Treason Thread #76: I Shot the Tariffs

Kudos on the thread title, OP.

love the title

Love the title

Great title, OP!

If that FOOL has that parade and celebration while cutting of Snap, NPr, PBS, Medicaid etc - I hope - well Zia won’t put it in print. I hope the hang that fool by his ankles.

Chefs kiss on the thread title, OP!

Shocker! Wingnut Kash Patel isn't working too hard

Kash has misused the FBI jet to visit his "girlfriend" in Nashville (of all places) and attend at least one hockey match in Canada.

Even his fellow Indians are taking note of his 3rd World behavior in the United States of America. What about the MMA promoter he lives with in Las Vegas and presumably fucks raw?

What ABOUT the MMA promoter he lives with in Las Vegas and presumably fucks raw?

Thread title is sheer brilliance, OP. Well done.

Thanks all! I wanted to use “but I swear it was in self defense” as the second line, it was a toss up, but the total ignorance of due process won the day.

It would have been brilliant either way, but i think the better choice and now we all have an ear worm for the weekend.

She ATTACKED a Black Child... then MAGA Made Her a Star

What the...???

R14 - I bet that clip doesn't get shown on MSM or if it does, it won't be as incoherent as it appears above. He's cracking and trying to deflect - again - but his attempts are becoming more feeble as things continue to spiral downward. His time is coming but not fast enough for the rest of us!

"During a private dinner at Mar-a-Lago, Trump personally apologized to Enrique Tarrio, the former national chairman of the Proud Boys, for the treatment of January 6th rioters under the Biden administration according to a tweet from Tarrio.

Tarrio added that Trump said “I love you guys” and asked him to deliver a message to other January 6 defendants: “Thank you.”

Donald has turned the US government into the Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

And absolutely no Republican in Congress gives a shit.

Laura Loomer……..

Enjoy your summer vacation:

The Trump administration has temporarily suspended an air-quality monitoring program at national parks across the country.

The program collects data on levels of harmful air pollutants, including ozone and particulate matter, at the 63 national parks in the United States. Federal officials consult this data when deciding whether to grant permits to nearby industrial facilities, such as power plants or oil refineries.

Breathing in these pollutants is linked to a range of adverse health effects. For instance, long- and short-term exposure to particulate matter is associated with heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks and premature death, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

"There's a very, very important announcement to be made. Maybe Thursday or Friday or Monday." Just tell us now you fucking moron.

"Grossly incompletent, the last president we had."

"Everybody keeps saying when are you going to sign deals? We don't have to sign deals!"

Guess 90 deals in 90 days is out the window.

I wish I knew what foreign leaders say about him after they leave his meetings.

"Obama is building his library in Chicago and it's a disaster."

[quote]Everybody keeps saying when are you going to sign deals? We don't have to sign deals!

I thought he already signed 200 deals.

His babbling is over the top today.

Carney looks bored. Has he rolled his eyes yet?

Trump humiliating himself in front of Carney. Of course

I'm sure Carney had the GW Bush line going through his head: "Well that was some weird shit".

Do you think Donald manages to do a fresh shit each time he meets with a world leader or does he go in with a dirty diaper to ensure he'll stink them out?

His intention is to continue insulting Canada.

The look on Carney's face wasn't in to response to what DUMP said, it was the putrid smell to the left of him. I wonder if they put a plastic cover over the chair DUMP sits on (not in) to prevent soiling the fabric. Another shit show brought to you by the White House!

#TrumpSmellsLikeAss

Trump is a fucking nut, remove him from office.

[quote]Trump is a fucking nut, remove him from office.

Oh, okay.

I think the Trump admin is absolutely serious about annexing Canada. Otherwise they wouldn't keep having Donald bring it up. Starting a major military operation would be the perfect cover for martial law and suspending elections. And Americans love a big expensive foreign occupation because so many of them make bank from the military, its contractors and allied industries. Not to mention the Canadian conservative party is essentially just a branch of the Republican party. If the Conservatives had won the recent election they might very well have agreed to hand the country over to the US. They still might if they get the chance.

Canadians are fucking annoying and I hate the accent. I don’t want this.

R38 has stated her boundaries!

How the hell would they even implement that? Invading? Canada will fight back.

[quote] Graham writes on X. “To my friends in Israel, do what you have to do to protect your airspace and your people. It is long past time to consider hitting Iran hard. It wouldn’t take much to put Iran out of the oil business.”

Miz Lindz pandering and urging combat. Same ole…..

You just know he was salivating when he posted that, r41.

I need to finish my final post in thread #75:

The day when it happens.

If Lindz wants a war with Iran so bad, she should volunteer for combat!

r40, of course it would but Canada is a country of 40 million inhabitants versus our 330 million plus the largest military in the world. It's not a threat to just shrug off.

Maine Governor Janet Mills Told Trump "I'll See You In Court." And Then She Beat Him

Great title, OP!

Dotard is making a complete mess he’ll never get out of. We’ll never get out of. Do we want the next president to be a Democrat? It’ll be yet another huge mess to clean up for which they’ll get blamed yet again, and we’ll end up with, “Democrats never do anything when they are in office!”

It’s not easy to make progress cleaning up disasters Republicans keep leaving us.

R41 Was Lady Lindz waving her parasol when she posted that?

I just hobbled through Target (I broke my toe) in So Cal. It is a nice one I visit often. The shelves were empty! So somber - it reminded me of early Covid. Here we go!

Now when you leave the store, you walk out bow-legged due to the prices.

We are all Mark Carney

I thought we were supposed to be boycotting Target R50.

R53, now that’s not going to be an issue, is it?

They bent the knee to Dump and got rid of Pride merch and eliminated DEI programs R54. I never shopped there anyway, a bunch of overpriced cheap crap that was marketed to fraus.

I agree with Danielle Moodie that the Trumpists are deliberately creating chaos in order to exhaust us and make us easy to control. We need to play our own game.

