Ten-year-old nabisco offTM:

Here's something funny: when I was ten years old I had a vague admiration for Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca (both very feted at the time) and a downright intense love of Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties, who I didn't understand to be something of a joke. As such, despite having really liked Mondale -- having a woman as a running mate impressed me, probably because of the mother/father dynamic of it -- I was convinced that I wanted to be a Republican and a businessman or lawyer of some sort. In fact, I started a "company" with my friends Brian and Jeff -- we made board games, and hired Tony, the best breakdancer I have ever known, to do the art -- and I was constantly attempting to read the law and economics books in my father's library. Everyone seemed to think this was "cute," though I sort of wish someone had just explained politics to me. In either case, I got over it quickly and went back to wanting to be a writer.

i suppose 'classic' in that he's all a lot of people can think about or talk about and his brain dmamage is so powerful it's infected the world

p bad president and person tho

takes balls to rock that combover day in and out

I can see the blood from the man-flesh on his teeth!

What you lookin' at?
You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be?
You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say,
"That's the bad guy.
" So... what that make you? Good? You're not good.
You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
So say good night to the bad guy!
Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you.
Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

You certainly don't, pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them; you can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit. You ARE shit! Hit the bricks, pal, and beat it 'cause you are going OUT!

Search: "move on her like a bitch"

Destroy: everything else

"Trump never said he had tapes, he just inferred that he did. And it is not intimidating a witness since Comey is telling the truth and knew that any tapes would prove his version of events."

everyone is classic but not everyone should be president

President Don once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme for a savior machine

Trump lingered last in line for brains
And the one he got was sorta rotten and insane
Small hands (so sad!), a rust-hued clown
Is Trump fast asleep or rockin' out with Three Doors Down?

Murricuns electing Donald Trump: Classic or dud?

haven't thought about this guy for a while. i think he was popular in the 80s?

Overrated

I think he'd make really great hog slurry. You can really tell a lot about a man by the way his pureed corpus fills a trough.

red means 'run, son. numbers add up to nothin'

shelter me from the putin and the banker
i bankrupted casinos. who the fuck does that?

Like a hastily-assembled meat collage.

hard to tell who is more obsessed with him the right or the left.

also the media love/hate thing is so cute. get a room you two.

“I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.”

He is only as wicked and hellspawned as the hatred and resentment simmering in the heartland of the most violent nation ever

I think you might need to look into a thing called history if you think this is the most violent nation ever.

you suggest Panama?

the 1997 NYer profile of Trump is start-to-finish amazing but if I had to pick a favorite part it's this https://t.co/reqFZ79eZd pic.twitter.com/Qnwnuiyxqh

libs/"centrists" for sure

it's sobering to realize that Trump is probably the most famous person in human history now

*not adjusted for population inflation

indicative of a deep flaw in our universe

truly he is king of the narcissist personality disorder sufferers

i think jesus still beats him out unless we're only counting contemporaneous fame

Michael Jackson sold a hundred million records

contemporaneous fame. MJ is up there but there are twice as many people on Earth now than there were in 1984.

Donlad Turmp sold a hundred million and one. Sad!

Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

I think you might need to look into a thing called history if you think this is the most violent nation ever.

idk Native American genocide plus slavery plus nuclear bomb-dropping... surely we're in the running

probably a million people killed by u.s. in vietnam/laos/cambodia. nobody will ever know how many. not pol pot numbers, but still...

mao would be the world champ though.

it's sobering to realize that Trump is probably the most famous person in human history now

this is a ridiculous statement

Man, if only Trump would tweet that he's bigger than Jesus...

well he's certainly fatter

Nice

feel like throwing an rip in there couldve taken it to the next level

Lazy low effort post by trump.

Sad!

yea it misses the panache of his comments on the death of Meathead

he really sums up vv succinctly what a couple billion people will be posting about someone else hopefully someday soon

Trump is reposting a humour-fail Starmer skit from the UK version of SNL as a dunk on Starmer. What he probably doesn't understand is that it is has no cultural footprint in the UK. There is quite a widespread mindset in the UK that the only thing less funny and less nauseating than SNL is the UK version of SNL.

sorry I meant more nauseating

Quickly formed mindset, since the first episode was last night.

indeed

Grand opening grand closing

I suppose a portrayal of the UK PM as a sniveling supplicant to Trump is so off the mark that the public would have to reject it.

There is quite a widespread mindset in the UK that the only thing less funny and less nauseating than SNL is the UK version of SNL.

lol there's only been one episode, don't think there's a widespread anything about it so far except "yeah I've seen ads around".

