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.

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

Shoving the largest crowd in American history into a single building might cause some deaths by crushing

start off your second term with a superspreader event, nice

and, hell yeah, Amy Comey Barrett will be there like the last one

Even as we enter a new era of things being too on the nose, Trump pushing a crypto coin to rip off his fans shortly before the inauguration isn't something I expected.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9vmym2jvy9o.amp

Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now
A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.

We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

In the meantime, you can still log in to download your data.

Cool! Let Mother Pneumonia and Father COVID have their way with them.

I wouldn't try their luck. If anything, having the wrong people die at the worst time has been a much bigger problem for the Democrats.

Hahaha SUCKERS.. have at it

Despite once calling cryptocurrency “a scam”, Donald Trump made a theoretical fortune of billions after launching a self-named and highly controversial meme coin immediately before his second inauguration in January.

Now an army of digital imposters is trying to cash in on the president’s name and online presence to make their own crypto killing, according to a report in the Financial Times that details hundreds of “copycat and spam coins” uploaded to Trump’s official wallet in cyberspace.

Creators sent more than 700 new meme coins to the wallet in recent weeks, many named after Trump or his family members – but none of them have any formal connection.

failsons still failing even in this

The names of four of Trump’s five children have also been popular among the copycats, with his youngest son, Barron, accounting for 30, his daughter Ivanka next with 26, and older sons Don and Eric Jr with 14 between them.

Well long way to go to see whether he starts a world war but for now its an interesting comparison.

All those hitler comparisons are lazy and fall flat. Trump is your Yeltsin. I highly recommend you to read up on his rule and and its effect pic.twitter.com/ziilaHypGf

Trump doesn't drink, tho

Personality-wise, Trump is more like Yeltsin than Putin, but I find this persuasive (1999 is when Putin rose to power):

"Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them."

Mr Trump,

If you wish for us to keep selling Big Macs to the USA then this 10% tariff is unfeasible.

Looking forward to herring from you soon.

Sincerely,

The Penguins of McDonald Island

Hard for me to imagine Trump resigning and ceding power to someone like Yeltsin did though.

he could easily drop dead tho

His father died at 93, his mother was 88. He'll probably live longer than both of them.

Would vance do this tariff stuff? He would treat allies roughly and pursue the MAGA agenda. But the sweeping tariffs seems like an idiosyncratic Trump thing.

I think in his bones Trump believes the American people will love to see a President punching out at other countries.

The Times reported that people close to Trump say he believes God spared him the bullet so he could carry out his “vision” in an uncompromised way. In his gut he thinks all this stupid stuff will have a good outcome, although it is not clear what good outcome he has in mind. A 1950s style manufacturing economy?

the good outcome is crushing the US economy so he and his friends can buy up what remains and tighten the grip of dictatorship on the rest of the country

xpost Maybe DOGE should get rid of the Secret Service since Trump has God deflecting bullets from him.

xp it’s what it looks like moodles. disappointed in god for desiring this

according to this Isaac Chotiner, Trump is acting right in line with current theology

^ the Chotiner interview

Empathy was one of Christianity's biggest failings. Glad to see them rethinking it.

"turn the other cheek" was always a mistranslation, the true scholars say it was "turn their other cheek", in other words, to slap the other person's cheek

The thing about a camel fitting through the eye of a needle was just a prophecy about Ozempic for animals.

Also the cheeks in question are butt cheeks

No, God still doesn't like that

tbf it still took them almost two years to do anything

Trump's tactlessly shambolic, victim-blaming, Putin biased/self-interested Ukraine negging is not going to get him a nobel peace prize. I think his Alzheimer's wracked brain is finally accepting this. It's a worthless prize that can be won by useless corrupt arseholes, but just not as useless and corrupt as he has been on Ukraine.

(jeez, I didn't realize that tiny screenshot on my phone would be this big)

Putin isn't Hitler and Russia won't go to war with the rest of Europe.

That tweet is more about how adults talk to each other vs. what we've gotten used to lately, imho

masterful handling of the canadian election, sir

Libs be fighting back, mr trump

lol, imagine a greyer than grey corporate blur like Carney actually being a more robust and effective anti-Trump politician than Starmer. and still the UK establishment are trying to spin Starmer riding Trump's dick and grovelling on his knees while being humiliated as careful and considered statecraft. Heh, we live in a degenerate country.

Canada can stand up to the USA and they're right on top of the fuckers meanwhile our embarrassment of a government is leaning on the R&A to get them to stage the Open at one of Trump's golf courses.

some of the definitions of a banana republic are a corrupt political culture and an ineffective government controlled by foreign interests. Yep, that's the UK alright.

Better Prime Ministers than Keir Starmer:

Keir Dullea
Lady Miss Keir
Udo Kier

Starm Trooper

Canada and UK are v different situations.

It would be very, very funny if Trump threatened to invade the UK.

Would love him to start ramping up anti-British sentiment, he's got plenty to work with there!

masterful handling of the canadian election, sir

Now Australia too

His response to blowback for posting a picture of himself as pope is infuriating: "I didn't have anything to do with it... maybe it was AI." Of fucking course it is an AI image that YOU posted motherfucker, you think we're stupid enough to accept that excuse?

yes, he does, and, for the most part, he's right
