I have just watched Trump's presser with the poor Finnish President at his side and I literally

[Atticus]

can't think of anything to post that you haven't heard or read hundreds of times since January twenty-first, 2016.

We knew then that he was willfully ignorant and a moral pygmy. We knew then that he was an arrogant racist and misogynist. We have learned since then that he is a greedy pathological liar with a mean streak a mile wide and absolutely no sense of shame.

We now know that he is insane---mentally unbalanced---totally unhinged and divorced from reality.

Everything that I've just typed could have been said daily for the past three years.

The only political policy statement I am interested in hearing at this point is "WHATEVER it takes!"

Senate Republicans should not be able to step out of their homes or offices without being loudly confronted by irate crowds DEMANDING that they convict and remove Trump. The Capitol should be surrounded by people vowing not to leave until Trump is gone. Pennsylvania Avenue should be blocked by protestors daily for several hours.

Trump-supporting Republican Congressmen should have their district offices picketed, their phone lines and websites swamped with complaints and be the subject of negative letters to the editor in every local paper.

If we are not pissed off enough by now to get in-their-face "nasty", let's turn out the lights and stop pretending we give a rat's ass about our children's future.

Rant over.

1. The expression on the Finland President's face was priceless!!

How do you say WTF in Finnish?

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. Mit vittua?!

We should get some lip readers on this.

ETA: No idea why the title won't include the ä character. Maybe it's my computer? The phrase is "mitä vittua"

[Mme. Defarge]

6. LMFAO!

[struggle4progress]

10. +

[softydog88]

54. Mit vittua.

It's not your computer.

[Pacifist Patriot]

55. Now I'm intrigued.

Wonder why it works in the message text box, but not in the reply title box.

[struggle4progress]

57. I think the Admins plugged a security weakness in the website

[bdamomma]

4. He had Finland's President there???

These leaders from other countries are shaking their heads saying

how embarrassing for all of us to have this idiot, in other countries they would run him out of the country.

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. If I were a foreign leader with plans to visit the US any time soon, I'd be canceling my trip.

[littlemissmartypants]

24. Exactly. nt

[3catwoman3]

35. Damn straight.

I would not want to be within 100 yards of the jackass.

[Historic NY]

63. Indeed......

[struggle4progress]

11. Only as a prop, it seems

[dawg day]

33. He did okay in the introduction summarizing the meeting-

though he said Finland not being in NATO (which of course he has no understanding of WHY) "saves you a lot of money." Har-de-har, gratuitous slam at our best allies.

Then of course meltdown mania. These poor foreign leaders... "I wish I'd come four years ago when it would be productive and fun and the president wouldn't be foaming at the mouth near me."

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. Typical for trump to have a pawn with him to hopefully

minimize questions. Doesn't work but helps trump mock press for not asking the other leader anything.

[Brother Buzz]

7. In my perfect world, when the orange blob said Finland is the happiest country...

Finland's president would have responded. "Yes, and that's because we LOVE and embrace democratic socialism."

[NurseJackie]

22. That would be priceless...

[leftstreet]

8. Was this him?

OMG, that picture just made my day!

[littlemissmartypants]

26. Hilarious!

[littlemissmartypants]

27. Perfect!

[cilla4progress]

34. Saw that.

He's having none of this.

[rizlaplus]

43. Here you go:

MITÄ VITTUA!

[Upthevibe]

61. I just saw the picture a little while ago and OMG!

The look on that man's (the Finland President) face! I could almost hear his mind saying, "Someone PLEASE get me the FU** out of here!

[peggysue2]

3. You can only wonder . . .

what Finland's President was thinking while enduring that spectacle. And you're right, Atticus. It was a replay of Trump's favorite hits laced with panic and rage at everything exposed about his 'perfect' conversation. A Master Class in gaslighting and propaganda.

Trump does Meltdown in living color.

[LiberalLovinLug]

38. It will be nice to finally, hopefully, get to a point where other world leaders don't have to

put on such a brave face for the POTUS. That its a matter of endurance for them to put on their "Trump" face. Its like having a guest over knowing they will have to put up with your drunk idiot step dad who demands to be the center of attention (and who's probably wearing a MAGA cap)

Because they are dealing with a man who is stupider than they are, and stupider than most Finns and Americans. And someone that is also incredibly arrogant and narcissistic. So they have to tip toe around him. Dare not even make a joke about anything for fear it may be taken the wrong way, and they find themselves in a trade war or something. But they HAVE to play nice because he represents the US, and all the power and potential harm it could do, and has a compliant Senate licking his golf shoes backing him up.

I'm sure many of them will be happy for the day they don't have to sit with a smile pasted on their face and pretend they have even a shred of respect for the American President.

[Boomerproud]

5. The OP is correct.

SHAME on the enablers and supporters. ALL OF THEM!

