Don't taint that song.

may the vote rise with you

Honestly, the Trump part of that video was way far down the list of most disturbing elements. Wtf even was that?

Having a medical exam on tv doesn’t seem like a good way to change the subject

You keep saying that, Alfred. I am not intending to taint, just using for talismanic value to ward off the bad juju going around, like a satchel of gris-gris.

Intending to Taint is one of Muriel Spark's best novels imo

*sadly deletes "lost Limp Bizkit song" joke*

going to add taint to the growing list of words (incl. discharge) that I ask we refrain from using in Trump context

Okay, lol at the Muriel Spark joek. A+

xpost That's gonna be a difficult ask after the world gets a long + loving look at some primetime Trump taint tonight, only on Fox News!

Trump is basically the main character in the Driver's Seat

Exactly!

His post-presidency memoir he'll title Losing with Intent.

are they going to ask him the last 5 questions of the dementia test? because i've heard those are very hard

xpost At this rate, 'taint gonna be a memoir ...

are you the greatest dealmaker of all time?
bleach can kill most bad things, right?
name a book that isn't the bible or art of the deal or the novelization of porky's

That test houldn't be a problem for him at all no matter how hard it is, because he is in his prime.

that's true, the doctors told him that he is better at the dementia test than anyone they've ever seen

Ordinarily the Attorney General of the United States would personally announce a case as massive and important as the plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer.

Where are you, Bill Barr?

I hope Whitner sues the living fuck out of Trump and wins

that woman

The fuck did I do

lol

take one for the team, wins

pretty sure Barr, who's malevolent but no moron, understands which way things are going politically.

everybody looks forward to Trump losing and going away (hopefully), but I really hope living scum like Barr can be stamped out too. it'll be immensely enraging if they're dark money-funded "university" positions, think tank bullshit, and permanent talking heads status on fox.

Forgive me if my eyes deceive me, but I think this @nytimes report insinuates that Donald Trump, an alleged billionaire, laundered an 8-figure sum from business operations in 2016 to fund his campaign. https://t.co/Xgfwzg61eo

we got ol' Donny by the tail now!

big brain genius stuff

xpost - Or it's not his brand to give a shit about white terrorists taking aim at his opponents.

relevant to Barr, from the casual NYT story just now about how Trump is asking his cabinet to indict his political enemies:

The president castigated his own team, declaring that Attorney General William P. Barr would go down in history “as a very sad, sad situation” if he did not indict Democrats like Mr. Biden and former President Barack Obama. He complained that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had not released Hillary Clinton’s emails, saying, “I’m not happy about him for that reason.” And he targeted Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director. “He’s been disappointing,” Mr. Trump said.

“Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes, the greatest political crime in the history of our country, then we’re going to get little satisfaction unless I win and we’ll just have to go, because I won’t forget it,” Mr. Trump said, referring to the investigation into his 2016 campaign ties with Russia. “But these people should be indicted. This was the greatest political crime in the history of our country, and that includes Obama and it includes Biden.”

Mr. Trump has often argued that his political antagonists should be prosecuted, but in this case, he went further by indicating that he had directly pressured Mr. Barr to indict without waiting for more evidence. “He’s got all the information he needs,” the president said. “They want to get more, more, more, they keep getting more. I said, ‘You don’t need any more.’”

None of that tax stuff is about taking down Donald Trump, president. It's a state-by-state , porperty-by-property tee-up (to use a golf metaphor) on how to take down Donald Trump, post president (assuming he even makes it that far). It would be only fitting if the thing that ends him once and for all is real estate.

pobrecito /Ned

if only one of the hundreds of things he deserves to pay for would actually happen

bad news for President Biden

Crazy Nancy Pelosi is looking at the 25th Amendment in order to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. The Dems want that to happen fast because Sleepy Joe is out of it!!!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2020

yep, that's what the meeting is about

what an unexpected twist

the #resistance and the far-right were correct: joe biden has completely lost his mind and can't put together sentences any more. he doesn't make any sense and it's really sad, so now the 25th amendment has to be applied to biden after he wins, which he won't because trump is going to win because Biden shouldn't have been the candidate

stable genius
