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?

Cronenbergian

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

he went on to explain why he really needs to 'own' Greenland, rather than treaty expansion, economic partnership, etc.

he sure seems to be thinking about his own death a lot, that makes two of us

when he 'rests his eyes' during cabinet meetings, he sees the endless dark oblivion waiting for him

That makes literally billions of us

i wonder if any other country would feel justified in charging him with international crimes and then kidnapping him and melania and then ‘running' our oil infrastructure. i’m sure there’s another big oil company out there who would love to sponsor it

happy trump is "resting his eyes" just like at cabinet meetings

“Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

Saying what all presidents within my lifetime have done..

it's cute he said morality

Telling Denmark "the fact that they had a boat land (in Greenland) 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."is pretty rich.

xp in this case it’s a portmanteau of “moron” and “mentality”

https://www.democracynow.org/2025/12/24/headlines/epstein_files_mention_10_possible_co_conspirators

I think trump is one of the ten and this is the whole thing. Recruiting girls for pageants was part of the conspiracy.

I don’t like getting all epsteiny bc i think trump is objectionable enough for other reasons. We know for instance he is a rapist and abuser of women — already. But I do think the recent bullshit is him attempting to establish a dictatorship before this is revealed.

And that sounds insane but he has invaded minneapolis and given his troops carte blanche to execute civilians.

Traditionally i have tried to understand politics through a structural lens but in this case there is one person seeming to be acting out of self interest and a desperate impulse for self preservation.

Definitely some panic moves going on which shows he feels truly threatened by something, what could it be

I don't know. I watched this video earlier and I think I'm done speculating about his psychology:

https://bsky.app/profile/randahl.bsky.social/post/3mc2nekp5t22y

He’s definitely crazy and stupid but he is also considering a shooting war with denmark

yeah I mean tbc I'm not absolving him of responsibility or anything — that video is self-parodically textbook dictator behaviour — just trying to let go of the idea that I can puzzle out what's going on in his obviously putrefying brain. also watching Vance and Rubio is more instructive I think

i am now genuinely wondering what it might take for top military brass to make a move. NB I am not a troop fellator but my impression was upper military really see themselves as defenders of the constitution. it would be awful because it would be another step into the abyss but unpopular colonial wars brought down the estado novo.

The military is seizing oil tankers on his orders, which just seems like blatant theft, so idk what they won’t do.

the man loves his imaginary ballroom

One of LGM's top posters supported a military coup as our only salvation: that liberal rights-loving military.

yeah I firmly believe it is NOT an answer, even if for an ostensibly good reason.

Having had retired military officers in my family at least the ones I am related to are not all bloodthirsty right-wingers and war crimes enthusiasts. My folks talk like/are resist libs.

it's not going to happen and if it did it would be bad

The American officer corps are a bunch of right-wing cranks. Completely unsurprising that LGM superfans are psyched for American Pinochet.

I think the wishing for a coup isn't so much "America should be more like Chile" - it's more "someone should shoot Donald Trump in the head, and a soldier is likely to be the closest person with a gun, so let's let them do it."

thats not a coup

just sparkling regicide

the coup fantasy is prob more of an acknowledgment that if trump died today wed still be in bad shape tomorrow

thats not a coup

It's a space station.

you should see the face im making at the computer right now

You know nothing of which you speak, as usual.

guess my relatives are secret frothing right wingers

Well yeah but we had the draft!

You're welcome!

You know nothing of which you speak, as usual.

Even if you got hit in the head repeatedly and lost all knowledge of the actions and beliefs of the US military over the last entirety of its history, there is plenty of research into the political donations and voting patterns of troops (and officers specifically).

The war crimes factory isn’t liberal.

I think the wishing for a coup isn't so much "America should be more like Chile"

Except that’s exactly what the American military coup would look like - if Trump is offensive to the generals it’s because he isn’t the right kind of economic conservative.

Seriously the highest ranking military dude I knew in DC was a very sweet and kind gay dad with kids the same age as mine

Maybe he got hired back when the military was woke

I’ve worked with several seemingly cool cops, this has convinced me that American PDs are good and have my best interests at heart.
