They look like any other bunch of rich kleptocrats on parade. Remember when the Repubs thought Secretary of State HR Clinton’s official trips were embarrassing-bordering-on-treasonous?
Tillerson calls on Iran to affirm free speech while standing next to minister of Saudi government that State says represses free expression.

I guess it was too much to hope for that Bannon would join the sword dance and put his own (evil) eye out?

Everyone: Trump is an irresponsible manchild
Trumpkins: lol, u mad libtards?
Everyone: Shit, Trump just posted the nuclear launch codes on Twitter
Trumpkins: haha does that trigger you? better get to your safe space

Trumpkins: mmmm let me drink those sweet liberal tears, keep cryi- *vaporized by nuclear fireball*

“The Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology” is in Riyadh. Can we call it MiniDogma for short? Examples of Riyadh’s ideas of “Extremist Ideology”:

I saw that picture of Shitgibbon and the Saudi king holding the Lok-Nar or whatever and assumed it was a Photoshop from some onion article. If Obama had done that, the entire Republican party with lovely claimed that he was involved in a Satanic ritual.

I don’t think the shitgibbon looks very happy maybe even pissed off, bored? Sitting in the cart with arms folded, not good ‘optics’ ?

The man (and I use the term loosely here) is a Saturday morning cartoon villain. He has checked off every single villain trope since 1/20/17 except for “You have failed me for the last time” and I expect that one any day now.

@TenguPhule:
Isn’t that the Flynn firing? Or Comey? He just can’t kill people, only fire them in pathetically rude and crass ways.
TenguPhule
@Frankensteinbeck:
No, Flynn was fired because even Trump couldn’t keep him when the news broke, but he’s trying to bring him BACK.
Comey is the “Have you told anyone else?” trope.
Wanna bet?
Frankensteinbeck
@TenguPhule:
Yes, thank goodness. He can only have people killed under conditions like the war zone in Iraq, which does not fit the context of this conversation. If he could kill people, it would be damned obvious by now.

The best moment for me was bannon acting all flustered and scared around those muslins. rwnj’s stupid heads must be spinning to figure out wtf is happening after all the kill the muslims yelling at the twitler’s hatefests.

Anne, the first tweet you include in a post mentioning the Trump crime cartel makes a reference to Toby Keith? That works for me.

I would be surprised if the Info wars crowd starts that on Trump now over that picture. That is the tinfoil hat crowd.
