I turned on my TV, and it happened to be on the science channel, which is currently airing the apparently traditional Mythbusters marathon. The first thing I saw was a commercial for Trumpy Bear:

There's a zipper in its back that lets you access the torso stuffing: an American flag.

I thought I was having a stroke. I'm still not convinced I'm not. I've been downing margaritas all night and I can't find my pants but I'd like some confirmation that the world has reached a point where this nightmare aired on actual television.

lol it autoplays a commercial with sound. also i legitimately cannot tell if it is meant to be satire

The leading suspects at this point are Kushner and Brad Parscale, the head of Cambridge Analytica, a data-mining firm that worked closely with the campaign.
Now, Mueller is probing the same issue and interviewing RNC staffers about the finer points of the campaign’s digital operation, Yahoo News reports.

What his intransigent admirers like most about him—the thing they aspire to, in their online cosplay sessions and their desperately thirsty performances for a media they loathe and to which they are so helplessly addicted—is his freedom to be unconcerned with anything but himself. This is not because he is rich or brave or astute; it’s because he is an rear end in a top hat, and so authentically unconcerned. The howling and unreflective void at his core will keep him lonely and stupid until the moment a sufficient number of his vital organs finally resign in disgrace, but it liberates him to devote every bit of his being to his pursuit of himself.

It's still possible to live in the UK and experience shock and outrage when your government gets hundreds of your people killed through decades of criminal neglect and corruption. We have entire cities that are being slowly poisoned into permanent disability and even the people in the same state keep voting for the fuckers responsible for it. We're well beyond outrage.

It's that Trump is an enormous coward who refuses to do anything of substance, unless it strokes his ego on a personal level.

I've met the man I few times and I don't know if he's a complete idiot. He's basically Trump-lite except capable of stringing together coherent sentences. If what I've heard is true, the people feeding him info on how to do his job are probably underpaid interns and junior employees that he likes to yell at / abuse.

The first time I met the man he felt it was appropriate to describe how large his teenage daughter's breasts were, accompanied with a very classy breast honking hand gesture.

Since you can't get HIV from being peed on, and his dick is inaccessible under the fat folds, Trump has no need for this department.

It was a good combination of simple truths and swearing.

This is what annoys me so much about the latest bullshit "interview" with Trump, and journalists arguing that if they sit there quietly Trump will "reveal" things. God forbid they should challenge anything he says, or insist on specifics, or he might end the interview. As if listening to his streams of mindless bullshit accomplishes anything. They've lowered the bar so much they think they're masterminds if they can complete the interview without him leaving or taking a poo poo on the floor.

Can you imagine Clinton or Obama being treated like that?

MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT: You’re O.K. with me recording, right?

TRUMP: Yeah. Virtually every Democrat has said there is no collusion. There is no collusion. And even these committees that have been set up. If you look at what’s going on — and in fact, what it’s done is, it’s really angered the base and made the base stronger. My base is stronger than it’s ever been. Great congressmen, in particular, some of the congressmen have been unbelievable in pointing out what a witch hunt the whole thing is. So, I think it’s been proven that there is no collusion.

:pwn:

e- Good lord, this whole thing reads like a book report from a brain-damaged middle schooler.

This was the same guy that was interviewed for 60 Minutes several months ago. He talked about how he had a bunch of Google and Facebook employees acting as vendor support to better target ads, and apparently the Clinton campaign didn’t accept similar offers of help.
