General Trump hilarity free-for-all thread

[Faust]

Maybe the maelstrom that is the administration might actually do something good for a change?

What the FUCK happened and why the FUCK am I rooting for Stephen "Dark Enlightenment" Bannon, even if only in a highly limited case?

[Cain]

So, what exactly is the current GOP punishment for heresy?

For every one step to the left on taxation and fiscal policy, you have to take two steps to the right on social authoritarianism and ethnic nationalism.

Okay ... and that's a punishment because?

[Cain]

Well it feels like a punishment to watch.

It does.

I want to die screaming.

So, we attacked the sea in retaliation for NK attacking the sea?

[Prelate Diogenes Shandor]

Oh my god! They're both Caligula!

I've been following this Trump tweet/CNN story, and it's getting pretty crazy.

What I don't understand is why Trump and his surrogates/supporters are so obsessed with CNN, instead of say WaPo or the NYT, whose original investigative reporting is far more damaging.  The only reason I can think is that because CNN presents an easy target - a station that no-one is especially going to go out of their way to defend, which may open the doors to more restrictions on, or at the very least intimidating other, more robust press outlets.

Or he's just crazier than a shithouse rat.

He got lost walking 5 steps from his plane to his limo.  The Columbian marching powder has eaten his brain.

This is true, but it doesn't explain his followers.  I mean, only so many of them can have brain damage.

Come out past the Mississippi.

We have a bunk for you, should you ever decide to soil yourself in such a manner.

Also, CNN is TV, which Trump watches, rather than written news.

[Cain]

That's true, reading is hard.