Possible, R56. But I also think that gives them too much credit for actually having any strategy.

More often I think they are so shady and there are so many cooks in the broth that they don't actually understand what's going on themselves (which makes for an accidental plausible deniability).

tbh I don't think the Trumpistas thought they'd get this much pushback.

The pressure is working here and there. The proposal for requiring women to vote with their birth names is dead.

This was my favorite, r52. I watched Mayor Bowser the entire time and I felt so bad for her. I wanted to send her flowers or something.

Clever OP

I’m sorry for the Twitter link, but here’s an interesting and terrifying thread on transnational organized crime primarily from Russia has infiltrated our government and the governments of other countries. We’ve all discussed this topic before. It’s directly related to treason. All Democratic presidents have warned about it since President Clinton.

Trump and his MAGA are corrupting and looting our government and treasury the way the mob did in Russia.

R62 Yes, and it's worldwide. We were always better off than Russia, so our fall is going to be intense. What concerns me the most is cryptocurrency. Dotard has no loyalty to, and he likely hates, America. He'll sell everything to the highest bidder.

R63 - The other RePukes that support his actions must be in on it too as collapse of the 'system' as we know it will affect everyone in their circle as well as the rest of us. Maybe they think 'they' are immune or he must have some serious Kompromat (courtesy of Putin) on many of them. The value of everything (no matter who owns it) will plummet creating a global crash and only the top players will escape. Certainly there must be a group of people that are aware of what is transpiring and will try and thwart the destruction. The rest of us can only prep and hope we come out of this in one piece.

Speaking of prepping…how much cash do folks recommend having on hand? $10K?

R64 If you read the thread on Twitter, in Russia they'd kill anyone who tried to get in their way. Republican electeds are scared. Very scared. The media is scared. Even billionaires are scared. They "fall" out windows in Russia, too. They all know what happened in Russia prior to and during Putin's reign.

R66 - Thanks for the info/reply. I get the scared part but as a collective they could certainly mount some sort of hidden revolt and being scared works both ways although I may not understand the full import of the tactics employed either way. Maybe that's why the Orange Skidmark was jetting around the globe last year visiting all the Dictators/Oligarchs to get schooled on how to implement such tactics here.

Of course Putin in the main ringleader and is using DUMP to destroy us from within knowing that money is DUMP's kryptonite. Beyond money, is hate and revenge against anything he is not and those who don't pander to his lunacy. His underlying ignorance and stupidity (as he has proved countless times) should assist in his downfall but he seems to have the Universe in his pocket as well as the MAGA Lugnuts that believe he's Gods gift to humanity. Heaven help the rest of us!!

'is' vice 'in' - 2nd paragraph.

How about whomever operates this site implement some sort of edit function and charge a bit more to cover the efforts. After all this site is nearly 30 years old and still functions as though it was 1995!

But it still looks young enough to have been born in 2005!

R69 - Looks are one thing, functionality is lagging based on how far technology has come in 20, much less 30 years.

Anyway, I do get a kick out of this site and all the unusual treads/comments in spite of it's antiquated 'features'. I do try to review any comment(s) before hitting the POST button but sometimes things slip through. I know this happens to others and I just roll with it. There are bigger fish to fry but having a few more features to bring this site into the current century would be appreciated.

Have a splendid evening!

I'd settle for Muriel fixing the haphazard, random, nonsensical banning "system" r70.

Apparently, Trump hasn’t collected enough votes yet to become Pope. He wants that white smoke.

The Senate’s renowned Republican scholar on economic theories.

R73, the good news seems to be is that Charms is expanding its Candy Crush production facilities. If more people eat more junk food they’ll die before they’re eligible for Medicare.

Trump is one step beyond and it's time for him to go. Everyone knows it. Republicans, do it you useless sacks of shit. Redeem yourselves.

I can't imagine what he's going to be like at the G7 summit coming up in mid-June. I'm sure the others will prepare a united strategy. The timing will coincide with when tariff shortages and small business closures will really hit.

I hope they pile on.

r76, is this the one where they welcome back Putin?

Billionaires are paying people on both sides to destroy the Democratic Party.

R76, he's a convicted felon. Will Canada let him in?

FCI/r79, because Billionaires are capitalists and capitalists hate socialized ANYTHING.

We need to be figuring out how to claw back the money the 1% has stolen from us over the past 50 years.

Wealth taxes?

Nationalize their companies?

When the press asks him questions he answers with a whole lot of nothing.

According to Trump, the previous presidents didn't know what they were doing. Just go away.

There has been a massive transfer of wealth from the middle and working class to the upper 1-3% over the last 50 years. Most of it has to do with tax breaks for the rich, who went from paying 85-92% in taxes, to paying as little as a blue collar worker, and paying even significantly less tax rates for capital gains.

That’s because of pass through entities, partnerships and corporate welfare.

There should be NO CARRYBACK/CARRY FORWARD business losses. They can eat it and take it out if someone’s bonus.

If your company can’t show a profit in ten years, then you NEED TO BE OUT OF BUSINESS and stop leeching off the government.

Stop paying fucking bonuses, stop the golden parachute bullshit and you’d be able to wean yourself off welfare.

Today I was at a business across from the local Tesla dealership and asked the guy there what it was like. He said they've been having protests there every week and every week they get bigger.

Trump had a press conference to announce a trade deal with Britain, except no deal exists, just a “concept.” A few weeks ago he said something about how he had already made 200 deals. That fantasy has expired, we’re in a new fantasy.

Wishing will make it so.

I wish...

And the media will fall for his "deal" with the UK, parroting that it's some kind of major victory. Meanwhile, store shelves are beginning to empty.

[QUOTE][R76], he's a convicted felon. Will Canada let him in?

God, what a fantasy that would be.

Canada/Carney: We are a nation based on laws and it is only fair to applied them equitably and not in favor of the wealthy or powerful. Thus, we have decided that President Trump may not attend in person. Any and all representatives of the United States with clear criminal records may attend on behalf of the administration.

