Anyone here able to translate this gibberish?
Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 3m3 minutes ago
"thought it would be hypocritical to attend Bush's swearing-in....he doesn't believe Bush is the true elected president." Sound familiar! WP

The leader of the Bikers for Trump group has promised to form a "wall of meat" to defend the inauguration from anti-Trump protesters. Funny that Trump would specifically shout out to them.
Our president elect very much likes Twitter but doesn't like the now standard practice of numbering tweets when using Twitter for something it wasn't originally meant for. This is the first part of that tweet:
Like really. If all your tweets need 3 or 4 to get your point across, maybe find a different method of relaying it?

Should he survive 4 years, this man's ego is going to be torn to ribbons. We might watch our first president descend into madness, then kill us all.

He does multi-part tweets but doesn't use (1/2, 2/2, etc) ever. He's talking about John Lewis not attending Bush's inauguration. No idea if that's true
He did skip out on Bush 2.

More prostitute talk from Putin. He has a strange understanding of how beauty pageants are organized.

Why would Putin want to keep this in the news? He must know that merely bringing the details up is newsworthy in itself.
He's either sending Donnie a message or they're trying to distract from something else.
Or he is just trying to take the piss on Trump.

I imagine there'd be a few big inicidents here and there, but protests in general would be pretty small.
I'm expecting the opposite to happen with Trump, as I'm hoping the movements protesting what he and the GOP do rival that of what happened in Brazil and South Korea.
I mean, from my understanding, Civil rights groups and environmentalists are in a vast majority compared to racists and climate deniers. I don't expect them to just trample all over those people.
Or maybe, I know, it's hard to believe, he was asked a question by a journalist.

The guy who holds ONE press conference a year and brings homers in to ask softball questions?
Yeah I'm sure it was an unprompted and unplanned question.
Yeah, sorry, I replied kind of dickishly. I do think he was taking the piss, though. Some of the language he used was quite colourful - golden in fact.
Aaayyyyy

"Doubt that Trump fell for it" sounds like code for "I didn't think he was actually that stupid, but then he went and did it anyway lol." Not a denial, just a totally normal observation that a head of state would consider common logic for any person not named "Trump."

Am I missing something?
What new jobs has he himself negotiated?
And what savings on military equipment?
Pretty much all his tweets are total BS.

Unfortunately People in the House & senate are exempt from insider trading rules on knowledge they gain there . This is why anyone in the congress who wasn't rich when they came in leave rich.

Around two thirds of white evangelicals have a favorable opinion of Trump.

This should not be forgotten. There are some groups that didn't like Trump, but voted for him anyway because EMAILS, but the only groups that actually like Trump are white evangelicals and straight up Nazis.

To be fair to Trump, since his election, there have been many cases of US companies pledging to invest x amount of billions of dollars in the US, of which the most recent example is this. The article also mentions some of these other pledged investments. Now, whether or not this has anything to do with Trump is debatable, but like most politicians, he is taking credit for it, although rather obtusely.
With regards to cutting military costs, he is probably referring to Lockheed Martin's CEO pledging to 'bring the costs down significantly'. Source
Again, I read somewhere that they were going to be lower going forward anyway, but once again, Trump is obtusely taking credit.

Republicans need to drop this 'party of lincoln' crap. They are far the opposite of that these days.

I don't know why they keeping thinking "Party of Lincoln" does anything over than reassure themselves.
So...Trump is a president and therefore by extension is Lincoln and should be thanked for freeing the slaves. Can't argue with that logic.

Don't they also try to flip it on Democrats by saying that Dems used to be the party of racists? Then was then. Now is now.
There's a good reason they keep on doing it - because it increases sympathy and respect for their party. Yes, they're the opposite of Lincoln, and Trump is the anti-Lincoln incarnate, but as soon as you link yourself to a high respected statesman, orator and legislator, the general populace will think more of you. It's optics in its purest form.
I mean, test it for yourself: "The Party of Lincoln has nominated a racist, sexually assaulting, ignorant buffoon and failed businessman to be its leader." The cognitive dissonance there is amazing. But people aren't versed in seeing cognitive dissonance before their eyes, so they think it can't be true.
It's another way in which the Democratic Party has failed messaging. Who is the Democratic Party the Party of? I mean, seriously, who?
I'm shocked.

Minorities, the poor, the sick, movie stars, singers, comedians, the educated, city people. The downtrotten and those that live around them, interact with them, and know they exist.
It's not really that hard.
The GOP can't say who they're a party of. They're the party of the white, the racists and the rich. But that sounds awful. So they have to latch onto a time when they weren't cartoonist evil and vile.

The problem besides not numbering or threading his tweets is also that he seems to get distracted as hell before sending out a multitweet thought. He'll send part one, retweet some nonsense, and then send out part two. For someone who uses Twitter as much as he does, he really is pretty poor at it.
Yup, all true. But "The Party of Lincoln" is pithy - it sounds good (on the surface, at least). By contrast, the Democratic Party struggles to find a pithy title... The Party of the Educated/Singers/Movie Stars? Elitist. The Party of The Poor? "But I'm not poor, so whatcha gonna do for me?" The Party of City People? Rural voters not gonna like that.
Lincoln embodies a lot, so the GOP get to swing him around like he's a unicorn. He's a concept. What real-life awesome person that the Average Joe knows is the concept of something amazing does the Democratic Party have? If the ACA gets the recognition it deserves, you could actually have The Party of Obama. But that won't be for awhile yet.
Putin's aim may be chaos. A distracted US and UK would mean NATO would not be able to stop a lightning invasion of the Baltics.
I guess they would say that they're the party of limited government, free markets and family values.
inb4 limited government actually means dictating proper family values and spending a crapload on mililary

This sounds nice.
Then I reread posts on GAF about Hillary Clinton post-election from the Bernie wing and realize that this is why this fight still needs to happen. Posters saying that "She can go fuck the right off," is a bit extreme.

The GOP is not the party of family values and hasn't been for a very long time. The only people deluded enough to believe that already vote for the GOP.
Somehow, we have gotten to this point

I'm sorry, but the media is so insanely politically correct about Christianity that it makes my eyes roll.
There were roughly 300 articles written in the election season about "why (white) evangelicals are voting Trump even though they don't like him" and all of those articles ignored that white evangelicals were literally the only non-Nazi group in America that liked Trump. There were plenty of Rust Belt low income whites who voted for Trump even though they disliked him, but white evangelicals like Trump, mmkay.

This seems pointless. Why waste time?
For "Family Values", I've always read "pro-life" and "anti-feminist". It's been a dog-whistle of the GOP for a loooooong time.
Someone wake me up from this insane dream, he is going to burn the world down.
About that...

Looks like they're going to hold it hostage and kill it unless the Dems help kill the ACA.

Trump has probably assaulted around 200 women in his life, hopefully more come forward when people realize that he's a coward who will never actually sue his accusers.
