Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

karma police arrest that man. and matt gaetz, same deal. he's not indicted yet? why? i don't call cops, but i would call the cops on gaetz if he lived in my town and i knew he'd done 1/10th of what he very obviously did

i get that our justice system is incredibly slow and a complete failure. maybe it's taking a minute to get the evidence in the right bag, and prepare the correct documents. but also, it's been crystal clear that giuliani is a corrupt piece of shit for several decades now. probably safe to begin drafting the legal documentation ahead of time? was anyone shocked that gaetz will do whatever it takes to sleep with teenagers?

With cable shows about sugar daddies, feel like Gaetz is benefitting from desensitization.

I get that expectations and standards have been wholly lowered by this point, but it does kind of astound me that a sitting member of Congress is accused of paying for sex with a minor via an app and it's still a comparatively niche news story.

then he went on the America First! tour with MTG, and everyone cheered for them

all comes back to Trump himself, doesn't it? Gaetz is a sexpest but no moreso than Trump is. MTG is a fucking lunatic but the stuff she says is no dumber than what Trump says on a daily basis. Giuliani is corrupt as hell but Don's in a whole other league. Republican voters do not care. so why *not* go on tour?

Trump literally got hundreds of thousands of people killed and incited a goddamn riot at the Capitol and the only thing that happened to him is he got banned from Twitter

And millions of people would happily reelect him.

"Gaetz is against cancelling Xmas, and I'm against cancelling Xmas, so therefore..." etc.

Republican voters do not care.

This understates the situation. It's not "I've heard the accusations and I don't care."

It's "I wear the scorn of the woke libs as a badge of honor. The baseless accusations of the FAKE NEWS lamestream media just solidify my support for these patriot warriors for MAGAtruth!!!!"

Simply "not caring" would be indifference. This lunacy is reactive, and it is a feedback loop. The more Gaetz and MTG get vilified by the liberal media elite, the more their fans double down and increase in fervency.

or what Andy the Grasshopper said

I'd argue that's it's just as likely that they have not heard any such accusations as the media they follow shields them from anything negative about their team above and beyond anything else

Exactly. It makes no difference that Biden spoke not word one about taking away anybody's hamburgers; to be on the side of hamburgers is to protect our values against rampant pedo-socialism, so count me in!!

Remember when Obama was gonna take all the guns?

Good times, good times.

A little more on that business side of things. Some details in here (such as more on disclosure when asking for loans) I wasn't aware of.

*taps “ah well nevertheless” tweet*

Grand jury convened in Trump criminal probe to hear evidence, weigh potential charges https://t.co/MXL5g6R59e

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) May 25, 2021

the grand jury is for the next 6 months, if i remember correctly from reading that this morning. shortly after that, he'll announce he's running for president in 2024, he'll be the frontrunner, and the investigations will halt because it's unprecedented

that makes him smart

lol that is absolutely what will happen.

In a statement issued through his leadership political action committee Save America, Trump hammered Ryan as a “RINO” — Republican in name only

From wikipedia: "Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987 and since that time has changed his party affiliation five times. In 1999, Trump changed his party affiliation to the Independence Party of New York. In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. In September 2009, Trump changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). In April 2012, Trump again returned to the Republican Party..."

Sometimes I think someone told him it stood for something else and he thinks it's a deep burn.

he has internalized it as "rhino in name only" and thinks the rhino is the best animal

VIA JUMBOTRON!

I'm always impressed by the subtle aesthetic touch of such posters.

It looks like a rodeo bill, or like an amateur boxing or wrestling tournament or a mariachi festival, like this:

DT: Da Last Real Don President

Sad times

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/02/trump-blog-page-shuts-down-for-good.html

cancel culture strikes again

man I'm not looking forward to this guy being President again in August

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/95/CountingCrowsAugustandEverythingAfter.jpg

another blow for the blogosphere

So they ... cancelled him?

That is truly sad (pathetic-sad, obviously, not the other sad).

That looks like a David Rees cartoon.

Trump has continued to tease a potential White House bid in 2024 but also play into false beliefs from some of his supporters that he'll be reinstated as president.

QAnon conspiracy theorists and Trump-supporting online forums have promoted the dangerous suggestion that a military coup like the one in Myanmar should occur in the US so Trump can be reinstated as President in the coming months.

Ahh yes - now the 'patriots' who loathe gov't tyranny and overreach are dreaming of military junta, makes total sense to me

We should just let them believe he's President.

Seriously Biden should just go out and claim “no really Trump is the president I am just a front, and my friend T. wants everybody to call their senator and demand they pass the PRO Act and the John Lewis Act, MAGA!”

i think that's usually when the simulation ends

when you can no longer tell the difference between television and real life

I stand by my rock-solid assertion that Biden actually received 17 million more votes than Trump, but for fraud. Hopefully the AZ audit will back this up.

How do those vote totals figure in the fact that Trump himself is a fraud?

Ultimately the world would be a much better place with Trump dead

a little late (but I won't say no)

There's an alternate universe where he's unable to avoid the draft and heroically dies from infected bone spurs in a Saigon hospital bed

something always brings me back to you
it never takes too long

Bargain hunters are swooping in to take advantage of prices in Trump buildings that have dropped to levels not seen in over a decade, a crash brokers attribute to a combination of the former president's polarizing image and the coronavirus pandemic. It’s a stunning reversal for a brand that once lured the rich and famous willing to pay a premium to live in a building with Trump’s gilded name on it.

“They’re giving them away,” says Lane Blue who paid $160,500 in March for a studio in Trump’s Las Vegas tower, $350,000 less than the seller paid in 2008.
