Political cartoon and meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.

the Emoluments Clause.

Which reads:
“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

So... help me out here. How does, 'stay at my place on the other side of the island' violate this clause exactly?

Certainly you are not actually suggesting that paying for a hotel room is the same as accepting gifts from foreign nationals...

The Domestic Emoluments Clause

Which has nothing to do with Ireland...

I am also unsure of any State, or the US as a whole, giving him emoluments above the salary.

So, again, help me out here. Cause you are not making your stance very clear.

The foreign emoluments clause - the only one you were aware existed presumably - applies when he directs foreign business to his hotels, the domestic clause applies when he directs federal revenue to his hotels. He profits from his hotels.

/chuckle.

Carrying water for Spudoc, that's nice of you.

Unfortunately, unless there is evidence that the fees these people are paying are somehow higher than the room fee and the excess is funneling to Trump- you really don't have much of a leg to stand on here. But keep hoping...

Keep hoping.

Nope, that's something you just pulled from your ass to defend your mistake. There's no 'and also charging higher than the usual room rent to increase the profit margin' part.

[AnalHamster]

Fuck that, pig-human hybrids is wrong.

In my humble opinion scientist need to start asking 'should we' and not just 'can we'.

They're working toward growing transplantable organs, which would save tens of thousands of lives every year. They aren't just doing it to see if they can.

[Charliesheen]

This will end well.

[DandyDon]

And Biker used Trumps doctored photo.

[CHEEZY17]

So there actually were projections that showed it possibly hitting Alabama even if they were "outliers"?
I agree he needs to just drop this but holy fuck you people are desperate to jump on every little thing.

Dude, he held up a chart he had doctored with a Sharpie! You don't think people are going to make fun of that?

[PimpDaddy]

Because it has never been done before...

This asshat is septupling down now, this time with a Rear Admiral and official WH letterhead to bring the smackdown!




FOR FUCK'S SAKES, WHY CAN'T HE LET IT GO?

The hurricane is currently tearing apart the Carolinas and the only thing Trump is concerned about is that there was a 1/100,000% chance that the extreme south/east corner of Alabama might have gotten an afternoon rain shower.

[FSchmertz]

He has a serious mental problem. People who make seemingly minor mistakes admit it and get on with their lives.

But he just keeps digging holes and making himself look ridiculous, all because he just can't allow himself to be wrong about ANYTHING!

That's sick.

P.S. I didn't agree much with President Bush II, but I could see going to dinner or a bar with him. There's no way I'd do that with Chump.

[DandyDon]

What is it about people that they feel the need to constantly lie for him? Have they not noticed how well that works out for people?

It got Huckabee a job at Faux!

Some people just need to suck up to the boss, no matter what the boss asks of them. It takes courage to tell the boss "no, I can't do that" and risk your cushy job.

P.S. Some here are also apparently suck ups. They can't see why the "Leader of the Free World" lowering himself to doctoring and publicly presenting the photo from the Office of the President for pathetic reasons (his apparently fragile ego) doesn't deserve their efforts to excuse it, and just makes them also appear foolish and pathetic.

How funny would it have been if a million people evacuated their homes and fled southern Alabama because Trump sent out that Tweet.

The holy fuck here is Trump altering a map to try to prove something.

[Stapes]

He is a sick fucking man.

[DandyDon]

Fox got called to the principals office for reporting the truth.

A someone who's gone thru a good number of hurricanes, and even a couple of hurricane eyes, I know they can take mysterious last-minute changes in course. Yea, there were projections that Dorian was going up through the Palm Beach area, then head northwest up under/through Orlando, then possibly as a very weakened storm into Alabama. That was a possibility, just a very improbable one. It wouldn't have been a hurricane or even a tropical storm, just fragments of a storm cell, had it gone that far.

We who lived in Orlando during 2004 will "fondly" remember Charley. It was supposed to tear the fuck out of Tampa. And every projection offered just that. So half of Tampa emptied out into Orlando, since that was the safe move. But before it went north, it took a strange right turn inland, then another strangle left turn straight north into and across Orlando and thru the state. And left Tampa basically unscathed. That wasn't supposed to happen! Then we had to worry about three more hurricanes after that.

There are really times that Trump just Needs To Shut The Fuck Up.

I agree. He really should let this one go. Even if it was technically true who gives a fuck? This is one of those times where punching back, usually something his fans like, just doesnt do him any good.

That is some subtle ballwashing there. Well done
