Thread: President Donald Trump

This is what I'm talking about.

"The Supreme Court Was Never Meant to Be Political

Since the 1950s, the justices have become ever more powerful and partisan

"
"It is now received wisdom that perhaps the single most important power of the American president is the nomination of justices to the Supreme Court. In today’s debate over the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, both sides agree that the future direction of the American republic is at stake, because the next appointment will determine the political tilt of a judicial body that has become the ultimate arbiter of the laws under which we live.Most members of America’s founding generation would have regarded this situation as strange. If you read the debates among the delegates at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and then read their prescriptions for judicial power in Article III of the Constitution, it becomes clear that the last thing the 39 signers of the document wanted was for the Supreme Court to become supreme. They expected that status to belong to Congress, and a majority thought that each branch of government should decide the scope of its own authority. The last location the framers of the Constitution wished to place sovereignty in the government they created was the Supreme Court, the most unrepresentative body and the one most removed from the wellspring of ultimate authority in “the People.”

For most of American history, the Supreme Court only infrequently stepped forward to redefine the political landscape in decisive fashion. The two most conspicuous occasions both involved the great American tragedy of race.

In Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), the Court attempted to provide a legal resolution of the politically unsolvable problem of slavery... "

Why don't you actually post something that is humorous?

Micheal Avenatti destroys Tucker Carlson and fake news....

Tucker Carlson takes all his cues from that other fat c u n t Hannity.

If their guest says something they don't like, they immediately interrupt and harangue, and if they can't stop them speaking on the same topic. they cut them off.

Pair of wankers.

agree, limits will make the whole court a big circus for bi-polar political agenda, as some kind of first or last ground to push for your whacky agenda, the worse of both world

Both students of the Bill O’Reilly School of ‘Interviewers’ then.

Absolutely.

Although he slipped my mind him being a mere "web personality" these days.

I see Baldy Orange Cunto has raised tarriffs again.

The Dems will be pleased.

time to short the market, the S&P 500 is at all time high

rumor has it that ronan farrow has 'the apprentice' out takes in which trump uses racial slurs and refers to his son as a 'retard'.

That rumour's been around forever.

The past two years have been dizzying and highly unpleasant, like a Gravitron at the Ku Klux Klan's semi-annual block party. This is largely because our president, a hunk of boiled hot dog, seems to operate completely at random, without any sort of overarching logic or memory of what he's just done. But what if there was something, some sort of keystone idea or principle, that explained the last two years of domestic politics? That big why that is revealed like 12 minutes before the movie ends that could explain the tweets, the bluster, the almost-war, the sudden rage? Porn actress Stormy Daniels's new book may just have it. The Guardian obtained a copy of the yet-to-be released book, Full Disclosure, in which she describes their sexual interactions in unfortunate, but politically important detail. His penis is shaped like a toadstool.

She describes Trump's penis as "smaller than average" but "not freakishly small."

"He knows he has an unusual penis," Daniels writes. "It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool..."

"I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart...

"It may have been the least impressive sex I'd ever had, but clearly, he didn't share that opinion."

For reference:



Imagine waking up every morning, heaving your big, dumb body to your chilly bathroom, whipping your salume out of your sleeping trousers, and being faced with what you've been faced with every day for the past 70 years: your pink portobello dick, resting plaintively in a nest of golden Yeti hair. Would you vow to become president and, through your administration, seek wretched revenge on everyone who even looked at you a little like you might have such a downstairs situation? Maybe so.

But Michael Avenatti, Daniels's attorney and a Personality in his own right, wants us to look past the detailed, unavoidable, seared-into-our-collective-brains description of our Commander-in-Chief's Commander-in-Chief.

And definitely, yes, totally agree. But this is important, too.

The Guardian's piece focuses on other revelations from Daniels's book—how the two met, how Trump offered to rig The Apprentice for her, her experience as a target of Republican rage and national fascination—but you can read about that over there.

