'Trump Mocks CNN Typo in Tweet Strewn With Mistakes
The president’s post shows he may not know what a hyphen is, or how to spell "describing."

[...] 'To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle’, not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle’ Adam Schiff," the president wrote. "Low ratings CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!" Trump appears to have confused a hyphen with an apostrophe. And, even if he had correctly identified it, it’s unclear why an apostrophe would be needed there. Oh, and he misspelled "describing." And "never-ending" has a hyphen, and "low-ratings" could use one in that context, too. And "liddle" isn’t really a word. But at least the president is keeping himself busy.'

Trump appears to think that Liddle' is like Lyin'... apparently not understanding that the ' takes the place of a missing letter, as in isn't.

'Trump mulled over ideas like fortifying the border wall with a “water-filled trench” with “snakes or alligators” inside, prompting aides to seek a cost estimate for the idea. The president also is said to have suggested making the wall electrified, and installing spikes capable of piercing human flesh. Aides reportedly had to inform Trump that shooting migrants in the legs or shooting them when they threw rocks was not allowed. The newspaper also chronicled the chaos that ensued when Trump reportedly wanted to shut down the border completely in March. “I want it done at noon tomorrow,” he reportedly told aides, sparking a “near panic.”'

'President Trump also told aides last year that he wanted U.S. border forces to be armed with bayonets to block people from crossing the border from Mexico, [...] a “human wall” of U.S. forces to prevent migrants from setting foot on American soil, where they would be eligible for legal protections.'

'LaRouche PAC, a far-right group that supports Donald Trump, has taken credit for trolling Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during a town hall meeting yesterday. [...] Viral video from the incident shows a woman posing as a supporter of AOC and wearing a shirt that reads, "Save the Planet, Eat the Children." Many people clearly thought she was mentally disturbedbut LaRouche PAC, a fringe organization that believes climate change is a hoax, was behind the stuntaccording to the group’s Twitter account.

[...]

"I'm so happy that you are really supporting a Green New Deal, but it's not enough," the woman told Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez as others in the room looked on in confusion. "Even if we were to bomb Russia, we still have too many people, too much pollution. So we have to get rid of the babies. That's a big problem. Just stopping having babies is not enough. We need to eat the babies."

[...] President Donald Trump got into the fray last night, tweeting “AOC is a Wack Job!” in response to the viral video.

[...] LaRouche, who was perhaps best known for his antisemitic conspiracy theories, died this past February. LaRouche claimed that Jews were actually funding the KKK and said that the Queen of England wanted to have him killed.'

Yikes. Imagine failing that hard at a prank and then still taking credit for it.

''Today in Conservative Media: The Democrats Are Committing "Regicide"


[...] Fox News[...] guest Joseph diGenova described the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump as "regicide." DiGenova, who was briefly supposed to be joining Donald Trump’s legal team last spring, went on to call the two whistleblowers who have come forward so far "suicide bombers that the Democrats have unleashed on the Democratic process." [...] calls Adam Schiff "bug-eyed," and describes Nancy Pelosi as "trying to keep her dentures in."''

'A day after a Texas sheriff caused an uproar by referring to undocumented immigrants as “drunks,” his son was reportedly arrested on charges of public intoxication and indecent exposure. [...] “These drunks will run over your children, and they will run over my children,” he said, according to the Dallas Morning News.'

'A video depicting a macabre scene of a fake President Trump shooting, stabbing and brutally assaulting members of the news media and his political opponents was shown at a conference for his supporters at his Miami resort last week, according to footage obtained by The New York Times.

Several of Mr. Trump’s top surrogates — including his son Donald Trump Jr., his former spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis — were scheduled to speak at the three-day conference, which was held by a pro-Trump group, American Priority, at Trump National Doral Miami.'

Here's the video.



In the words of Taylor Swift. CTFD people.


We're living in wacky, wonderful, confusing, bizarre, disgusting times. In other words, life. So just roll with it and laugh.

[Aptorian]

You think we should laugh and roll with it when a president retweets videos of him m killing his political opponents and the media?

Yeah, no.

[Malankazooie]

You have to laugh, I do anyway, at how absurd and stupid shit has become. Laughter - a perfectly acceptable coping response for the current state of things.

Anyway, some more topical funnies.

'Trump Says The Kurds Are "No Angels" as They Face Turkish Onslaught

"Syria and Turkey can fight… They've got a lot of sand over there… There's a lot of sand that they can play with," the President said.

"If Turkey goes into Syria it is between Turkey and Syria. It's not our problem," he said.

[... Trump] referred to the situation on the Turkey-Syria border as "strategically brilliant" for the U.S.'

'"We were making hundreds of thousands" of variations on similar ads, Mr. Parscale told "60 Minutes" last year. "Changing language, words, colors."

The idea, he said, was to find "what is it that makes it go, 'Poof!'

[...] the zero-touch technique allows the campaign to move fast — it was able to start selling T-shirts that say “get over it” a day after the president’s acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, told reporters to do just than when it came to Ukraine.'
