The story behind it is excellent, too. The gentleman who erected the inflatable Trump Chicken (that came out sounding worse than intended) had applied for an installation permit from the Park Service several months ago, and has been waiting patiently and visiting them frequently to encourage them to grant the permit…

He kinda does. And that would actually be a sharp and brilliant tweet if, say, Jeb! (please clap) were president. But Trump is president. And he has majorities in both houses of Congress. It’s a failure of leadership of McConnell and Ryan, absolutely, that they were not prepared for this moment (or, rather, it’s…

God damn right. Jeff Flakes article the other week about how republicans created a monster pretty much confirmed it for me. Republicans are waiting for the axe to fall from Mueller so they can impeach.

I imagine Kelly about had a coronary when Trump came up with the Fire and Fury shit.

Correction. The President can enter the US into a state of war by his lonesome. The president can REQUEST a nuclear strike, but the two-man rule for launching it remains in place for the simple reason that there’s an assortment of bad things that could happen that could lead to the football, the codes or both ending…

Trump makes blustery threats almost as a reflex. People are learning to just ignore him because they know that he lacks the discipline to follow through. You see it domestically too; his Republicans have learned to mostly ignore his bluster — from his (empty) threats to endorse Paul Ryan’s opponent in the 2016 primary…

I think Trump must have a case of phones, and every time some one snatches one, he just pulls another one out of his arse(nel).

Of all the stupid and arrogant lies Trump has made recently, this one pretty much retires the trophy.

So that WaPo article about the Evangelical pastor who advises Trump and also seems to be hankering for both war and tax cuts is pretty terrifying.

Yup. Of the entire white house, I don’t think he’d lie, so much as evade.

Notice how he didn’t say they were wrong though....

Then again, it’s utterly inexcusable that this empire was allowed to flourish as long as it did with little resistance from either previous Presidents or the United Nations.

Aye, North Korea is kinda an out of control grease and tire fire, and it has been for over a decade, and only slowly getting worse. I don’t even blame China for not wanting to get involved too much in it, for all we know *they* could become Kim Jong Psycho’s first target.

And it was Trump’s fifth executive order, not his first.

Thing that also happened today:

“My first order as President was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before.” Trump, Aug 9 2017.

I’m not sure the word “hit” should be used in the same sentence as Suicide Squad. Profitable, maybe, but not hit.
