So-Called President Trump Threatens to Investigate Sen. Schumer, Based on Gateway Pundit Blog Post

The Stupidest Man on the Internet is feeding talking points to the Narcissist in Chief
Politics • Views: 50,171

Our Narcissist in Chief just keeps getting more absurd and deranged, and today’s example is a doozy. Because not only is he threatening to use his office to retaliate against Sen. Chuck Schumer for Schumer’s criticism of Trump’s ties to Russia, the tiny-fingered fascist got his attack meme directly from the ridiculous website of the Stupidest Man on the Internet, Jim Hoft.

I think I’m getting a migraine.

It’s a nonstop shit show, and of course, Trump thinks he’s got the gotcha moment here.

Sorry, but Schumer took care of that with a monster jam of his own.

This is what I’ve been worried about since I joined this board: a closed circle of press and government. Sincerity versus cynicism doesn’t even matter; everything will now be true enough They will simultaneously lie as kind of “self defense” against what they perceive as lies, and make themselves believe those lies to be “true”
by repetition and rhetoric.

Everything they accuse others of reveals what they’re going to do.

Facebook Post

English Translation (between hysterical giggle fits):
LINNÉA CLAESON’S 10 TIPS FOR AVOIDING RAPE:

1. If you see someone who is too intoxicated, do not rape him/her.

2. If you know you will go into aggressive and assault mode when you drink, be careful with alcohol.

3. Do not go home alone at night if you think you might be going to rape someone going alone. Ask a friend to take you home or call and talk to someone all the way to your door so you can get home safely. Better safe than raping someone, as I say.

4. Choose which route you take home, maybe it’s better with the street is lit and crowded so you do not get the same opportunity to victimize anyone.

5. Carry an panic button with you, so if you suddenly feel strongly to assault someone, you can pull the alarm so it sounds loud so anyone can come and stop you and you scare away potential victims.

6. If you see someone sleeping, let him or her be, never grope the person.

7. Assume that anything but a yes is a no.

8. Join a self-defense course so you in an emergency can overpower yourself and thus defend yourself and others by not harass anyone. Maybe you can kick on something so you hurt as hell in the shin or hit yourself in the groin or larynx so that the person you thought molest gets time to get away.

9. Defence Spray is a classic. As soon as you feel you are in an unsafe situation where you might be sexually assaulting someone rips you off your spray and spray yourself in the eye so that you become disoriented and feeling bad. It gets a little conditioning too, think Pavlos dogs. Best Solution!

10. Review your values, your view of sex and consent, and your self-image and humanity, and above all: Do not act like a fucking idiot.

Has the president ever actually testified before Congress? I vaguely recall there being some sort of separation of powers argument against Congress being able to require the president to testify. But if he did it voluntarily?

I think Trump’s single biggest mistake (from his PoV) was accusing Schumer of faking tears at a Holocaust ceremony. My worry about Chuck was that he was too much of a schmoozer, a get-along-to-go-along guy. But Donnie tried to kick him in the balls, and now they’re permanent enemies. It may be playground-ish, but GOOD!

Ok, so apparently, I misremembered stuff, because Washington, Lincoln, Wilson, and Ford have testified before Congress while president.

Though I’m not entirely sure if they did so voluntarily or pursuant to Congressional subpoena powers.

You think Trump is a mess as president? Wait until you get a load of Donald J. Trump State Park.

Donald J. Trump State Park sits in Westchester County, New York, and encompasses 436 acres of land originally purchased by Trump in the ’90s. He intended to develop it into a golf course, but couldn’t get permits from the towns in which the property sits, and thus turned around to donate the land to the state of New York in 2006, subsequently claiming a $100 million tax write-off. The park closed due to budget cuts in 2010, though it only had a $2,500 annual budget prior to that, and now sits mostly abandoned and entirely uncared for. In 2010, there was an attempt to convert at least part of the property into a dog park, but the New York State Office Of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation ran into trouble when it both had issues raising funds and discovered asbestos in at least one building on the property.

Also, AV Club throws some shade…

It’s worth noting that over the years, New York state legislators have tried to have the park’s name changed to something less horrible, like Pete Seeger State Park or Peter Salem State Park, after an African-American Revolutionary War soldier who is believed by some historians to have been Muslim. Instead, it remains Donald J. Trump State Park and probably will for the foreseeable future, barring Trump’s inevitable impeachment and removal from office.

