The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 2368 - Politics and Economics

I was taught to use periods in abbreviations only if the last letter of the abbreviation is different from the last letter of the full word: Rev. for Reverend but Dr for Doctor. Don't have a strong opinion either way, both seem fine. Gun to my head, I would go with "Drs John and Jane Smith", but if I got paranoid about clarity, I don't see the problem with "Doctors John and Jane Smith".

The plural of "Mr" is "Messrs" FYI.

Trump's a busy guy, he can't fly 8 hours just to go visit a US disaster.

Now I get it that this humor appeal to the so called outraged anti trumpkin people,it's like hey we are in the same club guys.
It achieves nothing positive to their protest.
It does achieve something tho:
Constantly pouring in confusion and deflecting people from the real problem (but hey at least they got a smart joke out,right?).
The trump system thrives on chaos,noise and uses every tool it has to conceal how corrupted it is to its base and fullfill it's insane agenda.

Every single fake tweet posted that isn't immediately identifiable (like clearly visible,like a big red X on top right or something) feed the trump agenda,mainly by wasting time (as this post shows).

What is freaking sad is the only reason you people keep posting these is because it feels good to be smart and get a joke out in this little club.
Your are not helping.

Anyway when concentration camps open in USA you will have at least that for you on you resume,while rest of the world will cry under the nuclear ashes.

Memes worth it imo.

To get back to something itt. If we do not include the Gulf War Part 2. All you have to do is ask yourself which President (GWB or Trump) would be in PR days after Maria to figure out which one isn't a complete loser. Trump's response is way worse than Bush's bungled response to Katrina.

Yeah, that was the point, how something devoid of context can look weird and bad.

Specifically it's not a neat analogy but generally it's passable.

as discussed earlier, the trump tax plan is to get to 3 brackets, raise SD, but cut all other credits

so sure, you might get a higher standard deduction, but you are going to lose the child tax credit, earned income credit, student interest deduction, etc, you see where this is going.

Also, head of household would be gone, you are either married, or single.

Basically, imagine a black single mom with 4 kids, imagine what will **** her over the most in regards to tax reform;

thats what Trumps plan will be

I think a more full context was Democrats in the 80s lost some elections because they were "weak on crime" and the Clintons had to put on masks for appearances.

The fear of demonic crack dealing sociopathic teenagers who listened to heavy metal and rap and Soviets lurking around corners to snatch you up was real. I may have succumbed to it had I not listened to Motorhead and Run DMC at an impressionable age.

If only Hillary had thought to support racism we could have avoided all the ugliness of the last 6 months. Curse her!
