Honestly, it was seriously stupid.

He said some good things, people Clapped - AND THEN he said it was a quote from Donald J Trump. Be fore the crowd could even react - he said "Just kidding, it was Obama".

What are you trying to promote here exactly?

It's weird.

I watched that video and at best it was just really poorly timed comedy, comedy that had really no depth to it.


The phrase that " Don't just get involved, fight for a seat at the table, better than that - fight for a seat at the head of the table"

IS BAIT for what? Bait for liberals? Bait for anyone? Bait for Trumpers? Bait for Liberals? Bait for fools? What?

That the crowd paused and applauded as he said "Donald J Trump I'm Kidding I'm Kidding That Was Barack Obama" (all in 5 seconds) as the crowds reaction morphs into a new level of confusions if they should applaud a Good thing Said By a Bad Guy, but really Wasn't…..


WHAT IS YOUR POINT?!

Water bottles belong on the floor.

It does say National Response Coordination Center. Can I assume there is a context? Maybe? No?

New Athens, GA commissioner swore herself in on a copy of Malcolm X's autobiography.

Once again proving that body language is often more important than the words being spoken. That's an amazing photo.

I don't know the context so I don't understand what is remarkable. I do take certain schadenfreude in how small he looks, almost as if a willful child being schooled while she commands the attention he so craves.

I just see frustrated people working with this monster and he sits armed folded because he already has a master.

It's a depressing picture.

I see potty training gone frustratingly wrong.

It's like a teacher scolding a spoiled rotten little privileged child who knows his parents will not care at all about what she is telling him is so "important".

He's just hiding his tiny hands.

Some samples of how my conservative acquaintances are spinning this one (via a caption contest).

- "Shit, this guy isn't Bluffing"
- "I wish I had the same courage and love for my own country as this guy does"
- "Dis ist frustrating. Ve are used to negotiating vit a pussy."

John Bolton's tweet:

Just another #G7 where other countries expect America will always be their bank. The President made it clear today. No more.

Le sigh.

(side note: Why is John Bolton at the G7...er 6 meeting? Is it standard practice for the National Security Adviser to be there?)

Trump carries him around for luck.

From multiple angles it tells a different picture, so to speak.

Fixed.

I also find it hilarious that they interpret the G7 as some sort of used car sales negotiation. I'm so tired of the willfully ignorant. Being stupid isn't a crime. Being proud of it should be.

(We need an emoji for "Can you imagine the shitstorm if Obama had done this?")

I have to say, the N Korean military (officers?) have the silliest looking hats ever. It’s a comically large soup bowl just plopped on top of more traditional military cap.

Could be a satellite dish I guess, for tracking.

Military uniforms have always been dignified until NK ruined it.

Those 2 dudes just look so Canadian. It would be hilariously stereotypical if it weren't true that we all look like that.

The tuques are a nice touch. Note that there is snow on the ground but one dude is in a tee shirt but still wears a tuque.

Everyone should watch Colbert's piece on the abomination that's going on in our name at the borders from last night:

I can't. Once upon a time bad things were done by bad men in countries far away.

But the west was different.

I can't handle a single man with complacent henchmen turning that into a lie.

Well, I can only handle it in small doses, and I'm full up for today.

Accompanying article.

The desperate sobbing of 10 Central American children, separated from their parents one day last week by immigration authorities at the border, makes for excruciating listening. Many of them sound like they’re crying so hard, they can barely breathe. They scream “Mami” and “Papá” over and over again, as if those are the only words they know.

The baritone voice of a Border Patrol agent booms above the crying. “Well, we have an orchestra here,” he jokes. “What’s missing is a conductor.”

Yo Rip, in your view did they deserve this torture?

Who, the kids? About as much as the many families who lost loved ones to the crimes of the illegal immigrants they let in.











I could go on but I doubt it will get anywhere.

How about we end that and strengthen border security and monitoring of those applying for asylum and such and end this separation program at once? Should pass easily if people really care about the innocents.

Oh FFS. FFS. Shame on you.

Family separation could be ended in 60 seconds with a phone call from the White House.

Why do you pretend otherwise? Have you no sense of decency?

Fuck Trump. These atrocities are on him and his supporters.

Regarding the creator of those videos, FAIR (via Wiki):

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) currently classifies FAIR as a hate group, citing among other things the organization's anti-Latino and anti-Catholic attitudes, its acceptance of $1.2 million from a racist foundation, the Pioneer Fund, its hiring as key officials men who also joined white supremacist groups, having board members who also write regularly for hate publications, its promotion of racist conspiracy theories, and the white supremacist beliefs of its founder. In 1982, John Tanton wrote "As Whites see their power and control over their lives declining, will they simply go quietly into the night? Or will there be an explosion." The SPLC issued an intelligence report in 2007, after which they added FAIR to its list of hate groups.

Trump is actually blaming the Dems for child separations. In fact it was him, the GOP, and Sessions.

I blame you, Mexico. You want your children back? Build him his wall like he promised you would. Do promises mean nothing to you?

Dems should propose a bill stating that they'll match - dollar for dollar - any funding for The Wall (tm) that Mexico puts up.