There are so many things wrong with this, I’m just going to resort to bullet points:

-Nigeria is not on the travel ban list.
-The travel ban list is unconstitutional.
-Omin had a valid visa.
-Visas don’t become “less valid” based on the color of your skin.
-This would never happen to a white person, from anywhere.
-This would never happen to a white software engineer.
-This is a new jack literacy test.
-Literacy tests are unconstitutional.

Have you ever flown from Nigeria to JFK? I have. It’s a long flight. If you ask me to name my children after that flight, there’s only a 50% chance I’d get it right.

They’re acting like they can do whatever they like because there’s absolutely no check on their power. Their superiors are letting them run wild because the people being targeted are “others’ that they were elected to crack down on. The judiciary can only hand down rulings, they lack an enforcement body and so much rely upon agencies that fall under the same umbrella as CBP to enforce their rulings. And the legislature is afraid to put a stop to it because their political careers rely upon being a rubber stamp to this regime.

re: #67 Mattand

I’m trying not to be “that guy “, and I no way want to give the appearance that I’m legitimizing anything SMOTI does, but what exactly is the context of Schumer having donuts with Putin?

Putin was in NY in 2003. He visited a Manhattan gas station then recently purchased by Russian conglomerate Lukoil. Later in the day Putin would meet with Bush in NYC.

Lukoil’s official christening took place on a day of low grey skies and warm weather, at noon. The Gas station, on Twenty Fourth Street and Tenth Avenue was surrounded by secret service officials from two countries. They all wore suits and serious expressions. Tenth Avenue was closed off at 23rd Street. Twenty Fourth Street was closed off a block West. Pedestrians and bicyclists were asked to stand on the East side of the avenue, and the street was kept clear. There wasn’t much time for a crowd to gather, as Putin’s presence in Chelsea didn’t last much longer than twenty minutes.

A male roller blader in shorts came barreling up twenty fourth street wearing large headphones. He was oblivious to the shouts of “Stop!” and “Halt!” The men in suits tackled him. Headphones askew, he sputtered, “What the Hell?”

After Putin had posed for the cameras with Schumer, he went to the waiting limousine. Shumer walked to the curb and when Putin was inside the Limo Schumer waved to him through the window. Putin waved back. Then the Limo sped off in the direction of the UN. It was followed by two Black Chevrolet Suburbans, impeccably polished black, windows down, each one crammed with the men in suits. This was followed by a Chevrolet Suburban crammed with men in Army fatigues and helmets holding AK 47s. Many of them were wearing shades, either Oakleys of Ray Ban wrap arounds. This was followed by two vans with tinted windows, in side of which someone thought they saw a really big mounted machine gun. “Holy shit you see that gun!” he exclaimed. No one else had.

Putin’s Limo had curtains on the windows. They were pulled aside for the departure. The curtains seemed like a Russian touch. It seemed like Putin was in the Limo that was his Limo until the vans with the tinted windows went by, and were followed by a very long limousine whose make and model were unclear. Other than a fire truck trailing at some distance, this big Limo with the strange shape and color was bringing up the rear of the motorcade. It was empty.

So their policy is to throw the mothers in cells while throwing the kids into foster-care. They’re arguing that it’s to “deter” mothers from immigrating with their kids, but reading between the lines its yet another measure aimed at driving up deportation numbers while complying with the letter (while violating the spirit) of a Ninth Court ruling from last year that children in detention must be released in a speedy fashion.

And the very next story will be about mass loss of produce due to there being NO AROUND TO DO THE PICKING.

Nah, that won’t be reported upon because the negative consequences of mass deportation don’t exist in the minds of wingnuts. It’ll instead be presented as “farmers getting what’s coming to them” for relying for years on immigrant labor rather than hiring good ol’ boys to do the picking. What’s that, there’s not enough good ol’ boys to do the job at the wages the migrant workers would work for? Bah, they’re just not trying hard enough, because any idiot can pick a head of lettuce.

“CDC recommends that consumers do not eat, and childcare centers, schools and other institutions do not serve, any I.M. Healthy brand SoyNut Butter or I.M. Healthy brand granola coated with SoyNut Butter,” the CDC said in statement.

“And in future, don’t look for any more advice on what’s safe, cause we won’t know.”

“…For the nation’s public health agency, Obamacare repeal means a big funding cut, although it was never supposed to be that way.

Time and time again over the last few years, Congress dipped into a special public health fund set up under the Affordable Care Act to patch over cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, instead of using the account for new projects as intended.

