1. And while this is happening,

the Stock Market is in it's second day of mega decline.

Keep it up Donnie,you have no clue.

2. The beauty of him saying that about Obama is 94% of the human population

(only russians and GOP agreed with it) LOVED and still do Obama and HATE him.

Rump is a traitor who is going to sign off on our deaths, soon, if that is what it takes to keep him out of justice's way.

Count on it.

5. This week will be historic

in political terms. Appears the leadership of the Rethugs are going all in Kavanah and against all Women and there hopes of fifty years of Republican control of our Nation via the Courts is in full view.

Karl Rove was right back in 2000,we count the votes.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. I never had a doubt, Kavanaugh is going on the court and even if he doesnt

someone who is EXACTLY Like him will, the ONLY difference might be the view of rump being above the law but even that

I mean fuck, why is that even important unless you KNOW you have FOUR OTHER fucking sycophants just waiting to say he is above the law...

[Wellstone ruled]

13. We have thirty five days to attempt to push this nightmare over the cliff.

And the Rethugs know of what I speak.

4. Mega decline? I don't see this unless I'm looking in the wrong place? nt

[bearsfootball516]

6. It's down 45 points right now, which is like, a grain of sand on the beach.

I love DU, but it tends to go crazy when the stock market falls by 50 points, but is completely silent when it goes up 200.

[SWBTATTReg]

8. Really. I don't freak out unless it is down by 500+, and multiples days of decline...

Will happen soon (who knows when exactly), based upon the fact that we've had up up up for almost 9 years+. Housing is getting slower, manufacturing of housing goods will slow down, and perhaps might trigger something, but I am more inclined to think that rump will do something idiotic and cause something of a panic...

Wouldn't surprise me one bit...

27. I recently freed up some investment funds

It's cash on the sidelines because I'm anticipating exactly what you refer to. There's bound to be some Stormy days ahead for the stock market and for Trump (Stormy x2 in his case).

I'll wait for the big bargains, even if that means being patient for several months or a year.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Be aware there are

only a half dozen stocks that prop up the Dow. And as long as Apple,Amazon,and Alphabet hold their value,this false market holds.

[NoSmoke]

12. Down 0.2% today

is not "mega decline"

[FM123]

3. We had one before you came along, you ridiculous orange piece of garbage!

[Achilleaze]

9. republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is pathetic & perverse

and yet hordes of republican kids will grow up imitating him since republicans have elevated him to be their "republican family values" role model.

Disgustipating.

[peggysue2]

10. He simply . . .

humiliated the United States once again with his bloviating. And by doing that schtick of fantasy--my Administration has done more for the United States than in Her entire history--he makes the country look weak and foolish, as deranged as he is.

The man is a security risk! To us and to the entire world.

[libdem4life]

11. We knew the world was laughing at us.

What a way to memorialize it in one short video memorial.

16. At the U.N., Trump finds the world literally laughing at him

The world is laughing at trump http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/the-un-trump-finds-the-world-literally-laughing-him

As we discussed at the time, it’s been a point of near-obsession for Trump for decades. In his mind, being laughed at appears to be the single worst reaction a person or a country can experience, and so he seems to evaluate decisions based less on merit and more on whether they’ll generate laughter from others.

In the Reagan era, Trump insisted that “bad guys” were “laughing at” the United States. In 2011, The Atlantic ran a piece noting Trump making the same argument about international laughter, at Americans’ expense, during the Clinton, Bush, and Obama eras.

“Everyone is always pointing and laughing at America, in Trump’s view,” The Atlantic piece noted. “A psychologist might have a field day with this.”

Stop by the Trump Twitter Archive and search for example of the president writing missives about people laughing at us. It’s not a short list.

Traditionally, this has made Trump appear vaguely paranoid about ridicule that didn’t really exist, responding to laughter that only he could hear. This morning, however, was an altogether different dynamic: at the United Nations, the world laughed at Trump.

18. I'm laughing right along w/ them...

This man is a joke. Plain and simple.

[Doodley]

17. When they laughed at Trump, they showed what they really think. They laughed with Obama, not at him.

[True Dough]

28. And then Trump reportedly

said he intended that to be a "laugh line."

Yeah, right!

When has Donny ever laughed about anything, let alone his own administration's performance. He takes himself way too seriously. His peers on the world stage obviously do not, however. I think yesterday came as quite a shock to him, although the effects will likely be fleeting. It would be a real eye-opener for a sane, well-adjusted individual. For Trump, he'll brush it off and return to his narcissism/megalomania.

19. We've sunk to another new low today.

But that seems to be a recurring theme.

21. Real question

Has or will news media from other countries publish articles about this and state that he is a laughing stock? Has anyone checked yet?

26. Mahalo moondust! Wow!

Opinion: Donald Trump's UN speech makes authoritarians great again

But while the truism that America is governed by Americans and the rejection of what he called globalism may win him points at a campaign rally in Kansas, it doesn't with the global leaders gathered in Manhattan. The same goes for his bragging, and factually inaccurate opening line that his administration had accomplished more than any other in US history. At the UN General Assembly it was rightfully met with a mixture of incredulous and embarrassed laughter. That was also the reaction of the German delegation after Trump called out Berlin by claiming that Germany would become completely dependent on Russian energy if it did not reverse course on a controversial gas pipeline.

Trump's boasting prompts laughter

Trump kicked off his speech with a list of his achievements since he took office in 2017. He went on to claim: “In less than two years, my administration accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.”

As many in the audience erupted in laughter, Trump added, “So true,” with a smile before digressing from his script to note: “Didn’t expect that reaction,
but that’s OK.”

Of course, Fraud "didn't expect that reaction".. he's a fucking moron.

Trump is a laughing stock. But if we weren't laughing, we'd be crying

And while reporters and foreign policy experts could not recall another leader ever before drawing derisive laughter at a UN speech, it did not end there. When Trump made another claim – “Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy …” – the cameras revealed the German delegation laughing and snickering to one another.

With Trump’s own behavior and policies as a backdrop, the substance of Trump’s speech merited laughter – it was an incomprehensible joke

30. Hurray! And he'll be back at it again soon

At some point he is sure to see or hear something about how the world laughs at him.

23. Fox News Tomorrow: "Democrats Weaponize Laughter" /nt

[diva77]

24. There he was, front and center in the spotlight like Norma Desmond in the final scene of

Sunset Blvd. He thought he was a hit at the UN -- the most capable, highly esteemed, sought after talent in the universe. When he got the big laugh and applause, he didn't know what to say 'cuz he was so happy.

I'm waiting for the rest of the scene to play out -- you know, where the police haul him off to jail.
