So yes, that part would be out of character as we know it. It doesn't mean the accusation is false or true. Just stating.

Luckily amphetamine psychosis isn't a thing beyond any personality traits the President may have which haven't been on public display

Missed this absolute doozy at the time.

Not Trump, but I can't be bothered to find the 'America is full of garbage humans' thread. This is close enough.

Washington Post going with the subtle but hard to disagree with line that Mitch McConnell is a Russian asset. This concerns Moscow Mitch's efforts to rather than win a vote on taking no action to stop Russian interference in US elections to deny instead a vote even going to the Senate floor in the first place, Mitch's actions ignoring in the process the Senate Intelligence Committee, the FBI, the Defence Department, the DHS... all asserting that Russia has and is ongoing in their efforts to undermine US democracy. The vote Moscow Mitch is blocking from actually proceeding to a vote asks that US campaigns be required to report offers of aid, offers of aid they're already not allowed to accept but would be required to inform the FBI of in future, and also a requirement to use paper ballots. I assume the use of paper ballots would be to offset the risk of the electronic voting machines being hacked, though what sort of switchover from electronic to paper is being considered I don't know, I do know the firms behind the electoral voting machines have very few minimum federal standards to which they need adhere which presents a security risk, and I do know in wholly unrelated news Mitch McConnell has taken some big donations from some of the biggest firms behind those electronic voting machines.

Flood the swamp, flood the swamp...


(Oh and most of the heads of those agencies reporting Russian attempts to interfere are I think all Republican appointees, mostly Trump appointees I assume, the Senate Intelligence committee is cross party but chaired by a Republican, and it was also in Mueller's report with Mueller being a long time registered Republican)

Yes, well, go Team Racist, fuck yeah

and now Baltimore moves to the front line of the internet meme war on facts. What a pack of cunts. More government resources get committed to burying facts in the name of propaganda. Is it any wonder people slip through the net in a system that prioritises arms sales, corporate welfare, and a medieval wall over health, education, and a humane standard of living?

The race rows were a means to get focus off the Mueller report perhaps but now he's now happy with his coverage as a nailed on racist we're back to trade wars and stepping back from unfair treaties with no idea how to replace those treaties

What planet does this spunk basket live on?

Fucking staggering.

You see the tweet where he commented on Cummings house being broken into which was ended with 'too bad'?

What a complete cunt

One that might make him look bad?

Just 19 this time.

Nothing to see here...just thoughts and prayers.

The alleged suspect looks like a flag waving Trump supporter at this time, but will no doubt turn out to be mentally ill at some point, rather than a terrorist.

In any reasonable country they'd have already acted on guns, this is just ongoing lunacy now.

Same shit, different day. Dozens shot dead, and it's the same old deflective bullshit with the added bonus of an incompetent, ignorant and supremely non self aware head of state to guide us through it with notes and statements prepared by someone else. Fucking pathetic. Take ownership of your rhetoric and your office to actually act on something concrete, instead of conflating your manufactured immigration emergency with the actual emergency that allows anyone with a violent agenda to act upon that through the absurd conduit of ease of access to firearms you worthless tiny little man.

What sort of and how many drugs had they put into Trump that gave him the appearance of a zombie taking the fight to white supremacy? Or was that merely Trump not on speed giving a speech about tolerance?

I think he was just concentrating really, really hard on reading all the big, unfamiliar words off the autocue that someone else had clearly written for him.

I thing the stable genius still got one of the locations of the shootings wrong at some point, so too do Joe Biden in fairness, so work in progress

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Texas...

Talk about poor optics.

Top Tip: When visiting victims of a mass shooting it is advisable to avoid making promotional videos that feature ones self flashing a grin and giving the "double thumbs up".

There has been a lot of articles recently about the connection between prolonged use of methamphetamine by German WW1 veterans and the subsequent rise of the Nazi party.
I've heard the US are currently suffering an epidemic of opioids and amphetamines and they've elected themselves a psycho'.
I heard someone on RT saying that the one good thing about Trump was that he:
'clearly thinks war is bad for business'.

His lack of education might actually pay off in this respect. No one tell him....!!!!!.

When Trump took over one of his big thing was the cost of the new airplanes which could provide presidential transport had escalated well beyond what was reasonable, and he, Donald Ttump, was going to bring those costs smartly down to a level which actually represented value to the tax payer. And this started well, albeit without ever specifying where in the budget the cuts were coming, Donald Ttump was initially able to save $1 billion in the cost to US tax payers, this figure went to 1.4, then 1.5 and I think at some point he may even have claimed a saving of $1.6 billion. About a year into his term of office team Donald Ttump radically altered the claims of savings to the original costs to be in the millions, not billions. Now a year or so later and the proposed cost to US taxpayers is now billions of pounds above the plans that Ttump inherited

Stable genius for the win!

"Donald Trump has sparked global revulsion after being photographed grinning with a two-month-old child who was made an orphan during Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso which left 22 people dead."

Jesus Fucking Christ.
