I feel embarrassed for the Japanese. And, what is that look on Tillerson's face?

everything about this orange menace makes me

put a cold towel on my forehead and tell me that I had a bad dream.. Xanax would help too.

Classless idiot!

What mental issue makes an adult person act like a 2 year old, they can't even "copy" what others in the group do?

But look at his face as fatso dumps all of that food into that Koi pond all at once, with absolutely NO care.

Good Gawd. UGLY American comes to mind easily. NO patience. NO shame. NO care.

What a fat, embarrassing, disgusting pig he is.

Trump did not dump the entire box of fish food into the pond because of "brash instincts," he dumped it because he is an ignorant asshole.

He's literally 3 years old and needs his mommy to hold his hands to keep him from destroying everything.

And having endured a grandson when he was 3, I know whereof I speak. What a humiliation trump is to us.

It would depend on the size and number of koi in that pond whether that was too much food, just right, or not enough.

I have a 1,000 gallon koi pond at the back of my home, and often when I'm rushed I'll just toss a handful of kibble to them. They don't seem to mind and they've lasted a long time (17 years or so by now). There's also a pond turtle in there to clean up what the fish miss.

Back to Trump. I'm hoping his Japanese hosts gave him only enough food to satisfy the fish's appetites, knowing that Trump was likely to just toss it all in at once. And the photo doesn't show the Emperor tossing any food to the fish, perhaps because Trump beat him to it.

What would have been more appropriate would have been to toss just a few bits to the fish at a time, so they could come to the side and be fed patiently, slowly, and admired. They are no doubt first rate koi (mine are more like C grade). They probably have longer memories than Trump, too.

Watch this:

Seriously, DUers!

It's a minor pet peeve of mine, but we need to start being as ruthless and media savvy as the Retrumplicans are, or we are going to continue having fucking fascists controlling our governmental power.

We should NEVER back down and say; "well, Trumpty-Dumpty didn't "really" kill all those fish".

We need to handle shit like this the same way ReTrumplicans handled the entire racist-ass "Obama's not a citizen" bullshit.

Instead of "being on the side of defending the shitstains actions", we should say stuff like;

- "as far as I know, shit-for-brains didn't kill all those fish"
- "shitgibbons said he didn't kill all those fish, but why is he not releasing his 'fish-feeding certificate'"
- "I take the orange sack of bile as his word that he didn't kill those fish....at least not 'intentionally'"
- "if it's so obvious, why doesn't he just release the fish-feeding course he attended"
- "of course, I'd NEVER accuse fuckwad of killing fish, but 'a lot of people are saying'"
- "I'm not accusing the asshat of anything, but 'many are saying' that the fish-feeding instructions may actually be a forgery, and I've yet to meet anyone who attended the course with the asshat"

See the difference? The ReTrumplicans NEVER "defend the other side", no matter how ridiculous or spurious the slander. They just put shit out there and make Dems waste their time refuting it.

We should do the same!

In this case, I'm saying; "did the dickhead kill a bunch of precious fish?", maybe, but maybe not 'intentionally'".

EDITED TO ADD: BTW - THIS TACTIC IS HOW WE END UP WITH 11 CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES INVESTING A NON-STORY LIKE BENGHAZI. N-E-V-E-R D-E-F-E-N-D R-E-T-R-U-M-P-L-I-C-A-N-S!!! EVER!

He does PLENTY of other things that are just plain wrong.

This fish thing isn't one of them.

You alienate more voters than you attract when you go overboard with the hate.

Yeah, like the racists ass attacks on Obama and the Benghazi Bullshit against Hillary "didn't help the cause" of the ReTrumplicans?

Do we seriously not pay attention??

Talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight.

You need to check on the facts before trying to attack others.

And the facts are that:

TRUMP DID NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WAY HE FED THOSE FISH.

Watch the full video. Japanese Prime minister dumped his box of fish food into the pond BEFORE Trump dumped his.

It was a huge outdoor pond with many large koi. They were in no danger of being over fed.

Try to focus on real wrong doing by Trump, instead of fake outrage at stuff of no consequence!!!

I want to focus on anything that even remotely damages Donnie Short Fingers and the ReTrumplican Party.

If it's proven false...it's not "my job" to "correct the record", just like it wasn't Boehner's, or Ryan's or Cruz', or Rubio's, or any other asshatted ReTrumplican's job to "correct the record" on the hundreds, if not thousands of bullshit attacks against Obama, Clinton and Democrats in general.

Let "them" waste their fucking time and energy refuting this, just like they made Democrats do.

This is fucking WAR. They've understood that and treated us like the enemy for decades. It's past time we do the same. I hate what that says about our country, but I hate that less than what they are actually "doing" to our country.

No apologies! No Regrets! We attack and attack and attack relentlessly and without equivocation. Every second spent "correcting the record" for these pricks, is a second wasted.

We can be nice AFTER we rescue our government from these fucking racist, white supremacist Nazis in Brooks Brothers clothes.

Until then, every scandal...every gaff...every misstep needs to be exploited.

I do remember your vicious, uncalled for attack on Adam Schiff (one of our best reps). Does that kind of attack help us? Nope! Step off.

and the American People "reward" that "integrity" by ensuring we don't elect racist shitbags to control every lever of power in our government.