Of course, Canada will provide top notch, secure networking and communication capacities so that President Trump may participate in real time.

If the Trump Administration believes there are extenuating circumstances that should allow for an exception to the law, there is an appeals process available through our Ministry of Justice and we encourage President Trump to explore this option.

U.S.A./Trump: Sputter 😡😵

Hey, a girl can fantasize.

All of those "gold" ornaments Trump put in the WH are gold painted crap that he ordered.

ordered from where?

Temu, r93.

The G7 should invite Hilary or Barak or even Kamala to attend, just to fuck with him

More White House incompetence. This would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

R96 Yet another post that appears to be a parody by The Onion, except it is by our government leaders. If it were made by Biden, it would be all the media would be talking about for weeks. But whenever Trump makes an unhinged remark, or ridiculously wrong comment, or comes across as incoherent or cognitively disabled, it is dismissed or ignored.

Trump on US port traffic slowing down: “It’s a good thing-not a bad thing.” “That means we lose less money.”

Corporate America: 😳

Corp America could end him today, but they cover for him. They price gouged Biden and Democrats out of power.

Yep. So every last one of these sons on cunts deserves to kicked in the wallet until they decide they’ve had enough of his shit.

People will stop buying and those greedy cunts will cry for more government handouts.

Trump is turning out to be all smoke and mirrors as the smoke is dissipating.

Smoke and mirrors without the smoke is just Trump putting on his orange makeup.

R98 He thinks people being out of work is a good thing. Insane fucker.

On his low approval rating, "Lies from Democrats."

R96 Is it White House incompetence?

I'm thinking it's Stephen Miller, deliberately trolling us.

So....um....did I just read something about Jeanine Pirro? or was that a bad dream? (or an SNL spoof???)

Well this means we can expect to see Cecily Strong on SNL this weekend

Few minutes ago on MSNBC.... Trump tells the weasel asshole speaker Mike Johnson to consider raising a "tiny tax" on the wealthy.

Am I in the twilight zone? What what did he just say to the speaker? A "tiny tax" on the wealthy? Only God knows what his angle is with this outburst.

That means to give the top 1% a 0.01% less of a tax cut break. You know, for appearance sake.

Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) for the win!

[quote] Casar: "I've knocked on thousands of doors and not a single time has someone flung open their door and said, 'Thank God you're here, congressman.

May I recommend we nominate OP's for DL's Golden Throat Award?

I meant OP'a title for this thread

I assume we would need to sample OP's throat to determine just how golden it is.

The keep the Trump Tax cuts for all categories except raise them on the top tier was A BIDEN POLICY>

Trump knows he has crippled the IRS to the point that collecting on the rich is now impossible.

Interesting budget ploy when he doesn't get a rise in the Debt Ceiling AND kills Medicaid.

That’s an insult to witch doctors everywhere!

Yes another DUI hire.

He wants to suspend habeas corpus.

[quote]He wants to suspend habeas corpus.

And I want to marry Jean Dujardin.

I'm thinking the odds on either scenario are unlikely.

They are in major “Look, DISTRACTION!” mode.

The EVENTUAL suspension of Habeas Corpus is the goal of this Administration, inching to Dictatorship.

Suspending the Constitution and suspending elections leaves Trump a Putin for life.

R125 - Lets hope is a short life - DUMP is looking rather depleted lately. His presence in the Oval Office of him slumped in the chair at the Resolute desk is not very commanding yet Vance, NutNick and others are hovering behind him. Is he being 'handled' - I believe to a certain extend he is. The only hold they have on the MAGA crowd is through him and if he goes then all bets are off. MSNBC paints a bleak picture of all the background stuff going on yet most don't see (or care!!) about that.

Icky/r126, that is the success of the Murdoch/Marketing/Analytics Machine.

They sold us a second sugar-coated bag of Trump shit.

And the White Heritage Foundation is happy he is making progress on destroying the government.

Will Jaydine keep the undead Goebbels around when the orange traitor croaks? Or will Thiel replace him with someone worse?

R127 - Sad, but true. The Ignorance of the general populace is dumbfounding which is why they are easily duped. The fact that the current (maybe long term?) administration is dismantling everything that most of us rely on then declare Martial Law (or some other fabricated action). When people revolt it will be too late and the collapse will be complete and civil unrest will be rampant. It's a bleak scenario but those that didn't heed the warnings will suffer the most. I am a pragmatic optimist and do what I can and conduct myself in a responsible manner, as many are doing, but it's almost like swimming against the tide as the storm rolls in.

Trump has a statue of the "Tommy boy, you had ONE job" incident in that middle eastern whorehouse we (you know, the people) used to refer to as the Oval Office.

Speaking of Tommy, Cotton & Lindsey are working as a team.

^ Closet cases stick together

Which one is the top?

I think Cotton is a top. He looks like he would be hung.

They scissor. I explained to them how to do it. I was concerned they may be confused.

"Tommy, you had one job"

Did I miss something? Help me out here. I don't get the reference in regards to the "assassination attempt".

I'm sure they've got Donald on a suite of medications to slow down the progress of his Alzheimers and keep him manageable. Giving him a military parade for his birthday seems like a Make A Wish gesture. I mean he said during his first term that he wanted one, but they sensibly managed to stall him.

Didn't they already have a parade in the first go-round? Was that the time Melania had her lopsided tits in the white dress while it rained?

^^^^.

Eye looking be best in ze photo R139!

R136, Tommy Crooks...

Trump must have fire trucks 🚒 for the parade. Miss Lindz will be riding with the menz on the fire trucks.

Just like a *big* boy!

^^It's GIFs like that remind me HOW MUCH I HATE HIM!!

