And these are the people who still no doubt make fun of Bill Clinton's notorious reference to "the meaning of is." Our right-wingers are among the most cynical, utterly relativistic people on the planet. And their relativism isn't simply a matter of wanting to be lax about this or that -- it's a key strategy that facilitates their viciously retrograde agenda. They're building a bridge to the Paleolithic, not trying to "conserve" anything good about human nature or modern civilization.

This Trump fellow. He doesn't seem to be very good at the criming. He should probably not do it.

“Perpetrating” = perpetuating? But even perpetuating doesn’t work. Enabling? Broadcasting? Disseminating? Words matter.

Robert Eckert's avatar

To "perpetrate" is to "commit" an act, generally a bad act. "Perp walk" is from the short form of "perpetrator."

I think maybe he was trying to use a fancier word than "continuing" for some reason.

Representing Trump in court is definitively a weird kink, as Evan said, but so too is “Trump spokesperson.” How little dignity must you have to debase yourself by saying impossibly stupid lies on behalf of someone so vile. Yeesh.

These hunts aren’t baseless, and Trump is definitely a witch.

America. We needed his gentle touch.

"Trump...said to her, “You don’t know anything about the boxes.”

But did he do the hypnotic suggestion Jedi hand sign at the same time while speaking the words?

If he did use the hand signal he failed.

Worst. Jedi. Ever.

A long time ago, a Chinese linguist demonstrated to an emperor that Chinese did indeed utilize tones in giving words meaning. Something about “wise advisor” with one set of tones and “horse’s ass,” with different tones. We don’t think we have tones in English but think of all the ways you can say “mom.” I’m scared: Mooooom! Joey just stole my cookie: Mo-om! Stop embarrassing me in front of my friends: mo….om. Is that you coming home with groceries? Mom? So when Trump said “You don’t know anything about boxes,” the meaning was in the tones. And the meaning was not ambiguous.

"These aren't the droids we're looking for."

"Gosh, Obi Wan! How do you do that?"

"The Force gives me power over weak minds."

"The Force gives you power over weak minds!"

"Shut up and drive on!"

"Shut up and drive on!"

And you, sir, have won…yes! Obstruction of justice!

Massive applause.

I still don't understand why the FBI hasn't turned every inch of every Trump property, including Ivanka's grave, upside down and shaken it for government property and classified information.

Probable cause. He's getting the same rights as a drug dealer.

And a few billion dollars in bribes and "fees" he charged America and unindicted other countries for the service of stealing extra greatly.

IVANA IS DEAD, her daughter is not, afaik.

TBF, there is no Ivanka. Both of them are Ivana Marie and there is no way to tell them apart other than by posture.

I got a kick out of some wag who once edited her wiki page and named her "Ivana Jr."

What bullshit you spew. Ivanka is married to Jared, and has been cited many, many times in public that way for years. You are saying there is no Bill Clinton, because his name is actually William Jefferson Clinton (né Blythe III; born August 19, 1946). Grow the fuck up.

AIB's avatar

We don’t talk to each other like that. Moderate your language or leave. Also, learn what sarcasm is.

Phried Ω's avatar

I'm charmed to make your acquaintance and I revel in my immaturity. May I never grow up to be like you.

1st light's avatar

You won't, because of your immaturity.
