I assumed when he first mentioned it that indeed it was a record crowd for the building but the repeated tweets about it are an obvious tell that it was not.
How about naming some white nationalist organizations ORGANIZATIONS OF TERROR you nazi fuck???
These motherfuckers are really about to have the gall to name Antifa a terrorist organization with a kill count of 0, while white nationalists are dropping people by the dozens.
BREAKING: Scaramucci says Scaramucci will say anything to get media attention.
Agree itâs well-written. But I have trouble with the idea that Trump actually âbelievesâ much of anything, at least in the way normal people believe things. If you could really sit him down and look him in the eyes and say âYou did not win any sort of Michigan Man of the Year awardâ he might say âFake News!â but if you drilled down the real answer from him would be âit doesnât matterâ. As has been said from the beginning with him, heâs a bullshitter more than a liar. But heâs also a liar.
With all that said there is probably some stuff he really does believe: brown people are bad and dangerous, Donald Trump is the greatest human who has ever lived, etc.
Yeah itâs well written, but the writer is missing the fact that Donald Trump metabolizes garbage just fine. His brain basically only intakes stuff it thinks it can use for personal gain. Often thatâs because he thinks that fact can be bent and twisted to fit its needs. Facts and lies in this context are nearly interchangeable because whether something is true or not isnât even a field heâs bothering to store.
This thought process is super weird and could only have grown in an environment where his wealth enabled him to force everyone else around him to live in his reality bubble. And now heâs trying to do it to the whole world and is confused about why that isnât working.
The descent into hell is going fast. Nazis are organizing a rally and not a word spoken about them. Literally calling for the side opposing them to be called terrorists. 95% of the people that live around me feel the same exact way as he does. They claim they arenât racist but donât bat an eye about the nazi rallies and lose their shit about antifa daily.
The nazis have to feel very encouraged about causing any kind of disturbance today knowing cheeto will bitch about antifa with them. Absolutely insane.
tRUmpâs interest in acquiring Greenland has to involve how it would benefit Russia in some way, shape or form. Itâs not like he came up with the idea independently, my guess itâs an idea planted in his pea brain from the foreign entity that would have the most to benefit.
The Trump administration has fired another shot in its war with the US press, suspending the credentials of Brian Karem, White House correspondent for Playboy and an analyst for CNN.
The 30-day revocation was announced on Friday and echoes hugely controversial action taken against CNNâs Jim Acosta in November 2018.
Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen tried to strike a diplomatic note, saying: âMay God deliver us from this delusional maniac.â
A partial transcript of the presidentâs remarks follows:
Friends, trust me, youâre just going to love Greenland. Iâve been there, many times. I was there on 9/11, trying to stop the planes. Itâs all true, not that youâd ever read it in the failing New York Times.
[Chorus of boos]
Iâve heard the critics on the socialist left. They say $15bn, thatâs a lot of money that we could better spend sending hate mail to children in Israel. Well, I have a surprise for you. Guess how much this is going to cost the American taxpayer? The answer my friends â zero! Nothing! Nada! All costs will be paid for by tariffs on CHINESE dumplings! Itâs true, not ONE CENT!
[Cheers and chants of âNot ONE CENT!]
The Green people â such fine, wonderful upstanding people. Theyâre all eager to become Americans â not like Democrats! And the country â so clean. Reykjavik, what a city. Not like Londonstan and Stockholmbad. No crime, no rats, no dwarf Islamist mayor! And donât let that name confuse you, Greenland. The fact is, my friends, itâs not very Green. In fact, itâs white â very, very white.
[Cheers]
Whiter than white! Green is the new white!
[More cheers and chants of âGreen is the new white!â]
And what a land mass! Itâs the worldâs biggest island, my friends! I bet you didnât know that â larger than Australia and India put together! And we wonât need to build a wall there. Those waters are cold.
[Laughter and applause]
People are calling it the greatest deal in American history â maybe all of history. People are saying that only Trump could have made this deal. Maybe so, I donât know. I guess itâs true, if everyone is saying it, I mean, I suppose itâs true. All I know is the Dutch paid, what, 60 guilders for Manhattan? I could have gotten it for 30 with Staten Island thrown in.â
[Laughter and chants of MAGA! MAGA!]
And the Louisiana purchase? Napoleon fleeced Jefferson! 512 million acres for $15m? It sounds like a great deal, but I could have done better, I could have done better. Could have got Texas, too, for not another penny.
Now there is one deal I feel bad about. Alaska. Folks, I hate to say it, but we kind of stole it from the Russians. They needed our dollars back in 1867 so we got a lot of land for what â two cents on the acre. Thatâs not a deal my friends, thatâs robbery. Now you know Iâm a good guy, a great guy â [wild cheers] â and frankly that deal troubles me. It does.So today, I called my friend Vladimir Putin and said, âVlad, you can have it back. You can have Alaska back.ââ
[Cheers and chants of âNo collusion, no obstruction!â]
But Iâll tell you something. Crooked Hillary â
[chorus of boos]
â Crooked Hillary, know what she wanted to buy? Haiti! She wanted to make Haiti the 51st state in America. And then she wanted to buy Africa, too, the whole continent. So sad. And criminal.
[Chants of âLock her up!]
But does the fake news report on this? No. All they say is Trump wants Greenland for its coal. Well, I say to you tonight, âCoal is not a four-letter word!â
[Cheers and chants of âDrill, baby, drillâ]
And the fake news â they never stop. They say Trump hates the environment. Maybe they should look at my golf courses, the most beautiful courses in the world. Iâm probably the biggest environmentalist ever. What did Obama do for Greenlandâs penguins? Nothing! Iâm going to change all that. Iâm going to make sure that nothing happens to so much as one penguin in Greenland. Not one. No one loves the environment like Trump!
[Cheers and chants of âPenguins! Penguins!]
Da Fuck?

Donât think we have an education thread so this goes here
In a move that surprises no one, some asshole that use to work for Fed Loan that led the charge in fucking around with student loans was put in a top role of the CFPB.
Swamp drainage and all that. SighâŚ