AOC Just Exposed Trump's BOMBSHELL PLAN... it's BAD

Trump Administration Preparing to Accept Luxury Jet from Qatar's Royal Family:

The Trump administration is getting ready to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar to replace Air Force One until Donald Trump's second term ends, when ownership of the plane will be shifted to his presidential library foundation, ABC News reported, citing sources familiar with the agreement.

Trump is scheduled to visit Qatar next week where the gifted plane - which has been described as "a flying palace" worth $400 million - is anticipated to be announced. If the deal goes through, it would be the most expensive gift ever offered to the United States by a foreign government. Trump personally toured the plane in February when it was at West Palm Beach International Airport.

The emoluments clause of the Constitution bars federal officeholders from "accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State" without approval from Congress. But administration lawyers have given the gift the green light.

Per ABC News' sources, Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Counsel David Warrington determined it is "legally permissible" because the plane will be given on the terms that its ownership will transfer to Trump's presidential library before he leaves office. But first, the 13-year-old plane will be given to the U.S. Air Force, which will cover the costs of updating the plane to meet U.S. military specifications necessary to transport the president, ABC News sources familiar with the anticipated arrangement.

[quote]But first, the 13-year-old plane will be given to the U.S. Air Force, which will cover the costs of updating the plane to meet U.S. military specifications necessary to transport the president

U.S. Air Force = U.S. taxpayer

R147, that caught my eye as well. All of the personnel they terminated and the many agencies they gutted all in the name of "cost-cutting." Now he's getting a $52M parade for his birthday which reportedly will be funded by a re-allocation of funds taken from Army training coffers.

The richest country in the world taking the sloppy seconds of Qatar?

AI Overview:

[quote]In a concerning series of events, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman has experienced multiple incidents where fighter jets have fallen overboard into the Red Sea. Two F/A-18 Super Hornets were lost within a week, including one that went overboard after the aircraft's arrestment system failed during landing. A third Super Hornet was also lost after tipping off the deck.

[QUOTE]I'm sure they've got Donald on a suite of medications to slow down the progress of his Alzheimers and keep him manageable.

I've wondered how compliant he is with his Alzheimer's meds. He has a history of pill-popping and understanding that they make him feel better, but his narcissisism and the paranoia that often accompanies dementia can make him obstinately non-compliant.

My mother was like that, big narc -- she always knew better than anyone else, despite being the most ignorant person in the room. Before dementia, she deferred to male authority (her doctor) and took her cholesterol meds regularly, but as the Alzheimer's took hold, she became more knowledgeable than her doctor and started refusing the meds, which was her right and made my life miserable as her caretaker.

I've mentioned this before on other Trump threads: if there's a silver lining to all of this, it's that he's making life an absolutely miserable living hell for those surrounding him.

I feel your pain R151. My mom was very similar, except in her case it was vascular dementia. This is terrible of me to say, but when she stroked out and finally had to be placed in a memory care unit, it was a blessing. She was totally out of control at home with me as her caretaker. Luckily, she had the cash to pay for the nursing home.

Just to add to R146. "The Trumps seem to be fostering a close relationship with the Qatari government and royal family. Late last month, the Trump Organization announced it has agreed to build a new Middle East golf course in Qatar in partnership with Qatari Diar, a real estate company created by the nation's sovereign wealth fund. The chair of Qatari Diar is a minister in the government of Qatar." WHERE IS CONGRESS?????

[quote]Harris Administration Preparing to Accept Luxury Jet from Qatar's Royal Family

Just trying to imagine the reaction from Republicans and the media if Kamala had won and this was the headline this morning….

R155 We're really so far beyond that now. There is no point to even imagine any Democrat doing what these people are doing.

We are now living in a completely different country.

My theory on the Dems lack of action:

1) Some are complicit: We have to realize and confront this. Especially higher-ups. We know who some of them are, (example: I've always been a fan of Pelosi; but we know she's far wealthier than is plausible, and we know why), but not all. We also don't know the degree. Maybe some day more will come out.

2) Many who aren't complicit, were traumatized by the "results" of the 2024 election, (like more than half of the population of the entire country!). I put results in quotes because I'm in the small percentage who believes, absolutely, this election was stolen; I believe that if all the legal votes cast by the American electorate had been tabulated, not only would Kamala have won, she would have won handily.

But not only did Elon/Putin and gang pull off another heist brilliantly, but they were able to do it so well they got the popular vote as well! This is the crucial difference. Dems feel that (collectively), we voted for him! Therefore, we deserve what we're getting! There's no fight. They believe we are in the minority, (unlike, say, the 2016 results).

I don't believe that at all. I believe at least 55% of all those that cast legal votes, voted for Kamala - or at the very least, against Drumpf!

So they're doing what people who are traumatized do: they're failing and flailing.

But that's just my humble opinion!

R156 here back for a minute.

I forgot to add...the Drumpf people KNOW this. They know they cheated. They know they're getting away with it. They know we're doing nothing about it. Therefore, they're just steamrolling over us at a rapid pace. Yet still aware there is still evidence, they are doing everything as fast as they can, just in case or before someone does find evidence and starts to move on it. They're covering their tracks and disappearing any traces of evidence still left.

As for the laws, they no they're breaking them. They know what's left of our courts are stopping them. But it's only temporary. They need the courts' actions in order to continue with their plan; (one of them, anyway). To change the laws in their favor.

[quote]I've always been a fan of Pelosi; but we know she's far wealthier than is plausible

Especially with that do nothing husband of hers, r156!

Republicans in Congress spent two years investigating Hunter Biden on trying to use his father's position (which was actually none at that time) to leverage a lucrative position. And yet they are ignoring the blatant corruption, influence peddling by Trump and those around him. There are turning America from a democracy into a kleptocracy.

Loomer almost making sense, this frequently is really freaking me out

moar ^^^

Damn, even the crazies are wondering if Trump might be just a little too crazy.

Pelosi is rich because, among other legal reasons, her husband’s job.

Exactly, r163.

Doris, where are you?

