Re: Deranged lunatic in chief

I feel like "Impeach the Motherfucker" was a good rallying cry for a while and needs to be brought back.

I think that quote is impeachable. It's close to yelling "Fire" in a crowded theatre where there is no fire.

So you're saying it's not true?

3: No, it's perfectly true. As absolutely true as the marriage of the Proper Numbers and the Declarative Fractions on the 13th day of the 13th month on the Absolute Center of this Flat Earth.

"Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track of whether or not I have established object permanence. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

And the New York fracking Times is here to tell you the correct way to think about the quoted sequence of words in the OP.

Fact check: At a rally on Saturday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, President Trump revived an inaccurate refrain about doctors "executing babies."

"Sadly, inaccurate refrains are sometimes revived in a pluralistic society; here's how to get your kid into an Ivy without going to jail."

Cretinous sub-cunts from lower hell afflicting the world mightily, let me show you.

Not that the garbage in the OP deserves any attention, but here's a moving thread from an Neonatal ICU nurse on palliative care for dying babies.

That thread was lovely. When we were delivering our first, one nurse (Connie) specifically opted to be with us because we were listed as "fetal demise". Very brave woman, and she ended up handling the breach birth by herself for the first several minutes (it was fine, she was very skilled and there was no baby at stake, so no one worried). Then she did indeed take care of the baby as described. I am very grateful she got a lock of his hair, because that is my proof that he was really here. We went back to the same hospital to deliver our healthy son, and I was bummed that Connie was on vacation and couldn't see the happy ending.

So, right. Trump's statement is deeply fucked up. Whenever he gets on a topic that I know about, I can not believe how bizarrely, deeply, not-even-wrong and nowhere near right he is. I have to assume he is equally surreally wrong on everything else as well, instead of just the completely wrong that it sounds like from a distance.

20: Trump doesn't know anything about anything except certain financial topics. Everything else he is just making up what he thinks his audience wants to hear or trying to repeat the last thing he heard.

What do you think, heebie? Should the blog make some formal acknowledgement of the puppy becoming a dog, ideally in a form even more confusing and ridiculous than the original thread? Or just have a title "Wow, so promotion, many job security!" and congratulations to the dog?
