I just want to point out that Donald Trump just awarded the presidential medal of freedom to Babe Ruth, Elvis, some NFL players, and the wife of one of his biggest campaign donors. Just thought everyone would like to get their daily dose of insanity in. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/16/us/politics/presidential-medal-freedom-adelson.html

I decided to look into other awardees, and Obama gave it to the Gates' also ostensibly for philanthropy, and Clinton gave it to this guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Lang Lots of other interesting choices. I hate to say it but it may already kind of have been a joke.

Babe Ruth and Elvis Presley are somehow so loving Trump. Like, he has no taste of his own, or interests beyond himself and his wallet, so he just picked two names he remembered. It just shows a lack of effort.

RIP Nelson, RIP Gillum, RIP protecting sexual assault victims I made my weekly donation to RAINN, I'm gonna just go away somewhere for a week and turn off my phone. Hopefully by the time I get back, AOC will be House Speaker and Auntie Maxine will be reading 45's tax returns out loud on C-SPAN or something.

Trump news feels like a livestream from inside a home for people with alzheimers, especially the last month, which has dialed that feeling up to 12.

luxury handset posted:i remember in months past when goons would argue about whether or not trump has dementia and if that can even be meaningfully determined or diagnosed The last few weeks it's like 'grandpa rants about illegals (again)' 'grandpa makes inappropriate comments towards a judge's widow' 'grandpa is paranoid again that his caretakers are plotting something against him' 'grandpa is posting semi-coherent angry poo poo online (again)' 'grandpa is ranting about some poo poo on fox news to anyone who will listen.' Plus all the weird telling really obvious lies and grinning like a child. It's just so weird, it reminds me of the classic dysfunctional family poo poo where people are trying to pretend that everything is normal and nothing is wrong with all this ridiculous evidence to the contrary right in their faces. Really I'm just waiting for a scammer to call up Trump and pretend he's a bank of america employee and he needs Trump to just verify who he is

so Matt Whitaker has a huge conflict of interest because he has close political ties with a key grand jury witness, and person with serious liability in the MUeller probe, Sam Clovis wisely, Sam Clovis then goes on a podcast and brags about what a good relationship he has with Whitaker and how he'll "also not let [the Mueller probe] get out of out of control" https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1063544324456161280

eke out posted:this is quite the brief this is probably the more appropriate thread to post this in, on second thought. A really significant brief that nicely outlines all the core arguments against Whitaker and is packaged in a way that the Supreme Court could be hearing arguments in 4-6 weeks instead of a year from now.

xrunner posted:Obama gave it to the Gates' also ostensibly for philanthropy, While I'll concede that it's possible it was because of donations, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is the largest charitable organization in the world and around that time they had been involved in some very high profile projects, so that one isn't really crazy.

When I used to work at a bookstore, the MO usually involved buying a stack of general interest magazines with a porn slipped in and thinking I, or the other cashiers, wouldn't notice that they liked Juggs alongside their Atlantic and National Geographic. Or they just took them into the men's room, had their fun, and left without buying anything
