Donald Trump: Human Gaffe Machine

'Human gaffe machine': Trump's inner circle frantic as they clean up another mess

@DemocracyMattersALot With all due respect, gaffes are misstatements whereas Trump speaks in a stream of consciousness - that is to say, everything that comes out of his mouth is shit that has actually floated around in that rotting soup tureen of a head.

Trump has threatened a 10% tariff on all imports.

Tariffs can be used strategically, but a blanket tariff is effectively just a sales tax on American consumers.

Trump's tariff tax would cost the average family an extra $1,500 year.

@rbreich He's also threatening mass deportation of all undocumented residents, which would wreck construction, maintenance, agriculture, food processing, restaurants, and hospitality services. Not to mention Social Security & Medicare. He's determined one way or the other to collapse the economy.

Before Republicans clutch their pearls about whatever Barron Trump is trending for again, maybe they should apologize to Malia and Sasha Obama, Chelsea Clinton, David Hogg, Greta Thunberg, and every single little girl they forced to give birth.

Then you can clutch your pearls.

@Strandjunker He's 18 years old, has graduated from high school, and is now stepping into the political arena. Therefore, the neutrality with which he's been treated is over.

I grew up on a farm, and we ocsasionally had to put down severely injured animals, including a family dog that had been struck by a car. This is not what Kristi Noem brags about. You do not get to pose behind your farming heritage to excuse a series of despicable acts. Noem is a sociopath.

"I was very appreciative of Donald Trump's support of law enforcement so I was there merely to show appreciation for his support of law enforcement in the United States."

Really? Was this support demonstrated before or after he sent his goons to the US Capitol building to beat police officers and attempt to overthrow the government?

What is Tucker talking about? No one in NYC is "scared to ride the subway"

The worst thing about the subway is the ADA wasn't funded so there aren't elevators at every station.

Do people not in NYC really think it's still the early 80s in NYC? WTF.

@futurebird Let's put this in perspective. Tucker Carlson was afraid to ride the subway, because cooties or sumpin. That manling is a chump.

"We are fourteen years into the implementation of Obamacare and somehow, we aren’t facing a nationwide shortage of burial space to store all the bodies from the death panel’s reign of terror.

You remember the death panels, don’t you? …

The right-wing fearmongering doesn’t just go to ten, it goes all the way to ten thousand, every time.

This is not new and not just some Trump-era thing."

@wdlindsy Death panels are what we call coverage review committees of insurance companies.

"As for the mainstream media, they are positively tumescent over this excuse to question Biden’s mental competency—even as his rival, the fat rapist with 91 counts against him, confuses Biden with Obama, and Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi, and spews nonsensical shit on the regular like the dementia patient he is. The New York Times, which used to be a good paper once upon a time, couldn’t wait to But-Her-Emails the President."

Marine Glisovic reports that after Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders appointed Jamol Jones to the state Board of Corrections, it was found he had been fired by the Benton, Arkansas, police department for having sex with a 17-year-old girl.

As Austin Bailey reports, Sanders' spokesperson Alexa Henning is defending the appointment because Jones talks about God and family.

@wdlindsy Tbh, Republicans in Arkansas consider 17 to almost be a spinster.

If history had taken another path, bar codes would look dramatically different today. Pictured: Here’s some of the options that were being considered, and the bull’s-eye was a favorite ⬇️

“Even in their wildest dreams, [the committee members] could not have imagined how consequential their decision ended up being,” writes Jordan Frith of Clemson University.

Reminder that the supposedly "pro-life" states with the most restrictive abortion laws, also have the weakest social services for women and children. The right-wing agenda isn't about life, it's about control.

@rbreich Republicans aren't pro-life. They're a death cult.
