Isaac Hayes did not write Chocolate Salty Balls.

Isn’t Hayes dead? His balls could be anywhere.

it is really amazing that there are so many people out there that would, on this night of all nights, gladly pay $50 to "unlock" a SECRET VIDEO"! that kind of grift is actually very impressive, best in class

Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Friday, 10 June 2022 03:23 (two years ago) link

It's like Cameo for useless shitbirds

Gymnopédie Pablo (Neanderthal), Friday, 10 June 2022 03:27 (two years ago) link

come on, admit it : you want to know what's on the $50 secret trump video

Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Friday, 10 June 2022 03:34 (two years ago) link

Pee tape?

no, the pee tape grift will be that we have to pay $50 to avoid seeing it

Trump now prepared to throw Ivanka under the bus.

Is this the DALLE MINI thread?

Yeah, I said the conspiracists are going to have a field day with the audio sync issues from that first Bill Barr clip, but ol' Vanky just looks fully cgi...

Someone should do one of those fake tweets where Trump goes after one of his grandkids: "Arabella is a well-known coward--I call her 'Yella Bella'--and they say that none of the other kids at day care will play with her."

clemenza, Saturday, 11 June 2022 00:13 (two years ago) link

this is not a very good thread, who gives a shit about these jokes and dunks

Dan S, Saturday, 11 June 2022 00:25 (two years ago) link

Is this what you do? Monitor the Donald Trump threads 24/7, and scold anyone who posts about Donald Trump on them? Jesus, man, this is more tiresome than anything you complain about.

clemenza, Saturday, 11 June 2022 00:29 (two years ago) link

"I don't care about these jokes and dunks--I'll just make sure I never miss one."

clemenza, Saturday, 11 June 2022 00:30 (two years ago) link

I'm not monitoring threads! just came upon this

but this is the day after the fairly consequential first televised congressional hearing about Jan 6th and Trump's treachery and nobody seems to care, at all

Dan S, Saturday, 11 June 2022 00:36 (two years ago) link

Just you Dan--you're the only one who cares, and you deserve a round of applause.

clemenza, Saturday, 11 June 2022 00:40 (two years ago) link

I'm sorry I offended you clemenza, I like you and repect you.

Dan S, Saturday, 11 June 2022 00:43 (two years ago) link

*respect

Dan S, Saturday, 11 June 2022 00:44 (two years ago) link

No need to apologize, I just don't get this obsession you have with trying to preempt any posting about Trump--or at least posting from me--that isn't sufficiently grave or angry or I don't what. I say some film reminds me about something about Trump and, no, can't do that; an innocuous joke, no, not that either. And again, if the mere mention of Trump is so mortally upsetting to you, the first course of action--as others besides me have suggested--is not to open up Trump-related threads.

clemenza, Saturday, 11 June 2022 00:50 (two years ago) link

it's my own issue and I won't open up a Trump thread again, but I think he is a monster and it’s hard for me to understand how any of you can find him funny or ironic or laughable in any way

Dan S, Saturday, 11 June 2022 01:19 (two years ago) link

(xpost) You'll never read this, because I know you're swearing off Trump threads forever, but--whether laughing at him (hopefully) or with him (ugh), that "any of you" accounts for what, 90% of anyone who knows who he is?

Donald Trump has become more popular since the January 6 Capitol attack

the inevitability of it all... sigh

StanM, Sunday, 12 June 2022 00:56 (two years ago) link

the election's not for two years, hell, an asteroid might hit by then.

Gymnopédie Pablo (Neanderthal), Sunday, 12 June 2022 00:58 (two years ago) link

can also guarantee when gas prices finally alleviate (even if a year from now) that will change

Gymnopédie Pablo (Neanderthal), Sunday, 12 June 2022 00:59 (two years ago) link

Even during his presidency the asshole’s popularity would get a temporary bump when he made fewer statements.

assert (matttkkkk), Sunday, 12 June 2022 06:35 (two years ago) link

will he be as popular as the committee hearings wear on is, I guess, the question

Tackiness is the least of their faults but it’s still accurate to describe them as “ludicrously tacky”

Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 21 June 2022 19:53 (one year ago) link

No Trump Steaks? Cheapskates.

Apparently he none too pleased with Kevin McCarthy right now, since there's nobody there to 'defend' him

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 21 June 2022 20:26 (one year ago) link

He may actually think this is a trial of some sort. Maybe we can bluff him into jail?

SCOOP: The House select committee investigating Jan. 6 sent a subpoena last week to ALEX HOLDER, a documentary filmmaker who was granted extensive access to President DONALD TRUMP and his inner circle, and who shot interviews with the then-president both before and after Jan. 6. The existence of this footage is previously unreported.

A source familiar with the project told Playbook on Monday night that Holder began filming on the campaign trail in September 2020 for a project on Trump’s reelection campaign. Over the course of several months, Holder had substantial access to Trump, Trump’s adult children and VP MIKE PENCE, both in the White House and on the campaign trail.

According to the subpoena, which was obtained exclusively by Playbook, the committee wants three main things from Holder:

(1) Raw footage from Jan. 6.

(2) Raw footage of interviews from September 2020 to present with Trump, Pence, DONALD TRUMP JR., IVANKA TRUMP, ERIC TRUMP and JARED KUSHNER.

(3) Raw footage “pertaining to discussions of election fraud or election integrity surrounding the November 2020 presidential election.”

Holder is expected to fully cooperate with the committee in an interview scheduled for Thursday. Read the full subpoena

TODAY’S JAN. 6 HEARING — At 1 p.m., the committee will gavel in for a hearing that centers on the pressure campaign Trump and his allies mounted to get state officials to overturn the 2020 election, including attempts to advance slates of “alternate electors” to flip the results in Trump’s favor.

As our Nicholas Wu and Kyle Cheney report this morning, that plan was concocted even before the election was actually called.

Really, I had no idea, before watching today's hearings, just how many state officials across the country, def including Black poll workers in Atlanta, but also white Reaganites etc., got the zoom lens and more from T. and his minions and local talent.
