Zuck is planning on re-branding the enterprise as MyFace.
fascistbook is available. It’s what I call them anyway.
Yes. That’s right. Very good my dear Squirrel-T. I appoint you sub-lieutenant of nut harvests.
Jealous!
The nomination was placed on the floor back in May.
I hereby nominate “Chimpy” as the Official TPM Mascot™.
Do I hear a second from the floor?
The Parliamentarian agreed that “Robert’s Rules of Order” were strictly followed.
(Just before he legislatively milkshaked Matt Gaetz.)
Ooooohh. I’m sure a Erdogan is terrified.
OT, Ari Melber just announced that Michael McKinley, Pompeo’s senior advisor at State, is going to testify in the House.
Steel tariffs. That’s all he could fucking come up with?!?
He’s been doing that one a lot, so he doesn’t have to wrack his brain to come up with something new. Does Turkey even produce steel? But, in all seriousness, Trump didn’t originate that. Erdogan told him on the phone call how to “destroy Turkey’s economy” in response to the upcoming slaughter they were no doubt having a chuckle over.
onder if Erdogan is threatening to release anything damning or highly embarrassing about MB
Like Trump saying “Let MbS off the hook, I’ll owe you one. The Kurds? Deal!”
Followed his gut that’s filled with McDonald’s hamberders and fried chicken.
Ewww.
Putin must be thrilled that the two largest armies in NATO are having irreconcilable differences.
Steel tariffs. That’s all he could fucking come up with?!?
I know. That’s pretty lame.
I know a much better way for Chiselin’ Trump to destroy the Turkish economy, and it’s guaranteed to work. All he has to do is get Erdogan to agree to convert the Turkish economy into a Chiselin’ Trump-managed casino. Problem solved!
You know, he’s a fucking moron. What else is new???
Word has come back from the front that upon receipt of this news, Turkish soldiers in mid-massacre threw down their guns and ran home crying.
Destroying the economy of a country is an act of war. Turkey is not only an ally, it is a NATO ally.
That could be interesting…
“…Trump’s statement said he’d authorized sanctions on anyone “contributing to Turkey’s destabilizing actions in northeast Syria.””
He’s going to sanction himself then?
OT, Ari Melber just announced that Michael McKinley, Pompeo’s senior advisor at State, is going to testify in the House.
Dice are rolling, the knives are out…
