Too bad you weren't in the audience. He would have gotten one laugh instead of zero with his "humor."
I love it that his mentality was "Hey, these are Indians. Great opportunity to do an Elizabeth Warren joke." Hysterical. Because, see, they're INDIANS. And Pocahontas was an INDIAN. Comedy gold.
Somebody probably had to tell the buffoon who the Code Talkers were 15 minutes before the ceremony. And he probably forgot what he was told 5 minutes before the ceremony. Setting aside all the other things that should disqualify him from the office, he is looking more and more "out of it" as time goes on.

Delusional or deranged people usually don't just get better on their own.
Especially when they are surrounded by people who keep telling them how right they are even more often than the guy says it out loud about himself.
Well, maybe not more often; but a lot anyway.
Anybody else notice how spy some of those code talkers looked considering that they're old enough to be WWII vets?

I am Native American and we laugh at those that claim to have 1/16, 1/32 cause we know that real Natives, don't say shit like that, we say we are part of the (insert tribe here), no matter how much Native Blood we have. Trump is a moron.

Oh Jim, I am sorry, I was having a Trump moment speaking before thinking, Trump is lower than a moron, LOL.
So Flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, and is cooperating with the investigation:

Also, sources are saying it was Kushner who told Flynn to contact the Russians:

I don't think that anyone is "lower" than anyone else - we're all equal; just different in various ways.
Thus, he's not lower than a moron; he's just doesn't have as much sense as a moron.
Consequently, I still have to disagree with your statement even without considering that a "Trump moment" doesn't really involve "speaking without thinking", it involves speaking and speaking and speaking without ever thinking.
Well, a pig is not an "anyone".
But you know, I read an interesting article a few weeks ago. Pigs are actually highly intelligent animals. They exhibit emotional responses - a type of empathy - found only in "higher life forms"; that result from sensing the emotional state of other nearby pigs and mirroring their behavior.
It went into a lot of detail about the controls of the experiments that isolated or eliminated possible non-cognitive explanations for the shift in their behavior. It also gave some details about their ability to learn and remember what they learned.
So I guess it can be reasonably stated that pigs are smart.
It can then also be deduced that pigs are probably even smarter than some human morons.
In light of that, I believe that you are also now guilty of painting with a broad and undiscerning brush, and that you have insulted the average pig by making a comparison between them and Trump.
Perhaps if we could generalize our associations - confine them less to other people or animals and keep them more like just "ass" and "wart"; we could arrive at a comparison that is accurate without heaping insult upon other people or life forms.
There again, I read an article last night suggesting that all matter has consciousness (Panpsychism) - that even atoms have a very basic, primordial form of awareness.
That said, we might also need to consider the sensibilities of asses and warts before drawing comparisons between Trump and his betters of those varieties.

He (It) is now Tweeting about having fired Flynn because he lied to the FBI. There is no filter between his Twitter fingers and his brain. Either that or the filter is clogged with spray tan.

Hmmm this recognition of Jerusalem, he just announced. Several hundred new terrorists were created today by this. Some of them live in the United States. They have access to automatic weapons and bump stocks. Do you think he actual read anything about the peace talks?! Or just doesnâ??t care ?
I suspect that "several hundred" is a bit on the low side.

Based on what is known so far, no way Trump gets impeached. If Hillary hasn't been charged with a crime, there's no way anything sticks to Trump (as of now). The media might get away with spinning every possible impropriety (possible being the operative word) but the standards for congressional action cannot be avoided.
Guess who's coming to my town on Saturday?
We have two new museums opening Saturday, one is The MS Civil Rights Museum and it looks like he's making an appearance.
I wasn't going to the opening, now in light of the news I'm rushing around getting things done and making definite plans to not go and to not go as early in the day as possible.
I'll try to not be there at least a few hours before the start of the event.
Maybe he'll seize the opportunity to point a finger at Obama and blame him for the whole racial thing here and beyond.
Either that, or maybe he'll just declare it all to be fake news commemorated by an unnecessary museum - none of it ever happened.

The FBI found nothing to convict her on, if people need to be charged for a crime, if you are talking about Benghazi, that was the DOD (Department of Defense) doing, Then the DOD needs to be charged, if you are talking about the emails, the FBI found nothing, and said there was nothing to convict her on, they said something could have happened, but didn't, wish people would get over saying she needs to be charged with a crime, which crime? Funny I ask that and no one can answer me, Trump, however, does need to be impeached for the shit he is pulling and has pulled.
The North Koreans have demonstrated considerable insight into human nature and an admirable grasp of the English language:

Jim I love it,
Dotard fits him to a T.
We can thank his philosophical and political counterpart in North Korea for that astute and apt categorization.
Actually, the comments made were much more insightful than I indicated:
Kim Jong Un referred to Trump as, "a mentally deranged dotard"; having also compared him to a "frightened dog" that barks ever louder and a "gangster who likes to play with fire".
Damn - he's spot on for three out of three.
He may be a bat-shit crazy, evil dictator; but when a guy is right; he's just right, dammit.

