I think they mean something more akin to "bork", where the infamy/shame is everlasting to the point of being detached from the original context for future generations.

Yeah i realized I said a server was "borked" not long ago and then it occurred to me what the origin of that was.

Trump deserves no less.

Had a post Christmas get together with brother in laws family. They earnestly believe MAGA poo poo and one of their middle school kids blurted out that if Hillary was elected, NK would have nuked us.

Father in law talked about how he heard on the radio that Michelle Obama was a hermaphrodite.

Does anyone have a good primer on the Turkey/Syria situations? I don't understand enough of it to explain it to others.

It's a pretty unique situation where in order for his name to mean something historically it will have to outperform a long-established, preexisting meaning of the regular word.

To "trump" will no longer mean "to outrank or outperform", but "to bluff really ineptly".

Card games will be unrecognizable 50 years from now

I was thinking "trump" could also be a verb, meaning to really gently caress something up.

Here's not a well written article, but a bulleted list, from AlJazeera: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/05/syria-civil-war-explained-160505084119966.html (Syria specific.)

It's dated from April '18, but still factual.

Turkey doesn't like Kurds. Kurds don't like Turkey. There are lots of Kurds on the Syrian side of the Turkey/Syria border and they target Turkey checkpoints and police with bombs. But don't feel sorry for the Turks since they've committed literal genocide and refuse to own up to it.

Turkey wants to get at those Kurds who keep bombing them, but they're way over in Syria. Now if only they had an excuse to invade Syria. Enter ISIS...

I think it basically means Twitter has (once again) made it more difficult to write code that interacts with tweets, so while the Press Sec bot won't necessarily stop working any time soon, it's going to be hard to update it to keep up with whatever other changes might happen around it.

It would, presumably, be refusing to process anyone attempting to cross at the border crossings and just turning them back to Mexico/Canada. I don't think the US has ever actually done that, so actually trying to work out what to do would be a pretty challenging experiment. Also, the only people showing up at actual border crossings are the people who have legitimate entry documents or are attempting to surrender to immigration officials to make legal claims to asylum/refugee status, anyone who is actually trying to 'sneak in' to the US would be trying to cross at some unmanned point without inspection anyway, so all it would really do would completely gently caress all the people following the rules and nothing to the flow of people avoiding proper entry. I guess it would also stop people being smuggled at legitimate crossings but I don't know how large a pool that is.

It's to prevent people from applying for asylum since you need to be on US soil or at a border crossing to do that. If the border crossings are all shut, there's no asylum since he put out the EO denying it to anyone entering illegally.
