World contemplates Armageddon, Trump goes golfing: Today in Tweets

The Golf Course of Trumpy Delights by Hieronymus Bosch

By David Futrelle

Good news everyone! A day after scaring the shit out of everyone in the world, particularly those living on the Korean peninsula or in Guam, our dear illegitimate president managed to work a game of golf into his otherwise busy empty schedule.

That story leads our Twitter roundup today. There are also some cute animals, but they come later.

Trump also found time today to post a “video” of the song “God Bless the USA” that was basically nothing more than a series of pictures of … himself.

I wonder if this is what the “good news about Trump” packets he reportedly gets delivered to him twice a day look like.

Trump may have been able to move on from the whole North Korea/possible nuclear Armageddon thing but not everyone else has.  Luckily this alt-right icon shithead has a solution!

    Eh. WalMart deserves absolutely no benefit of the doubt. They’re shitty for selling guns in the first place. Not to mention their labor practices and their method of opening up a store in a small town, reducing the prices to drive local business out, then raising their prices once that’s accomplished and then frequently abandoning the store, leaving the town’s economy devastated.

    @wwth, re: Walmart

    This gives me bad feelings for the small town my uni’s in. There’s a Walmart there (I was there once due to needing to obtain a bandeau), and while I didn’t check the ramen price (my usual way of measuring these things), the prices do seem to be fairly low.

    That said, it’s pretty far from the small-town part (if we’re talking walking–if I want to go, I have to take a bus or sneak a ride), and it’s in direct competition with a Kroger that’s closer to the town than it. And last I checked, the local IGA is just fine.

    Let’s hope that holds steady…

    Oh dear. I saw that Walmart picture earlier today and was hoping it was just a very unfortunate angle on a sign that was actually further back in the store. (Our local Walmart doesn’t sell firearms so I’m not familiar enough with what a gun section might look like to tell if it was a trick of perspective or not)

    Maybe just some customer with a 4chan-level sense of humor…but how did they get it up there?!

    I think if it were official merchandising there would probably be more pictures of it from various walmarts.

    52% of Republicans would be in favor of postponing the 2020 elections if Trump said it was necessary for national security

    A lot of liberals feared Dubya would do something like that with the 2008 elections but I never bought into that. As terrible as he was, he was reigned in by more level headed (though just as awful) cabinet members and advisers.

    Trump though? I could see him trying it and I could see his staff doing nothing to stop it.

    I envision continued Republican advocacy of suppressing voting rights, both through institutional and extra-legal means as more likely than an outright attempt to postpone a presidential election. That’s historically more the consistent mode of operating for white supremacists in American history.

    Yesterday, I posted a link to an article about Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) making a comment that John McCain’s brain cancer influenced his vote on the vote to take health insurance away from millions of USians. People here responded that of course his vote was influenced by the cancer, that obviously it had made him more aware of the need for health insurance. This is NOT what Sen. Johnson said. He claimed that the combination of the brain tumor and the fact that the vote occurred at 1:30 in the morning made McCain confused and unclear as to what his vote would mean.

    About half of Republicans say they would support postponing the 2020 presidential election until the country can fix this problem.

    So, in other words, until the twelfth of never, because the “voter fraud” problem is imaginary.

    Republicans, of course, aren’t the least bit concerned about the actually-existing voter suppression problem. It’s what wins them elections.

    Notice they didn’t phrase the question as “until the country can make sure that all registered American citizens can vote”. It’s “only eligible American citizens”. Translation: white, and Republican.

    I seem to recall that the Constitution and the US Code mandate four-year presidential terms and the appointment of state electors at the end of each term. If electors aren’t selected by ballot box, then the task falls to state legislatures. Postponing an election for any reason would require extraordinary justification, would likely be challenged in court (assuming we still have courts in 2020), and would amount to a coup.

    Still, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to try and pull something like that, if he gets desperate enough. Right now, the Presidency is the only thing protecting him from a lifetime in an orange jumpsuit. He’s not going to give up the office without a fight.

    I saw that article in the WaPo and made a scathing reply. The idea that a raise in the minimum wage can be characterized as a “Free Lunch” just stinks of entitlement. (Although, to be fair, she was quoting a conservative pundit at first — but then she “owned” it.)

