The Trump Presidency 15

[Tero]

Best witch hunt ever!

Meanwhile:

Not sure if Trump gained here:

On one hand it takes budget out of thecnews in 2020. On the other hand he can't blame Democrats for inaction.

However, it is a logical move, making the election about Trump. The only topic he is an expert on.

Imran knows he is dealing with a self-absorbed nutbag who has zero impact on reality nowdays and is only getting worse. Which is why he is not really fazed by this. It's purely an photo-op so he can look intelligent while Donny behaves like an escaped inmate from a home for the criminally insane and terminally bewildered. Same deal as Kim Jong Un and President Xi.

This is unfortunately not true

He's probably pretty close to having zero impact on the military brass, though. If this was an order they wouldn't follow it.

That looks like a typo to me. He probably meant zero awareness of or zero connection with reality. I think we're all well aware of his impact on reality.

The official slogan, afaik, is "Keep America Great Again".

Which suggests that Trump tried and failed multiple times to keep it great.

Too bad I can't think of another "K" word, because I'd love for the acronym to be KAKA.

I was saddened to learn of the recent passing of Bob Morgenthau, a truly great man! Bob served as a Naval Officer in World War II, was an extraordinary US Attorney, Manhattan District Attorney, and always a warrior for our Country that he loved so dearly....

....I got to know him over his many years as Chairman of the Police Athletic League, for which he devoted so much time and energy. Bob Morgenthau, a legend, will be greatly missed!

I'm sure if 'Bob' Morgenthau read those words he'd vomit. He was everything Trump isn't and never could be.

Robert Morgenthau also enlisted in the Navy, and spent four and a half years at sea during World War II. In 1944 his first ship was sunk by German aircraft and torpedoes off the coast of North Africa; 200 men were killed. A year later Morgenthau was aboard another destroyer that survived Japanese torpedo and dive bomber attacks during the battle of Iwo Jima...Morgenthau later said that while he was treading water in the Mediterranean he made a bargain with God: If he lived, he would go into public service.

He lived.

[As US Attorney in SDNY] his prosecutors went after the Mafia, and also pursued Roy Cohn and donors to Richard Nixon’s 1968 campaign, which did not endear Morgenthau to the new president. Then he bucked custom by refusing to hand in his resignation after Nixon took office in 1969. Nixon finally pushed Morgenthau out in January 1970. “I hope that my fight for independence will make it easier for my successor to withstand the harsh, narrow partisan views on law enforcement currently in favor at the Department of Justice in Washington,” Morgenthau wrote on his way out the door.

I'm sorry she lost her son, too. But there are limits. This is from a 2018 CNBC news report:


It's been demonstrated to Mendoza that her figure is false. But she keeps using it, badgering various Democratic figures, insisting they "won't do anything" about illegal immigration and that they have "blood on their hands" as a result. Enough is enuff.

The GAO report that Mendoza claims backs up her rhetoric:


When asked by CNBC to comment Mendoza doubled down. Literally!


She's definitely a hater.

Well, she's a Trump supporter. They aren't like real Americans. You can't expect integrity from their kind.

Maybe more a local idiom. The second interpretation is the correct version. Perhaps the equivalent of "not having any oars in the water"?

Just got back only to hear of a last minute change allowing a Never Trumper attorney to help Robert Mueller with his testimony before Congress tomorrow. What a disgrace to our system. Never heard of this before. VERY UNFAIR, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. A rigged Witch Hunt!

Just watched Rep. Eric Swalwell be asked endless softball questions by @marthamaccallum on @FoxNews about the phony Witch Hunt. He was just forced out of the Democrat Presidential Primary because he polled at ZERO. Fox sure ain’t what it used to be. Too bad!

Oh well, we still have the great @seanhannity who I hear has a really strong show tonight. 9:00 P.M.
Congratulations to our new Secretary of Defense, Mark @EsperDoD!

What is he, the TV guide??

I agree that Trump couldn't carry Bob Morgenthau's jockstrap, but let's not totally feather his nest. His calling to public service was a political speech, I'm sure. Either that or God didn't ring him back quite urgently. He went into public service sixteen years after WWII ended.

The only perspective you need to know is "New York Jew". Trump is a simpleton and needs to keep getting that message out as he's counting on the Israel=Jew vote. I doubt he and his in-laws are sitting shiva at the Morgenthau residence.

 

[quadraginta]

It's his delivery that's most disturbing. There's no difference in the inflections than when he said "Ten thousand people, and I could've filled that ten times and you know it"... a casual but typical pathological lie, than when he says he could kill ten million people.

He's become a complete sociopath.

I don't think he's "become" one. He's always been one. It isn't something you grow into.

He just has bigger toys to break now, and a bigger playground to break them in.

 

[smartcooky]

Update!

Who's next?

 

[quadraginta]

He said he could kill ten million but thought it over and decided he doesn't want to. How is that no comforting to the Afghans?

I doubt they were comforted by the idea that he had to think it over in the first place.

And given his penchant for changing his mind in an instant, I doubt they draw much comfort from the conclusion he came to this time. There's always a next time with Trump.

 

[quadraginta]

Although Trump himself wouldn't do well here. He's not as smart as many of his defenders here, and would embarrass them.

He wouldn't last long anyway. He couldn't follow the MA well enough to last more than a matter of days.

Why not use "KAKA"?

That would make the slogan re-entrant. Symbolic of Republicans' propensity to swallow their own bull ****.
