Islamic State says U.S. 'being run by an idiot'

[trof]

<sigh>

Islamic State said on Tuesday the United States was drowning and "being run by an idiot".

In the first official remarks by the group referring to President Donald Trump since he took office, spokesman Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer said: "America you have drowned and there is no saviour, and you have become prey for the soldiers of the caliphate in every part of the earth, you are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye."

I remember when this would have just been considered crazy jihadist propaganda.

3. They feared and hated Obama, big time. They laugh at trump

[gratuitous]

4. How do you say "Thank you Captain Obvious" in Arabic?

I don't agree with the entirety of their blowhard message, but yeah, they bullseyed one thing.

13. Google translate says,

شكرا لك الكابتن واضح

I have no idea if that is correct, or if I just said something offensive. Hang on while I see what the men in uniforms at the front door, back door, windows wants....

5. I'm laughing when I try to think about Trump's circle of ass-kissing yes-men trying to brief him on

this. Like they need to brief POTUS on ISIS movements at the very least. I'm trying to imagine his little bootlicker brigade attempting to coddle his fragile ego while telling him "ISIS thinks you're a dummy".

Trump prolly like "B-b-but they said that about Obama t-too rright?" and then a pause followed by "Of course sir".

[radical noodle]

6. That's pretty obvious to everyone

Sounds like they're trying to goad trump into something.

[trof]

8. Uh oh. He is easily goaded.

dang

[AgadorSparticus]

16. Then they need to compare him to Obama. That will guarantee a few tweets.

But they called him an idiot....Can't be worse than that.

7. Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer has about a day or two left.

All focus on the spokesman.

10. Good lord! ISIS said something I can not refute.

11. Bizzaro world

14. They hate so many people, perhaps it's not surprising to find they dislike someone you also do

[struggle4progress]

12. yes i received your letter yesterday

about the time the doorknob broke

when you asked how i was doing
well was that some kind of joke?

and give them all another name

right now i can’t read too good
so don’t send me no more letters no
not unless you mail them
from desolation row

15. I don't suppose he'll just let them troll on by.