No doubt it is shite tho.

Well I'm going off my echo chamber who've been hating on every sneak preview that was put out for the last month.

in the UK ppl of all political stripes at demonstrations, darts tournaments, football matches like to join in union with a good old "Keir Starmer is a wanker" chant. That's one way they get it off their chests. But unfunny comedy-fail shite is not an option.

I thought Fey's monologue was passable but I couldn't get through the sketches

some people on bluesky seem to think it was pretty good, though "mostly shit" sounds like a faithful adaptation

I'd block anyone with positive opinions on SNL and I would be completely vindicated and correct.

I think about the kindest comment on it I've seen is "soft-punching milquetoast drek"

I could watch it and find out but nah

part of the appeal is that the show is often terrible but it's been a mainstay for half a century now, you have to have grown up watching it... there simply aren't many shared media experiences like that left anymore

the era I grew up in the shared experience comedy show thing for me was The Fast Show. Which was often very dark and cutting but also daft and loose. I know what you are saying. Any attempt at SNL in the UK it's not got any nostalgia appeal. Also there was the Ben Elton hosted FNL when I grew, which was a mixed bag of alternative comedy mainstays, lots of it was shite as well.

also for whatever reason late-night shows like SNL are the only real critics of Trump/Republicans in America on network television, comedy is the only TV lens that can bring him into focus

even for Trump this is incoherent and insane

comedy is the only TV lens that can bring him into focus

James Austin Johnson (speaking in character as Trump) got in a good zing last week:

"After all a promise is just a lie that hasn't happened yet."

“He’s got six genders, insults to Jesus, only vegan food”

April thread title

and here I was thinking Jasmine Crockett was related to Davy Crockett

Oddly, both are related to Sonny Crockett

Weird promise of a Tallerico oppo dump alongside claims "We" let him win.

The “oppo dump” was a few deep fake videos.

maybe he’s tired of the job and wants out

https://bsky.app/profile/warrenjwells.bsky.social/post/3mhocpr3jwk22

Yeah. If this trajectory continues then one would think that at some point even his minions/enablers are going to be like, “ooookay, we’re done here, let’s get someone to do our dirty deeds who can at least keep their proverbial shit together”. Seemingly most ppl have been saying forever that he is insane, dementia-ridden, and w/e but it is swiftly approaching the point at which even his most sycophantic defenders are not going to be able to ignore any longer the spectacle of his brain liquifying in real-time, for all the world to see, and in such dramatic and undeniable fashion

The way he is crashing out is like… if he were not the President but instead a pop star or actor or something, in a couple of days we would learn that he had gone to rehab or to whatever treatment facility.

That infamous Donny wriggling tweet aside, here he is in a situation that he has totally fucked up, has virtually no control over, all of his usual bullying and lying strategies are failing him, he’s stupidly gotten rid of all of the “adults in the room” in the Pentagon, powerful people whose approval he actually NEEDS are pissed off at him, and it is all happening on the world stage with life-and-death stuff going on, dozens of countries involved directly or indirectly. He’s obv flailing, and this is diff from other situations in which he’s fumbled, bc this is one where he can’t just shriek out some insults and yell that he’s taking his ball and going home. He’s kind of fucked imo

^^^

dont want to be alarmist here but this is a pretty alarming situation

only one way out of this jd vance gotta kill him

Which raises the broader question: what does three more years of this look like? There is a better chance of him dying in office than being removed from office. I suppose somewhere in the middle could be resignation, which I actually could see happening if his health took a serious turn.

this is a pretty alarming situation and the path out of it requires agreement and cooperation among political actors who have systematically trashed all basis for agreement and cooperation. their oligarchic masters are too politically feckless to orchestrate a solution either.

In the case of Biden, while he was clearly decline, I think everyone knew there were people around him who could keep the administration running, as with Reagan as well.

But Trump is completely surrounded by suck ups and weirdos who will probably start knifing each other the second he dies. Hegseth can’t run shit on his own. Vance would probably be lynched if he invoked the 25th amendment.

"He’s got six genders, insults to Jesus, only vegan food”

April thread title

voting no on this, the "six genders" thing is essentially a slur and i don't wanna be reminded of it all month

xxxp somewhere in the middle could also be the Salazar solution which is l—he’s a vegetable and still President while the admin pumps out AI slop pretending he’s hale and hearty

heard Salazar Solution are playing Steelfest this year

“He’s got six genders, insults to Jesus, only vegan food”