The CDC has become so reliant on the healthcare law’s Prevention and Public Health Fund that the agency now uses the fund to finance 12 percent of its programs. That money could be erased if Republicans follow through on their promises to repeal much of the law.

I’m honestly beginning to wonder if the GOP could bring itself to do anything if those transcripts became public. They just had it revealed that their new AG (which they all voted for) committed perjury to lie about talks with the Russian ambassador, and the most they could find it in themselves to do was call for him to recuse himself and “clarify” his testimony. One or two have called for a special prosecutor, but the leadership is camped on the “It’s bad, but not that bad” line.

So if these transcripts came out tomorrow and showed that there was active collusion between their newly-minted president and a foreign government to swing the election, what would they do? Personal opinion? They’d call for an investigation, perhaps a special prosecutor, but only for one purpose: delaying tactic. Try to drag it out for months or years in the hopes that people will have forgotten or that the political damage of removing him from office won’t negatively impact the mid-terms. The idea that they’d rush to impeach anyone involved in this administration is rather fanciful under the present circumstances.

That is the story of 100 years of African American history in the South. Merely being in public was grounds for a “vagrancy” charge that got you 5 to 10 years at manual labor (The “Pig Laws”). Thousands upon thousands of African American men who had been freed were rounded back up and put into chain gangs. ..and then it happened to their sons (and daughters) and then the grandkids and great grandkids.

He has already done, and will continue to do things to warrant impeachment without even worrying about the Russian connections. We can let that evidence pile up until no one can ignore it.

Pursuing the Russian connections and interference will more likely result in a resignation (assuming he can be coaxed or shamed into it) rather than a trial and that might be the best course of action to avoid a constitutional crisis.

There is another option; impeach Trump now lickety-split and the GOP can pose as “saviors of the republic” by the time the mid-terms roll around next November. Let’s bear in mind that voters tend to have short memories, a peculiar and highly selective form of amnesia. This particular malady seems to be especially pronounced in Republican voters.

Ha. It is just so insane. Why more conservatives aren’t furious about this would shock me but then I remember how many of them hate liberals more htan anything else.

You’ve hit it on the head there, and it speaks to how the political culture in this country has deteriorated over the last 30 years. Well, hell, I’m sure it’s been longer than that, but the real vitriol that I remember started up in the H. W. Bush era.

Yeah, I’m going to disagree. No particular rational reason why - just the last remnants of my optimism speaking up.

We already saw rwnj outbreaks like the Bundy clan, the various militia and 3%’ers not to mention the massive outbreak of vandalism, hate crimes, burning mosques etc in the last 3 months.

Mob violence is in the air, and the election of Trump gave social ‘permission’ for racists and militia groups to act out in a way they felt constrained from doing under Obama. That Genie is not going back in the bottle without drawing blood.

re: #162 Dr Lizardo

There is another option; impeach Trump now lickety-split and the GOP can pose as “saviors of the republic” by the time the mid-terms roll around next November. Let’s bear in mind that voters tend to have short memories, a peculiar and highly selective form of amnesia. This particular malady seems to be especially pronounced in Republican voters.

The GOP is terrified of their own base.

And while the rank and file “moderates” might have short memories, the hardcore members of the base are still nursing grudges going back decades. If the GOP can’t find some way to convince them that jettisoning Trump is a positive for conservatives as a whole, they’ll pay dearly for it next year.

Matters aren’t helped when the media is lapping happily at daddy’s boot. The front page story for USA Today yesterday was about that speech the media’s swooning over causing NASDAQ to peak over 21,000. The idea that this is an unsustainable bubble, pushed not by real-world factors but “confidence” that Trump is going to magically make his policies happen overnight, have not yet filtered into the media’s world.

Fastest to 21,000. Ignoring the math that the percentage gain for each successive 1,000 point rise drops.

Going from 10,000 to 11,000 is a higher percentage gain than going from 20,000 to 21,000. Both are 1,000 point jumps, but the first is a 10% jump. The second is a 5% jump.

Obama presided over a stock market that more than doubled from when he took office until he left office. The GOP spent the entire time denying him credit for any of the increase, and all of the blame that the economy didn’t rush back even quicker (just ignore the GOP obstructing on everything).

Now, Trump touts his increases, and takes credit for them personally. The GOP has no problem cheering him on.

The Sad Truth About Milo Yiannopoulos

Worth reading just for the insults.

