Trump thread # 100 “Cannot you see that I, too, have a tall and beautiful person?”

[TheClaws]

Roman Emperor Nero wrote the above in a manual titled ‘Care of the Hair’. Nero was tyrannical, vain and cruel, and thought little of the lives of others. He also liked to erect buildings and carve his name into them. if only we could learn well from the past.

I went to the New York county clerk’s website and found this filing. It includes the entire manuscript with allllllll the editor’s comments as exhibit B.

I didn’t read the manuscript. Just the comments. They’re...amazing. Even better than the excerpts in the filing.

And a pretty good summary of the book I imagine.

The editor is a conservative man who has published books for 45 & other folks with similar opinions. You can see that in the occasional “good point” comments. But mostly he was very politely having NONE of Milo’s bullshit.

It’s glorious.

Also I now know I can write a book, because ffs he wrote A WHOLE CHAPTER about how ugly people hate him

Literally anyone could do better than this

You can feel the faint air of “oh god, what have we gotten ourselves into” getting stronger

The Bishop is not wrong. You'd think Scrotus was the second coming the way some Evangelicals talk. And they hold him up as being such a Christian man!! Funny how they are able to ignore his adultery, shady dealings, lack of charity, and bigotry (just to name a few of the the things that Christ spoke against). But it's all down to that 'single issue' voting that got him elected. In the case of Evangelicals, I guess it's 'double issue': abortion and gay rights.

The 'little wine and little cracker' comment would be insulting to me as a Christian if I gave two hoots and a shiny shit what he said. And as far as 'forgiveness' because one has taken communion I don't think any doctrine espouses that the act of communion in and of itself wipes away one's sins. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that Presbyterians even believe in transubstantiation in the first place!

He's such an idiot. But it's all good. According to St Donald of Scrotus I can lie, cheat, and steal and all I have to do is down a glass of red and munch on a few Ritz crackers and I'm golden! Asshole!

Because we love a good song here and we like honesty, an honest Christmas song.

Vanity Fair, which looks like it is on its last legs, is bending over backwards in apologizing for the minor hit they took at Crooked H. Anna Wintour, who was all set to be Amb to Court of St James’s & a big fundraiser for CH, is beside herself in grief & begging for forgiveness!

What is he supposed to be talking about?

It's this:

"Vanity Fair is trying to defuse criticism of a video mocking Hillary Clinton and her presidential aspirations, saying it was an attempt at humour that "missed the mark"."

"The video suggests Mrs Clinton take up knitting, volunteer work or any hobby that would keep her from running again for president."

www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-28/vanity-fair-apologises-for-mocking-hillary-clinton/9290560

I don't disagree with the message to think of something else that doesn't involve running for President. Although it would be fun if she ran again against Trump in 2020 and won. (apart from him still being President in 2020, and the US needing fresh blood)

Twitters seem to think Trump is saying Anna Wintour is the editor of Vanity Fair.

Has he got his female editors of magazines mixed up?

I think he is just mixed up...

It's also not clear if he's criticising them for apologising or for the video to start with.

I agree. He's just confused.

Or... Is there any Mueller news coming out?

Anna Wintour serves as artistic director of Condé Nast as well so she wields enormous influence and control over all Condé Nast titles. He’s right to mention her in this case.

Vanity Fair and Vogue are both Conde Nast titles

Meet ‘Posh George’: The Shady Money Man Tangled Up With Brexit, Russia, and Trump

Why did Nigel Farage take a dark web fraudster to the Republican convention? And what did this young money-laundering maven tell the feds when they busted him?

Scott Dworkin @funder 1h

If you’re tweeting about Vanity Fair, Anna Wintour or anything to do with Trump’s tweet, you’re doing it wrong. Focus on the fact @SpeakerRyan must #RemoveNunes from the Intel Cmte. Not Trump’s gaslighting.

Scott Dworkin @funder 2h

Happy #RemoveNunes day to everyone in #TheResistance! Please call @SpeakerRyan & make it clear he must remove Devin Nunes from the Intel Cmte. He violated his recusal dozens of times now & is a suspect in the Trump-Russia probes. He can’t be trusted, he’s a complete traitor.

A 'reshuffle' is to be expected - even though it will lead to instability in the short term.
