Brains blown out doesn't mean assassinated. Brains blown out means having your brains blown out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think it's not as dark a day as a president saying something stupid if they only get shot multiple times in the chest?

banana Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I'm taking bets on how long until the eighty-fifth and next Outrage Flip takes to go from "Trump is colluding with Russia! Treason!" to "Trump is taking the world towards nuclear war with Russia! Madman!" Absolutely stunning meltdowns and blanket deranged propaganda over a leadership summit Edited July 17, 2018 by banana 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 In things done by US Presidents as opposed to things done to US Presidents, can we agree that this is a shocking act? Or are there folk on here trying to defend Trump’s actions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Quote Statement on Russia July 16, 2018|Speaker Ryan Press Office WASHINGTON—House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) today issued the following statement: "There is no question that Russia interfered in our election and continues attempts to undermine democracy here and around the world. That is not just the finding of the American intelligence community but also the House Committee on Intelligence. The president must appreciate that Russia is not our ally. There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia, which remains hostile to our most basic values and ideals. The United States must be focused on holding Russia accountable and putting an end to its vile attacks on democracy." https://www.speaker.gov/press-release/statement-russia Edited July 17, 2018 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter anyway really This is hilarious, I'm just pointing out only two have had their brains blown out and I added tbf because I was just being pedantic. I would also agree with GD that the reference was probably to things done by (rather than to) US Presidents but in the interest of perspective certain presidents have extended the use of slavery, resegregated the federal government and sabotaged peace talks in Vietnam in case they would help their opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Absolutely beautiful non-sequiter sleight of hand by the presenter to set up the lunatic lady's parallels with Watergate, 9/11, and Pearl fucking Harbour #trump2020 Edited July 17, 2018 by banana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people like Ryan should learn their own history before spouting off about their values and democracy. The USA has been the biggest enemy of democracy in human history by far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It' be an interesting footrace, but I think it'd be pretty close between the two, once you consider the whole of Eastern Europe and the various communist dictators in Africa and South East Asia on the back of Russian support vs. the basically total fascist states the US propped up or brought to power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have no idea how to embed Tweets, but this is from Trump: As I said today and many times before, “I have GREAT confidence in MY intelligence people.” However, I also recognize that in order to build a brighter future, we cannot exclusively focus on the past – as the world’s two largest nuclear powers, we must get along! #HELSINKI2018 Ignoring the egotistical capitalisation of 'my'; the US intelligence services are saying very clearly that this is ongoing, so it is not just focusing on the past. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1018943446583668736 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 In fairness, you could blow the back of Trump's skull out and it probably wouldn't slow him down much. Would just need a bit of extra hair product to cover the wound...Some people are saying this is the greatest head shot any president’s ever received**phrasing definitely intended 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I think it’s a good idea for people to introduce accusations of treason and being a traitor to the discourse. That definitely won’t backfire in the way that fake news became Trump’s catchphrase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If Mueller eventually comes up with the goods, then yesterday will be remembered by a lot of Americans as one of, or the worst things their President has done. At the moment it's probably not even in the top 20. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
