I think the issue is that "badly" is an adverb, which modifies the meaning of the verb instead of completing the predicate
i.e. the president meant to express sympathy for michael flynn, but actually said that he's qualitatively poor at the act of feeling for michael flynn

it's a small and technical lol, but it checks out

Side note while we're on the topic of English (well, it's Latin, but):
*i.e. -> e.g.
i.e. is for equating two things, e.g. is for examples.
I had a friend that'd always say he "felt badly" instead of "felt bad" and I still can't figure out if that's actually more correct.

Edit: No wait, obviously "felt badly" just means you're bad at having emotions.

Lol at listing other people's optimism as your accomplishment. "I haven't done anything, but people think I will! How could I be any more successful than that?" Only 140 characters to list off his accomplishments and that's the best he could come up with, lol.

I'll be sad if he ever resigns. I can't imagine Mike Pence will be anywhere near as big league.

In a tent deep in the woods of rural Kentucky, an old neo-Nazi spoke bitterly of how he feels “betrayed” by Donald Trump.

“I’m sorry I voted for the son of a bitch, I really am,” said Art Jones, who the Anti-Defamation League identifies as a Holocaust denier who has been dressing in Nazi garb and celebrating Hitler since the 1970s.

“I’m sorry I spent $180 out of my own pocket to buy three big banners that said, ‘President Trump, build the wall’,” the blazer-clad Jones said, to a tent full of about 100 men, some of whom wore paramilitary-style uniforms. “Now he says, ‘Eh, what wall?’ I’m embarrassed that I voted for him.”

Jones blamed Trump’s failures on the “Jewish lobby” and the president’s son-in-law and aide, Jared Kushner, who is Jewish.

“If I could take the vote back,” he said. “I would.”

You know, I wouldn't mind if the Unites States conquered the world. As long as the president was decent. A proper classical conqueror, or a true democratic leader who does it reluctantly because it's for the best, or a Dark Lord filled with mad science and ideas of robot armies to conquer the stars.

You have the perfect position for conquest. Stop wasting time on idiots like Trump. C'mon, otherwise Canada or someone will do it. To be fair, the maple leaf would look great as the symbol for the Federation of Earth.

Yes actually. White coal miners have zero memorable instances of greatness. Their job, which can be done by children, is hopelessly outclassed by every other energy job. Whole families too dumb and lazy to move anywhere you don't have to suck rocks to live. Why would we do that? We're not uppity. And now, incessant, pitiful begging every other person on the planet to HELP USSSSS but not in a way we look down on, not in the way that requires us to change anything, not in the way that doesn't let me keep doing heroin while getting blowjobs from the rest of the planet

If you have coal in your blood you deserve to die. They all know it and secretly agree, but it's not socially acceptable to diss your own race like those libtard fags of the north, which is why they just all slurp down oxys instead. It's similar to how lack of self-esteem was cultivated in black communities, haunted by violence and simultaneously the disdain of whites that they can't get their violence under control. I just don't see how it's at all acceptable that anybody is complaining that they can't find any jobs, also they can only do one job. No other jobs. Only the one I want. Also my whole family wants the same job give it now or you're being mean to poor people. Doesn't America hate pissant freeloaders like that?

I was going to say something about brown coal (lignite), but black coal is worse - at least lignite is open-cut and people don't usually get trapped inside. They want to keep their jobs. It kills them! Even the kids living on the rail lines to deliver the coal to the ports get asthma far above usual levels.

And yes, of course, any sane person would discard such a job if there was literally any other offer. Do the coal miners even know what's IN coal?!?! It's full of benzene and poo poo! So much that coal coking companies make a serious profit on benzene alone, not to mention all those other delicious carcinogenic oils that are in every speck of coal dust.

People with coal in their blood don't deserve to die. They're going to die. Statistically far sooner than the rest of us. Think about it, all those moments they could have had, that they should have had: laughing with their grandchildren, or chilling and listening to music, or just sleeping. Gone. Because of coal.

coal miners voting against their self-interest is one of the funniest aspects of republican voters.

i understand why the people making 11/hr with their crappy manufacturing jobs can get lied to about more jobs, since it's possible to still manufacture things in the US and it's even possible that jobs like that will grow (although it's still hilarious that they think wages will increase significantly; if you don't have a college education and you aren't smart enough to go into sales, management or otherwise leverage your skills within that industry, you aren't going to all of a sudden find a 30/hr job, manufacturing or otherwise) but at least it makes some sort of sense for them to vote for a candidate who says "We're going to increase american manufacturing" because while it's a lie, it's a believable one.

there is never going to be an increase for coal. ever. it's dying and will be dead in another 20 years - the only way for the ex-miners to save their families asses is with cheap college and cheap healthcare but LMFAO they consistently vote against it.

Unfortunately coal isn't dead anytime soon. As a fuel, yeah. But there are a stupid amount of peripheral industries that depend on coal or its byproducts or its off-gasses. Steel making alone requires a huge amount of coal coke. It's dying, sure, but unless we get fusion working and we give it to everyone, AND we get a set of decent cheap electrodes for iron electrolysis, coal will stay with us for a while longer. Unless you want to switch back to charcoal, but then in a year every last tree in the world will be cut down.

But we already regressed a hundred years politically by electing Trump and his cabinet of Captain planet villains

quote:

A SENIOR OFFICIAL on President Trump’s embattled National Security Council warned in previously unreported comments that it is “inevitable” an Islamic terrorist group will carry out a successful nuclear attack against the United States, and that in its aftermath, the world “will regress hundreds of years politically.” The official, Michael Anton, laid out a dire scenario of multiple nuclear detonations on American soil, saying that terrorists “will, I think, wait until they can hit us with several blows at once, followed by a number of follow-on blows.

How can you not quote the best part of the article

quote:

Anton, who previously served in a mid-level position on the NSC in the Bush era, published a string of attention-getting essays last year that attempted to make a conservative intellectual argument for supporting Donald Trump’s candidacy. Those essays, while provocative, do not seem to be nearly as controversial or apocalyptic as the comments The Intercept unearthed after receiving a tip from a reader. The comments were made on an obscure website devoted to men’s fashion, Styleforum.net, which also hosts wide-ranging discussions among its members on a variety of political topics. Anton, who previously wrote a book titled “The Suit: A Machiavellian Approach to Men’s Style,” posted on Styleforum.net under the username “Manton,” and his user profile listed his usual shoe width as D medium. He was exceptionally prolific: Since joining the site in 2002, he has posted more than 40,000 comments.

further lols:

Update: Feb. 17, 2017

After this story was published, Styleforum changed the settings on its Current Events forum so that only Styleforum members can view the postings on it. As a result, some of the links in this story no longer work, such as the ones to Michael Anton’s comments on nuclear terrorism, Islam, and diversity. According to Fokyan Leung, who said he is a co-owner of Styleforum, about a dozen Styleforum members contacted him after the story appeared and requested that the Current Events forum be closed to the public.
