    He hasn't just "informed" me. 

    He hasn't just "strongly informed" me, whatever the fuck that means. 

    He has "very strongly informed" me, whatever the very fuck that means. 

    Turkey was right next door, and Erdogan was such a strong persuader.  Trump was just another notch on his guitar.  

    It means the president responds to power the way he wants us to respond to his.  

    Rather than trust intellect, reason and experts we should just give bonus points to the veracity with which a conflicted individual delivers a self-serving message.

    Do I need to explain that everybody does it so they don't enforce it? 

    Here's a nonpolitical example. Since I wasn't referring to political stuff exclusively.

    I thought Bono was legit because of his HIV stuff. But his ONE foundation donated just over 1% in programs and services. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1314543/Bonos-ONE-foundation-giving-tiny-percentage-funds-charity.html

    They're all frauds. But I repeat myself.

    Got it. Innocent by association.

    The DOW is crashing again.

    I think the Trump presidency is over.

    I should start a hedge fund that literally aims to capitalize on the opposite of whatever he brags about.  "I'm the reason 401ks are great" = short the stock market.  "Gas prices are low" = time to buy oil.  "You'll have great healthcare" = time to buy puts or write calls on the hospital systems and payers.  

    I'm sure there are creative ways to bet against a lack of airplane crashes or great treatment for asylum seekers but I'm not that immoral.  Plenty of easy pickings on his more run of the mill hyperbolic bullshit.

    Yeah, but how you gonna do the rocking motion with no handle?  I think that was the secret...moving that hot oil back and forth under the meat, which you'd absolutely need the handle for.

    Also, I might be misremembering here (happens a lot), but I don't think @brown water uses cast iron.  In fact, for some reason I think he just uses some cheap thing he bought at like TJ Max or something.  I'm sure he'll check back in sometime in the next few weeks and set us all straight.

    EDIT:  Just went back through my Amazon orders and I think it was this one, which is cast iron...

    I think I ordered it per Brown Water's recommendation and then when I got it I felt like it was tiny and wouldn't really work for me so I think I sent it back.  But according to my orer history, it was back in January 2015 so I don't really know.  The fact that I even remember some of the info is a freaking miracle.

    Checking in right on schedule to say Lando is 100% correct.

    He's gonna go ahead and twitter and whatnot and talk himself out of the possible defense that he didn't know it was a crime.  Also, smocking:

     

     

     

     

    I actually believe this one. Because where there’s smock there’s fur.  

    And that doesn’t seem to be his type.

    So at what point does the “you can’t indict a sitting president” talk go out the window?

    Trump believes it. And likely that it means while in a seated position. Its probably  why he spends 2 hours each morning tweeting from the shitter, takes a motorcade for 200 yard trips and drives his golf cart on the green.

    I don't know why I find it fascinating but I almost always check how much time passes between his "to be continued" tweets.  

    We know that no time is spent proofreading or contemplating whether or not to send.  So it takes him 10 - 15 minutes to type a few characters.  

    I find the visual of a frantic paranoid old whose mind is spinning out of control, while his only outlet is feebly pecking away at his phone with his right index finger, to be amusing.

    Oh to be a mindreader sitting behind that row.

    Michelle should have gotten out a small bottle of hand sanitizer after the shake. 

    Surprised he could walk it.  Expected a golf cart or scooter for such a long haul.

    Is it a decorum criticism if I think it's fucked that trump couldn't muster more than a literal minute of contact with the Bush's and pretty much just shook their hands then left? 

    Wow. Such solemn. Very respectful. 

    Sad the one thing nearly all seem to agree. - the less we ask of him to convey basic human sentiments the better.
