Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

It would have been cool if he’d taken a nuke with him

"woke Americans wanting to arrest the President simply because they "don't want to be nuked". the Constitution provides no express protection against being nuked. get over it."

McConnell's silence is most telling of all... all he fucking cares about is regaining majority and that his blackened, bruised hands don't fall off

Pretty sure he gave a fairly muted, non crazy reaction when news of the raid first dropped.

yeah, that's what I mean by silence.. "let's not rush to judgement, let's see how this plays out etc" = silence

That’s what I was getting at, too.

McConnell's a knob but he's a strategist - while this raid might give a bump for Trump himself, it's really not helpful for the Party going into the midterms

Any benefit might go more to trumpist loons in the primaries, who'll be easily picked off in the general, at least in some districts/states

so i took a little nuke when i left, who cares, its tiny couldnt hurt a fly, i keep it on my desk, its beautiful perfectly made the type of thing thats so wonderful about this country, i show it to kids the little boys they go crazy for it ask me if they can set it off they say they want to be an army man when they grow up, and now the fbi wants to say im doing something wrong

'I mean, why is everyone so secret about nukes? Why so secret? Let's get it out there, they'll show us theirs, we'll show them ours.. we need transparency about nukes, also about lo-flow shower heads, he's a great guy, he said there's no way he'd ever nuke us, not with me in office... now Sleepy Joe, well, I can't say.. can't guarantee we won't be nuked, if you could see...'

Just thinking about that $2,000,000,000 deal Kushner made with the Saudis

there were a lot of Trumpers saying he had the legal right to take whatever he wanted and that he could declassify documents *after* he left office.

almost as if Trumpers don't actually know how government works.

That has created a sense of dog-catches-the-car whiplash for Trump and his team, who now must decide whether to permit the quick release of the search warrant — which may point to specific crimes that are under investigation — and a receipt detailing the items seized by FBI agents during the search..

'dog catches car' is a great metaphor for the GOP's current plight

Unbelievable

he’s already fundraising pic.twitter.com/LHukDxFJkf

hmm, sky's a bit more orange tonight, let me go outside and ch

Not a peep from the Trumpists right now they must be workshopping a really insane excuse

Pins and needles waiting to hear the spin from the right on this

y'know that tweet is a joke right?

though not the fundraising part obv

But the fact it could be real says so much about our society :)

Also how is the Times going to take a neutral, dignified position on this?

Trump Said the Mar-A-Lago Raid Was a Political Hit Job. But Some Disagree.

maybe you can try to understand the New York Times's effect on man

Okay but surely, SURELY, now that we know what he took, the Times will take a clear stand. I'm just gonna go to bed and sleep comfortably, confident that the Times will do the right thing.

maybe he lost a golf game with Putin... pee tape vs. strategic nuclear documentation, winner takes all

shirtless putin with ripped abs: be careful Donald, or you might have to take your next shot...from the bunker

god even I didn't expect it to be something this bad

like ALL THE FUCKING SCANDALS this dude had, all the extensive shit with Russia & randomly leaking classified secrets to them, then extorting Ukraine for Biden dirt, then straight up invoking a gang of insurrectionists to MURDER THE VICE PRESIDENT and somehow, fucking SOMEHOW, this might be the most insane of them all!! didn't he first ask to view this stuff right before his left office? like what is the point of keeping the toppest of top secret NUCLEAR documents IN YOUR HOUSE unless you were willing to sell them to another nation??? is there literally any worse crime against the country you can commit??

..."polls show that 44% believe the FBI planted the evidence, after weeks of tucker carlson blalaldsf;lsdf"

let's be clear: this is not real life. this is ninja gaiden fan fiction

god I just can't process it right now, on top of the five separate felonies he's already being investigated for it looks like he's committed a crime which I think would get you the death penalty everywhere on Earth

I’m lolling right now but I’m also not going to get my hopes up it’s like actual bomb plans. But after the last several years of madness have shown us things that exceed all our imaginations.

…there are things and events that have exceeded our imaginations.

*jots down a few notes*

i'd say this year has exceeded imaginations, easily

You wouldn't raid a butt

You wouldn't download a nuke

re: getting your hopes up, I understand because this right here would be pretty much the only crime imaginable that would actually land Trump in jail, but on the other hand I'm not sure I want to live in a country where the leader of one of the two political parties is selling nuclear secrets to the only country able to successfully pull off a terrorist attack against us

i'm not sure i want to live here now anyway. all this is like side quest shit

looks like he's giving the feds the green light to release the warrant

no no this is gonna be one of those "I will show you my tax returns but I can't because of the AUDIT" things

so now it’s illegal to be interested in physics

Astonishing that there was that doc about NYT fighting for democracy at the start of the Trump era, and it's been pretty appalling at not both-sidesing every step of the way.

xp lol

(realized shortly after posting that i saw that line on twitter late last night and thats why it popped into my head this morning. dont want to get caught being dishonest on the trump thread)

Stealing Twitter valor

So this pretty much confirms the presence of secret nuclear stuff, right?

i don't understand why he would want this information
