in so many words.
the most infuriating thing about Donny Convict’s compulsive habit of lying about every fucking thing is that he gets away with it.
Donny could hold a press conference to announce that the moon is made of beef and all the reporters in the room would nod their heads dutifully, and write it down. maybe — just maybe — The New York Times, if they’re feeling cheeky, might go with ‘Donny misleads on taste of moon,’ but that would be the end of it.
that’s why it was super fucking satisfying to watch French President Emmanuel Macron call out Donny on his bullshit, on live TV.
Donny’s invented a brand-new fever swamp fantasy: that other countries’ aid to Ukraine is in the form of a loan that will be paid back.
as with every Trumpian fairy tale, it’s patently untrue, easily debunked, and based on zero evidence — but it’s emblematic of the way Donny’s paranoid mind works. he can’t picture a world where parties enter into an honest agreement. he’s always trying to cheat everyone, so he always imagines that he’s always being cheated. a classic projection.
Trump: ‘everyone’s giving money to Ukraine, but I’m the only one not getting it back. so unfair! so unfair!’
that’s why Donny’s had such a huge a bug up his ass lately about extracting Ukraine’s resources for his own benefit. he truly believes he’s personally owed that money.
keep that in your mind, as we listen to Macron explain how the return of Russian financial assets currently frozen in Europe is a thing to be negotiated at the end of the war.
Macron: “you keep the assets. you take the proceeds during the wartime. but you keep the assets, and it’s part of the negotiations, at the end of the war. because this war cost all of us a lot of money. and this is the responsibility of Russia, because the aggressor is Russia. so at the end of the day, these frozen assets should be part of the negotiations.”
reporter: “will France support the the US being compensated?”
Macron: “I support the idea to have Ukraine first being compensated, because they are the ones who have lost a lot of their fellow citizens, and have been destroyed by these attacks.”
now let’s all watch Donny get humiliated.
Donny: “you don’t understand. Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. they get their money back.”
be quiet, Donny — the grownups are talking.
Macron actually grabs Donny by the arm to get him to stop lying, and replies, “no, in fact, to be frank, we pay sixty percent of the total force.”
Macron then goes on to explain that Donny is confusing two separate issues — war aid to Ukraine, and the ultimate ownership of frozen Russian assets currently held by Europe. but all of that goes right over Donny’s head, because he’s an obstinate fucking simpleton who knows what he knows, and he’s not going to let inconvenient things like facts change his mind.
Donny dismisses everything Macron said with “if you believe that, it’s okay with me. they get their money back and we don’t.”
what a condescending prick. and did you notice how Donny dismissively waved his hand while Macron was speaking? fuck you, Donny.
but how awesome is it to watch Donny get fact-checked in real-time?

Yeah, and if an American President does that abroad, the Left, and their Racist EuroTrash buddies would shout "Cowboy rhetoric" "Arrogant bully American".
Heck if you say "tear down that wall" abroad, most Liberals have NOTHING good to say about it today.
Or even here at home, call Iran, Iraq and NK an "Axis of Evil" or say "Evil Empire".
Every single time -- - Club 401K takes umbrage to it.
But when they're racist French (who deserve everything they get from a certain exploding population in their country) ----they cheer.

Didn't have to read any further than this, to know I was reading Turdrich.
I can't understand why you guys think that profanity and lots of it, enhances your argument. It does not and is crude spew as far as I am concerned. Tell me, is calling me a fucking idiot earn you more respect that just calling me an idiot?

You think it is “crude spew” to use the word “fucking”, yet you voted for and continue to rationalize your continued support for the behavior and actions of one of the crudest humans on the planet. An adjudicated rapist who brags about grabbing women by the pussy, watching teenage girls get undressed, and how he’d like to date his daughter (just to name a few).
I’m torn between ‘irony’ and ‘hypocrisy.’
I think I’ll fucking go with both.

The profanity is fine here, and at your highest levels of government.
It resonates with, and represents where we are as a culture and a people.
I hope it keeps going.
I want all of these things to be normalized, especially political violence and tribalism.
I'm hardly a moralist on these things, I say the F word to myself and out loud no less than 80 times a day. I love harmless words that let me express a feeling, or usually just entertain me via movies or jokes or whatever.
Would I have it in political discourse? No. But then again, I'm not the one who let the Housing Project, Barrio, and Trailer Park take over American culture.
You Liberals did that, and 1/6 was just an example of what you deserve. It was too timid but I have hope.....

I occasionally use that language when working with tools in the garage. And for exactly the same reason, I occasionally use that language when talking to Trump supporters.
It is the only language the tools understand.