Milo’s secret is that he’s one of the most boring people on the planet.

like every other failed reactionary loser to get bored of these pissy British islands, he went off to seek fame in America, where people confuse our accents for wit and our humdrum sex lives for personality.

He’s someone’s dad, a spluttering retired colonel full of gravy and defeat,

and

Milo’s fanboys—and there are a lot of them, even now, these sad scrawny men whose hairs jostle with pimples across an always strangely damp face—usually have two lines of argument when it comes to their hero. First, he’s just trolling. Milo is a jester and an ironist—he says things for attention and shock value—and if you let yourself get upset by them, you’ve just proven yourself to be his plaything. Second, and closely related, any criticism of the man just gives him more attention: iIf it weren’t for all the outrage, he’d still be just another sad dweeb reviewing pencils for the Telegraph, and every time you make fun of his flimsy pretensions, you’re just helping him get more famous and feeding the vast churning mill of his ego. Luckily, these are both bullshit.

Well, IIRC Augustus stole a day from February so his month would be same as the one named for Julius. Of course, the big difference was that non-Italians could be full citizens.

Dreher would need a new month with 32 days because he’s just that holy.

If trump would stop being a deranged asshole, I’d go along with him adding a day to Craptober or Flabuary.
But stealing a day from February I must take personally since that is my birth month. If I see Augustus in the afterlife, I shall have words with him.

Rachel Maddow on how she doubled her viewship: We stopped watching his Twitter feed.

thewrap.com

She has beat CNN’s 9PM ET program for viewers for forty-five straight months.

The Rachel Maddow Show increased viewership 99% compared to February 2016, CNN gained 70%, and FOX News Channel increased 31%.

MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” has been on a roll, posting her best ratings month ever in February and nearly doubling her viewership. Her secret is simple. Maddow said she covers President Donald Trump’s White House in a very old-fashioned Hollywood way.

“We developed sort of an informal, internal mantra… which is that we basically cover them as if they are a silent movie,” Maddow told TheWrap. “I stopped covering the Twitter feed and we started covering only what they do rather than what they say.”

It’s working. In February, Maddow racked up MSNBC’s largest total viewer audience ever in the 9 p.m. ET timeslot and the best performance among the key news demo of adults age 25-54 since November 2012.

A woman’s pet marmoset was stolen while she was cleaning her trailer home in Homestead. The Miami Herald reported on the theft, she offered a $1,000 reward, a neighbour took a video through someone else’s trailer of the marmoset.

The fellow claimed to the police he’d caught a rat, but only realised later that it was a monkey. He then tried to sell the marmoset for $900, and the story gets even weirder from there.

The monkey was seized in a police raid and returned to its rightful owner. The thief is in jail on $5,000 bond.

Speaking of Florida, their Kill at Will law may be morphing into Kill For Any Reason at All (except to save the life of the mother).

Florida could flip burden of proving ‘stand your ground’

Florida’s “stand your ground” law, a source of contention for years, could soon provide even more protection to people who invoke it. Some lawmakers want to make prosecutors prove a defendant wasn’t acting in self-defense before proceeding to trial.

Florida has been a leader in giving citizens immunity in cases of self-defense, with its “stand your ground” law serving as an emotional point of debate after several high-profile shooting deaths, including that of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin.

While at least 22 states have similar laws that say people can use force — even deadly force — to defend themselves from threats, Florida could soon be alone shifting the burden of proof to prosecutors.

Okay then FoxNews, we can have a quick investigation as to whether there was any legal problem with these meetings:

First, regarding those lawmakers, how many of those meetings were not as a course of their job duties as elected officials, but instead acting on behalf of an election campaign to coordinate espionage against said candidate’s opponent?

Second, were these meetings public knowledge, and all expenses tied to them tied to their public office, or were they secretly conducted and financed out of the expense account of the beforementioned election campaign?

And finally, how many of those Democratic lawmakers lied about meeting with the ambassador under oath?

These should all be very easy to answer - and a quick hint. One of these conditions is perfectly legal, and in fact a damn good sign that they are doing their jobs.

They have defined ‘truth’ as what Republicans speak and ‘lies’ as what Democrats speak, and that little error will need to be thoroughly dealt with before getting to “under oath”.

Trump ran on the idea that China was “stealing” jobs from the USA, and he would fix. In truth, his boneheaded policies are allowing China to step into the vacuum left by Trump’s policies.

Central and South America are now ready for the taking. Xi Jinping is much smarter than Trump, and he’s played hardball within his party since he left college.
