~5% of the time Mike Luckovich creates c/slop content. The rest of the time it’s just very bad.
Wow Trump portrayed as a coward, no one has ever said this before, bold, visionary even.
And he’s orange
I will say though in reality it’s pretty funny they loaded the press pool up on the decoy plane, he must have been like, so long suckers!
It’s some looney tunes level hijinks
have they tried making him gay yet?
TACO trump too scared to nuke Iran lol
istg liberals really do just hate him because he’s an improper white nationalist who’s making fellow white nationalists look bad, and not because he’s a white nationalist
fuck them slave owners, death to ameriKKKa
Fuck i don’t like this much at all.
Someone do the cum edit
Thank you very much
That’s two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Mike Luckovich!
You’d think liberals would love a chance to bash Jefferson Davis for crossdressing his way to safety, but I guess they don’t know about that one anymore. Maybe they wistfully long for the days of Jefferson Davis the way they do for George W. Bush.
Crossdressing you way to safety is a classic literary motif, more people should do it. I want to see more of that.
It’s the intersection of the Venn diagram of Shakespeare comedies and kung fu movies, that’s how timeless it is.
Kelly please dunk on this ho
Which Kelly?
The one from Saved by the Bell or the one from Beverly Hills 90210?
Into the Kellyverse
A more accessible prequel to Being John Malkovich
Hooo buddy
To be fair Washington was probably a worse person than Trump that slaving genocidal monster.
Trump would definitely own slaves were that an option. But that’s probably true for most presidents.
Some of the modern ones actually did:

This isn’t even slop, it’s just like a slight discoloration on the floor tile. You adjust your stride to avoid stepping on it but you’re not sure that it would’ve mattered.
Oh well, you stop thinking about it. It wasn’t important to begin with.
Ok, this is the second time today that I’ve seen Trump depicted as hiding in a rolling cart.
Wtf is the context here?

Trump hid in catering truck in secret plane swap over Iran threat
Donald Trump secretly swapped planes as he left a Nato summit in Turkey last month, as part of an elaborate ruse in response to a possible Iranian threat. The US president boarded Air Force One in view of television cameras before being transported to a military aircraft with the help of a catering truck. Journalists and some White House staff on board did not know he had been smuggled out.
I like the response wasn’t to not fly the plane, it was just to swap planes and let the people on board the targeted plane die.
he was hoping to give a smug press conference where he would grin while he talked about how sad it is that all those press corps members died because of the evil Iranian regime
I read in one article about this that “not even some members of the media” knew he switched planes, and I think the outrage about that is what’s making it such a big deal
Having them die was an ultimate sacrifice Trump was willing to make.
But is the media actually outraged? They’re pretty fucking stupid and I think they believe no foreign enemy could actually take out Air Force One. Their “logic” being American exceptionalism makes that happening impossible.
It only clicked for me after you said this. I thought journalists weren’t told as in they just weren’t told ahead of time like a change of schedule (media working dick in hand with the govt and all).
Not that it was journalists ON THE PLANE not told about the ol’ switcheroo. I can get why they’d be incensed by that
Karoline Leavitt was the White House press secretary and 100% loyal toady to Trump. She was on the decoy plane and she resigned the next day - https://hexbear.net/post/9288087
This is part of what made me realise the full situation. This is Trump 2, even if you didn’t know this was going to happen exactly, you know what vibes you’re signing up for
Every betrayed Trump true believer has to reinvent the wheel for themselves. How could Trump do that to me!
I can’t take this so-called assassination attempt seriously. It has to be fake to drum up war support.
I don’t think it was orchestrated by Trump since he legitimately looks panicked and pathetic, as opposed to when he got his ear-pierced. More likely he’s just increasingly paranoid and frightened of his own mortality.
Eh, whatever the case, it’s all just bullshit to me. I don’t trust anything from America
I already know what Charlie Hebdo’s version of this would be
