Sonic Youth Gossip - Is Trump really a serious contender for the Republican nomination?

This morning I overheard a group of very angry (and either retired or unemployed) men talk about how great Syria withdraw was and how the "do-gooders" (that's an insult?) just "don't get it."

You and I and everyone knows that if Trump was sending 10,000 troops to Syria, they'd praise the move.

(But to be fair, the other side would probably instantly criticize it.)

----

Here's a great tweet from @Amy_Siskind:

Our country is so crazy now the Trump Shutdown is distracting from Jim Mattis resigning and his letter is distracting from our stock market hitting bear territory is distracting from 7,000 troops pulled from Syria is distracting from the Mueller probe and other investigations.

And Ginsberg had cancer surgery. Trump will get another SCOTUS pick in there before late 2020, I know it. Brace yourselves. Adopt the position.

I think First Step Act (prison reform bill) is fine bit of legislation, and signing it is the best thing Trump has done since taking office.

There. I said something nice about Cheeto.

Merry Christmas.

A bipartisan bill!! Isn't it wonderful?

Fuck it, I promise not to post here for 2 weeks after this post.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!! (That's a fuck-you to Trump.)

That "The Modern World" is fantastic.

I haven't seen any "Year in Review" clip thingies yet. A little scared to watch.

I think the experience will just be me saying "Oh, right. That unbelievably fucked up thing happened. I FORGOT" over and over.

Trump tweets he's "all alone (poor me)" on Christmas Eve as he spends the day attacking everyone from Democrats and the Fed to James Mattis
From Sunday morning to 1 p.m. ET on Monday, the president tweeted 23 times.

Message to the next administration official who will resign or be forced out: stand on the White House lawn and say to the cameras, "I desperately urge everyone watching this to bum rush this joint because EVEN WE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE".

I wonder how much Trump is actually enjoying this all, or if he's getting lost trying to count on his fingers how many days he could have left.

WASHINGTON — A former Blackwater Worldwide contractor accused of firing the first rounds in a mass shooting that killed more than a dozen unarmed civilians in a Baghdad traffic circle in 2007 was found guilty of one count of murder Wednesday.

Nicholas Slatten was found guilty of first-degree murder by a unanimous federal jury in the death of Ahmed Haithem Ahmed Al Rubia’y.

Donald J. Trump: ‏

"Saudi Arabia has now agreed to spend the necessary money needed to help rebuild Syria, instead of the United States. See? Isn’t it nice when immensely wealthy countries help rebuild their neighbors rather than a Great Country, the U.S., that is 5000 miles away. Thanks to Saudi A!"

Saudi Arabia clarifies Trump tweet: No new Saudi pledges to rebuild Syria

The Saudi Air Force is armed and trained by us, and Boeing has “a $480 million contract for service repairs to the fleet.” The new acting Secretary of Defense Patrick M. Shanahan is a 30-year veteran of Boeing who, until now, has been recusing himself for decisions related to the defense contractor. It won’t be long before Boeing finds itself in a public relations disaster.
