Well that’s horrifying.
Between that and the desire for military parades and 1984 shit we’re looking at a full North Korea over here.
The “national day of patriotic devotion” is a nothingburger - there are literally thousands of better things to mock Trump for.
Presidents issue a zillion proclamations declaring zillions of different days (random example) and nobody pays any attention to them normally. (Note that this day was declared for last Friday only, and not for every January 20th in perpetuity, as some on the Interwebs seem to believe.)
I hate to come to Trumps defense, but this isn’t an uncommon thing to do as president. President Obama declared a proclamation for his inauguration also.

Bush and Clinton did also.
I think “National Day of Patriotic Devotion” has a certain… ring to it, if you know what I mean? That is what is rubbing people the wrong way, not that presidents like to proclaim special days from time to time.
Sure, but there are better things to be alarmed by on the one hand (list too long too enumerate, sadly), and to mock on the other (the Press Secretary is a weeaboo on a crusade against Dippin’ Dots!)
This is a marathon not a sprint, folks. Pace yourselves.
I hope this doesn’t make me a deplorable but I have to admit that I do not think Dippin’ Dots are the ice cream of the future either.
Next year they will be less subtle and just go for “I Love the King Day”.

It would at least put the national budget into the green for the day thanks to no maintenance costs.

Guess we’ll find out of those anti-carrier missiles actually work the hard way.
To return to the original purpose of this thread, from the Before Times:
In his new announcement about cutting federal regulations, President Trump today said that when a company wants to “do something monstrous and special, you’re going to have your approvals really fast.”

Need a factory next to a river, no problem, approval very fast, no question asked. Concerns about rather roads and infrastructure can handle that massive factory, don’t sweat it, we’ll worry about it later. live in an valley where the air quality can become toxic on any day of the week you don’t have even the slightest breeze? no worries, it can’t be worse than the lead you’re already drinking in your water.
Admittedly some processes probably could be faster but let’s hope we don’t start glowing after all these factories they’re going to suddenly get placed on top of water reservoirs… which I think are kind of local regulations anyway right, not federal?
What the hell does that even mean?

My best guess is he meant to say something like “momentous” and it just came out all Trumpy.
Makes sense. Would Trump ever admit that he misspoke? Hell no! He meant every word! They were the best words!

I assume he means something like the mega-mergers that have been happening lately. Well, at least for financial firms; he’s somehow against AT&T buying Time Warner Entertainment
In particular, he directed that comment at Dell, who just closed the book on the largest tech acquisition of all time (EMC @ $67 billion)
