Yes the right is more hypocritical when it comes to the deficit.

Oh, good, Trump tweets are back.

[count2infinity]

YOU GOD DAMN RIGHT THEY ARE!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

He's so lit.

[tifosi77]

This will be a day long remembered

[NailedPenguin]

I bet this means he's close to firing Mueller. Got the 5af tweets back as a distraction.

[Gaucho]

Yes, getting a crowd excited is indeed a unique and potent political weapon.

[Kane]

Bigly if true.

Talk of a Greenland purchase was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

"If he is truly contemplating this, then this is final proof, that he has gone mad," foreign affairs spokesman for the Danish People's Party, Soren Espersen, told broadcaster DR.
"The thought of Denmark selling 50,000 citizens to the United States is completely ridiculous," he said.

[mikey]

Maybe we can trade for it...

[dodint]

I like the idea that Espersen thinks Trump wants the people. Hah. Deport them as soon as the ink is dry.

[grunthy]

Didn’t we buy the US Virgin Islands from them?

[tifosi77]

We did, indeed. But I think the appetite for that kind of borders/sovereign-related territorial acquisition died out in the post-WW2/colonial era. The closest similar activity I'm aware of today is countries buying land overseas (in a real estate sense) for exclusive farm production for export back to the owning country; the ROK, for example, owns of millions of acres in southern Africa for agriculture.

(Edit: The land ROK owns is actually on Madagascar.)

Fun loving Trump sparks a whimsical, benign national dialog on the heels of a bajillion disastrous optical events. President Funzie isn't so bad afterall.

...but who knows. Maybe he's deflecting. Maybe not. I guess it's nice to have him do something stupid that has zero social impact, at least. My TDS isn't flaring up on this one.

Thank goodness we have people like this to protect us.

Black teens fundraising for high school football team held at gunpoint by white woman

[Morkle]

Kind of a scummy thing to say.

[count2infinity]

Trump gunna Trump.

[Trip McNeely]

Imagine like seriously hanging out with the guy. Every president since I’ve been born (Reagan baby) would be just straight up awesome to sit down with and talk about anything.

Hanging out with Trump would be so awful within two minutes. Like thinking about ways to kill yourself to get away from him type of awful

[AuthorTony]

It so great having a POTUS with the mentality of a 16 year old high school boy. Makes me proud to me an American.

Donald Trump bullied a man as overweight, then didn't apologize
"Trump did not apologize, a White House official tells me. He phoned the supporter, left him a message thanking him for his support, but did not use the words 'sorry' or 'apologize.'"
No, of course he didn't.
Here are the things I find remarkable about all this:
1) We have a President who thinks fat-shaming someone in front of thousands of people is a totally acceptable thing to do
2) The crowd laughed and applauded when Trump made the comment about the man's weight
3) Trump only decided to reach out to the man when informed he was a supporter
4) The White House went out of its way to make clear that Trump did not apologize to the man

[shmenguin]

That’s like 80% of an actual Mr. Show sketch.

[Morkle]

AFAIK he’s never apologized for anything. He’s always the victim, so expecting that to change seems like a long shot.
