Most deranged New Year's tweet ever?

This was less than half an hour ago, and I suppose Trump could tweet something worse than this, since he has the rest of the day for "executive time"...but this is a godawful way to start 2019:





HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE HATERS AND THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA! 2019 WILL BE A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR THOSE NOT SUFFERING FROM TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. JUST CALM DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE, GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR OUR COUNTRY!

Hi Malaise,
Just a question: On everyone of your posts it looks like there's a little tiny bug walking around in circles. I came soooo close to dismantling my computer just to save his tiny little butt, thank God I didn't. He (she) has been on there for weeks and weeks if not longer, but on nobody else's. PLEASE tell me I'm not seeing things. lol

https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/what-ever-happened-to-clayton-williams/
When Clayton Williams ran for governor in 1990, he made an offhand remark so famous it should appear on his tombstone—though, of course, he’d never allow it. It was a rainy day in March, and the press had gathered at his ranch outside Midland to watch some cattle roping. When one of his hands mentioned to him that the reporters were getting restless, good ol’ boy Williams tried to make light of the situation by comparing bad weather to rape: “If it’s inevitable,” he said, “just relax and enjoy it.” After that comment appeared in print and went on to make national news, Williams’ twenty-point lead over Ann Rich­ards plummeted, and she went on to beat him by a hair.

21. Lou Reed's "Take No Prisoners" live album from 1978
Reply to highplainsdem (Original post)
Tue Jan 1, 2019, 10:27 AM
Jan 2019


It's probably his most infamous album, behind "Metal Machine Music."

Lou had substantially altered his body chemistry for this show at The Bottom Line in New York. I believe alcohol played a major hand.

His Lenny Bruce-style ramblings between (and during) the songs led some to label this as his stand-up comic album.

The reason I am sharing this is that when I saw Trump's "JUST CALM DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE" comment, it immediately made me think of an extremely similar remark that Lou made on the album. I can't share it here. Fans of the album know exactly what I'm talking about.

Chickpea farmers suffering ‘a real catastrophe’ after Trump’s trade war tanks prices by more than half

BRAD REED 31 DEC 2018 AT 10:22 ET

With no end to President Donald Trump’s trade war in sight, many chickpea farmers are bracing for tough financial times ahead in the coming year.

NPR reports that many chickpea farmers in the Pacific Northwest have a huge percentage of their crops sealed away in storage with little hope of finding buyers anytime soon.

“30 to 40 percent of our total revenue is in the bin,” chickpea farmer Allen Druffel tells NPR. “And we’re not sure what we want to do with it.”

Druffel says the timing of the trade war couldn’t have been worse, as he’d had one of his best crops ever, only to see prices for chickpeas plummet from 50 cents a pound in February to just 18 cents a pound in December.

Tim McGreevy, the head of the American Pulse Association that represents farmers who grow pulse crops such as chickpeas and lentils, tells NPR that his farmers have lost an estimated $500 million in potential revenue thanks to Trump’s trade war.