[Pepsidog]

12. In Trump's words, that was a "Perfect" rant.

[EveHammond13]

13. here's some of it

[tavernier]

21. With the sound off (can't stand his voice)

he looks TOTALLY insane.

[barbtries]

29. because he is.

would love to see some footage of the poor guy from Finland. how awkward for him.

[llmart]

23. OMG! That was hard to watch...

What was the title of Omarosa's book again? Yeah, that's the word.

This guy is completely UNHINGED. Call the men in the white coats.

[NurseJackie]

25. It's this and more...

[soldierant]

59. That entire sceene is just magnificent,

like Greek tragedy. Bogart may be the best. But the others are no slouches. The pain on their faces watching the madness of a man who was once a fine officer.

No one will ever look a Trump that way, for he was never anything but a thug and a madman

[littlemissmartypants]

30. He looks like he's about to blow a gasket.

A girl can dream. :sigh:

[3catwoman3]

37. Was his face really that color?

That looks like a BP of 300/150 ready to blow (any time would be fine, please).

[MontanaMama]

44. OMFG.

This is so embarrassing. "Skin piercing spikes"? Does he spend his executive time thinking this shit up?

[Blue_true]

58. We can laugh at him if we want to. He is getting his message out to MAGATS and undecideds.

His message, don't trust anyone in Washington but him. He distorts information in a way to make himself look persecuted. The man is a very dangerous demagogue. I am sure many laughed at a rising Hitler in his day. Don't laugh at a person like Trump, methodically remove him from office either via our Constitution directly, or the other tool our Cobstitution gives us, VOTE HIM OUT!!!

[Atticus]

65. Another view: laughing at Trump seems to be the most effective way to

"discombobulate" him. He gets pissed and starts flailing and sometimes blurts out some thing that may help us get rid of him.

[Blue_true]

69. Voting him out is the only sure way.

He would have to committ treason not to go. We can't have people that claim to be on our side behaving like assholes because their choice didn't win the nomination for President.

[ffr]

This is going to inspire a boat load of “The President of Finland’s Thought Bubbles” memes.

[Atticus]

18. Yes. Thanks. My bad. nt

[spanone]

17. Here comes round two.....

19. Loved it when Finn President

gave idiot the "don't touch me swipe" when idiot touched his leg!!!

28. Add...

Violator of personal space. Another thing he does not respect or seem to even understand, and if he does, then he is violating it on purpose, which I would think is the case.

[littlemissmartypants]

36. Any unwanted touch translates to assault. It's a violation of bodily autonomy.

Definitely purposeful. The "ick" factor is off the charts.

[kiri]

51. raking the forests

Do not forget that Finns are busy 24/7 raking the forests to avoid forest fires. Finland's PM should have invited the hannity/trump team to join the rakers.

[Jopin Klobe]

20. "The Capitol should be surrounded ..." ...

"The Capitol should be surrounded by people vowing not to leave until Trump is gone. Pennsylvania Avenue should be blocked by protestors daily for several hours." ...

... oh ...

... you mean "the 1960s" ...

... well, it appears that it's time for more "Dancing In The Streets" ...

[cannabis_flower]

31. He also has no

sense of humor at all and can't take a joke.

[Efilroft Sul]

32. I don't think I've recced so many posts from one DUer since...

…bvar22 and sabrina were here. Two thumbs up and a twist for you, as they once said on "In Living Color."

[mudstump]

39. Excellent post...so why didn't the electoral college reject this man?

Isn't that their job to protect the country?

[ChubbyStar]

56. It is an excellent post

The rest of your comment, is HILARIOUS. Keep posting!

[Evolve Dammit]

40. STARK RAVING MAD. Period.

[pecosbob]

41. Anyone Trump visits now expects to be shaken down

what a two-bit hood...

[kentuck]

42. It was more than embarrassing.

He was rude, crude, arrogant, disrespectful, and fake.

It was also unpatriotic and un-American.

[NRaleighLiberal]

45. Whatever it takes, as quickly as possible. Please!

48. Watching 45

is a lesson in "How to stick your foot in your mouth or up your ass everyday of your miserable life". We get to watch that infomercial whenever we see this jerk.

[Oppaloopa]

62. Wow What a great title for a book. Followed by " the complete story of Trump's Presidency."

[apkhgp]

70. Historians everywhere

are chomping at the bit to get a hold of that stuff. How much do you think autographed copies would be worth?

womp-womp

50. Actually this is probably the most appropriate reaction to that press conference:

[Rhiannon12866]

52. Another day, another cringeworthy embarrassment

In front of the rest of the world.

[Turbineguy]

53. Trump has put himself in a bad position

for undoing the Russian sanctions. Which is the whole purpose of this Ukraine deal. Trump fucked it up. Putin hired a fuck-up.

[demigoddess]

60. and he doesn't know the difference between

electrocuted and electrified.

[Roland99]

64. "moral pygmy"!!

I am embarrassed.
