with the pill popping wife in and out of rehab version of Carville-Matalin. We are living in a very distorted version of reality.

A wonderful and tremendous time was had by all in El Paso!  Met some great people and everyone had a lot of fun.  This baby's parents are dead:

That picture is horrifying on so many levels. The couple who bear some responsibility for the death of that baby’s parents holding the baby while smiling and giving the camera a thumbs up. A photo op with a baby who has no choice in the matter, who someday will learn what happened and see this photo. 

Revolting.

Leaked draft of Trump Executive Order to 'Censor the Internet'

"In practice, this executive order would mean that whichever political party is in power could dictate what speech is allowed on the Internet."

I have no idea if this is legit, in part because I'm not clicking through, but just in case there is some truth to the leaked EO:

Quote

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I'm sure the angle here is that an EO is not Congress.  That would be a pretty sweet end-around.  Yay authoritarianism!

CNN reported on it too

A draft executive order from the White House could put the Federal Communications Commission in charge of shaping how Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR) and other large tech companies curate what appears on their websites, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

I always enjoy when Trump shits all over one of his disgraced former staff members as totally useless or unqualified to do the job. 

You hired him, you dumb fuck. 

It's weird but it's part of his psychology to always blame someone else. I saw an interview in the past few weeks where he was asked what mistakes he's made as president and his answer was "the people." Everything that didn't go his way was someone else's fault. He wasn't wrong to hire them, they were wrong for not living up to his expectations. He requires complete obedience and complete loyalty. If anything goes wrong, it's their fault, not his. 

Jeff Sessions is a perfect example. He's a racist piece of shit who had no business being the AG. He was instrumental in the policy of child abuse as a deterrent to illegal immigration. But he at least showed some integrity when he properly recused himself from the Russia investigation because he lied to Congress about his contacts with the Russians. He wasn't a perfect lackey. He didn't show complete fealty so he had to go. Trump sees himself as a good man for giving Sessions that job but Jeff let him down. Jeff's fault, not Don's. 

(Enter William Barr. He's not going to make the same mistake.)

He is like one of those greeting cards that no one ever buys because it's full of platitudes. Except his is full of platitudes, lies, and "gotchas".

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/08/11/does-trump-really-want-debate-mental-fitness/

 

Quote

President Trump projects so much that it’s a wonder he hasn’t gotten a job in a movie theater. At 6:44 p.m. on Saturday, about the time that normal people are getting ready for dinner, he tweeted: “Joe Biden just said, ‘We believe in facts, not truth.’ Does anybody really believe he is mentally fit to be president? We are ‘playing’ in a very big and complicated world. Joe doesn’t have a clue!”

Is this really the debate that Trump wants to have? Does he really want to have an argument about who is “mentally fit to be president” and who has a “clue” about what’s happening in the world? Because his own utterances of the past few days have confirmed what everyone who hasn’t joined his cult already knows: He is both unfit to be president and utterly clueless.

 

Quote

Just a few hours before launching his attack on Biden, Trump retweeted a comedian’s sick suggestion that the Clintons were responsible for the suicide of accused child molester Jeffrey Epstein: “Died of SUICIDE on 24/7 SUICIDE WATCH? Yeah right! How does that happen #JefferryEpstein [sic] had information on Bill Clinton & now he’s dead I see #TrumpBodyCount trending but we know who did this! RT if you’re not Surprised #EpsteinSuicide #ClintonBodyCount #ClintonCrimeFamily.”

 

Quote

So Epstein died in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons, which reports to Trump’s own attorney general, but it was the Clintons who were responsible? This is a reminder of all the other deranged theories Trump has promoted over the years, from claiming that Barack Obama forged his birth certificate to suggesting that Ted Cruz’s father helped kill John F. Kennedy. None of it, of course, make the slightest bit of sense. If the Clintons are so powerful as to slay their enemies, why weren’t they powerful enough to change 80,000 votes and defeat Trump in 2016?

 

Spoiler

To show how clueless Trump is, on Wednesday and Thursday he said he was thinking of pardoning former Illinois governor (and former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant) Rod Blagojevich, who is in prison on corruption charges. Trump claimed that Blagojevich was “treated unbelievably unfairly” by “the same gang, the Comey gang and all these sleazebags that did it.” Of course, as the Associated Press pointed out, James B. Comey “wasn’t in the FBI or anywhere in the Department of Justice during the investigation and indictment of Blagojevich. During that period, he was a vice president and general counsel at Lockheed Martin Corp.” But, hey, if the Clintons could cause someone’s death in a federal prison, why couldn’t Comey frame Blagojevich while in private practice?

Imagine what Trump would say about Biden’s mental fitness if the former vice president were promoting bonkers conspiracy theories like these? Or if he were saying half the things that Trump said at two Hamptons fundraisers Friday? According to the New York Post, owned by Trump’s confidant Rupert Murdoch, the president “made fun of US allies South Korea, Japan and the European Union — mimicking Japanese and Korean accents — and talked about his love of dictators Kim Jong Un and the current ruler of Saudi Arabia.” Trump was particularly effusive about Kim, reportedly saying, “I just got a beautiful letter from him this week. We are friends. People say he only smiles when he sees me.”

This is pathological. In his 2018 State of the Union address — i.e., only about 18 months ago — Trump rightly said “no regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally or brutally than the cruel dictatorship in North Korea.” But now he thinks that he is carrying on a romance with that cruel dictator — who, like a teenager in love, “only smiles when he sees me.”

Needless to say, there is no evidence that Kim reciprocates Trump’s man-crush. In the past three weeks, North Korea has conducted five missile tests in violation of U.N. sanctions. Despite Kim’s vague promises of “denuclearization” at the Singapore summit in June 2018, North Korea has also continued producing fissile material for more nuclear weapons. And despite Kim’s promises when he met Trump at the DMZ on June 30 to restart negotiations, no working-level talks have convened.

But Trump continues to make excuses for Kim, even agreeing with him that military exercises between the United States and its ally South Korea are “ridiculous and expensive.” Trump appears to be more upset about the criticism of him from former aide Anthony Scaramucci on Bill Maher’s HBO show than he is about North Korea’s growing arsenal of nuclear weapons and missiles.

Biden is notorious for his malapropisms and mistakes, but he has never in his whole life said anything half as batty as what Trump has said just in the past few days. If we are judging presidential candidates on their mental fitness, Trump will be told by the voters: You’re fired! In fact, if Republicans were not in the tank, we would not have to wait until November 2020 to get rid of him. For the safety of the country and the world, Trump should be removed immediately by impeachment or the 25th Amendment.

...other than the fact that this Administration has probably done more than any other Administration in its first 2 1/2 years of existence.

Good thing you qualified that with a "probably," DJ. The Emancipation Proclamation Administration would like a word with you. Along with a lot more Administrations. Poor little DJ, just can't get his props.

Donny, Joe, and Mika do suck tho...It doesn’t get much more white people of privilege and comfort in the media telling everyone to vote for Joe Biden than those three.  And they do this as no one remembers how they built Trump in 2015 by normalizing him throughout the campaign.

Everyone remembers that. They've been criticized plenty for it.

Apparently the sandy blonde tangerine dusted off his asian accent to mock Japan and South Korea at a fundraiser this evening. 

So he's decided he doesn't need Asian voters next year.  I'm sure it won't be a big deal.

Meanwhile Andrew Yang is getting ready to time travel to save us.
