I HATE HIM SO MUCH

 

[Officerrob]

I have no idea what he just said about FEMA

finland is in the FUCKING EU

 

[aspiegamer]

Yup, he's going to randomly decide one evening we're leaving NAFTA.

 

[lush]

Wall related government shutdown is still on the table.

 

[TheSun]

Blustering old fool.

He's clueless and an idiot.

related: I like how more conservatives are talking like trump. They don't realize he sounds like a fool.

 

[whyamihere]

Great One America News... State Media.

They're actually giving him tough questions.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Great One America News... State Media.

Even they were giving him shit at the end of it though.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Did i just hear ratings?

Trump literally just said he pardoned Arpaio during the hurricane for maximum ratings.

When sarcastic tweets are actually true.

I'm partial to the "jealous a hurricane is grabbing the headlines" theory.

So my school's College Republicans club is close to finalizing a deal to bring Milo over for a speaking engagement. :/

So is it safe to say Republicans are no longer about being fiscally conservative? The younger generation of Republicans seem to have their focus elsewhere.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Trump says he pardoned Arpaio as Harvey hit Texas because "I assumed the ratings would be far higher than they would be normally."

 

[BlastProcessing]

@dataeditor
If you want to defend your pardon, maybe don't cite what you consider bad pardons from previous administrations as direct comparisons.

 

[RumbleHumble]

This is the dumbest fucking bullshit I've ever read.

Seriously...

 

[studyguy]

'You need The Wall for drugs' was my cousin's recommendation too.

North Korea shot another missile.

This fucker actually said that. Just when I think I've reached the limits of my disgust with Trump, he finds a way to raise the bar

Anybody who is currently young and a Republican is a straight up Nazi, seriously.

All y'all with hot takes on how Trump is handling Harvey well, please stand up to be shamed

I like how fiscally conservative isn't even in the republican wheelhouse of concerns at the moment when they're discussed.

People in northern #Japan should take precautions against a possible #DPRK missile strike, Japanese government warns. https://t.co/Rgi3QAaZEM

Just slightly worrisome.

 

[Apharmd]

Oh no. What the fuck is happening now with NK and Japan.

 

[Kusagari]

If you're a young conservative at this point you're with a white supremacist or literally only care about trolling above any kind of actual policy.

 

[avaya]

Why are people getting upset about a NK missile strike? Do you seriously believe it will happen?

They are batshit but China isn't going to allow anything to happen. It's like people are not paying attention anymore.

I think the YouTube and clickbait culture of today's youth is going to make everything worse in the future.

Who's more worried by this. Liberals or establishment GOP?

Because someday, eventually, something will happen. Plenty of conflicts have started because stupid people eventually did stupid things.

Idk, if I was in japan I'd probably be worried about missiles flying anywhere around me. Seems reasonable enough if your country's government is literally issuing warnings.

Japan sure does

Just got another warning.

Also defense batteries are outside.

At least he's honest on this one. I knew that's exactly what the fuck he was doing. He could have pardoned at any time, like waiting at least a couple weeks after Harvey.

Wall related government shutdown is still on the table.

The Democrats should provide enough funding to complete the minimum 700 miles of fencing from the Secure Fence Act of 2006 since its already established law. There's something like 50 miles of fence left to construct so it shouldn't require enormous amounts of spending and in the process they should extract a DACA agreement and continuing payments on Obamacare CSR's. Trump will be giddy he got his border wall money even its for minimal spending that's tied to a 2006 bill that's already on the books.

Hitting something that actually matters is actually kind of difficult...

Like a populated area?

 

[GTI Guy]

A friend said to me that the missile flew over Hokkaido and left Japan airspace. Sounds like things are OK.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Is Cruz telling the truth when he said the Sandy relief bill was was only 1/3rd about sandy relief?

 

[Resident_UA]

Like a populated area?

Even that. There's a lot of water around and North Korea doesn't seem to know what they are doing. I guess I would feel differently if I was in Japan though (even small chance is scary)

 

[tbm24]

Sounds like things are NOT OK actually. What if next time the missle fails mid air?

 

[GTI Guy]

Well I'm talking about this specific missile. Of course things are NOT OK we've got Trump in the whitehouse!

Last is most important btw. They've been doing drills for a bit now in the area.

 

[Diablos]

Unidentified missile. Yeesh

 

[Random Human]

I think Trump's ratings comment about the pardon during the hurricane actually make it seem worse than if it had just been to hide bad news. What a bad person.

 

[talisayNon]

Heh Northram just passed by my desk. I wanted to take a picture but didn't want to be creepy. He has some sort of event here in Reston

 

[aspiegamer]

Sending a missile over actual allied territory would be another significant escalation.

I cannot blame NK for trying to take advantage of Trump as much as possible, to be honest. They probably sit around and giggle at their good fortune this year. Bannon's (completely 100% accurate) confession of the leverage they hold was big.

 

[Diablos]

Moments like this make me wonder if we're going to remain as a superpower even 20 years from now

Crazy commie dictators and sound leaders alike see the US for what it is ever since Trump won

We're so bare and vulnerable right now. It's terrifying

[balladofwindfishes]

Did he become president today?

 

[aspiegamer]

I dont see what NK is getting out of this.

They get to test missiles and improve their nuclear deterrence with zero American leadership to hold them back. That's a pretty big thing.

Trump's stupidity is gonna get them a seat at the big kid table with no major human rights reforms.
