The Refried Presidency: Trump Hateful Machine/Fossil Fuel Boogaloo or Whatever Continuation

Can you imagine how badly Obama would have lost if he’d mocked McCain the way Trump did?

 

If I recall correctly…he plead (pleaded?) guilty to the federal charges after being convicted of state level charges in order to serve his prison sentence in a federal prison rather than a state prison. If he’s pardoned he goes to state prison. Not sure he’d particularly enjoy that.

Of course I’m sure this SCOTUS could calvinball their way into a ruling that will expand Trump’s pardon power to state crimes committed by police officers against black people.

 

Gotta wonder if Comey is going to be prosecuted.

 

You're absolutely right.

Nonsense. Thousands, no actually millions are going to erect greenhouses on their property and grow bananas.

 

A horse escort you say?

As a real American, I'm going to put up two greenhouses, one for bananas and one for coffee beans.

 

Remember, proles. When offered a $400M luxury plane, you just say "thank you very much"

Dude, it’s all the ones. He’s a fascist. He doesn’t have the same thoughts in his head when he thinks of “truth” and “reality” that you and I do. He doesn’t operate like that.

 

She endorsed Kamala Harris and never licked his taint the way Kid Rock has.

But she's also not touring now. After a huge multi-year tour, it's not unexpected for her to fade into the background a bit.

Much to his chagrin, she'll be back.

 

I think she's gawky with too-big choppers. But to each his own. She could certainly afford a $400M jet if she wants.

 

Trump approvals are going up, his ratings seem to move in the opposite direction to his Tariffs.

"Ipsos has his net approval going from -8 pts to -1 pt with voters. Aggregate has him up higher than late April too & much higher than at this point in term 1."

Time for a reality check... I think some folks thought Trump's approval rating would keep falling, but it's rising.

They didn't pack enough of his meds for the trip??

I see he also went bonkers on Springsteen today.

 

That's despite the fact America still has a baseline 10% tariff against everyone, that didn't exist 6 months ago.

The average American voter is a ********ing moron.

In the words of JVL "good luck America"

 

As strange as it seems, the humidity in some of those places might drive you crazy. It's even worse than the Florida he may or may not be used to.

 

42 to 44. Wow

 

Only if the Trump administration continues the process of weaponizing the DoJ against his political opponents. Comey posted a picture of seashells that spelled out "8647" and conservatives freaked out claiming Comey was saying to assassinate Trump. The most common use of 86 is to "get rid of" or "throw out", or, in this case, Comey wants Trump to be kicked out of office.

The Biden DoJ paved the way.

 

From that article:
And some have found examples of prominent conservatives using the "86" slogan over the years, digging up far-right influencer Jack Posobiec's 2022 tweet reading: "86 46." In 2024, then-Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., used the term to describe Republicans who had been removed from office, which did not cause notable controversy at the time.

 

LOL. Not even remotely true.
