At least Trump will do a better job than Obama did when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.

- Totally not something Denny Crane would say

We could sell Texas to Mexico and then use that money to build the wall....this would be Trump's only way of getting Mexico to pay for the wall and the added bonus that Mark Cuban couldn't run for president as a Mexican!

Liberal humor.....

After Trump fucks up the recovery Texas is going to secede.

Thanks!!!

Could you explain what is wrong with this tweet please. I get the feeling that the true retards think he is thankful for the hurricane when it is obvious he's thanking the people for their spirit.

Come on, explain what you think is soooooooooo retarded. Your words.

Nobody thinks he's thanking the hurricane (or thanking the deity for the hurricane).

What's wrong with the tweet.

1. He's not the national weatherman, he's the president. We don't need him to give us the forecast.
2. Saying 'thanks' personalizes it to him. The 'spirit of the people' isn't a gift someone gave him.

So posting THANKS!!!! And then calling him a retard doesn't mean what it looks like. Got it.

If he'd have said "I'm thankful to be president of a country filled with people with amazing spirit" would that be retarded?

You lwnj types really stretch anything to fit your narrative don't ya?

I'm literally laughing out loud. HE'S NOT THE WEATHERMAN!!!!!!!!!!

It's fucking hilarious.

Since I wasn't the one who posted that, I can't be sure.

No, that's more like what he should have said. Even better: just leave off the thanks. It ain't about him or his feelings.

You lwnj types really stretch anything to fit your narrative don't ya?

I don't know. What's an lwnj?

It is, isn't it.

You're really behind the times in slang, aren't you? It stands for Left Wing Nu Jazz.

You're a Left Wing Nu Jazz type.

Nu Jazz
Nu jazz grew out of the combined influences of Jon Hassel’s Kiranic trumpet playing and ‘fourth world’ rhythms, Miles Davis’ soft tone and use of ambience on “In a Silent Way”, and the early 90s intersection of jazz and electronica, particularly trip-hop, dub and down-tempo. Some early Nu Jazz artists include Nils Petter Molvaer and Bugge Wesseltoft. Over time, other influences were introduced to the Nu Jazz sound.

For a time, the jangling ambient guitar sound of post-rock was a big influence on Nu Jazz, but that has mostly faded now. Meanwhile, bands like Jagga Jazzist and Snarky Puppy have re-discovered the lush orchestrations of sophisticated easy listening and exotica arrangers such as Henry Mancini and Les Baxter. Yet another influence, one that has emerged from the sound of the popular Portico Quartet and others, is the use of repeating minimalist phrases. This use of short repeating melodic phrases not only comes from minimalist composers such as Steve Reich and Phillip Glass, but also from Zeuhl artists and a long history of European art rock. An influence from ambient music is also part of the Nu Jazz genre, this can be found in the early music of Nils Petter Molvaer, as well as others. Nick Bartsch is a popular Nu Jazz artist who often combines the repeating figures of minimalism with a dub reggae style ambiance.

All of the above mentioned influences may appear on a Nu Jazz album, but not necessarily all. As Nu Jazz continues to develop, the most constant factors tend be a relaxed 'cool' approach, an influence from modern electronica and an appreciation for ironic kitsch and retro sounds. Some early precedents for Nu Jazz can found in the Terry Riley influenced ambient sections on Soft Machine's IIIrd album, Brian Eno's use of Brand X's funk/fusion backing tracks in building his late 70s ambient art rock albums, and Miles Davis' lengthy "He Loved Him Madly" from his "Get Up With It" album.

Although there are musical differences between Nu Jazz and Contemporary Jazz, from a pop-culture standpoint, the more obvious difference between the two is Nu Jazz’s self-aware ’hipster’ stance, compared to Contemporary Jazz’s more emotionally earnest approach.

@theprunetang is definitely a Left Wing Nu Jazz type.

You don't have me on ignore, or at least you show hidden content often enough. I guess that answer will have to do.I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for that fine liberal that uses the word retard as an insult to respond.

I actually thought about starting a thread/contest to see who could guess the most ignored poster (not counting HCP)

Would be fun

I look forward to your efforts, but you shall not prevail.
