Just a quick rundown for the #magats:
Trumps actions are:
- letting North Korea go wild.
- letting Iran go wild.
- ISIS is regrouping.
- taliban is taking over Afghanistan.
- Saudi Arabia is murdering Yemen.
- Israel is scooping up more land.
- Russia is upping a new arms race
2/ stock market is tanking, while wages never moved, while interest rates are low, while big corps spent cash buying their own stock, while we have to pay more for the cheap shit we import from China.
- EPA protecting you is dead.
- scientists all over gov are being kicked out
3/ as of today, we can not handle two epidemics simultaneously.
As of today, we can not handle two full wars.
That is just the past month.
WTF KIND OF WINNING IS THIS?
Maybe he is doing all of this to distract you from the GUNS BECAUSE WAYNE LAPIERRE CALLED!
And finally before i pass the fuck out:
DEAR MEDIA,
Stop calling them “China tariffs”. That makes the audience detach from the problem.
They are imposed price increases on American consumers buying product from China

To sum up Flawrida’s new history of slavery spin:
Slavery in the US was a successful voluntary foreign employment, training and personal skills empowerment program.
People across the Atlantic abandoned family and clothes and jumped on ships for a piece of the new American dream.
2/ these volunteers hid deep in hot rat infested tight spaces inside merchant ships & even chained themselves to each other and to the ship’s beams in a form of a modern sit in protest to remain on the ship and not be asked to disembark.
3/ these foreign African workers, determined to live the American dream, overcome with joy and enthusiasm, didn’t even care about food while crossing the Atlantic. They all said: we will grow our own food and cotton when we get to the promised land. Hell we ll even do it for free
If Twitter ends tomorrow or this week, this is my most cherished memory of being in this hellhole.
The Internet Raised $1K to Send Taco Truck, Mariachi Band to Racist NYC Attorney - VICE vice.com/en/article/qvn…
My third favorite twitter event, when I assumed I was crazy when trump started talking about the traffickers and the border and I realized he was basically repeating what he saw in a movie, then, maddow confirmed it a few days later
I remember when former presidents left after a peaceful transfer of power, didn’t take boxes of classified material, didn’t get raided by the FBI but rather got together, roasted each other and raised money for humanitarian causes.
Watch this, then think : Trump.
It is insane
To be fair, this was trumps participation at the event to raise money for hurricane relief
Even when dubya, the guy who started an endless bloody war, black site waterboarding, the patriot act….was likable in these moments when he made sense and inadvertently predicted trump. Listen.