Here, r165/FCI.

Sign your name r165 🤣

I am r163 and didn’t sign my name.

He'll never even be able to even crawl to the finish line. My prediction.

Come on out here to the boondocks and you’ll see that when the time comes, Dump will be carried on an ornate litter to the finish line. You have no idea how stupid these Proud Boys and Girls are. They love his horrific ass.

And most of the 1% love him because the economy tanking is great for them. They have gajillions of dollars laundered somewhere and as soon as most our businesses and services actually collapse, they’ll swoop on in and make more $$$ on the left overs.

Which, thru back door arrangements with countries like Russia and Quatar, the rubble of our lives will be spun into whatever these oligarchs want. And we’ll be out toiling in their fields and filling up the sweat shops that will be created for us formerly solidly middle class people. ( And lower class people too, although Dump or Leon may make some of them foremen.)

For two groups of people - idiots and 1% - Trump is a hero.

And yes I do want to reach for my revolver when I write that sentence.

What makes people like the most unlikable person on earth?

Wha-what? *We're* not giving Trump a plane...probably.

Gimme Guy. I'm sticking with that moniker.

They like him.

When they look at Dump, they see a good man.

They don’t see what you and I see: what the Courts have judged; witnesses testified to; the people whose lives he’s destroyed many have lived to bear witness

Yes, I, too find that a horrible truth, but here we are.

. They’re waiting for Dump to get them working again and living life like they used to in 1980. He’s got a plan, they think.

And when it’s “ Go time!”, he’ll tell us. Cause he’s just a regular guy.

It's a widespread cult of stupid people. Scary to know how many of them are out there.

Election results were Trump 77 million vs Kamala 75 million. The electoral college gave him the win.

There's a new Trump meme, Brain is Cooked.

Nancy Pelosi has indulged in insider trading, as have many Democratic leaders. It's the least of crimes for many of the wealthy, but enough to hold against them should they have attempted to fight Trump harder.

There's lots of blackmail stuff out there we don't know about. What we do know is that Drumpf was Roy Cohn's protege, and Roy Cohn showed Trump how to secretly record people (judges, for example) in compromising situations, keep it in the bank, and use it against them later. Think of all the videotapes Bill Barr must have confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein that is now somewhere in Drumpf's possession..

Did Epstein seriously kill himself, or was he suicided? It's my opinion that the Epstein case figures far more into what is presently happening to our country far more than people realize.

R178 No

Dotard caved on tariffs again. What a mess.

Now, you can ride out the supply chain disruptions if you stocked up. The ships take weeks to get here, and weeks to get to your location depending on where you live.

I’m sure he will declare victory, FCI. That’s what he does, he says he’s going to so something horrible, the markets tank, he caves, and declares victory.

He did the exact same thing the first time around. Bluster, cave, then declare victory. I predict this will all end up like his first time as well-impeachment and an electoral loss, followed by him riling up his goons to storm the Capitol again.

The trumptards are bigots, first and foremost.

He spun them a tale that they are downtrodden because “illegals” and (the n word ) are taking THEIR high paying jobs.

He told them that if it were for these “uppity” groups being DEI hires, THEY would be rich like him. And the dumb fucks believed every fucking word.

That’s why they will never abandon him, NO MATTER WHAT. He tells them what they WANT TO HEAR and promises to “get rid” of everyone not white, male and straight.

They love his lies and bloviating because it upsets them people THEY HATE THE MOST.

We need to stop thinking these stupid cunts will “come to their senses” because they never will. A few here and there might, but the majority will never. Even when the fucker is dead and gone, these fools will wax nostalgic about his reigns of terror. Just like they did with Raygun

“Russian intelligence is behind some of the most prolific MAGA accounts, that's been known. That's why we need legislation to hold them accountable under the exisiting espionage laws or create new anti- state sponsored troll legislation.”

Rethugs are complicit cowards, r201

I just saw a scary post online about how difficult they are making it for Americans to go to Canada of all places. And someone mentioned that they will eventually make it impossible for Americans to leave this country at all.

What would be the point of that? Are we in the late 1930s Jews should probably get the fuck out of here” stage yet? I can’t quite wrap my head around what their angle is here? They need to make us prisoners in labor camps? My gay ass is going to a “Jezebel’s” (a la The Handmaid’s Tale)?

I’m actually starting to get scared. The complete lack of Congressional pushback/oversight of ANY of this ratfuckery really is just astounding.

Until then, I would suggest that gays fuck as much as possible before they resurrect Bowers v. Hardwick.

Forgot to sign my post above. Thinking of you all.

Well, [italic]we'll[/italic] still be able to leave the country.

Man Trump put in charge of the nation's health system admits he knows nothing about keeping people healthy.

What's up with Moskowitz?

Canada has a population of 40 million and barely has the resources to cover their needs and those of a small number of skilled immigrants and asylum seekers fleeing war, famine, and genocide. I'm guessing that Canadian immigration authorities would tell Americans who are looking to relocate there because they're worried the Trump administration might hassle them in some unspecified way at some future time to fuck off.

Canada gets sick of the Gilead (the former U.S. post-fascist takeover) refugees in “The Handmaid’s Tale” and starts committing violence against them.

[quote] I just saw a scary post online about how difficult they are making it for Americans to go to Canada of all places. And someone mentioned that they will eventually make it impossible for Americans to leave this country at all.

I doubt it will ever come to that. Russians haven't been banned from leaving their country in spite of the war, and even with their weaker passport and banking sanctions, it doesn't stop them from going most places. Maybe there will be less visa-free travel in the future if Dump decides to invade Greenland, or our neighbors to the north, or something equally stupid. And I wouldn't blame Canada if they became stricter.

Canada is already very strict. It took me five years and a ton of paperwork even though I’m entitled, by law to citizenship and was working with a Canadian immigration attorney.

R209, Canada has a small population but vast amounts of land and natural resources. I can understand why they would not want an influx of Americans, but saying that it can barely support its current population does not make any sense.

