Cont: The Trump Presidency 11: Insert something funny

[Sideroxylon]

How about we stop this tedious derail and get back on topic and save a moderator some work.

Trump Tweets

Steel Dynamics announced that it will build a brand new 3 million ton steel mill in the Southwest that will create 600 good-paying U.S. JOBS. Steel JOBS are coming back to America, just like I predicted. Congratulations to Steel Dynamics!

I'm really looking forward to once again having a President that doesn't tweet.

Trump Tweets

Will CNN ever ask Border Patrol agents how they felt having large rocks chucked at them by criminal illegals?

Illegals can get up to $3,874 a month under Federal Assistance program. Our social security checks are on average $1200 a month.

RT if you agree: If you weren't born in the United States, you should receive $0 assistance.

Just in case anyone believes this complete malarky:

That $3,874 figure has been floating around. It appears to stem from a Facebook post in 2017, showing documentation of an initial payment to new residents in a country. But the payment wasn’t to an undocumented immigrant, it was to a refugee who was participating in a resettlement program. Actually, to a family of five refugees.

And the payment wasn’t in the United States. It was in Canada.

I have no opinion on that.

Never going to happen, well until Twitter is replaced by some other hot social media system, and it might actually be a staffer doing it. I look forward to a President that doesn't Tweet outright lies on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis.

I can certainly settle for that.

Wow way more accurate than I figured.

DONALD TRUMP SAYS ‘MY GUT TELLS ME MORE SOMETIMES THAN ANYBODY ELSE’S BRAIN CAN EVER TELL ME’

I think what it mostly tells him is "Eat mor chick'n!"

Twitter needs to ban Trump: he is clearly violating their Terms.

I'm really looking forward to once again having a President that doesn't tweet.

I personally am fascinated by the Tweet trains of thought, such as they are. They tell us more about the President than any news coverage can.

 

[phiwum]

Ah right, doh. My obvious point stands, save the facial recognition, though I do now find myself more vulnerable to being Bobbed.

For penance, go to your alcove.

We officially now have the dumbest and most gullible President ever elected.

Thanks, Trump voters. Thanks

...and it looks like his supporters feel he is on the same level as them.

This isn't Fake News, this is sowing deliberate false information. Trump is truly an utterly despicable piece of human garbage.

A little backstory for that picture...

The picture probably came to attention of Trump from a Twitter user. Trump subsequently retweeted the picture.

Which brings up a few issues:

- Why is Trump wasting his time reading and retweeting pictures when he could be, you know, working. (Granted, he is so incompetent that perhaps we're better off the less he does.)

- The picture shows people like Mueller and Rosenstein behind bars. That should be a red flag to some people... since the picture can be construed as a threat (i.e. we're going to throw you in jail)

- If those people really have broken the law, then why aren't they being prosecuted now? Mueller is not the only one capable of doing investigations, and you would figure that if any of the people in the picture had been doing something illegal they could have been charged in the ~2 years since Trump took office. But they haven't yet. Suggesting that either 1) Trump and his administration are incompetent, or 2) the people involved haven't really broken the law (not even laws against 'treason')

It's @The_Trump_Train

"Welcome to the #TrumpTrain, the greatest political movement in history.
Proud American. RT'd by
@realDonaldTrump"

I would give huge amounts of money to someone who could get Trump to publicly proclaim that he's pulling a train.

(Although the slang phrase "pulling a train" normally refers to a woman's actions.)

You're really just trolling, aren't you?

And now some good news!

https://markets.businessinsider.com...-to-surge-in-upper-midwest-2018-11-1027762385
At least 84 farm operations in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and parts of northwestern Wisconsin filed for bankruptcy in the 12 months that ended in June, according to a new analysis from the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, more than twice the level seen over the same period in 2014.

In fact, there are even more bankruptcies now than there were in the post-2008/9 recession.

Are we making America great again?

Why is it good news? Because rural America tends to vote republican, and Trump won 4 of the 5 states listed. So the farmers there are getting exactly what they voted for... a president who is getting the U.S. involved in a trade war which is harming their farms. Too bad there wasn't a way to know Trump might wreck international trade during the 2016 election. (Well, except for the fact that during the campaign he said he would do exactly that.)

Yeah, but he antagonizes the libs! That's gotta be worth something, right? It must, since that is what attracts so many to him.

Meanwhile on the Mexican immigrant issue.

Ammon Bundy (!) is more reasonable than the current POTUS:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/anti-...pushes-back-on-trumps-anti-immigrant-rhetoric

Ammon Bundy, an anti-government militia leader, issued a surprise critique of President Trump’s rhetoric regarding immigrants. In a video posted on Facebook, Bundy pushed back on the president for his comments portraying members of the migrant caravan as “criminals” and “gang members.” “It seems that there’s been this group stereotype,” Bundy says in the 17-minute video. “But what about those who have come here for reasons of need? . . . What about the fathers, the mothers, the children, who have come here and are willing to go through the process to apply for asylum so they can come into this country?” The video now has over 5,000 views.
