I pity the day in the future where a president looks at this list, and says "hold my beer".     That will be the ultimate Trump legacy.

Sometimes it’s worth stepping back to look at the full picture.

He has pressured a foreign leader to interfere in the 2020 American presidential election.

He urged a foreign country to intervene in the 2016 presidential election.

He encourages foreign leaders to enrich him and his family by staying at his hotels.

He genuflects to murderous dictators.

He has alienated America’s closest allies.

He lied to the American people about his company’s business dealings in Russia.

He tells new lies virtually every week — about the economy, voter fraud, even the weather.

He spends hours on end watching television and days on end staying at resorts.

He often declines to read briefing books or perform other basic functions of a president’s job.

He has aides, as well as members of his own party in Congress, who mock him behind his back as unfit for office.

He has repeatedly denigrated a deceased United States senator who was a war hero.

He insulted a Gold Star family — the survivors of American troops killed in action.

He described a former first lady, not long after she died, as “nasty.”

He described white supremacists as “some very fine people.”

He told four women of color, all citizens and members of Congress, to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came.”

He made a joke about Pocahontas during a ceremony honoring Native American World War II veterans.

He launched his political career by falsely claiming that the first black president was not really American.

He launched his presidential campaign by describing Mexicans as “rapists.”

He has described women, variously, as “a dog,” “a pig” and “horseface,” as well as “bleeding badly from a facelift” and having “blood coming out of her wherever.”

He has been accused of sexual assault or misconduct by multiple women.

He enthusiastically campaigned for a Senate candidate who was accused of molesting multiple teenage girls.

He waved around his arms, while giving a speech, to ridicule a physically disabled person.

He has encouraged his supporters to commit violence against his political opponents.

He has called for his opponents and critics to be investigated and jailed.

He uses a phrase popular with dictators — “the enemy of the people” — to describe journalists.

He attempts to undermine any independent source of information that he does not like, including judges, scientists, journalists, election officials, the F.B.I., the C.I.A., the Congressional Budget Office and the National Weather Service.

He has tried to harass the chairman of the Federal Reserve into lowering interest rates.

He said that a judge could not be objective because of his Mexican heritage.

He obstructed justice by trying to influence an investigation into his presidential campaign.

He violated federal law by directing his lawyer to pay $280,000 in hush money to cover up two apparent extramarital affairs.

He made his fortune partly through wide-scale financial fraud.

He has refused to release his tax returns.

He falsely accused his predecessor of wiretapping him.

He claimed that federal law-enforcement agents and prosecutors regularly fabricated evidence, thereby damaging the credibility of criminal investigations across the country.

He has ordered children to be physically separated from their parents.

He has suggested that America is no different from or better than Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

He has called America a “hellhole.”

He is the president of the United States, and he is a threat to virtually everything that the United States should stand for

I like it.  The only question is whether the preferred chant at the Weld rallies going forward will be "String him up!" or "Light him up!"

The most notable thing about this is how much more could be added.

It's merely hobby at this point, but try to dissect this word salad:

Quote

“The conversation I had was largely congratulatory, was largely corruption, all of the corruption taking place, was largely the fact that we don’t want our people, like Vice President Biden and his son, creating to the corruption already in the Ukraine,” Trump told reporters Sunday morning. 

First, if a conversation can be described as being "largely" about a specific topic, it can't also be "largely" about two other topics, inasmuch as "largely" conveys the implication of (at the very least) "more than half":

-- congratulations

-- corruption

-- US citizens involved in foreign corruption

 

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume #2 and #3 are related.  

 

NEXT, we attempt to suss out "creating to the corruption" and those of us with at least a GED break down in a quivering mass of hysterical laughter coupled with tears of anguish for the future of our country.

It's not going to happen, but someone in the US press needs to ask Trump which of the following Nobel prizes he feels he should win:

-- Peace

-- Economics

-- Physics

-- Chemistry

-- Physiology/Medicine

-- Literature

 

Obviously, he is wholly unqualified for all but one, which tends to be a bit more ceremonial in nature.  Let's hear it, Donald.  In addition to the Peace Prize, are you also qualified in Economics? 

I want to see him claim expertise in Physics or maybe Literature.  Come on, media, ASK HIM.

Medicine. Because he discovered that windmills cause cancer and he's going to cure cancer.

No matter how low your opinion may be of President Trump, he’ll always find a way to lower it. On Wednesday, he outdid himself, breaking even the laws of physics by reaching new depths in two places at once.

Trump used hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars to extort a newly elected president of a nation in conflict with Putin to influence our next election.

This should be this administration's CJK5H.  When you enter "President Trump" into Google, this should be what is spit out.

It's great that our fucking president is promoting the Deep State conspiracy theory bullshit.  

Trump still existing as President is definitive proof that no deep state exists.  Its a fucking shadow puppet to scare and motivate the dull and dimwitted.

I’ve said it a hundred times.  Why do people laugh off the suggestion to hang his Fatass as a joke?

Space force first task can be calculating how to hang 425lbs and ensure a clean cervical break.  Wouldn’t want anything inhumane even though he deserves it.

Translation: Why did that uppity black man get one and I can't?  So unfair!  

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/23/trump-nobel-peace-prize-1508484

 

Quote

President Donald Trump on Monday revived his beef with the selection committee that awards the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming that the process is rigged against him.

Speaking to reporters before a bilateral meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, Trump asserted that “I would get a Nobel prize for a lot of things, if they give it out fairly, which they don't.”

 

Quote

Trump then offered up former President Barack Obama as an example of the prize being unfairly awarded.

“They gave one to Obama immediately upon his ascent to the presidency and he had no idea why he got it,” Trump said, joking: “You know what? That was the only thing I agreed with him on.”

Obama received the famed award in 2009, less than nine months into his term in the White House for what the Nobel Committee said were “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy” and his calls for nuclear nonproliferation. The honor drew confusion at the time from some in the international community who questioned what he could have done so soon in his presidency to merit such an achievement, especially with wars in the Middle East still raging. Even some in the White House expressed surprise at the win.

 

Oh, and Trump was never gonna ask for one:

 

Quote

In February of this year, Trump announced that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to broker peace between North and South Korea. Prior to that, South Korean President Moon Jae-in reportedly said last April that Trump deserved the Nobel Prize for his work to denuclearize the Korean peninsula, remarks Trump called “very generous” at the time.

Asked during a Cabinet meeting at the time whether he thought he deserved the honor, Trump told reporters: “Everyone thinks so, but I would never say it."

Quote

 In Washington, a 410-pound convicted killer is fighting his execution on constitutional grounds. He claims that, if he is hanged, his head will be completely torn from his body, which would amount to "cruel and unusual punishment." Now, having your head completely torn from your body is cruel, I'll grant you, but is it really that unusual? (9/24/94)
