The Trump Presidency: Sweet/Sweat 16

Hasn'tthe paid or not thing been flogged to death?

 

[The Man]

Would that be overtime flogging?

 

[Delphic Oracle]

This is the kind of conversation that makes voters mad.

From their perspective the issue is that the electric company doesn't take "the plant ran less shifts this week" as a valid form of payment.

Regardless of the mechanism, it's an unplannned-for economic shortfall in the household budget and can be wielded as a form of coercion.

Stick a fork in it. It's done. Now it's just down to who can get the last word in. Personally, I just skip those posts.

I'm having trouble imaging anything worse than a radioactive hurricane.

It could have been stopped with the right whatever. Such genius insight right there.

I think the phrase he was searching for was "a civilization ending nuclear exchange".

Oh come on, the convection of the nuclear blast throws water and sea-life into the air and at the same time breaking the hurricane into a series of tornadoes and you get the next Sci-Fi channel movie...

Yeah, I'll give it to you, that would be worse.

I can.

One ordered by the Bestest Scientist IN THE WORLD! Donald Trump, who suddenly pretends it was Hillary's or Obama's fault when the whole Atlantic is turned into a giant super-radioactive garden spray as well as a mass of destructive wind and rain.

Mega-atomic Godzilla-sharknado!

 

[Foolmewunz]

Whatever

This would be a "left whatever"?

At a news conference at the G7 meeting, Yamiche Alcindor of US PBS Newshour asked Trump why he claimed the reason Russia was kicked out of the G8 was because Obama engineered it. When he doubles down, Alcindor calls him on his lie, using that word.

Trump pivots at the end of the exchange. Maybe Kellyanne's been coaching him.

I can’t believe this is still going on. It’s quite simple, if I worked for this company and I took home more money as a result of attending the rally than alt. Universe me who did everything exactly the same but didn’t attend the rally, then I was paid to attend.

I know, why is this still going? And this is what I said, this is a semantics argument when the facts are clear, they got more money for going no matter how you label it.

Did you ever see On the Beach (1959 film) an end of the world movie where the people in Australia were waiting for the radioactive rain? Guess there was a remake in 2000.

In 2020 it will be the latest Sharknado installment. Trump will want the movie rights.

There you go.

He can't cut the reporters off like he can in White House briefings.

 

[Aridas]

The falling-out with Fox has been gradual, but amusing.

Judicial Watch is even worse than Fox, though, at last check. Can't say that I feel positively about more Trumpkins heading there.

Anyways, in other news...

Trump's Miami resort — where he wants to hold next G7 — was sued over bedbug infestation

 

[Norman Alexander]

Here's an interesting suggestion about the next G7: Just ******* cancel them until the USA gets a real president.

I noticed that when Macron was speaking in French, Melania was listening intently to the headphone which provided the translation. Odd for someone who claims she speaks French.

Maybe she is listening to the Russian translation...

Speaking a language doesn't necessarily mean you can follow someone who's speaking that language quickly, fluently and maybe using complex constructions.
