The Trump Presidency: Part 18

[Matthew Best]

I don't think there's any doubt that Trump would make Steely Dan unlistenable. Or any band, really.

I don't think he even likes music.

 

[calebprime]

Trump's music is that solo tuba rendition of Ride of the Valkyries.

 

[phiwum]

Has anybody ever wondered what it would be like if Donald Trump were vocalist for Steely Dan?

No, didn't think so. But just in case, if you did wonder, then wonder no more, for this is probably more or less what it would be like:

Sounds a little more like the William Shatner album with Ben Folds, "Has Been".

Not at all, "failing to recall" is a great way to seemingly deny something that definitely happened without committing perjury.

******* Regan. The source of the present ********.
Hinckly should still be in jail for failing to kill Ronnie.
But he’s not.
Is his aim better now? Asking for a friend.

Trump Tweets

The Navy will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s Trident Pin. This case was handled very badly from the beginning. Get back to business!

Trump ***** on veterans who do their job honorably.

What a ******* surprise

Breaking via NYT: The DOJ IG report "debunks a series of conspiracy theories and insinuations about the FBI that Mr. Trump and his allies have put forward." IG Horowitz "made no finding of politically biased actions" by top Comey, McCabe and Strzok.

CNN is reporting that Devin Nunes is up to his neck in the corruption that is the source of the Trump problems. No wonder he has protested so much...

Sadly, it will make no difference. Trump. Supporters. Just. Don't. Care.

I've never seen a more classic case of confirmation bias than I'm seeing from Trump supporters.

He says he is going to take CNN to court after Thanksgiving.

He says he is going to take CNN to court after Thanksgiving.

Does he think the 'C' in CNN stands for 'cow'?

Can you say "vexatious litigant", boys and girls? I knew you could!

I agree, except I'd replace "confirmation bias" with "cult worship."

Whoa there. Down that path lurks madness. Our great experiment will fail if we resort to violent changes of power.

And can I just say how screwed up you have to be if I'm the voice of reason.

 

[sts60]

He says he is going to take CNN to court after Thanksgiving.

No, he won’t. That treasonous little ferret-faced* halfwit knows they have him dead to rights. It’s just a characteristically transparent bluff, one soaked with extra flop-sweat.

He belongs in jail.


* Apologies to ferrets for the comparison.

Yes, but it would significantly reduce the length of the campaign season!

These "policies" often have a yearly cap as well, so they don't even prevent that.

Ironically, they can also discourage preventive medicine, since the cost of a test like a colonoscopy is equal to, or greater than the yearly premiums. A person in financially precarious circumstance that could manage $1500 for a test like that will need to forgo it in order to pay their years premiums.

I remember one hospital that refused my insurance because it did not pay enough. I was a low paid worker at the time. This was probably early in the Pres Obama administration. It was a city hospital so they took me

If the shoe fits...and it does.

I don't think his GOP cronies would get very enthused about the idea.

Depositions, discovery, testifying under oath ... that sort of thing.

But personally I hope he goes through with it. CNN would probably be tickled pink. I know I would.

It might have the potential to end much like Wilde v. Queensberry.

So will Ken White!