Canada (without interference from the US) has a bright future

A Democrat is ready to challenge for the Senate seat currently held by Miss Lindz.

[quote] An Upstate engineer announced his bid Wednesday to be the 2026 Democratic nominee challenging U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham. Lee Johnson, a Greenville businessman, touts on his campaign website a lifetime of “building things from the ground up,” saying he wants to take his commitment to hard work to Washington.

r213, over half of Canada is frozen tundra. What is tundra? A treeless area where the subsoil is permanently frozen. Most plants cannot grow under such conditions. The climate is extremely hostile to humans, and huge amounts of fuel would be needed to heat homes in such conditions. You cannot look at a map of Canada and imagine that all that land is as fertile as Kansas or as conducive to settlement as the east coast of the US. Most of eastern Canada is part of the Canadian shield - an area where glaciers have scoured off almost all of the topsoil. It is mostly bare rock and bogs. It cannot be farmed except for some dairy farming in a few places. It's possible to do some logging in some places, some mining here and there, some hydroelectric power generation in a few spots. Nothing that would support a large population.

Western Canada is extremely mountainous, limiting travel to certain flatter corridors. There is some very rich farmland in the prairie provinces, but those provinces are sparsely settled because water in the farm regions is limited and cannot support numerous large cities. What I'm driving at is that the habitable part of Canada that can actually support dense populations, where there are access to resources and infrastructure, is probably closer to the size of California or Texas than the massive country that you see on a map. It's a country with huge amounts of coastline, so there is some opportunity for development of ports and trade. And, yes, given time and a lot of development of infrastructure and transportation, Canada could probably support a population of 60,000,000 or even 80,000,000. But absent a gigantic global warming event that would wipe out all the glaciers on the planet and thaws the permafrost, it could not possible support a population like that of the US (340,000,000).

Surreal. It's his Georgia mugshot, I think.

R207 Serious question: Has it occurred to you that's the very reason RFK-douchebag was appointed?

I'm not trying to be a dick. It's just that so many people seem to still be NOT getting it. They are deliberately destroying this country! That IS the plan. It always was.

And those on here who disagree, please tell me. As in, please CONVINCE me. I want to be wrong!

R208 Good question. I'm with the guy in that video you posted. Wtf happened to him???

I'm truly starting to believe there's something in Florida's water system. (Soon after my Democrat liberal brother moved their, he became a Trumper!).

INSIDER TRADING: Pam Bondi sold $1M+ in stock on Trump tariff day

This Hour Has 22 Minutes sketch about US immigrants.

r218, the White Heritage Foundation of Children of Plantation Owners, still doesn't believe that their former livestock should NOT have the vote, or have public medical care or public education. RFK is part of the destruction of Public Health.

please forgive the double negative: corrigenda:

still doesn't believe that their former livestock should HAVE the vote, or HAVE public medical care or HAVE public education.

R203 My fear is that leaving or re-entering the country will get more difficult while other countries make it harder for us to enter. Nobody wants to be hassled going on a trip.

With the tariffs paused (what an absolute joke in economic history the month of April was) they were in effect long enough we will have supply chain issues for one to two months. I’m glad I stocked up on essentials. I don’t trust Dotard to fuck that up again.

Btw- Jake Tapper can fuck all the way off for his book. The only ones responsible for Dotard being president again are the dumbfuck voters. The presidency is not one person it is a whole massive team. A diminished Joe Biden will go down as one of the greatest presidents. I’m also tired of campaigns and how we scrutinize every single thing a candidate does. I don’t care if they are give great stump speeches. What do they stand for, and who will be in their cabinet. That’s all I care about.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Homeland Security starts going through people's phones on domestic flights as well. I'm traveling across country in August to visit family and am considering getting a burner phone.

I certainly would, r227.

At the very least, I would disable voice recognition/voice to text, facial and print unlock. The cops can FORCE you to unlock your phone or unlock it FOR YOU, legally, if it’s set to facial/print unlock.

Disable the face/print unlock, clear your history and disable all recognition options.

Pam Bondi is getting away with way too much.

Her behavior is no surprise. The Senate knew her extreme partisanship and corrupt associations before she was confirmed.

True r229. The whore doesn't even pretend that she is anything other than a loyal cult member for Trump. Every other attorney general (maybe not John Mitchell?) at least tried to keep a little bit of distance because part of the job of attorney general is to investigate the administration if necessary. This bitch doesn't make the slightest pretense that she would ever investigate her fellow Trumpistas for anything.

[quote]Pam Bondi is getting away with way too much.

Has there been an edict that specifically dictates the amount of corruption each Drump cabinet appointee is allowed to get away with? I must have missed that news item. Please share a link if possible.

They may as well r231. It could be their version of the Employees Handbook: here are the bribes you are and are not allowed to accept; here are the lies you are encouraged to tell and the lies you should steer clear of, etc, etc.

Those don't exist either.

Just wait until Trump nominates Aileen Cannon as the next Supreme Court justice. She’ll be dumber than Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito will tell her how to vote. She’d be easy pickings for Harlan Crow, but the wrong sex and race.

How much do you think they'll bribe Clarence Thomas to retire?

We all know he wants to anyway, but it doesn't mean he won't hold out for one more payoff.

Arrested Judge Turns Tables On Trump By Using His Immunity Ruling Against Him

Aileen Cannon is already woefully unqualified to be a district judge. To consider her as a supreme would be the just another major disrespectful act by Trump who is shitting all over the US institutions and government.

Maybe the Democrats can go after Cannon with a spate of misinformation and lies like the GOP went after Hunter Biden. "She's a native born Colombian in the U.S. to do cartel bidding." might be a good start.

This concerns me!

Trump plans a series of round table discussions from subordinates and other passionate, prominent, and political sycophants, to advise him on critical social issues.

