I read the backstory. Tit for tat. It's still a ****ing stupid thing to be "blowing up social media" about, no?

Things that blow up on social media are usually stupid.

True, but it's all over the main news too. What a stupid world we live in.
Meanwhile he's doing **** like this and nobody seems to care.

Trump just gave a sickening gift to his son, changing the law to let bloodthirsty American hunters murder elephants in Africa and bring their heads home as trophies.

Trump Jr. shot and mutilated an elephant -- and now his dad is rewarding him by making it so anyone can join the slaughter and bring home elephant body parts as souvenirs, even as ivory poaching threatens to wipe these amazing creatures out.

I assume Donald Duck is aware that African nations have their own laws against poaching too, right?

Frownland 11-17-2017 08:56 AM

I think it's more of a narcissistic "**** Obama" move than a gift to his family as it's being described as.

rubber soul 11-17-2017 08:58 AM

I have a feeling the more Trump screws with Obama's legacy, the greater Obama will end up looking by historians.

What Trump did was to make it ok for Americans to bring parts of elephants into the USA.

In other news: Trump blasts Franken (D), but still stays silent about Moore (R).

^ Wow! That's a repulsive image!

Yep, the msm always leads with the scandal of the day, so we have to figure out which scandal is consequential and which not.

These reports about US politics highlight two serious, damaging things going on behind the smoke-screen of Trump's latest hypocrisies. Let's hope that Americans are not too distracted by all the deflecting tweets. I hope instead that they will keep their eye on the ball. (Understandably, I'm reluctant to say that they should keep their eye on Trump's balls.):-

Good news on Trump v the elephants...

Dear friends,

Amazing -- Trump just tweeted that he's putting his plan on hold and the BBC says it came after massive action on social media

Got to be happy with this! :)

rubber soul 11-19-2017 10:47 AM

I was thinking you were talking about Trump vs. the Republicans :laughing:

But it's still good news just the same. Maybe now, he'll actually start listening.

Yeah I just didn't want to quote that disgusting picture again. Hey, maybe he will issue an executive order opening season on Republicans who dont' agree with him? :laughing:

^ Yep, I'll be happy unless it's just more backtracking, self-contradiction and fudging around. Remember his "stance" on Charlottesville? Or his comments on Putin? Day One, "I believe Putin." Day Two, "I meant I believe Putin believes himself."
