What stupid shit has Trump done today?

Just gassing him might be more environmentally-friendly. Especially if we can find some kind of biodegradable gas.

Couldn't we just suffocate him with his own farts? He must make loads.
I’d like to make him eat Brussel sprouts and eggs only. But he’s encased in a latex bondage suit with only a mouth opening. I think I’ve over thought this one.
 
Thing is if you want to be really cynical he’s not going mad. He’s appealing to his base. Uneducated bigots. Proudly uneducated bigots.

Yeah, you might be on to something there, he's been talking about how Kurds and Turks have been "fighting each other for 200 years," apparently trying to draw a distinction between wars in the region and the "good guys vs bad guys" situation of World War II. Because France and Germany had such a good and uncomplicated relationship in the 200 years before D-Day...

Simple tropes innit? Good vs Bad. Good vs Evil. Them vs Us. I’ve been reading about politics, history and other stuff for like 35 years and the more i know the more ignorant I realize i am. So I’m a difficult sell for Trumpy and DeFeffel. But people who watch Fox exclusively or read the red tops or the Mail? Easy peesy.

It wasn't in that depth - it literally wasn't about good vs bad. It was about interests. It's that simple. The lweft should be able to recognise this. It should be bred in the bone.

Let’s have some real talk, because the Orange Man Bad side of the debate – the side that suddenly is all hopped up on war juice – offers nothing but hack clichés to support its amorphous position. The Kurds helped destroy ISIS, true. It’s also true that the Kurds would have fought ISIS anyway, since the psycho caliphate was right next door. Let’s be honest – the Kurds didn’t show up for us at Normandy or Inchon or Khe Sanh or Kandahar. The Syrian Kurds allied with us in their homeland because we shared a common interest in wiping out the head-lopping freak show that was ISIS. Moreover, all Kurds are not equal. The PKK – the Kurdistan Workers' Party – are a bunch of commie terrorists who have been fighting the Turks for a long time. Those reds are no friends of ours, and it’s their antics that seem to be inspiring the Turkish campaign. I have little use for the Turks, but they aren’t just picking this fight for Schiffs and giggles. The fact that it’s all so confusing is a really, really good reason for us to stay the hell out of it.

Yep, it's clearly all about the US acting in its own interests, which I think is what Ming was saying - the Normandy stuff is just a sound bite aimed at voters who might be wondering why some Republican congressmen seem to have a problem.

Ming is just a conspiracy theorist who just hates other conspiracy theorists. All they have to say is that trump is bad. Nothing political.

It wasn't a soundbite as such either - a mind bite - it was just in his mind as that was the subject and that was the days reading. It wasn't directed at any voter or section of voters. It wasn't planned. It just came out as that was the last thing that he saw before he was asked about it.
 
Two men who have represented to Congress that they are members of the President’s legal team were arrested last night ( knowing they're about to receive a House subpoena) while apparently trying to flee the country on one-way tickets, and charged in an alleged conspiracy to use foreign money to influence US politics.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump denied knowing two Ukrainian-born business partners indicted Thursday in connection with alleged schemes to funnel foreign money to U.S. political campaigns, dismissing a photograph that showed him with one of the men at the White House.

“I don’t know those gentlemen,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn on his way to a campaign rally in Minneapolis.
"I don't know them," Trump continued. "I don't know about them, I don't know what they do...Maybe they were clients of Rudy. You'd have to ask Rudy. I just don't know."

This is beautiful, probably better.

Unlike Trump's dodgy Russia deals, this one has direct evidence in the form of a witnessed phone call and lots of pictures of the bastards standing next to the orange fucker.
Giuliani looking to be on very dodgy ground is a massive bonus.
Now add the polls (Fox, at that) showing most Americans want Trump impeached, and his right wing support in the Senate might very well cave in and let him get done over.
 
Feel free to enjoy Trump lying

I Don't know them, just met them, and my lawyer met them, and my son met them, and they just illegally contributed to my campaign, and someone called Rudy just tipped them off about charges that were about to be brought, but I don't know them.

As yet unconfirmed - The pair had a sealed indictment against them and were tipped off, probably by Rudy using info from the white house.
I can see the FBI wanting a word with a dickhead lawyer about this little mess.
 
No, you fool, what he means is that today's Kurds didn't help in Normandy. FFS :rolleyes: :D

As a Brit (therefore also having some investment in Normandy), I'd honestly look at what the Kurds did in that period as "opportunism". An understanding of how Anglo/French catography and a grasp of how mischief was as significant motivator when it came to drawing lines back then...my underlying feeling is... por bastards.
