Cornyn, Mussolini and Dom and weren't around a million years ago. Jesus may have never been around.

It’s amazing how much a $25k bribe will buy you

I went to /r/the_donald to see how in fact they are reacting to this story. The results in order of popularity (worth noting that mostly they're just ignoring it completely, this thread is pretty low down):

Quote:

Collusion is dead so now they pivot to this bull****.

(+62)

Quote:

No one kissed that thing

(+50)

Quote:

Obama probably had 100’s of these frivolous lawsuits and the press didn’t report on a single one. Just ridiculous. Trump is on the verge of peace with NK, and the press zeroes in on “ he tried to kiss me”. Good grief.

(+34) (Also author mistakenly seems to believe the United States currently at war with North Korea?)

Quote:

I’m confused. We’re told Trump is racist every day. Why would he be inclined to kiss a black woman?

(+28)

Definitive proof here from the racism understander

Quote:

Probably blew her a kiss onetime as he was off to meet his supermodel wife.

Sounds like rape to me!

(+20)

Quote:

It’s not likely that trump is into bestiality. So this never happened

(+16)

so we have: media conspiracy, 'too ugly to rape', 'this probably happened to obama all the time' (lmao), you can't be racist and assault a black woman (shout out Thomas Jefferson!), women be lying about rape, and finally just outright racist misogyny because why not. about what you'd expect.

I really want to know what KJU's endgame plan is, his family's been ****ing over NK for 80 years and telling them the outside world is even worse, I don't know how he suddenly introduces the modern world and isn't immediately murdered.

Eh, I hate to be That Guy, but technically there was never any peace deal, just a cease fire agreement. NK signing a deal and officially ending the war would be a symbolic victory for Trump.

seems to me that his end game is to extract sanctions relief and massive economic concessions whereby he can claim victory against the oppressors and do a better job of not starving his people

I have to imagine if I was a billionaire who has a doctor and labs on payroll and i don’t have to worry about insurance approving it, they would actually do testing and determine what exactly I have, whether it’s bacterial or viral, and whether antibiotics even make sense.

Antibiotics are terrible for you, but doctors don't care about something that makes you slightly sicker over the long term as that won't get them fired. (obviously they are required sometimes)
They'd rather protect themselves so they just write antibiotic prescriptions for everyone

I don't think he has any realistic plans to drag the country into the 21st century or anything.

This is Spike Lee's speech that Trump referred to as a "racist hit on your president":

Quote:

The word today is “irony.” The date, the 24th. The month, February, which also happens to be the shortest month of the year, which also happens to be Black History month. The year, 2019. The year, 1619. History. Her story. 1619. 2019. 400 years.

Four hundred years. Our ancestors were stolen from Mother Africa and bought to Jamestown, Virginia, enslaved. Our ancestors worked the land from can’t see in the morning to can’t see at night. My grandmother, [inaudible], who lived to be 100 years young, who was a Spelman College graduate even though her mother was a slave. My grandmother who saved 50 years of social security checks to put her first grandchild — she called me Spikie-poo — she put me through Morehouse College and N.Y.U. grad film. N.Y.U.!

Before the world tonight, I give praise to our ancestors who have built this country into what it is today along with the genocide of its native people. We all connect with our ancestors. We will have love and wisdom regained, we will regain our humanity. It will be a powerful moment. The 2020 presidential election is around the corner. Let’s all mobilize. Let’s all be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate. Let’s do the right thing! You know I had to get that in there.

Amazing, pretty sure Trump thinks "black man speaking" = racism

eh ok fair enough i guess that's my bad.

still think it's pretty wild that the president can be accused of sexual harassment by someone who worked on his presidential campaign two years ago and it's basically a giant whatever that will be forgotten tomorrow. i mean i understand why, obviously, but just thinking about it in a vacuum...jesus

It's amazing how often he uses the term "central casting". He literally thinks he's the main character on an 80s tv show and everyone around him are just supporting characters that can be boiled down to the most superficial stereotypes. He gets kind of excited when he sees one that actually looks exactly like what he thinks they should look like.

He’s never denuclearizing and he’s never opening up the country and modernizing. He’ll just hold on to his power until he dies.

A lawyer for the Trump Organization has asked the House Judiciary Committee to stop any and all investigations into the company, arguing that there is an alleged conflict of interest with one of the lawyers consulting with the Democratic-led panel, The Washington Post reported.

Lawyer Alan Futerfas reportedly asserted in a letter on Monday that the panel must "cease and desist from any and all activities that are adverse to the Company” because it hired Berry Berke, a lawyer who works for a law firm that has previously represented the Trump Organization on a range of matters. This crossover, Futerfas argues, disqualifies the probe from investigating the company.

“This state of affairs violates recognized ethical obligations and irreparably taints the Committee’s work,” Futerfas wrote Monday in a letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the Post reported.