    Sen. Ron Johnson clearly missed McCain doing EXACTLY what he wanted to. I saw absolutely no confusion, and I was watching C-Span live (for almost the first time ever, surely the longest I’ve ever watched it live).

    Fuck Sen. Enzi, as well, for not allowing questions of any sort during his stupid mini-filibuster. All it did was delay the vote until 1:30. Perhaps helping McCain decide that the rest of the Republicans weren’t legislating in good faith. Murkowski and Collins still deserve tons of credit for voting against the Republican Only healthcare bills, too.

    I just finished watching the Wal Mart video wwth posted. A fair amount of that stuff is SOP for most any national chain retailer. The wage theft, under-staffing, lawsuits? Saw all of that at the national craft and fabric chain I worked at for ten years. Even so, I maintain that they’re one of the better retail employers. And. That’s. SAD.

    Shortly after I started working there in 2000, they settled a class action lawsuit involving unpaid overtime of salaried workers (keyholders.) I got notification about a year before I quit of another lawsuit over shorted breaks and lunch periods for hourly workers. Did I join it? Hell no! I figured the district and store managers might very well find out who did join and make their lives harder. Don’t know if I was right or not; wasn’t going to take the chance.

    Like I said, SAD! But heaven forfend that businesses have to be regulated to prevent these sorts of abuses.

    Hey buddy, I have seen so many friends leave this site because we had a more permissive comments policy.

    This place is a lot less volatile than it used to be, thanks in no small part to the comments policy.

    You don’t gotta like it. I’m not asking you to like it. But it’s there for a reason and that’s not because we’re all bleeding-heart liberals. So please respect it. You wanna wish terrible things on Trump, go do it somewhere else — and probably not in writing if you’re in the US, because it’s a felony to wish harm to the President.

    Hambeast,

    Yeah, WalMart is by no means the only offender. But because they are such a big employer, they are one of the biggest instigator in the race to the bottom. So that’s why I think they’re good to focus on. I certainly wasn’t implying they were unique. I wish!

    I know that before the ACA was put in place, the biggest demographic of people on state health care assistance was WalMart employees in a lot of states. I’m not sure if this is still true.

    Anyone else notice the right’s massive goalpost shifting on who they think deserves not to live in poverty? They used to say “get a job!” Then as wages stagnated and it kept being brought up that the majority of households living in poverty or near poverty did have at least one working adult in them, they started saying “go to college so you can get a better job!” Then the great recession hit. A lot of good paying jobs never came back. Tons of college graduates do not have good paying jobs. So they had to change it again. Now it’s only people who majored in the right things (like computer science) that aren’t asking to be poor. As more and more people major in STEM and positions in those fields gets scarcer, I wonder where they are going to shift next. Will they finally come out and say what they really think? That only the people who are born with money deserve to have it?

    …one wouldn’t expect police state cheerleading from a Denmark company

    We’ve got our own problems, believe me. E.g. recently a government agency apparently suppressed information, which lead to surveillance software being sold to oppressive regimes (e.g. the UAE); something which was supposed to be specifically outlawed.

    We have a minister of immigration, who has blatantly broken the law and outright lied to the people and the parliament, but our parliament seems to think it’s no big deal, so she’s still there. She’s doing what the right-wing fuckheads want, so they’re shielding her. So much for law and order.

    Meanwhile, our minister of food and environment was caught making deals with the fishing lobby, so he’s been censured, but of course he’s still minister. So, effectively, no change.

    Of course, none of this would be true if people could remember that our minister of state was caught with his hand in the cookie jar a few years back. Apparently, whatever back-room deal he struck got everyone to forget about it. Fancy trick.

    Basically, using the two threats of “foreign people are dangerous” and “poor people are cheating”, people are being herded into the gorge of narrow-minded nationalism and downright corruption.

    If you’re waiting for us to save you, start thinking of a plan B.

    This is likely in the WalMart video above (I haven’t watched it), but I’ve heard comments that when you get right down to it, WalMart is the biggest beneficiary in the U.S. of food benefits programs like SNAP and TANF. Basically:
    – WalMart underpays their staff so much that large numbers of them need food benefits.
    – WalMart stores handle EBT payments, and their staff can get employee discounts (also in many cases WalMart may be the only useful grocery store in the area); as a result most of those food benefits get spent back at WalMart.
    End result, WalMart is essentially being subsidized by the federal government to continue underpaying their own employees.