The initial group will meet in the barroom at Mar-a-Lago. Participants will include Pete Hepseth, Jeanine Pirro, Lindsey Graham, Rep. Michael McCaul, and Rudy Giuliani. The topic will concern promoting and celebrating ‘Sobriety in MAGA America’.

Now he's reposting unhinged conspiracy videos about Hillary

Trump tells Walmart to "EAT THE TARIFFS" rather than raise prices. Which is odd given he's been telling us all along that China has to pay the tariffs.

“Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, ‘EAT THE TARIFFS,’ and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!”

If only the media and the rest of civilization would just ignore him for a week, or even a few days, he'd really cross the threshold of insanity and post even crazier shit than what R250 posted. He's trying to keep the attention on him. After all, his premier in the middle East had him the center of everything and now nothing. He's getting desperate since the Walmart announcement places the cost increases directly on him.

But, but, but, it's like Trump is sounding like a crazed socialist maniac! Why, that can't be right!

They're eating the Tariffs!!!

His MAGAts are Walmart's main customer base. They're going to learn the hard way that Trump could GAS about the cost of their groceries.

The tariffs are not small. He is basically asking Walmart to run a non-profit business.

I have been watching “The Sopranos Marathon” for the last week. The FBI storyline that weaves throughout the seasons is so interesting. The details, notes, teamwork. The need to “wait it out” for the information and building the cases. They gave the FBI agents light moments but never made them out to be fools. It really hit me on this rewatch how tragic The Donald’s disrespect for the work is. How on the mass firings across the country how many hours, weeks, years of irreplaceable work has been destroyed. It is really depressing. ……. I have also managed to miss the news about the Trump a tower and golf course in Vietnam. And he is the ass that gutted Meals on Wheels.

R280 That’s the issue, nightshift, Democrats will never get fair coverage from the media. In fact, Democrats are beat up from the left and the right.

I’m telling you there’s a concerted effort to destroy the Democratic Party from foreign and domestic sources.

The Democrats have been on a losing streak ever since it embraced the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s and the Dixiecrats and Klansmen jumped over to the Republican side. When people say "Democrats have anandoned working people," this is what they really mean. Working people love a society with a clear pecking order where they get to shit on other people without consequences and dream of becoming billionaires while being shat on by actual billionaires.

R309, it’s horrible. He kept babbling about “dead white people” even as white members of the South African delegation told him he was wrong.

Trump also unloaded on NBC reporter Peter Alexander after the reporter asked about the Qatari jet: "You ought to get out of here… It’s NBC trying to get off the subject. You are a terrible reporter. You ought to go back to your studio. No more questions from you. Quiet! Quiet!"

Rump doesn’t even try and hide his racism.

He is such a fucking fool. It's embarrassing to see him in action. Every time, he just goes for the dumbfuck opinion and never relents.

Just a reminder, not sure if it even matters....

We've speculated (or maybe just me) that Trump mostly has no idea what he's talking about when he goes in these meetings. So much of it depends on who he's prepped by; this looks mostly like Stephen Miller's handiwork. I suspect there's also a liason from Vlad.

I mean we knew that, but even so, the bluntness that yes, every element of the federal government is open for business, so to speak, is still shocking. I wonder when they will announce that there is no such thing as bribery per se, just bribery that doesn't benefit Trump and his supporters.

Yeah, brilliant title. The irony with Trump is that he's trying to bring back manufacturing to the U.S. with tariffs at the same time he's deporting all the refugees who would do the labor. Americans won't do those grungy jobs.

The criminals are pardoned and touted as heroes, and true upstanding citizens and leaders are being called bad people.

R368, Trump pardoned someone for taking bribes because he himself had been bribed. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this point.

You can tell it has riled Putin because his response was through his #1 confidant, Medvedev. Shit is serious when Medvedev mentions WW3.

Putin's only cards are his nuclear warheads.

Ultimately, Putin's last best offer, is HIM or NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION.

Europe understands this.

Putin using nukes needs to be his own death sentence. With Trump though, expect capitulation.

Trump needs to use the rhetoric of Reagan, not Andy Dick.

And the stupid pardons just keep on coming.

R389, he probably wants them to do it again!

Didn’t Gretch recently bend her knee to him too? Fucking idiot.

Gretchen may want to buy more cloaking binders.

Weren’t those state charges? He can’t pardon state crimes.

Isn't kidnapping a federal crime?

It most definitely is r393, but I’m not sure where these assholes were actually prosecuted—state or federal. Off to Google I guess, although I don’t want to really read anything about these assholes.

"The Trump administration on Wednesday relaxed barriers in 401(k) plans to buying cryptocurrency and related digital assets like NFTs and meme coins. The Labor Department rescinded guidance put in place by the Biden-era Labor Department in 2022 that aimed to safeguard 401(k) investors from such digital assets."

Every day a little death.

I would never consider putting any of my retirement money in crypto. Even a low interest bearing CD would be preferable.

Lindsey Graham messages Putin that Trump is “the new sheriff in town”.

Yeah, a corrupt, incompetent, sheriff that has long been a Putin asset/agent, and who Putin helped get elected twice. Trump has been critical of Ukraine, and has withheld arms and revenue for Ukraine.

Let’s see how much weight Miss Graham has in influencing Trump to seriously support Ukraine and place more sanctions on Russia.

[quote]Lindsey Graham messages Putin that Trump is “the new sheriff in town”.

I’m sure Putin is scurd. Someone is going to fall out a window soon.

I think the Datalounge should be allowed to pick who gets defenestrated, r399.

I guess homegrown gangsters are A-OK with Trump, it's just the ones coming across the border that bother him.

First term pardons...

[quote]Trump granted executive clemency to three court-martialed U.S. military officers who were accused or convicted of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump granted the pardons against the advice of senior military and Defense Department leadership, as well as U.S. military lawyers

The list is long.

Trump is out to destroy the rule of law, our norms, and common decency.

