That does suggest a really interesting way to attack him. Putting my mathematics hat on, urm, what if we took all the tweets / news he basically responds to like he's having a heart attack, and train a RNN bot to just post that at him on twitter. If I didn't have so much work to do today I'd be right on that. He can't not pay attention.

There you go, I believe I've described how to entirely legally decapitate the executive.

I think it's pretty accurate if you think about this in reverse. Not a markov bot simulating Trump but Trump becoming a markov bot. How many times and from how many sources have we heard people say the exact same thing, Trump thinks whatever the last person said to him in a conversation? He's basically a walking pile of id and stimuli response.

It's simple whataboutism. Oh NFL players are protesting me? Well, what about the brave soldiers that died for the flag? Oh, my disaster response is garbage? Well, what about the brave first responders that they're criticizing?

It isn't true, of course, but what has been true?

Give it a couple of weeks. There's bugger all footage to nail the government with because blatantly, everything has been knocked over / destroyed. This poo poo will come back to haunt him, unfortunately it'll take a shitload of people in PR being hosed and dying to do it.

Trump is the inevitable end game of a process that started well over a decade ago. If you think of America as a five gallon of hooch in a shed, the Trump presidency is the burp of gas released by the class and race tension fermentation process. If it hadn't been him now it would have been someone else down the road.

Now whether America spills over or matures into decent hooch, that's going to depend on what happens after 2020 and that's going to be the really interesting part. This is just the "what the gently caress" prelude to actual History.

I'm scared. Maybe I should convert all my assets to gold, guns and a big sailboat.

Well it's a good thing we don't have an already blatantly bought and sold supreme court seat taking speaking fees from the people he is going to make a ruling on shortly, an executive branch where "barely functioning" would be an upgrade from "being purposefully obstructed and broken in every ideological way possible" or a government absolutely determined to not learn the lessons of, and ferociously attacking the people trying to expose, an election that was manipulated by external forces with the specific end goal of the destruction of national unity.

Cause all that stuff would really suck going into 2020 if it were to happen.

Trump is now going down the line of every drat elected official in Puerto Rico saying "hey I called this person and he said I'm doing a GREAT job, thanks!"

As I wrote that, he's now telling Puerto Rico not to believe the fake news.