Michael Avenatti ✔ @MichaelAvenatti



The most important thing about @stormydaniels book is not the description of her sex with Mr. Trump. It is instead her description of her life and role as a modern woman unafraid to speak truth to power. I am proud to call her my client and my friend.

That is what makes it so funny.

On Tuesday, The Guardian published excerpts from an obtained copy of Stormy Daniels’ not-yet-published, tell-all memoir Full Disclosure, in which she describes a number of troubling events: her 2006 sexual encounter with Donald Trump; her mounting disbelief as she watched him gain traction during the 2016 primaries; her fear that she might be in danger as he got closer and closer to the presidency; and her agreement to sign a $130,000 hush agreement. (Trump has denied the alleged affair, though he has admitted to authorizing his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to pay Daniels for her silence, and Cohen later pleaded guilty to criminal charges related to the payoff.)

Yet one detail of the book the Guardian revealed has had the Internet in a frenzy: Daniels’ description of Trump’s genitals as “like the mushroom character in Mario Kart.” Images of the character, Toad, were instantly memed and “Mario Kart” trended on Twitter. Reactions were a mixture of horror at having to imagine Trump’s junk, and glee to have such a sensitive detail about him to mock. But it brought up a larger question: Is it ok to dick-shame the president?

In January, the results of Trump’s physical exam — which showed him to be just shy of obesity, according to the Body Mass Index — launched a debate over whether or not it was OK to fat-shame him. On the one hand, there was the argument that Trump body-shames everyone, from Miss Universe contestants to Rosie O’Donnell, and that the best way to get under the skin of a petty, vain man is to attack his physical appearance. On the other hand was the more compelling argument that mocking Trump’s weight on Twitter — or in an op-ed he’ll never read — won’t hurt him, but it will hurt fat people who actually see it; that tying your disdain for Trump to his weight only reinforces harmful ideas of fatness as connected to moral failure and fat people as unlovable. To protect and support all of the overweight people out there who aren’t trying to block immigration into this country or undercut the public’s trust in journalism, it’s better to focus anti-Trump sentiments on his personality and his policies, not his body.

But does the same rule apply to making fun of his penis? Surely it’s tempting to mock anything we can about the president, especially something so closely tied with ideas of masculinity and power, when his desperation for those things is so transparent. And this is not the kind of information that was ever going to sail through the Internet quietly.

Yet to determine whether posting Toad memes will do more harm than good, ask if dick-shaming the president would cause the same collateral damage as fat-shaming him: Are men who are seeing the Toad memes going to feel worse about themselves and their bodies? There’s certainly a case to be made that penis insecurity is already common and unfounded enough, and that playing into that insecurity only perpetuates the toxic masculinity that leads to violence. Impossible body standards and gender roles are imposed on men as well as women, and feeding into men’s insecurities and fears that women will mock them for having a small penis only serves to reinforce those standards. That could drive men deeper and deeper into harmful performances of hyper-masculinity to overcompensate, including misogyny and violence against women. So what seems like a harmless joke is actually part of the larger system that keeps everyone trapped by trying to measure up to outdated and useless gender ideals.

The fact that penis size is so tied in with ideas of masculinity almost makes it more tempting to get in on these jokes, knowing that the world thinking he has a tiny pecker might actually send Trump off the deep end. Fatness has its own cultural baggage, but it’s a trait that, even while widely deriding it, society has given rich men a pass on since at least King Henry VIII.

Therefore, if we want to take the high road, we probably shouldn’t laugh about the president’s alleged stumpy mushroom dick. But also, the constant onslaught of horrific news coming out of this administration is mentally and emotionally exhausting — we’re most likely about to see Brett Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court despite accusations that he’s an attempted rapist, which will leave women’s reproductive rights in the balance; children are still in cages at the border; and at least one senior official in the Trump’s administration believes he acts “in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic” — so if we stray from taking the high road once in a while, reaching for a rare moment of levity, maybe that’s not the worst thing in the world.

Mods, is there anyway we can get a smiley that looks like Toad to use in place of trump's name?

Something like this:
