[News] Post a D&D Picture

Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.

If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.

And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.

Trumpty Dumpty. And I have a degree in the literature of the Englishes, so I should know.

Plus I keep reading Humpty in that context as "hooptie", which is still relevant.

I really wish that every time someone went and blamed the shutdown on the Democrats, someone else would jump in and point out that the shutdown actually started almost two weeks before the Democrats took the House, and it happened because the three groups of Republicans (House, Senate, and Individual 1) couldn't all agree on one plan. If they had all gotten on board with the same plan, the government would still be open, and the Democrats couldn't have done a thing to stop them.

And further, that McConnell won’t bring to a vote the bill his Republican colleagues in the Senate passed just a week or two prior. Because the Democrats have passed it in the House.

All Mnuchin's money and all Fox's men couldn't put Individual 1's reputation together again?

(Yeah, I know, to like 80% of Republicans his reputation hasn't even taken a hit. I can dream, though.)

Gross.

Nothing like serving hungry guests stone cold fast food while bragging how you, a billionaire, personally paid for it.

I'm really excited to see how Wendy's edgy Twitter account handles this one!

That image is a really good summary of the sham everything that is Trump. Standing in the White House in an ill-fitting suit, serving Wendy's to his guests. The man is literally in the heart of American aristocracy and he somehow manages to make everything around him look like a cheap imitation of wealth.

He perfectly embodies the dirt-poor kid who's parents won the lottery and is now desperately flaunting his large but dwindling wealth with excessive purchases of things he imagined rich people had based on luxuries as viewed through the lens of poverty.

Like literally everything that's wrong with America in a nutshell. sh*tty, artery clogging food served to exploited "student athletes" by a traitor. For God's sake, just serve them a good meal and make their time at the White House memorable.

"But what if I purchase fast food and pass it off as my own cooking? Oh ho ho, delightfully devilish, Donald!"

Except Trump was never a poor kid. His racist Nazi father exploited poor people on his way to family riches.

From the Yahoo News White House Correspondent who was in the press pool that covered Trump unveiling his fast food feast:

"I should note that, at one point tonight, President Trump said he bought 300 hamburgers. Later, he claimed he bought 1,000 hamburgers."

whatever the number, I think we can all agree that he bought none of the burgers.

Seriously who thought serving cold fast food was a good idea?

"Donald, the West Wing's on fire!"

"No, Melania, that's just no collusion with Russia."

Ok. That picture seals it.

He's wearing a coat, right? It's been bugging me all day but that sh*t is even longer than the other jackets he uses to hide his bulk.

I'm actually way into it. If 45 leaves us anything I hope that he leaves us the over powering urge to stop relying on norms and ceremonial robes for our leaders.

As bad as the sh*tty dumpster food is, the worst part is that he seems so proud of it.

There’s a video of it where he waxes poetic about serving “good old American food”.

Like, we literally have the unhealthiest populace in the developed world and our food is a big reason.

I can tell you exactly what is going through his mind:

"No need to feed these thugs and savages real food, they don't have the class or culture to appreciate it. I'll just get them some fast food, they'll be happy with that."

I saw that picture on Twitter and, even knowing everything I know about Trump, I had to do a google search to see if it was real.

If this were any other politician that would be likely, but his love of mediocre fast food is pretty well documented. I’m sure he thinks he’s going all out.

Oh I know that but he's got such a massive inferiority complex that, all other things being equal, you'd be hard pressed spotting the difference. That's what amazes me about it all, and I say that having lived below the poverty line at times as a child myself.

Stripping back all the lies, fronts, and bluster (plus the unfortunate rise to the most powerful position in the western world), Trump would be a sad but fascinating case study on self-perception, projection, and social awareness. I suspect there's a tiny, fragile ego nestled somewhere in that orange sack that's just seething with a whole mess of unresolved daddy issues.

This just in: government shutdown means that White House chefs aren't working. Hence, Wendys.

I spent a good long while trying to figure out what joke I wasn't getting about Trump photoshopped next to an elaborate display of Wendy's food. Was it some meme I just hadn't seen yet? Some running joke about Trump and Wendy's?

No. Turns out that sh*t was real. Huh.
