Never Go Full Dotard

Donald Trump’s tweet about Kim Jong-Un calling him “old” really only scratched the surface of the insults North Korea has hurled. In state run media, which has made the use of the word “dotard” a household term, he is also referred to regularly as a lunatic, hard-of-hearing maniac, hysterical warmonger, rogue gangster and mentally deranged barking dog.

In 2014, during the release of the satirical comedy “The Interview,” North Korea unleashed a string of insults against President Obama (translations vary):

“Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds, like a monkey in a tropical forest.”

“You can also tell this by his appearance and behavior, and while it may be because he is a crossbreed, one cannot help thinking the more one sees him that he has escaped from a monkey’s body.”

“(He) still has the figure of monkey while the human race has evolved through millions of years.”

“does not even have the basic appearances of a human being”

“a wicked black monkey”.

“Obama’s gut-wrenching, revolting facial features.”

“monkey climbing up this and that tree and scrounging up fruits on the ground,”

“it’s certain that Obama has slipped out of the body of a monkey,”

“he should live as a monkey in an African natural zoo licking the breadcrumbs thrown by spectators,”

Courtesy Joshua Stanton, One Free Korea.http://freekorea.us/#sthash.Fym8aNsU.dpbs

Other insults:

Former South Korean President Park Geun-hye : “vile prostitute,”  “senile granny,”  “tailless, old, insane bitch.”

President George W. Bush: “hooligan” who looked like “a chicken soaked in the rain.”

Vice President Dick Cheney:  “most cruel monster and blood-thirsty beast.”

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld: “political dwarf, human scum or hysteric.”

State John Kerry: “wolf with a hideous lantern jaw.”

 

So, back to President Trump’s tweet, the comments ranged from the predictable “Delete your account” and “Impeach Trump,” to the more light-hearted:

Okay, at this point I’m convinced Trump’s account has been hacked. Even he’s not this whacked out. Wait, yes he is.

I… I just… did you just have a stroke or something?

If he won’t take medication the only alternative is that the rest of us do until he goes away.

u ok hun? Xx

Seriously sir step off, go to bed, just breathe

Donald trump just called Kim jong-un short and fat on twitter…… we’re going 2 b blasted into smithereens, my god…

Symptoms of neurosyphilis Confusion, disorientation. Sudden personality changes. Changes in mental stability. Dementia. Depression

Kim Jong-un is living in Trump’s head rent-free

twitter in 2014: oh cool ellen took a selfie with a bunch of other celebrities twitter in 2017: the president just called kim jong-un fat

Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice, but the smart money is on Trump making momma-so-fat jokes at Kim Jong-un.

Remember when President Obama appeared on Between Two Ferns and conservatives said it was beneath the dignity of the office? Trump is currently fat shaming Kim Jong-un on Twitter….

trump: i’m friendly with russia because they’ll help us get on better terms with north korea trump 30 mins later: kim jong-un is short and fat

Trump is so pissed about Kim Jong-un calling him old that he has cancelled his date with Putin to watch “Golden Girls.”

Kim Jong-un went too far this time. Nukes are one thing, but ageism is something else entirely. The American people will not stand for discrimination against old people!

Kim Jong-un’s reply “Yo Potus so fat, it took me two trains, a plane, and a bus to get to his good side.”

Donald Trump just body shamed Kim Jong-un. Next he’s going to unfriend him on Facebook.

“Dear Kim Jong-Un, Do you like me? Circle one: YES NO Your friend (hopefully), Donny”

When you thought nothing could get stranger… Enter Trump saying he’s trying “hard to make friends with Kim Jong-Un”

Just so we’re clear… Our POTUS just “fat shamed” Kim Jong-Un AND called him a “Manlet” in the same tweet. THIS IS THE BEST TIME EVER FOR POLITICS!!!!

someone wrote this EXACT SAME THING in my 7th grade yearbook. Weird.

All I can say is… Kim Jong-Un needs to create a twitter

And finally, my personal favorite:

Never go full dotard.

 

NEW: Lincoln Papers in Full Color Now Online

Abraham Lincoln’s papers from his time as a lawyer, congressman and the 16th president are now online in full color in a new presentation after a multi-year digitization effort at the Library of Congress.

The Library holds a collection of more than 40,000 Lincoln documents dating from 1774 through Lincoln’s presidency and beyond, including materials from his campaigns, Lincoln’s first and second inaugural addresses and the earliest known copies of the Gettysburg Address. The more than 20,000 original documents in the collection have been digitized as high-resolution images through a collaboration with agencies in Illinois.

“The thousands of manuscripts, documents and images that tell the story of Abraham Lincoln’s life are an invaluable resource, and more people than ever can study these primary sources from the Library of Congress,” said Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress. “More than 150 years after Abraham Lincoln’s presidency, his model of leadership and public service continues to inspire us as a nation.”

The collection is online at loc.gov/collections/abraham-lincoln-papers/about-this-collection/.

Researchers, students and scholars around the world can get a realistic view, zoom in and read documents written by Lincoln and his correspondents. The collection includes original documents as well as transcripts of many of the historic papers. Full-color images of Lincoln’s papers were created using the highest resolution for digitized documents available at the Library.

Treasures from the collection include:

  • Lincoln’s printed copy of his second inaugural address. Historians believe he read from this copy to deliver his inauguration speech on March 4, 1865. For the first time, this document is included with the collection online;
  • Lincoln’s July 1862 preliminary draft of the Emancipation Proclamation;
  • A memorandum expressing Lincoln’s expectation of being defeated for re-election in 1864;
  • A condolence letter by Queen Victoria to Mary Todd Lincoln after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

The papers include Lincoln’s correspondence with his wife, members of his cabinet, military generals and other key figures.

Lincoln materials have long been some of the most frequently used resources in the Library’s collection by researchers and the public. “Civil War” and “Abraham Lincoln” have been among the top search terms on the Library’s website for more than 10 years.

The Lincoln Papers came to the Library in 1919 from Lincoln’s oldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln, who inherited the papers after his father was assassinated in 1865. The collection was first opened to the public in 1947 at the end of a moratorium period mandated by Robert Lincoln.

Digital images of the Lincoln Papers were first made available online in 2001 based on scans from microfilm. The refreshed digital collection now has been updated with additional features, full-color images and materials not included in the previous online presentation. The Library holds the papers of 23 presidents.

The Lincoln Papers are among several collections made available online during the past year. Other newly digitized collections include the papers of U.S. Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce and James K. Polk; the papers of Alexander Hamilton, Sigmund Freud and Margaret Bayard Smith; more than 4,600 newspapers from Japanese-American internment camps; a collection of web-based comic books; and 25,000 fire insurance maps from communities across America, the first of 500,000 that will be accessible online.

The Library of Congress is the world’s largest library, offering access to the creative record of the United States—and extensive materials from around the world—both on-site and online. It is the main research arm of the U.S. Congress and the home of the U.S. Copyright Office. Explore collections, reference services and other programs and plan a visit at loc.gov; access the official site for U.S. federal legislative information at congress.gov; and register creative works of authorship at copyright.gov.
