its hilarious that putin or xi could literally pull that orange turds pants down and fuck him on live TV and conservatives would justify it as totally normal
They had nothing to say when Trump saluted a North Korean General.
They lost their minds when Obama had a Marine hold his umbrella.
Obama saluting a little too casually with a cup in his hand.
something something wrong hand!
completely ignores actual regulations that specifically call for times when saluting with the opposite hand from normal
Up until Reagan, no President saluted his guards.
On the other hand, Obama did steal Reagan’s walking down that long corridor to the podium schtick.
As long as they keep calling him “the best” and “good boy”.

Republicans can never be trusted again with the presidency.
Not until they can clear the rampant conflicts of interest that repeatedly come up, for sure.
Can’t be bothered to prevent the issue, and constantly nominate a shill… so why would you give them an easy out?
They can’t
foreign leaders treated Trump like a “chump” and quickly discovered they could manipulate him by boosting his ego.
Flattery and pomp from leaders like Xi, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Russian president Vladimir V. Putin seem to have been all that was required to get in Trump’s good graces
Under no circumstances should this imbecile be allowed to be president, of anything, ever.
Can we stop with the fucking ads please?
Trump, however, had other ideas.
That one line was sandwiched between a video ad and a box asking for my email address. I’d rather have zero access to news stories without a subscription than to have all the goddamned pop ups and online ads that break up the story. The worst are the fucking pop up videos that auto play and follow you down the screen. WHOTHEFUCKWANTSTHATSHIT?!?
not using ad blocker eh. thats gotta be painful
No, I’ve got an adblocker. Even the sites that block them still have chunks of empty boxes that break up the text.
And why is it on me to block the ads? Why can’t news organizations just not be shitty? I understand they need revenue, but that doesn’t mean I should have to comb through shit to find the story.

Thing is, how would you suggest they get their revenue without ads?
I’m not saying there should be no ads, I’m saying the site should feature the article and not the ads.
Trump said he was ready for a “historic” deal with China as the leaders kicked off their meeting and Xi told him “dialogue” was better than confrontation AFP / Brendan Smialowski
Former Trump national security adviser H.R. McMaster has written a new bookfilled with disparaging stories about his former boss, and the New York Times reports that it even features of a story of the former president being blatantly manipulated by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The incident in question came during a visit to China in November of 2017 in which McMaster tried to warn Trump against letting Xi make him stray from his prepared talking points.
Trump, however, had other ideas.
“In the Great Hall of the People, the president strayed from his talking points,” according to the Times’s report. “He agreed with Xi that military exercises in South Korea were ‘provocative’ and a ‘waste of money’ and suggested that China might have a legitimate claim to Japan’s Senkaku Islands. McMaster, his stomach sinking, passed a note to Gen. John Kelly, the chief of staff: Xi ‘ate our lunch,’ it read.”

McMaster also says that foreign leaders treated Trump like a “chump” and quickly discovered they could manipulate him by boosting his ego.
“Flattery and pomp from leaders like Xi, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Russian president Vladimir V. Putin seem to have been all that was required to get in Trump’s good graces,” writes the Times.
“In 2018, McMaster found Trump in the Oval Office scrawling a cheerful note to Putin across a New York Post article reporting that the Russian president had denigrated the American political system but called Trump a good listener. Like a child with his Christmas wish list, the leader of the free world asked McMaster to send it to the Kremlin.”
Looking forward, writes the Times, McMaster questions whether the 78-year-old Trump is still able to “perform well the sometimes grueling job of president” and he notes that Trump seven years ago became “tired” by a 13-day trip to Asia.
McMaster also says that foreign leaders treated Trump like a “chump” and quickly discovered they could manipulate him by boosting his ego.
The motherfucker still speaks about his “great relationship” with these leaders, completely oblivious to the fact that it was nothing more than simple flattery intended to manipulate him. I know we all know he’s a moron, but sometimes you forget just how fucking simple-minded he is.
Simple minded but also so desperately needy for approval. His sack of shit dad really did a number on him.
How are you using the internet without uBlock Origin? o_O
(I also recommend Google Sign-in Popup Blocker on Firefox. And as others have mentioned, Reader mode is nice.)
Have you met Reader View?
Firefox+uBlock Origin+built in simplified reader mode will net you no ads on that site. You’re really doing yourself a disservice by not using those tools.
Rawstory has an ad-blocker blocker. So your choices are use an archive site, or find the reader view in your browser.
If they do it doesn’t work on ublock origin and firefox because I don’t see ads on that site.
Clearly you need a blocker blocker blocker!
What if they start blocking the blocker blocker blocker?
I guess you need to find some form of psychic tech dolphin
I do! . . . Now
I’m sure someone here will get the reference
Ah. I was hoping it was literal… Like Xi just took Trump’s lunch from him and ate it.
That wouldn’t make sense unless Trump’s lunch was a jar with “hunny” written on it.
It wasn’t his literal lunch but then again maybe that too since I doubt Trump would eat Chinese food in China.
It was a pot of honey.
This is a brilliant joke that works on multiple levels
[Trump] suggested that China might have a legitimate claim to Japan’s Senkaku Islands.
The weird old orange felon thinks he is a genius, and so does his moron base.
