God I wish I could disagree with you.

It’s Bullshit, they teach it at the Wharton School of Business. However in addition to that he seems to have picked up a very peculiar Moscow-influenced dialect, which is a first among American presidents, I am told.

I’m surprised he didn’t name drop Omarosa, or mention that George Washington Carver invented peanut butter. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Counterpoint: I flew from Las Vegas to Austin TX for $33 (on Allegiant Air). I was able to visit relatives that I never would have been able to afford to see otherwise. I bought socks and underwear at Walmart when I arrived and spent less than I would have on the bag charge.

That job listing for RL’s personal assistant seems pretty reasonable to me. If I had the money and was short on time, my list might be very similar. With one addition:

Here is senator Jeff Sessions grilling potential appointee Sally Yates in a confirmation hearing, about whether she would have the guts to say no to a president’s unlawful order:

It’s Nixon 1973, and we’re just over a week in.

Well to be fair, if you’re looking to get me interested in gaming, this is one way to do it.

You mean like Tamir Rice?

YES, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT

This terrifies me more than anything. Besides it being what a tinpot 3rd world dictator would do, what kind of crazy decisions are going to get made because no adults are in the room? Or what are they planning that the Joint Chiefs would put a stop to? Danger! Danger!

I say this as a white dude who cannot possibly imagine what is going through your head right now, I’m trying to put myself in your shoes and man that would drive me fucking insane. “Detained at the airport? Try executed in the street.”

I already live in Cali, so I’m fine with this. Prior to a few days ago I would have said our potential succession plan was silly, but now I’m on board. Also, I’m usually against nukes, but we have Lawrence Livermore and all the best rocket and aircraft companies here, and now I’m thinking maybe some kind of deterence…

If I were in the Chinese leadership right now, I’d already be planning the state visit that is sure to happen eventually if we don’t go to war first over some wet rocks. I bet there’s somewhere in Beijing they could take him that he’d have to climb a shit-ton of steps with no railings.

Well, we do agree on this: China doesn’t want a war, and will do what they can to avoid it. And I do not think starting a war with China is Trump’s goal. I think Trump is likely to make a mistake, especially pursuing his current course of action, that will push China over a red line that he is either ignorant of or…

If only you could get the leaders of China to feel the same way about it, we’d be all good. Hell, Trump might be thinking the same thing as you, which is why we’re about to get into a war with China. To hear the Chinese talk about it, their thinking is very different, and they have a different set of concerns they’re…

What does there not being any benefit to it have to do with anything? The administration flat-out stated today that we will be denying the Chinese access to the islands they’re building up. To the Chinese, this will be an act of war. Your opinion about what benefits either party is irrelevant.

The difference is this: People predicting this that would happen based on their own paranoia, as opposed to things we objectively see happening right now on our tv screens.

By “DO it” I assume you mean “Start a war with China” because that’s what we’re on track for. But it’ll be great, the best war, fantastic, believe me.

Oh he’s the legit president, alright. Just the same as Hitler was the legit Chancellor of Germany. There is no choice but to fight.
