General Trump hilarity free-for-all thread

[Nibor the Priest]

No I talk using real words, not gibbering methhead neologisms.

Do you think all the other words just popped fully formed out of the Big Bang or what?

If it was not your intention to be viewed as a gibbering meth-head, styling yourself "methdong" and babbling about "Jewish NeoNazis" may not have been a good choice.

Im not the one who caught Stephen Miller, who is jewish, doing a nazi "dogwhistle" and thought I was clever. I feel like when someone is accused of being a Nazi, the fact that they are jewish is relevant. Antisemetism is, last time I checked, a big part of being a Nazi.

But it's DIFFERENT for him.  He is a poptart.

I refuse to humor NIck Land/Moldbug stupidity. I refuse to pretend their stupid blog posts are some kind of coherent philosophy and that all their made up words mean anything. Like "cathedral", it literally means nothing. Its a term so vague and meaningless it could be applied to almost anything and they mask this using a stimmed up verbal diarrhea word salad writing style that basically dares you to call them out on it. Its the same bluff as post modernism or gender studies.

"Heh, you dont GET the 'Cathedral'? Sorry if its a bit OVER YOUR HEAD. Im not writing for the COMMON RABBLE like yourself, Im writing for the INTELLECTUAL ELITE(Javascript Programmers)"

You could put guns to Nick Land and Moldbugs heads and give them hours and they would never even come close to explaining what they actually mean by those words.

I think he means as opposed to imaginary words.  like how the word ₰ꝣꝳṵᵹ is meant to represent the square root of fnord.

₰ꝣꝳṵᵹ ^2 = fnord

[minuspace]

Great, in my mind the word cathedral now also looks like a cat-faced polytope. Perfect, just perfect.

[Doktor Howl]

tmw your president gets mad because you stop acting racist.

[Juana]

Of course he is. 🙄

In other news, his niece's book says he's Like That bc his character was forged by child abuse and neglect at the hands of his father.

Heads up for that kind of thing in the article, btw:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-worldview-forged-by-neglect-and-trauma-at-home-his-niece-says-in-new-book/2020/07/07/b19b22f6-bf9d-11ea-864a-0dd31b9d6917_story.html

I feel like anyone who has spent time working with people (children especially tho) would recognize that but, like, that stops being an excuse in adolescence and is definitely not an excuse for his geriatric ass.

[Cain]

Yeah. That kind of thing can be sympathetic to a degree...until you remember just how much abuse he has dished out at others in return, and how it dwarfs his own suffering by vast magnitudes.

And it's not like he can't afford the therapy to work through these issues, or is in the kind of financial position where he can't avoid toxic personalities who appeal to his worst instincts either.

[Doktor Howl]

And then SCOTUS punted.

AP News has "breaking" that the Trump administration has sanctioned 3 Chinese officials for human rights violations.

My guess is that the Chinese will point and laugh, as will the rest of the world, given our recent record on that sort of thing.

[Cain]

Sounds like there's more planned. That it's over what is happening in Xinjiang, I have to say I'm not terribly upset that they've finally chosen to act, though my preference would be to make it far more wide-reaching and, of course, to actually do it from a position where I don't look like a massive hypocrite.

That isn't actually possible.

Roger Stone's sentence has been commuted.  Nauseating, but unsurprising.

I wonder who managed to talk Trump out of giving him a full pardon.

...actually, why didn't he just pardon him?  The optics aren't much different.  Is there some legal subtlety going on?

His sentence was only like 3 years and a half regardless.
