The whining continues apace. Trump woke up this morning and remembered he was married and is now bitching and moaning that the commie/lib fashion press has snubbed the First Lady.
He's out of his mind. That tweet was well summed up:
A day before unemployment benefits for millions of Americans were set to expire, President Donald Trump had a different insult in mind: his former-model wife has yet to appear on the cover of a fashion magazine as first lady.

She's not unattractive. I hadn't previously considered magazine cover appearances as an index of rad-lib bigotry, but now that The Donald has brought it up, it is sort of an intellectually interesting concept.

He is, of course, totally out of his f*cking mind, but we knew that.

We shouldn't jump to conclusions. Maybe the magazines called and she said no. Someone should phone them and ask.

The latest from the deranged President:
Quote
Trump called Saturday for "common sense" as he chided states for imposing new lockdown restrictions to confront a wave of infections that has led to record levels of hospitalization and death across the country.
"The lockdowns in Democrat run states are absolutely ruining the lives of so many people - Far more than the damage that would be caused by the China Virus," Trump tweeted.
Trump went on to falsely claim that Republican-led states like Florida, many of which have resisted enacting new measures to control a surge of cases, were "open & doing well." Florida reported more than 17,000 new cases and 142 additional deaths over a two-day span on Saturday.
Amazing, sad, criminal.

The Nobel peace committee, a very liberal left-wing group, awarded Obama the Peace Prize before he even started as president.  Who's crazy?  Of course, most media is liberal and support people on the left.  It's been going on for a long time, way before Trump and Melania. We who notice these things are not crazy.  The rest think these people deserve the awards and notoriety.

Alan is of course WRONG again and does not have a clue about Earth 1’s history. 🤔

The first inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States took place on Tuesday, January 20, 2009.

The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States President Barack Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people".[1] The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation[2] and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world.

Who's crazy? Got a mirror handy? 😜

What has Obama getting the Nobel peace prize got to do with fashion magazines not giving Melania a magazine cover? You say you notice these things, exactly which fashion magazines do you subscribe to?

Alan, do you feel cancelled because Melania didn’t get on the cover of a fashion magazine? Are you the real victim here?

He's just making stuff up as he goes along. Fact checking Alan's posts is getting to be a full time job here.

In total amazement I realized this morning that Trump refused to sign the relief bill because it didn't contain the proposal made by Democrats to allocate a higher % of the amount to low income families?

Who is the socialist Alan?

I would personally agree with this common sense measure, but we see once more how opportunistic the support of many Republican voters to Trump was... he never was a Republican.

Cheers,
Bernard

I've said many times that Trump is a spender.  He's a populist, not a Republican,  who wants to satisfy the voters' needs to get everything for free.  He believes in debt as a real estate developer.  So sure, he wants to spend other's money. That's Socialism.  Problem is Biden and the democrats are worse. If they win the Senate, we'll see $5000 giveaways and guaranteed salaries for everyone.  Biden's new Treasurer ex-Fed chairwoman Yellen will have the Fed print until the cows come home and destroy the dollar.

I think this whole brouhaha about the amount is that he's looking to run in 2024.  Or he just wants to stick his finger in Republican's eyes as a go-away present for crapping on him for five years. What goes around, comes around.

And I remember when bread was 21 cents a loaf.

That's not very presidential. Not even mature and dignified.

The root cause is that we give freebies to illegals.

the voters' needs to get everything for free.

Is that how you view yourself Alan; just a human sponge looking for free stuff from the labor of others whenever possible? Do you derive no personal satisfaction or pleasure from your own efforts in life and would happily just sit around doing nothing if society would just give you enough stuff for free? Don't you have pride in your own work and the rewards that you derive from it over time? Is it just a necessary burden that you've had to work to provide for yourself and your family, which you would avoid if you could?

Why did your relatives immigrate to this country—was it in hope of becoming citizens in a country where they could then vote themselves a handout? Or is just those other people who are lazy freeloading asylum seekers, immigrants, and voters—that aren't like you and your family? Just curious if you see yourself as being the same as these other people that you talk about that have no pride, no desire to make life better for their families thru hard work, and no self-respect—just open hands.

The Christian Right may be having a crisis of confidence in their Trump election prophecies, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfDouDlHM88. I can understand why.

Trump may not be their best buddy after all, https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/10/the-evangelical-movements-bad-bargain/616760/, but then it was a deal with the devil from day one so they should have know it was going to go wrong.

In the meantime, the stress resulting from overfilled hospitals in California caused one C19 patient to attack and kill another patient.

Quote
An 82-year-old man hospitalized for COVID-19 in California was beaten to death last week by a fellow patient angered by the elderly man’s praying in their shared hospital room, authorities said. Jesse Martinez, 37, was arrested and charged with elder abuse and murder with a hate crime enhancement in connection to the Dec. 17 killing at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

Martinez and the victim did not know one another before they were hospitalized in the same room for issues related to the coronavirus. When his roommate started to pray, Martinez allegedly became upset and struck him with an oxygen tank.

Common sense seems to be a rare thing amongst (some?) Trump supporters:

Bart,

This is off-topic but I thought you'd enjoy this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0intLFzLaudFG-xAvUEO-A. It is the brainchild of a Canadian engineer who lives in Amsterdam and it is all about the sensible urban design there and especially how the city manages urban transportation. He's from London, Ontario and often uses his native city to compare with Amsterdam. It caught my eye because I lived in London for a couple of years a lifetime ago.

Well, that incident is clearly Donald "Whiny Baby" Trump's fault. I went over to his Twitter feed, which I occasionally do just because, but it looks like he set his phone on repeat because he keeps retweeting the same couple of videos, which I am not about to watch but which his supporters can't seem to get enough of, along with some dumbass tweet of his own, which I guess makes his supporters get so excited they pee in their pants. Since you can't guess what it was about, let me give you a hint: massive voter fraud on the one hand, and denying Americans their $600 stimulus checks and $300/week federal unemployment benefits on the other. So he is going to hold out for $2000 stimulus checks which even his most ardent suck-up kiss-ass sycophants in Congress are never going to pass. He knows that. He is just going to dick everyone around because he can. Merry Fucking Christmas to you too. And of course there is that handy foreclosure moratorium provision in the bill, so not only will nobody get any money, but moms and dads and children and pets will all be going down to the park for an extended camping trip. Meanwhile patients are killing other patients in the COVID wards, because this is America, home of the free and land of the brave. I am surprised the young guy didn't shoot the old guy. Hitting someone over the head with an oxygen tank is a lot of work. Have you ever tried to pick up one of those oxygen tanks? What a sorry-ass excuse for a human being, Trump I mean. I hope when he shuts down the country, he shuts off the electricity in Florida, so his supporters won't be able to recharge their golf carts and can't go driving around with Trump flags and Blowjobs for Trump placards yelling "white power." That's what I hope. I hope some other stuff too but since it Christmas time I'll keep it to myself, but you can probably guess. Have a nice day.

Thanks Robert,

It's a nice series about Amsterdam from a foreign perspective.

Meanwhile, the Trump crazy are saying:
Quote
L. Lin Wood, a conservative attorney and staunch Trump ally, seemed to suggest on Friday that Georgia's Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler should be arrested ahead of the state's critical runoff race
​
In a tweet on Friday, Wood also urged Republicans to "break" the election in the state by refusing to vote, attaching a plan which repeats debunked allegations of voter fraud. 

Release the kraken.  :D
