Cont: The Trump Presidency 11: Insert something funny

[dudalb]

Find someone that enjoys owning Individual One as much as you do.

Shades of "Unidicted Co Conspirator"

Trump is tweeting that the Mueller Investigation is undermining US Russian relatations.
I certainly hope so....

Good news! Baby Trump is back!

I would like to see Baby Trumps pop up all over the US.

We've been talking about a design (here in the varwoche household) where Baby Trump craps out minions that auto-inflate upon expulsion. A little McConnell balloon, a little Nunes balloon, a little The Mooch balloon, etc. An engineering challenge for sure.

The G20 Meeting has turned into dictators openly strutting their stuff on the world stage. We have not seen a spectacle like this since the 1930's.
And we have a President whose only desire is to join the strongman's club.
Unbeleivable.

You're funny, I'll give you that.

Even if you take the nameplate off, it's still a Yugo.

To the Great people of Alaska. You have been hit hard by a “big one.” Please follow the directions of the highly trained professionals who are there to help you. Your Federal Government will spare no expense. God Bless you ALL!

Great reviews on the USMCA - sooo much better than NAFTA!

Does he think it's a show?

 

[Andy_Ross]

It's spelled USMCA, pronounced Nafta.

He thinks everything is a TV show wit him as the star..it's a basic part of his narcissism.

Technically the USMCA replaces Nafta. The differences are pretty minor, but they are two different agreements.

But the text of the agreement still refers to itself as NAFTA.


Unrelated, I saw a photo of the G20 representatives getting ready for their group photo, and Trump was glowering like a sulking 5 year old who's upset that he's not the center of attention.

It's ALL a show. He IS a Reality TV star, after all.

Doe he plan to go there and toss rolls of paper towels to the victims?

Nope. that is reserved for victims who are Hispanics. Alaska is pretty much White.

Now is a moment when we might get a hint about the extent to which Trump is owned by Putin, and maybe MBS.

I strongly suspect that the jovial high-five between Putin and MBS is setting off Trump, he with skin thinner than a grape. It makes him look like an utter tool on the world stage. If the Mean Girl in Chief is silent...

Trump might need the House to seal the deal with regards to NAFTA 2.0.
What might he give up in return?

Actually, the revised trade deal might be a little better in the US favor. If Democrats are decent they'll accept it, I think.

It's not a big difference, as I understand it. But it's a little bit more in our favor.

Someone who knows more of the details can correct me.

I'm not really sure what that means, but everybody can read what TBD posted (which I quoted in its entirety), and everybody can read how he represented it. In the disparity lies comedy.

IMHO, Trump is about as owned by Putin as Benedict Arnold was owned by the British...

He's none too happy his BFFs are having fun without him.

Dictionary definition:

Impromptu: made, done, or formed on or as if on the spur of the moment : improvised.

Not really sure how people can characterize a meeting as 'impromptu' if it was scheduled ahead of time. If they're talking about the meeting happening at some future time, then how exactly is it "impromptu"? How do we know that this "impromptu" meeting won't cover exactly the same content as the 'official' meeting would have, just held at a different time?

Now, maybe they're calling it 'impromptu' based on the other part of the definition (improvised). But given the fact that Trump is too lazy and incompetent to actually plan anything, I think every meeting would be considered "improvised".

It's a meeting. It's not the one previously expected. I'd give Trump a pass on this one.
