Trump

[Lizard]

I see the Spanish central government are giving Trump a run for his money in the "Cunt of the week" stakes.

[morepork]

Cunt of the decade is his to lose.

He lined up nicely to be cunt of the century; barring an Adolf/JS second coming. Of course, of the likely candidates for that second coming... Trumps front and centre there, just itching to press that big red button (I wouldn't be at all surprised if they've made a big red button specifically for him, rather than reading out launch codes).

Out of interest, what's the award? A golden Fleshlight? He'd like that I reckon, he likes golden stuff, toilets, elevators... showers.

He gets to fuck his daughter.

Puerto Ricans do not have representation in congress are are not permitted to participate in the federal electoral vote. So there's that, and that they are not white, so there's that too. Trump is just a massive piece of shit.

Maybe he has prostitutes smear it on his waist

What an unmitigated fuckwit the man is.

It seems people are making an effort to resolve the NK crisis through diplomacy and the shit gibbon Tweets the following:



He just has to act like the tough guy on the internet, when a little bit of moderation and restraint would be most welcome.

Words fail me...almost.

[Which Tyler]

He wants to press a red button.

He's got a couple of decades of comments wishing that someone (American) had had the balls to use nukes so we could see how impressive they are and people would stop taking the USA for granted.
He also wants to go down in history, and it think he'd consider being remembered for eternity for using nukes as a good thing - smilie face

It seems like bluster and posturing, which is what he's used to. Talking like a bully to get what he wants. It's almost as if he's expecting Kim to suddenly turn around a say 'I'm so sowwy Donald'. That way Trump can be hailed as a hero.

Perhaps Trump hasn't thought that he could be dealing with someone else who is also used to getting their way and quite probably is, just as insane as himself.

It's absolutely bonkers that the fate of millions of people could well be determined by these two arseholes and how they're feeling on any given day.

[morepork]

He has no idea what he is talking about. Note that he gets his information second hand after what is left of the Department of State has done the work. He has been golfing for the past two weekends. He doesn't make any decisions. Goldman Sachs writes tax and labour policy (tax breaks and loopholes for the upper end, deregulation of environmental, safety and employer regulation), and the arms industry writes defence policy while significantly ramping up arms sales the world over (check it out). Being racist on social media is literally the only thing he does. Has he ever presented any sort of comprehensive account of budget plans or foreign policy to congress? No. Has he ever, in his entire career as a car salesman, ever once been invited to contribute to any valid discussion of any aspect of actual economics? Nein. His entire existence is built on a pig-ignorant and blatantly bullshitting social media platform learned via reality TV. He is a Tango insect feeding on sugar on a rotting sticky bun at the kiddies table.

[Lizard]

He seems to have a dysfunctional theory of mind and does not comprehend that other people can have knowledge he does not. When he learns new facts he repeats them as if they were entirely new discoveries: "Puerto Rico is actually an island!" "Healthcare is hard!"

[Stom]

As a (sort of) young person who's largely paid very little attention to history and only recently the most fleeting interest in politics, is Trump pretty much in the driver's seat to be anointed the worst US president of all time? Or have there been others this poor on so many fronts?

Well, if he gets impeached, he will be replaced by...

Mike Pence.

If not him, then...

Paul Ryan...

If not him, then...

Orrin Hatch...

I mean, I'm pretty sure those three would all be just as bad as Trump...

Possibly worse - can you imagine someone more bigotted than Trump; with an actual deology; and political competence?

You'd trade a reduced chance of nuclear war with an absolute hammering of civil rights (for anyone who isn't a rich, white, christian male - or a foetus)

[WaspInWales]

Hmmm Stephen Paddock doesn't sound very IS-ish.

Shame for Trump...perhaps he can divert with news from Marseille and Canada?

[Digby]

There are bad people on all sides, and he was with an 'asian'

[WaspInWales]

Never mind aid and supplies, the people of Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico have just had the President's Cup dedicated to them.



Wow...I'm sure they are already counting their blessings.

I love how the guy that presented Trump to the mic included the bit about him being the first sitting president to present the cup. Hmmm I wonder whose idea it was to add that bit of info? The orange twat looks well chuffed with himself.

Trump offers his "warmest condolences" to the families of 64 people gunned down by a gun nut in Vegas. I think English is his second language. Where are the "loser" tags man? I look forward to him hooking into the Vegas Mayor for dropping the ball. For me, an immediate travel ban on all white assault rifle owners is the only way forward.

Yup. Looking likely.

I'd go with an immediate ban on all assault rifle owners. There are jobs, and jobs other than police and armed forces, which might merit the use of a gun, but who needs an assault rifle for everyday use other than police and military?

From the Beeb article:

Investigators have found no link to international terrorism, despite a claim from so-called Islamic State.

Interesting and I always thought that IS would claim responsibility for any attack in western countries. It just would be nice if a link was established before the press are happy to print/broadcast it.

To be fair, I heard this as breaking news on the beeb and it was made very clear that it was at the very best, an unsubstantiated claim.

Yep, I'm just saying it would be nice if a link was proven before the news media tell us that ISIS have claimed responsibility. Not so much in mind for what happened in Las Vegas which looked to be very unlikely to be linked to ISIS, but previous attacks in Europe.

It just seems ISIS are happy to claim they are responsible for just about everything and the news publish it and as a result it just helps to create a frenzy when the facts may not support it.

[WaspInWales]

Who’d have thought a band of fuckheads losing territory by the day would claim credit for everything in a desperate attempt to big themselves up?

It’s plenty obvious they’re full of shit.

Yep, but my point is the media empower them and the slack jawed, knuckle draggers amongst us use it to fuel their own brand of hatred.

Sounds like the tactics employed by a certain orange head of state.

Bizarre choice of words...warmest ffs?!?

What I find weird is that a couple of generations ago Americans were fine changing their constitution to ban, then unban, alcohol but now that constitution appears to be the koranically unalterable word of god. Even if the “Founding Fathers” intended crazy white dudes to have the right to an arsenal of high-powered weapons, I think there’s a reasonable argument that they were wrong.