Like Jack Nicholson famously said; "Sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked-up here"

We need to take this famous advice: "there's doing things right and there's doing the 'right thing'. They're NOT always the same"

On ALL sides...

I don't think the way Dems win is to tell a bunch of people that they're fucking stupid!

I mean, that may be true and they may have been conned, but you don't tell them that.

What you do is "win by any legal means necessary to take back the reigns of our government from fascists"...and then...you do stuff that will actually improve their lives.

- You tax the ever loving fuck out of folks like Donnie Short Fingers (I mean 90% range, with the only way to avoid that percent is to put those profits back into wages, R&D or expansion)

- Appoint justices that will strike down these "right to work for peanuts" laws and rule to strengthen Unions and Collective Bargaining.

- Appoint Justices to overturn that idiotic Citizens United ruling and get the 1% money out of politics.

- Return the tax rate on the top 1% to what it was under President Kennedy, and roll that money into the largest infrastructure program the world has seen.

- Medicare for ALL

- Offer the GI Bill to every graduating High School student, include trade and skill development for all that don't want to attend college (they have to register for the draft anyway, let them benefit from the GI Bill)

If I have to say Orange Colored Dickweed killed a few fish to obtain stuff like that, I'm sorry, but not only would I do that, I'd swear the fucker not only killed them, but also that he ate their babies raw!!!

Let the Retrumplicans defend him....it's not OUR job!

If anything the conned ones should get hopping mad at those who have conned them.

If they want to blame the messenger, well, then, they may not be worth engaging in conversation.

But waging total war and telling outright lies is not the answer, either.

about Hillary worked?

Though granted, we should come up with something worse than this and can.

His social graces are terrible, so there seems to be a presumption he's done something outre.

everyone knows, but he tries to sooth the moron's huge ego for the benefit of Japan, same as China & no doubt SK will also.

The proper etiquette is to feed small amounts and ask questions about each of the primary fish. They will show you who the alphas are if you simply watch. Tossing in all the food at once shows how short your attention span is.

Our pond is bigger, (60k) and we have fostered a number of koi from other ponds in addition to our own beloved families. They are such fascinating creatures, very much individuals. I am in Japan 4-5 times a year for business, so I get to see more Japanese culture than most.

And whether a diaper could fit in those clown bloomers.

Thrown himself in a tank full of great whites...

Would probably kill the shark!

Throwing human waste at a helpless creature...

. . . as much as I hate being so, Abe dumped his box of food into the pond before Drumpf did.

I thought this was just another dumb Trump moment. But you're probably right it is another twitter poutrage focused on low info posters who don't look at details or context.

It's a shame.

along with a video.

"the two men began spooning out fish food before appearing to lose patience and emptying their wooden containers with a shake.

White House reporters, keen perhaps to pick up on a Trump gaffe, captured the moment when he upended his box on their smartphones and tweeted evidence of his questionable grasp of fish keeping. However, other footage made clear that Trump was merely following his host’s lead."

It was heavily edited. In fact, compared to the excerpt in the OP, it is not even close to what was originally written. Editing when one is wrong is fine, but changing the article almost completely...

We want so bad to nail him for another stupid act everyone jumps at the slightest report.

he looks like shit . that is some strange looking fit .

If you wear clothes sizes that are way too large it is sort of difficult to see if there is fat under there or it's just the way the clothes are hanging on him. Don't you think he looks svelte?

Jet-lag and foreign food can do that to you.

Those smiles on the faces of the Japanese people there say it all. They are embarrassed for him, and amused at his unsubtle stupidity. In fact, Shinzo and the woman look like they are struggling not to laugh.

Abe dumped his box into the pond first.

Whether or not I prove it is irrelevant to whether or not it happened. That said, there's a video in the link to the Guardian article that clearly shows the full story.

Over feeding can pollute the water.

If you read the article it says Abe dumped his box first. So the article should be about how hanging around Trump makes others act badly.

What a concept!

He did, but a lot more lightly.

As much as I hate the orange mass, and as much as I'd like to see him shi..it on himself, we are better than that. We mustn't give tRumpers to prove us wrong. Thanks for the vid.

Plenty of real stuff to hate Trump for. This is not.

Abe sort of tipped his, so the Orange Idiot had to do him one better by just pouring it out!

KellyAnne: No Donald Trump didn't pour out all the koi food when he was told to sprinkle it 1-by-1. There was a gust of wind from Hillary

Link to tweet

Plus, koi are damned expensive. Hope they have good filters on that pond.

Symbolic of tRump spreading poison wherever he goes.

One of those vignettes that says it all.

republicans lowering the bar even further as they bring about the degeneracy of the USA's global standing.

year olds have better sense sheesh.

Surprised?
This is the way HE eats....
I'm shocked he didn't dump a bag of potato
Chips in it.

ABE did it first guys. Absolutely nothing to see here. Watch the whole video.

Even though it sounds trivial, I think the issue of whether he's ever had a pet (or wanted one, or at least likes cats or dogs or fish or gerbils if he couldn't have one), or was a birdwatcher or ANYTHING should have come up during the debates. How people treat animals is actually really illuminating. He seems like someone who has absolutely no regard for animals at all.

Brawny has what fish crave!
