Gen Milley totally fucked up the 16th hole. Lots of missing balls.

Alito Bit of Soap (President Keyes), Tuesday, 27 June 2023 23:59 (ten months ago) link

Okay he kind of sounds like he knows he’s fucked now

Can I just say? It's unlikely that Trump will ever see jail time, but I love - love! - the idea of all his knucklehead followers getting busted in convoluted, stupid plans to bust him out. Hell, I would love a parade of failed jailbreaks even if Trump was *not* in jail, like these nerds were so far up their own butts they were convinced he was in Guantanamo and hatched some ill-fated schemes.

They used to call that natural selection.

“ “I would say it was bravado, if you want to know the truth, it was bravado,” Trump said in an interview aboard his plane with Semafor and ABC News. “I was talking and just holding up papers and talking about them, but I had no documents. I didn’t have any documents.””

It goes without saying, but what a goddamn fucking moron.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Every time Trump attempts to wriggle out of trouble I think of

Except in our cursed reality 3/4 of the world does Olympic-level mental gymnastics to pretend that they don't see the ALLEGED sprinkles that are vajazzled across the expanse of his pustulant mug

"Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump's breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led (former Chief of Staff) John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter," Taylor writes.

"Afterward, Kelly retold that story to me in visible disgust. Trump, he said, was 'a very, very evil man.'"

There a lot of avenues for disliking this fellow but maybe can we not joke about this one?

Like, the dude has a lot of flaws and vulnerabilities, but let's please not be flippant about pedophilia and incest and the power dynamics involved with rape culture, thxbye

he really loves those documents

EXCLUSIVE: Trump ordered his lawyers to get "my documents" back -- AFTER they told him he'd be indicted https://t.co/ig5qnGfYwh

he was calling for his documents back on truth social like a few weeks ago -- after the indictment

the stuff about his daughter is stomach-churningly evil. i know that she and her husband are corrupt, complicit, consciousless, etc, but i can't help feelign bad for her.

xp his presidential library will just be rows and rows of dusty banker's boxes... go ahead - lift the lid and see what's in there, maybe a yellowed clipping or some golf pants that don't fit anymore

If I hadn’t been prepared by years of jokes about Trump wanting to sleep with Ivanka, I would find this shocking

Alito Bit of Soap (President Keyes), Thursday, 29 June 2023 00:34 (ten months ago) link

it's not shocking but it's disgusting

yeah kind of messed up that the last President is openly talking about fucking his own daughter and the collective reponse is "yeah we already knew that, in fact everyone knew that when he was elected President, and it won't stop him from getting elected again"

Kind of a return to form for this country

Remember, everyone side-eye joked about Saville for years and the truth ended up being WORSE.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 29 June 2023 04:21 (ten months ago) link

He was known to be a corpse-fucker with sanctioned access to at least one hospital morgue for a decade or two before his death, I missed it if something worse came out

(and Trump repeatedly talked on radio, TV and to print reporters decades before these secret tapes abt wanting to fuck his daughter)

serving bundt (sic), Thursday, 29 June 2023 06:10 (ten months ago) link

yeah fair enough, I guess I forgot some ppl knew about the worst stuff (or suspected)

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 29 June 2023 07:02 (ten months ago) link

This is a weird convo to be having but many of savile’s crimes were worse than necrophilia

Grandall Flange (wins), Thursday, 29 June 2023 07:29 (ten months ago) link

wins otm

Daniel_Rf, Thursday, 29 June 2023 10:06 (ten months ago) link

(yes, weird convo but)

Worse in terms of impact on victims, but wildly more precedented wrt being a common and actively supported perk of fame / power / money / monstrous self-confidence. It’s very, very unusual for public figures to have free rein to morgues, with it being reported in fun celebrity gossip newsletters, and (horribly) less so for those around them to treat access to large numbers of vulnerable young people as something to be blind-eyed, giggled about, or reinforced.

Both were known during his lifetime, though, to the degree that he was asked on camera about the more commonly tolerated one. Likewise, it’s unusual for celebrities to publicly talk for decades about how very horny they are for their daughters, but “jokes” about Trump being horny for his daughter are in fact based on his history of saying “I am very horny for my daughter.”

(Square the circle with Trump telling interviewers “Jeffrey Epstein is a cool guy that I admire, who fucks a lot of minors.”)

golly

"Prosecutors are now prepared to 'stack' an 'additional 30 to 45 charges' on top of the 37-count indictment brought against Mr Trump" using new evidence including additional recordings "which reveal Mr Trump making incriminating statements."https://t.co/CHZK0YQLIB

This is the key bit:

could do so in a number of different venues

ie very likely New Jersey due to Bedminster.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 29 June 2023 19:25 (ten months ago) link

I mean at this point his entire gambit to avoid/overturn conviction is to get elected president. They can charge him with 3,000 things, it doesn't matter, he's all in. He'll just keep doubling down, playing up the victim angle.

That won't cut any ice with state charges in, e.g., Georgia.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 29 June 2023 19:29 (ten months ago) link

So are we saying this possible upcoming round of more indictments may literally be his New Jersey?

I'm not saying it's a well-thought-out strategy. That's not his thing. He's just running on sheer bullish instinct — it more or less hasn't failed him yet. People have told him he's fucked 10,000 times in his life and he's always just said, "I'm not fucked, YOU'RE fucked," and here he is at 77 running neck and neck for a second term as president.

The best thing for all concerned would be for him just to die.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 29 June 2023 20:01 (ten months ago) link

I have no fucking doubt that this piece of shit will get a second term. Biden will tell us he’s so disappointed, but that “staying high while they go low” will continue to be the best path forward. Always be a good sport!
