Our ass-clown in chief, going to meet with another ass clown, bringing an ass-clown celebrity with him - Rodman - who shows up in a T-SHIRT to advertise a business, specifically "Potcoin". Now, I'm a smoker from way back, got ZERO problem with pot. But if I'm going to meet a world leader, I'ma maybe not wear an advertising t-shirt. Maybe throw on my Sunday best, you know? Just the mental picture of Un, Trump and Rodman - let me repeat - KIM JONG UN, DONALD J TRUMP AND DENNIS FECKING RODMAN - sitting down to discuss world affairs.
I just can't even. I am literally and actually crying as I write this. I'm so sad for America, my heart hurts. It's not to believed, but here we are. Idiocracy come to life.

(54,256 posts)The first time I saw that movie I thought "We're already there."
And that was during W's regime.
I had no idea we would get closer.
That line is one my kids and I use on occasion. "Welcome to home (Costco), I love you." It still cracks us up. Well, it cracks me up, they probably just think I am senile.

(63,922 posts)the shit show not tonight I hate the fucking guy, go ahead and make one stupid comment and add to isolation of this once beautiful country. Mr Putin must be proud of don the con.
The world is watching this and saying WTF. He picks fight with our allies, and warms up to dictators and tyrants, and no discussion about human rights.

(3,115 posts)Idiot reality show asshole sucks up to dictators (including his boss, Pootie) and fucking POSES with ridiculous reality stars in the White House, defiling those once-hallowed halls.
"Should I be careful with long-held alliances at the G7 Summit?" NO! Tear them all to shreds and destroy the union. you fucking Russian cockholster.
"Should I enlist the help of a skilled diplomat for the North Korean summit?" NO! Invite Dennis Fucking Rodman instead.
"Who shall I consult for prison reform? An experienced advocate?" NO! Seek the advice of the idiotic Kim 'Piss on Me' Kardashian.
And the rest of the Pukes just lay there like the worthless dogs they are.
I can't stand it.

(772 posts)reform" for me. But this...a trump, Kim, Rodman meeting about the future of our PLANET!!?. This is beyond idiocracy. We're into Twilight Zone.
BTW, that we even have this word, idiocracy, in our language now is sad.
With the help of Pootie, this ridiculous-looking, orange, cotton-candy headed asshole has been given permission to deliver life-and-death decisions for us. And he's the biggest, bloated Pontius Pilate I've ever seen in my lifetime. And I lived through Ray-gun and Shrub!
Absorb that for a minute.

(15,358 posts)When 1,200 AM Hate Radio Stations in every fucking nook and cranny of this fucking country began broadcasting idiot wingnut shit 24/7 ... and not a wimper was made to counter it.
There's been 40 years of brainwashing that's led to this shitshow.
40% of this country is nothing but mind numbed racist bigots, glassy eyed, drool pouring down their chins, waiting for their next fix from whatever 12 radio stations operate in their area....oh... and they fucking vote.
We better wake the fuck up. You don't reason with these people...you fucking have to beat the ever loving shit out of them.

(3,266 posts)invitation of one of them. Its somehow even more ridiculous that he went there, at the bidding of no one, for no reason, other than to create a circus sideshow atmosphere. Egads. What a sad individual.