[QUOTE=pkstracy;1540955]It doesn't help that all the conspiracy sites are egging them on with false stories rather than give facts that anyone would know if they actually took the time to investigate rather than listen to and copy others, something many Trump supporters are good at doing. I remember a few weeks ago the there was a trend on Twitter saying what would you thank Hilary for and when it came to those against her, rather than use their own words and say something actually worthwhile, it's as if they copy and pasted a message from somewhere as nearly all of them said the exact same thing.
[QUOTE=shellc;1541066]Of course and lot of them do not do their research, the only reason why Trump won is because people loved the Make America Great Again slogan, people want this country to be like it was back in the day, thinking 50s, when only the husband had to work and such, but Trump didn't say how he was going to make it great again, but some reason people loved that slogan and it made them think of baseball and apple pie, Trump is good at saying what the people want to hear, but not good on following through, he promised people there would be more jobs for people, and such and such and yeah it hasn't happened, now he is want to give the rich a tax break, use protected land, he is trying to cut medicaid and social security, and other programs.
A number of people are now criticizing Obama for cautioning us about following a path too similar to that which gave the world Nazi Germany.
Naturally, they can't (or won't) see the parallels between then and now; and they think that it could never happen here.
Naturally, they don't recognize that the first two requisites for it happening here are to think it can't happen and to refuse to see that it is happening.

That could be lengthy explanation - thanks to the post by our friend Upset (quoted below), a lot of the parallels I would mention have been covered. I'll just add a couple of more below, mainly concerning my perceptions of techniques that I would say are very similar to those used by the Nazis.
Liberal use of "the big lie".
Tell lies so big and so obvious that some will think there must be truth to them because nobody would tell such a huge, honking lie otherwise.
When called out on the lie - double and triple down; call those who called you out the real liars.
Appeal to people on the fringes of society - racists, virulent nationalists, haters of all stripes and make them feel justified in their feelings and behavior.
Normalize aberrant behavior and paint those who consider it aberrant as the ones who have mental\emotional issues.
Manufacture "true facts" to support whatever lie being told at any moment.
Claiming Divine approval, guidance or protection for the nation and your aims.
Megalomania - "I and I alone can fix it".
Thuggery - "If I don't get the nomination there could be trouble" - that alone should have gotten him tarred and feathered and kicked in the ass until his nose started bleeding. His own followers should have kicked him aside after that and refused to give the time of day to someone who would stoop to outright hooliganism.
And there's more that I'll try to get to later when I have time to do it justice.

So they strategically parked a truck in a spot to obstruct the view of Trump golfing.
I am probably the only one thinking this, but:
That must have been a big fucking truck.
Fat bastard.
Sincerely yours,
Upset
That seems suspicious.
Why would they do that when they could just assert that he wasn't doing what he was seen doing, or that it wasn't him who was seen doing what he was seen doing?
Sort of like they do with everything else, except for the things that they claim that he did do when he never did.
Anybody who claims otherwise is nothing more than a liar, an enemy of America, and guilty of trying to spread fake news.
Even if it was him, he wasn't just playing golf - he was curing cancer and winning the war on the war against Christmas - important stuff like that on a grand scale. Yuge scale, even.
A faulty hypothesis forming:
A German scientist using Iranian physics and French mathematics.
Surely he's got more bigly things to do than golf....lying, keeping track of his lies, inventing crowds for events, applying fresh Cheeto to his skin, Tweeting, sucking Putin's puny penis.....the list goes on and on.
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
"I just go here!"
"I am not psychic. I AM psychotic. BIG difference."
Nah - he has hired flunkies to do all of that for him even as they tell him how great he is.
Maybe not the Putin's penis part; I'm not sure about that.
"Putin's Penis" would be a great name for a band.
If ever there's a double header featuring Putin's Penis and Pussy Riot, I am there; backstage if possible.
Yep - Putin's Penis warming up for Pussy Riot and getting everybody all juiced up for Butthole Surfers.
I just don't get to use those words in polite conversation very often.
Of course, I'm not a reality TV star, a billionaire or a Presidential contender - or someone who totally lacks manners or morals.

I agree Upset, It would be nice.
This book coming out next week should be filled with revelations if what's been let out so far is any indication(assuming it's true). One interesting thing I read is that Trump did not want to win and promised Melania that he wouldn't. Basically a big PR stunt to boost his global reputation which of course he would turn into deals. Melania apparently started crying when it became certain he was president.
Yeah - I've read a few excerpts.
I just heard that they're going to release it early.
I always felt like the guy didn't want to be President and that even he thought there was no way people would support the outrageous crap he was saying.
I sort of thought that once he was elected unexpectedly that he'd say, "You people thought I was serious!?"
If half of what I've read from the book so far is true, then we're about half way to what I expected out of Trump.

Yeah, no telling how much is really true.
Based upon what he says and does and the way he acts, I don't have a problem believing that he's bat-shit crazy and about six years old emotionally.
I think he never expected to win and didn't especially want to.
Then we he did, that yuge freakin' ego went into extra special hyper-drive and he decided that he was The Chosen One for real; which in a sense to many people; he is.
A faulty hypothesis forming:
A German scientist using Iranian physics and French mathematics.
Easy to say well I didn't say that, when you are confronted with it head on.
My copy is on it's way - I can't wait to read this mess and see what it says and how it says it, as the author seems to have an iffy rep with being cautious - but no denying that he had a special White House pass for months and had access so it will be difficult for Trumpists to dismiss this.
