Trump threatens to take over New York and DC.

How?

New Yorkers: You can greet him this weekend and let him know what you think of him. He rarely, if ever, appears in a non-redneck state. So, let's hear it!

[quote]President Donald Trump will be in New Jersey attending the FIFA Club World Cup Championship at MetLife Stadium on July 13. The president told reporters on July 8 that he will be watching the soccer game in-person this upcoming Sunday.

Who knows r1. Just senile ramblings I assume, like pretty much every thing from this demented weasel these days.

He can have Staten Island.

There are so many stupid people out there that probably think this is possible. No wonder they believe that Trump has the power to change anything they don’t like.

Zohran Mamdani pledged that, if elected Mayor of New York City, he would have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested should Netanyahu ever visit NYC. Mamdani bases this on the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant out for Netanyahu over alleged war crimes in Gaza. This would give Trump cover for deporting Mamdani first. Get your pop-corn girls.

When is this scumbag going to drop dead?

R7 - Not anytime soon enough. Tonight would be ideal.

Just DIE!

I'm confused. I don't understand how Mamdani could do this. Isn't the UN considered neutral territory? Haven't all sorts of terrible leaders in the past visited? Didn't Giuliani try to arrest Castro in the 1990s and fail miserably? Last I checked the people deciding who to let into the country report to the President, not the Mayor.

Several NYC agencies, like NYCHA and Rikers are already under a consent decree/federal monitoring because they’ve been found guilty of corruption or gross mismanagement.

It’s not inconceivable to me that the justice department could bring additional cases that put additional city agencies under federal supervision. Especially since there is a lot of corruption in city government.

So I assume New York gets to do the same at the White House and DOJ r11? There is after all, considerable corruption at both of those places.

Maybe they can find those mysterious Epstein Files.

I despise that pig.

R12 I get your point, but practically speaking, it’s hard for a municipality to sue the federal government as the federal government has sovereign immunity

He can't r10. He's fucking with them, in an entertaining way. And why should Trump and the Cult have all the fun these days. Everybody should be finding ways to fuck with them, and laugh at them, and tell them they're shitweasels, over and over and over again. On the other hand, do arrest them wherever that is actually possible. They're all criminals after all, so it would be fun to arrest a few Trump admin grifters now and then.

Surprised Los Angeles didn't make the list...

What's with the paper covered water glasses?

It's like a Motel 6 from 1994.

He was wearing burnt sienna makeup today, but it stopped about an inch from his hairline. Why does he wear it? Who applies it? Why don't his handlers have an intervention with him about it?

They tried r18. He ordered their immediate execution.

We had no choice but to comply.

1291 days left…

The Retard Years

This is just another distraction by Trump, to avert the media‘s and public’s attention from the bad things that he’s actually doing.

One pundit has called this tactic the use of weapons of mass distraction.

#r18 - o have really been wondering that too!!!! Why doesn’t Melania or Ivana wet their fingertips and feather that Ben Nye Greasepaint up into his hairline before he goes on camera? Or remember our mothers? Whose mom didn’t AT LEAST once grab a napkin off of the dinner table at a restaurant and dip it in a glass of ice water and do that fast dabbing clean up on your face? …… You wou think Mark Burnett from the Apprentice or Jon Voight might give him a few pointers . He looks like a cross between an Oompa Loompa and Baby Jane. Can you imagine his “ring around the collar?”

I meant Ivanka - but the ghost of Ivana could do it too, I suppose!

[quote] Why doesn’t Melania or Ivana wet their fingertips and feather that Ben Nye Greasepaint up into his hairline

Well, for one, they never see him.

Two, even if they did, I doubt they care.

Just let the fucker try to take me over!

R18 & R23. I’m guessing that Trump doesn’t let anything on or in his body unless he has complete control over it.

He’s despised by most people in NYC. Perhaps this is his chance to get back at them under the guise of protecting America from “Communism.” Never mind that he’s destroying democracy.

Oh yeah, it’s the new Mother Nature taking over.

R17, Fear of being poisoned?

His rosacea was really bad. Or is this an allergic reaction to the caked on orange makeup? Oh well, maybe it'll eventually kill him. 🙏

R14 sovereign immunity doesn’t mean what you think it means. The federal govt gets sued every single day.

[quote]Why doesn’t Melania or Ivana wet their fingertips and feather that Ben Nye Greasepaint up into his hairline before he goes on camera?

Melanie is on her three week, contractually negotiated marital pause after that 4th of July balcony smooch.

R11 for the win

Never say never. What is exploding the ICE (Trump gestapo) budget for? They can do everything in their considerable power to try this and at least they can be used to intimidate and terrorize the citizenry.

The president who did nothing but win and sweep to an amazing victory for him and the gop house and senate. While capturing the popular vote and becoming the majority party in terms of members.

