Trump Hides from Protests in His Führerbunker

By NCD on Sat, 05/30/2020 - 12:10am |

Trump - Go Home, back to your Tower, you are a disaster. This will only get worse, on all fronts until Trump is gone.

Trump gloats over Wunderwaffe and cannot wait to use them on "professionally organized" protesters!

"The front line was replaced with fresh agents, like magic. Big crowd, professionally organized, but nobody came close to breaching the fence. If they had they would....have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen. That’s when people would have been really badly hurt, at least. Many Secret Service agents just waiting for action. “We put the young ones on the front line, sir, they love it" DJT

Good Ordnung. Ernst Rõhm would be here to congratulate the Stürmtruppen on their parade ground-like execution, but he was otherwise in disposed.

[somehow I pictured The Donald singing "Magic Bus", repeating "I want it, I want it, I want it...can't have it". Too much bleach, I imagine.]

Mutti tells Trump to get abgefuckt

German Chancellor Angela Merkel rebuffs @realDonaldTrump's invitation to G7, sensing trip to DC could be toxic — health-wise that is. #EU leaders also suspect Trump wants to use them for a photo op, as #US has done little traditional preparation for summit https://t.co/axccvHXM40

There's simply no fighting Disney World, it's a powerful tool. Never floated my boat as much as many but then I didn't like Star Wars much either (though a big Star Trek Next Generation fan)

This is so spectacular. Space exploration is the last great adventure we have left. Everything else is such a self-aborbed and petty food fight, just a replay of the boring and pointless conflicts of old. pic.twitter.com/UQ76Ig65ze

Is there some kind of spinoff space technology that'll tell us how many G's you can apply to a black man's neck before he asphyxiates? Sorry, I'm not feeling it. Guess the only space movies I liked were 2001, Silent Running & Galaxina. Seems space station and shuttle tech could be done on the cheap like this SpaceX stuff and do things like global warming & renewables instead.

Interesting. Fantasy and Sci fi are grouped together. Star wars was more towards the fantasy end of the genre while Star Trek much more Science Fiction. Generally speaking fantasy is more popular among women and sci fi more popular with men

DC Mayor, Trump a liar and a coward, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser :

Bowser said the president had “glorified violence” with his comments, saying they were “an attack on humanity and an attack on America, and they make our city less safe.” She said his Twitter posts harked back to some of the darkest scenes of the civil rights movement, when police unleashed attack dogs on peaceful black demonstrators.

“While he hides behind his fence afraid/alone, I stand w/ people peacefully exercising their First Amendment Right after the murder of #GeorgeFloyd & hundreds of years of institutional racism,” the mayor wrote of Trump. “There are no vicious dogs & ominous weapons. There is just a scared man. Afraid/alone.”

There's poor performance in the midst a crisis (think of, say, the mayor of a certain large city on the Eastern Seaboard) but when you're not even able or willing to go the motions of providing traditional leadership that seems like another level entirely.https://t.co/LcGuybIZGN pic.twitter.com/bJwolDWKU3
