oh man, this fucking guy ....
- LOFL! I love how he then calls on Blake Burman of Fox News who quickly changes the subject to terrorists. lol
What an absolute joke.kona - I actually feel bad for the guy. What a terrible job.BonSeff
- hold up though, lets be honest here. Who gives a shit. And why the hell do we need reporters in the white house asking Spicer what "covfefe" means? Thats stupidsofakingback
- As much as I hate every stupid thing coming out of Trumps administration, Im even more disappointed in the stupid news and how they cover all this shit.sofakingback
- It's just feeding the stupidity of it all and literally taking credibility away from their reporting. He's stupid, he doesn't know how to write, we get it.sofakingback
- So don't report about it like its a serious issue. make fun of it, sure. But have a 5 person panel analyzing the meaning? Write multiple articles decipheringsofakingback
- its meaning? c'mon. It's just as bad and just as stupid. Thats how this never ending back and forth keeps gaining momentum.sofakingback

- I suppose the issue is that if a president is stupid/unhinged and there is no oversight of his communications some diplomatic problems may occurlowimpakt
- He made a silly typo. Why not focus on the decisions of an administration full of oil barons, racists, creationists, hawks, sycophants and corrupt nepotism?monoboy
- They are making a profit from hating this lot. So they could say anything and they just poke fun out of it. Its like the human centipede in real lifemugwart
- lol ... the media doesn't need Trump to profitmonospaced
- The POTUS Tweets all hours of the night.
He tweets something incoherent.
It remains up until the AM.
Rather than laugh and admit the mistake, the WH does this.kona - That's the fucking problem here.kona
- How many times does Trump have to make an ass of himself on Twitter before they take it away? Are they going to wait until he spills our nuke codes?kona
- lol, seriouslymonospaced
- Who would take it away though? I think thats the bigger point. He is showing the world how much the POTUS can get away with... even if it is insanely stupid.sofakingback
- Why doesn't twitter just kick his ass off for spreading fake news? All social media outlets should have that rule. :D
Im sure that has bigger consequencessofakingback
- LOFL! I love how he then calls on Blake Burman of Fox News who quickly changes the subject to terrorists. lol

The Republicans who urged Trump to pull out of Paris deal are big oil darlings
https://www.theguardian.com/us-n…
"Twenty-two senators wrote a letter to the president when he was said to be on the fence about backing out. They received more than $10m from oil, gas and coal companies the past three election cycles"
- Only Commies and Pinko liberal scum believe in clean air and water.face_melter
- you thought oil and gas companies where bad, wait until you get government bureaucrats dictating global energy production, or your dime!IRNlun6
- I do think oil and gas companies are bad, because y'know, they systematically put profits over people's health. But hey, who gives a fuck about that, eh?face_melter

So now that we know Comey is going to testify to the fact that Trump tried to get him to end the investigation, which Im assuming is a crime, obstruction of justice, then what? Is anything actually going to happen? Or is Trump now allowed to commit crimes with no consequences?
- Unfortauntely, I get the impression there's no appetite to actually do something about it.Continuity
- Trump can always invoke Executive Privilege and prevent Comey from discussing conversations publicly.bulletfactory
- Yeah, that'll really make him look innocentmonospaced

- Lol, the article almost had me until i read "Sources with knowledge of the investigation"robotron3k
- There's the law called 'protection of sources' so whistle blowers don't get murdered or imprisoned by gangsters, regimes and dictators. Like they do in Russia.monoboy

Every Bad Thing We Will Avoid By Rejecting the Paris Climate Accords
- mg334
Give me an honest answer: anyone else here fell all the falling-over-themselves to have fun with "covfefe" that society is doing is pretty much an indication of how absolutely bored most people are and how starved people are for something, anything, to feel connected to others?
I'm not judging you guys who have posted about it - it suits the humor here and I know we're all really laughing at how dumb the president is. But this shit is the new momentary catch-phrase meme being used by media, across social media, etc. It's not the first time something like this has blown up into pop culture and it won't be the last, but I don't know... I kind of get that secondhand embarrassment feeling that something like this gets people really excited.

- you haven't ordered your t-shirt yet?_niko
- yeah ... the attention given to this is stupid high, for no good reason ... but at the end of the day, the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES tweeted itmonospaced
- While I agree it's not newsworthy in any way, I feel like everyone's dropped standards so far it's not a big deal. That would not have been ok with anyone elsemonospaced
- Despite the typo, it wasn't even a full message. What comes after covfefe???monospaced
- What we have today -- and, really, what we have had since the day Trump came into the White House -- is a deeply isolated President who spends lots of time,kona
- particularly at night and in the early morning, watching TV and tweeting.kona
- That lack of discipline reveals that there is simply no one who can tell Trump "no." That's important. (CNN)kona
- oh kona, that's pure covfefe!monospaced

@mg33:
All things considered, the total response to 'covfefe' has been relatively muted on QBN compared to, say, FB, Twitter, new media, late-night programmes, et cetera.
I suspect all of us here are less willing to be distracted by something like this.

- Yeah, I agree we're a different bunch. I'm just seeing too many people elsewhere for whom "cofveve" and being part of then fun has breathed new life into them.mg33
- That's also not even any kind of defense of Trump. It's just stupid. Societal glomming at it's finest.mg33
- I'm guessing it's people trying to make the best out of a shit sandwich of an overall situation. Headlines around Trump have been so shocking, alarming and ...Continuity
- ... bizarre, that this whole 'covfefe' thing became a bit of a coping mechanism, something to really laugh at.Continuity

Oh, boy.
'Putin says Russian role in election hacking "theoretically possible"'

'President denies government involvement but acknowledges possibility ‘patriotic’ hackers might have interfered'

We havent talked about covfefe much here because it's stupid. It's pretty obvious he meant to type 'coverage', then passed out mid-tweet.
Spicer said some of them know what it means, and I think he is referring to how they know Trump meant to say coverage. Not that covfefe itself means anything specifically. It's a non-story imo.

Elon Musk threatens to leave White House advisory councils if Trump drops Paris accord
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/31/e…
--
Now that Trump has announced he'll withdraw let's see if Elon's got the balls to withdraw.
And, if it wasn't clear, Trump only asked Elon to be a part of his advisory council to make people think he actually gave a shit about the environment. How giant of a douche must one be to ask Elon (a leader of alternative energy) to your council only to drop out of the Paris accord and support fossil fuel and big oil. What. A. Twat. Trump.