And what dies he do celebrate the July 4th time frame

We points out that democrats are enemies of America and how much he hates them,

Worse far worse is coming and so far the Dems have absolute shit in terms of fighting back with the exception of AOC and some commie socialist in NYC.

It’s all going to get worse these are the good old days.

Vote Vote Vote but in terms of voter registration and wanting a career id suggest registration as an independent unless you want a federal govt job then you have one choice and it’s not Dem..

He’ll probably do it, with the support of SCOTUS.

If the president declares a national emergency he can do lots of things. This is what losing looks like. This is what being a part of a less popular smaller losing party is like.

You end up eating a lot of shit. Winners eat cake.

I can absolutely see this and much worse happening after the midterms are rigged and the GOP is embedded in power for life. But oh yeah let's all get pumped for Pete Buttigieg '28! Call your Senators! And don't forget to give piles of your hard-earned cash to the do-nothing DNC!

They could take over DC. Generally, the Constitution delegates the power over the District to Congress. DC has home rule pursuant to statute, which can be changed.

R36- AOC - her ONLY accomplishment is scaring off AMAZON from bringing 25,000 high paying jobs to NYC.

R41 maybe so but she is the one sending me nice friendly update emails. The clowns at the DNC or other blue fundraisers send me begging the world is going to end spam and junk emails.

I bet there are a lot more democrats like me today than there was a year ago. I think the Dems are worse off than we realize.

"High-paying" Amazon jobs lol. WTF are you smoking, besides Jeff Bezo's gnarled little cock?

the Deep Orange Nubian Princess extra thick SPF -0 pancaked polyurethane/ plaster of Paris / base that this vile irredeemable cunt slathers on his decomposing face daily, is manufactured and sold exclusively by a Manhattan retailer. Also, the long island city COSTCO sells the quadruple x fatso adult diapers at a cost unmatched in any red state.

So if NYC just jacks the tariffs on those items, he should TACO his fat ass back to DC/FLA ASAP.

R42: There are many Dems, older white women a plurality, who cannot accept that Harris and Dem messaging were unpopular; instead, they cling to the idea of "stolen votes" denying her the job. Trump is [bold]nowhere near[/bold] qualified for the job, whereas she would have been capable. It's the non-economic shite that doomed Dems. An example: very few voters were concerned about "ripping apart (arrived) families" least of all Hispanic legal residents. No one was clamoring for a Juneteenth holiday. Etc.

Yeah, we want to lose holidays, not gain them!

Every morning my partner comes downstairs and asks if IT is dead yet.

Like this.

[quote] If the president declares a national emergency he can do lots of things.

Not really.

Anyone who thinks this all ends with Trump's death is an idiot.

[quote] Anyone who thinks this all ends with Trump's death is an idiot.

No, but it would be a good start. Plus we could use a feel good moment.

Come on Fatso, take me over, you fat bitch!

How on earth would it be a "feel good moment?" You act as if nothing has changed since 2016. When Trump dies there's going to be a media-enforced morning period that will make Reagan's overblown funeral look like a baby shower. Whoever succeeds him is also going to be much more energetic about dismantling democracy and bringing down the hammer of authoritarianism on everyone who doesn't submit. Yet you think there's going to be street parties or ... what, exactly? We'll still have his evil spawn everywhere, and FOX news making a saint out of him.

You think it's a cult now? Just wait. The North Koreazation of the US will continue long after he's gone unless people finally put a stop to it.

This ends when people rise up and stop it once and for all and not a second sooner. Most of us, especially the elder gays, won't live to see it.

[quote]AOC - her ONLY accomplishment is scaring off AMAZON from bringing 25,000 high paying jobs to NYC.

AOC knew exactly how it was going to pan out:

Of course r54. Big corporations love selling these big, bold, stupid, fucked up and ridiculous notions of all the amazing things they'll be bringing in to the area if only everyone meets all their stupid fucking whims and "needs." The result is generally shit and nonsense that never quite works out.

If a bloated corporation really wants to open something in your area, fine, but don't jump through a million hoops just to get them to saddle you with some fucking bill and a few nothing jobs, that mostly crowd out useful jobs and useful enterprises.

Calm down, toots R53. There will be mass celebrations when he dies. And none of his minions have his con man charisma. Who's gonna corral the MAGA cult? Couch fucker JD? Cokehead Junior?

It will be the beginning of the end of MAGA. Besides, Democrats will have to come behind and clean up the wreckage as they always do (see Clinton after Reagan/Bush 1; Obama after Bush 2; and Biden after Trump 1.0)

I suspect you are right r56. I'm not sure anybody but Trump can hold all this nonsensical bullshit together, although I'm sure they'll try.

In fact, I suspect they're already trying as Trump seems to be slipping into senility. I suspect there is all kinds of shit going on behind the scenes, as Vance and Miller and the hapless Don Jr. and maybe even a few people we aren't even thinking of yet struggle to figure out how to keep this shit going just long enough to get to phase II.

But I'm really not convinced anybody can.
