He's going third person again. And obsessing about himself and demanding thanks. Again.

Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail!

He is absolutely the most self-delusional clump of cells this nation has ever seen. And that's saying a lot.

they might be headed to trial, depending on evidence.

Should we thank the Dotard for accidentally supporting the foundations of a true democratic society? The 'rule of law?'

Oh, hell no! It was a freakin' accident! Read all of his other tweets!

And as far as I know, the players were never sentenced to anything, but were being held for attempted shoplifting?

Also, did Trump even bring up human rights issues with the Heads of State he met?

We already know he was left out of economic deal making.

Of course he had to play it up because even the deplorables might be doubtful on this lie.

I am all for any US POTUS using influence to get abroad Americans out of shit when the shit is a phony made up deal from a hostile country. These
things occur rather frequently in North Korea and other places around the world that don't like Americans.

But I think these 3 guys are guilty of what they are accused of. I certainly don't want them imprisoned for stealing sun glasses and I don't think China does that sort of thing. They may have gotten a hefty fine and few days in jail. But, you know, the 3 were in the wrong.

how could you come to the conclusion that these 3 guys are guilty?

We don't even have the American value of 'presumption of innocence' anymore?

Just to fuck with them. Is that what you think?

I haven't seen anything that shows anything, guilt or innocence. But then that's what a trial is for. Maybe you have seen something I haven't. If so show me.

if youthful blacks are arrested for a crime, do you assume them to be guilty?

Now, a country that idiot in the White House said was raping America is given credibility because they arrested some youthful blacks?

I sometimes think they are guilty and sometimes I think they are innocent. I look at all the stuff I can find to make a decision. Evidence presented, witness statements, defendant statements, anything and everything I can find.

But never the race of the charged, nor even the race of those doing the charging.

And that is something I like about myself.

for picking someone up. It may not be probable cause, but it might be something.

Wed Nov 15, 2017, 11:54 AM
Nov 2017

Years ago, back when Obama and all the Presidents before him, the United States had what was called 'A State Department'. This State Department was staffed by thousands of smart and talented Americans. This State Department had things called Embassies, one in every country on Earth. And in these Embassies, smart and talented Americans worked with and had relationships with all the governments on Earth. They actually talked with each other, us to them and them to us. This State Department sure went a long ways in keeping everybody on the same page and actually working together to make the world a better place. The State Department had handled thousands and thousands of similar cases such as this one, with no big headlines or patting themselves on the back. This State Department functioned wonderfully well for over 200 years.

But then Donald Trump became President and he dismantled this State Department. He said he was the only one who could do stuff. So now we have a State Department that is broken and being dismantled. But no Republicans seem to care very much.

And so it goes.

Jimmy thinks trump is an insecure, malignant narcissist who demands constant praise to make up for the fact that he knows deep down what a total piece of shit he is.
