Sir I'm going to have to ask you to stop trying to move the goalposts, I don't hate yellow or brown people. I really do not hate anyone. Unfortunately at times loss of life is just an unfortunate event. It's a risk we have to take.

Huh....thats weird.
The mere fact that i pissed someone off either means i stood for something or i said something offensive.

It's actually depressing that W is no longer the low watermark.


Eh, I had warmed to Bush some years ago. He was far more centrist in many aspects than people gave him credit for, and while he had some downright terrible policies, he also supported some which were rather good (Started the push for renewables, even though Switch Grass was some true nonsense; supported partial amnesty for illegals; a few others). He also played the idiot very well, but I felt people who actually thought he was an idiot were quite mistaken. He's not a genius, but he was fairly intelligent.

Trump, on the other hand, is a god damn frothing mouth idiot. I can't tell if he's senile, if he is infected with rabies, if this is all an act, or some combination of the three.

I can say that somebody in his administration has forward thinking, however, because every single time he says something ridiculous something terrible is going on in the background that people don't realize because they focus on his idiotic tweets. Which makes me think his most recent off-the-deep end tirade is indicative of something coming tomorrow or later this week.

It has sucked a lot of oxygen out of coverage of his attempts at voter suppression.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Obama told a lot of jokes in his term and actually told a few in the 2008 campaign too. There was the mic drop where he literally dropped it, and I seem to remember something about lolcats which was "gimmicky"; I can't find that though.

President Obama | White House Correspondents' Association Dinner | May 9, 2009 wrote:... Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in the audience. (Applause.) I do have to say, though, that this is a tough holiday for Rahm Emanuel because he's not used to saying the word "day" after "mother."


This is the rudest joke I can find from Obama. The butt of the joke is his Chief of Staff and personal friend, so it's hard to see it as really insulting but it is a bit "beneath the dignity of the office" I think.

Anything worse than that?

I think I saw a WaPo article on it recently

Genivaria wrote:Any military leader or expert can tell you this simple truism.
When war is declared innocent civilians will die, that is and has always been the case throughout recorded human history.

If someone actually thinks that civilians dying AT ALL during wartime is a legitimate thing to criticize someone about then please put forward the doctrine or technology that would reduce all collateral damage to 0.00%.

Until someone does this then it's not valid criticism.

And this is directed at Merizoc btw.

Not fucking going to war

Hahahaha

Because Trump doesn't realise that yes, utility providers can cut you off if you don't pay.


So can we all just accept that our Administration is actually run by soulless asshats? I mean for fuck's sake, they aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

And still supported by the people most likely affected.

Unless polls are showing him losing approval in coal country and the like, he's still pretty popular in those areas.

I mean, maybe not in this particular case, but there are multiple cases where the people most affected would be the demographics most likely to have voted Trump. And his policy will hurt them the most.

And they still support him.

A better artist than president.

Though if shitposting is an art, then Trump is the new Da Vinci. This last one on CNN is on par with the Japanese whaling tweet.

Rahm Emmanuel was known for having a rather explosive temper and tended to dissolve into explitives behind closed doors. The joke would be every time Rahm says 'mother', the word 'fucker' would always follow close behind