And maggots cheer him on

[quote] Conservative commentator Meghan McCain offered her seal of approval on Wednesday for Laura Loomer to work in the Trump administration and vet the social media accounts of foreign students. Loomer, the far-right activist and longtime conspiracy theorist, is best known for her outlandish rhetoric and for having the ear of President Donald Trump. “The White House is considering doing vetting on the social media accounts of foreign students. Sounds like a dream job for me. I would love to research foreign students all day and find an excuse to block them from coming into our country based on their radicalism,” Loomer wrote on X. “Sign me up,” she added. McCain, the former co-host of The View turned online content creator, agreed with Loomer, writing, “Legit – give her this job.”

Megan McCain is pitching Laura Loomer to rid the U.S. of foreign students. Oh, my!

Moo.

"Oink, oink!" (translation: "pay attention to ME!")

He'll never love you Megan. You too fat.

I hope this is true

Trump admin covering up DEADLY outbreak

R405 I hope the Cindy McCain troll is monitoring this thread so we can hear what she has to say about her fat daughter.

And if any of you haven't seen her postings, do a search. She's becoming a DL Superstar!

FURIOUS West Point Grad DESTROYS Trump after Speech

Like anyone gives a shit what that fat bitch Megan McCain thinks.

WaPo: HHS cancels funding for Moderna to develop vaccines to combat bird flu.

The dept. cited Moderna's use of messenger RNA technology, which it said "remains under-tested," for the cancellation of the funding.

This is the same technology that Trump hailed for saving lives during pandemic with Operation Warp Speed.

r409. - Leo hasn't scheduled it. The Diocese of Chicago and the Whit Sox have. The Pope will be sending a message to play.

R414 ironically the one really great thing Dotard did he doesn’t take credit for.

Because the anti vaccine nutters would have tanked him, r416.

[quote]Because the anti vaccine nutters would have tanked him, [R416].

He's the one that created those nutters.

R415, true, but the Diocese and the White Sox would have cleared this with Leo first.

There is no doubt that the Diocese, White Sox and Vatican are well aware of the dumb parade date when they scheduled this event.

[QUOTE][R415], true, but the Diocese and the White Sox would have cleared this with Leo first.

Why declare the obvious and where did I say they didn't or wouldn't, r419? I'm just reporting the Chicago paper news.

The Pope didn’t make the headlines, dear, as you would seem to think.

Meghan McCain became notable because of her late politician father. Her stint at “The View” was unimpressive.

Who really follows her deliberately on social media? What makes any of her opinions insightful and special?

Reba

^oops, wrong thread

Mace is wacko.

[quote]Mace is wacko.

Water is wet.

The stuff I’ve heard! It has all been shared by her staff, though. She isn’t mentally ill. She has a personality disorder. Is that always a mental illness? She’s scary crazy. She’s going to harm someone.

[quote]r427 = She has a personality disorder. Is that always a mental illness?

I think in her case it is, FCI.

R428 Dangerously so I fear.

[quote]r429 = Dangerously so I fear.

She *will* not be ignored, FCI.

"The Washington Post has now confirmed that it was Trump who asked the Qataris to gift him the plane for free (rather than the Qataris offering it), and that Qatar is demanding a written memo from the White House to this effect before the deal is finalized."

Hey, Qatar! Gimme a plane!

R431, a new development in the wonderful world of euphemisms: I didn’t rob you, I “initiated a free transfer” of funds from your wallet to mine.

I've said this before. Mace is not well. Frighteningly unwell.

Out of the cross burning into actual hell?

^Yeah Musk took Katie. Stephen is angry.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

For more lurid speculation about Musk and the Millers.

[quote]Mr. Musk had been using ketamine often, sometimes daily, and mixing it with other drugs, according to people familiar with his consumption. The line between medical use and recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him.

[quote]He also took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States and in at least one other country, according to those who attended the events.

He needs a hot tub meeting with Jesus...

How does this help the economy, tho?

Trump says he'd consider pardoning Diddy

^ Of course he would, Diddy will just write him a check, like the others.

r427, you're correct, personality disorders (which run rampant in today's GOP) are not categorized as mental illnesses, they're their own thing. And they're difficult if not impossible to treat because the people who have them have zero insight and think all their problems are caused by other people.

What does everyone think of Elon’s drug use?

Lots of Ketermine and it’s confirmed on Adderal. Uppers and downers.

At least 20 different pills a day

Neely O'Musk

[quote]What does everyone think of Elon’s drug use?

I think it's criminal!

Valley of the Dolls: MAGA Edition

I think no one should be surprised he’s a wastrel drug addict.

Look how he behaves in public. He tries to brush it off as being “autistic”, but he’s just a drug addled cunt.

Our media is so lame. Anyone with eyes could see that Elmo is always high as a kite (for years-this is not a recent thing). They're only reporting this now because he's on the outs with Orangina. Stephen Miller probably leaked this to the NYT.

R450, it's easy to get exasperated, but for this to be reported people who were close to Musk while he was in the WH would have to agree to talk to the press. That's probably something they were very reluctant to do while he was still there. Plus, everything is going to hell in a hand basket; chasing information about Musk's drug use and bladder problems may not seem the best use of resources. But in this case Stephen Miller probably did go the NYTimes and give everyone cover to talk.

Trump cuts funding for a potential HIV vaccine

The narrative surrounding Democrat’s “problems” is setting us up to accept them “losing” the midterms I fear.

Forgive the misuse of the apostrophe.

Holy

Fucking

HELL!

R455, What a fucking moron she is

Why are they so sure of themselves?

Cause their boneheaded constituents let them be, r457, at least for now. She may have gone too far with the cunting this time, though, hopefully.

Nancy Mace, step aside! You are no longer the biggest cunt in Washington

Nancy Mace, step aside. You are no longer the biggest cunt in DC

Well R455, we have learned that Joni Ernst is a major CUNTZILLA!
