Jonathan Chait's essay in The Atlantic, "The Reflecting Pool's Water's Fine," is a very fun ,quick read. For those who don't have a subscription or the time, this sums it up:
Never in my life have I rooted so hard for algae. In fact, I’ve never rooted for algae at all. Yet the sight of those tiny green organisms floating in the Reflecting Pool, absorbing sunlight, multiplying their little hearts out and living their best (presumably very short) lives, fills me with joy.
...
The Reflecting Pool episode captures most of Trump’s governing pathologies (corruption, incompetence, authoritarian menace, absurd lies) without any of the normal attendant consequences. It is pure, meaningless fun.Comment

Haha. Yes. I feel exactly the same way. This whole episode has been hilarious."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I thought Trump cancelled this event due to everyone backing out. Who is going to go to this dumb concert? Also, I am guessing (no proof) that much of the proceeds will somehow be funneled to Trump or his kids through some brand new entity that won a no-bid contract.Originally posted by Maximus View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different.

You can tell Trump was proud of himself throwing the 'valley of death' bone to the faith and freedom folks today.
It is amazing how someone as phony and anti-christian as Trump converted the religious right so fully. Also, very weird to clap after each person getting killed."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Not sure why this was even a topic of conversation. I see no need to chat about the assignations of these guys but are we really going to act like these guys were foreign leaders and not enemy of the state and world? I mean, Soleimani was a very bad dude. We are talking about a guy who was involved with the killing of Americans and inserting Iran’s power in various countries like Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post
Weird. Yes.. But let’s not humanize these evil people.. This is not just about power. This is about taking a guy off the board who was a terrorist. The gnashing of teeth on this is just as weird as Trump talking about it..Comment

Absolutely no one serious is trying to make these people more sympathetic. But what is very unseemly is an American president gloating about the number of kills ‘he’ has racked up.Originally posted by dabrockster View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Don't humanize these humans? Are you serious these days, or is this some kind of level 1 troll operation you are trying initiate?Originally posted by dabrockster View Post
Also, how can you criticize Trump for talking about all the people he's killed and then in the next breath defend him for those killings?Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

You may not be but Frank is a different story. Dude speaks about the power hungry and bloodlust of the GOP.. He takes every opportunity to continue to paint this portrait. His own bloodlust to demonize the GOP is in itself just as weird..Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post
