Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

I'm less mystified as to how he's managed to tiptoe between the raindrops with respect to the many many many things that should have brought him financial/legal/personal ruin than I am by the fact that no one has ever pummeled him comatose. That, to me, is a sign that civil society is still functioning on some level, because if there was anyone who ever asked for it harder, practically begged for it with his ass fully out for decade upon decade, I don't know who it would be.

exactly. they think mocking handicapped people is funny. they think women fall over themselves to get the attention of rich men and then lie about it afterwards. they think anything that goes over their head is just the product of someone lying to them. they think the ultimate sign of intelligence and leadership is the ability to con people, because to them everything in life is a con. he is the perfect Republican candidate and I don't think anyone's gonna be able to replace him.

If the Maine shooter turns out to have authored a racist manifesto, he could peel away some Trump diehards

possible running mate

That would be a Trump Card!

In even speaking it unto existence ... Yup, we're definitely getting a Trump-Racist Mass Shooter Du Jour 2024 ticket

Most likely the Subway killer guy

Ivanka's lawyer pleading the dubious case that she's not involved with the Trump org anymore and her company is based in Delaware, not NYC. So the judge points out she's breaking the law there as well then, because she's operating from 5th avenue. lol, love this shit!

lmao

"I'm sorry your honor I cannot possible testify about THAT crime because I'm too busy criming elsewhere"

The literal Trump crime family

you move to Delaware you run up against the Biden crime family

pleasepleaseplease put jared in jail. please?

isn't he solving the problems in the Middle East for a couple billion dollars right now?

Trump expected on the stand Nov. 6 (I assume he cannot just get mad and leave). Someone posted: "Back-to-back-to-back-to-back testimony expected by three of Trump’s adult children, followed by the ex-president. A Trump on the stand for the first four court days in November."

Four Days in November.

I love it.

I love that we use the term “adult children” for them.

"Back-to-back-to-back-to-back testimony expected by three of Trump’s adult children, followed by the ex-president.

"Don't stand so close to me ... "

keep doing this shit Donny

Since Bill Barr is a witness against Trump in the J6 case, this new post violates his gag order in DC. pic.twitter.com/9q4MwM0fNP

Tbh, I'm surprised we don't see this from any of them more often, but it's still funny:

Trump gets the name of the city he’s in wrong, forcing someone on stage to apparently whisper in his ear where he actually is: “You’re in Sioux City, Mr. President” pic.twitter.com/c0dEQbAElg

“Cleveland! Good morning!”

O RLY

“ With droopy eyelids and mouth agape, Mr. Trump stammers and mumbles. He squints. His arms flap. He shuffles his feet and wanders laggardly across the stage. A burst of laughter and applause erupts from the crowd as he feigns confusion by turning and pointing to invisible supporters, as if he does not realize his back is to them.

But his recent campaign events have also featured less deliberate stumbles. Mr. Trump has had a string of unforced gaffes, garble and general disjointedness that go beyond his usual discursive nature, and that his Republican rivals are pointing to as signs of his declining performance.”

lol discursive is a polite way to describe it I guess

'increasingly incoherent' is the new 'increasingly isolated'

he's a month away from the neck brace and wheelchair in court. "I'm sorry, your honor, my client is too incapacitated to participate any further."

His usual repulsive nature

That's about the only time the NYT has run the Trump version of the is-Joe-Biden-too-old? piece.

it sort of passed me by that "the adult children of Trump" isn't some media commentary joke, it's actually how the court describes them in discovery documents.. lol

"Trump's next of kin" sounds better imho

spawn maybe?

I think that's meant in the "reading of the will" sense

They mean Trump’s adult children because he still has one who is not an adult yet.

^^ suzy coming in with the facts.

p.s. I initially read that as "still has one who is not an adult pet"

as someone who has done minor groundworks and actually mixed and poured concrete as part of my previous job - albeit quite badly as I'm not a builder. I'm just sniggering to myself at this dense adult child brat of his, testifying in court under oath that "I just pour concrete". It's funny because I'm struggling to imagine him pouring a glass of water without fucking it up.

like trying to get out of jury duty lol

“Ms Trump, who resides in Florida with her three minor children, will suffer undue hardship if a stay is denied and she is required to testify at trial in New York in the middle of a school week, in a case she has already been dismissed from, before her appeal is heard,” her lawyers said in a legal filing on Thursday.

But in an expedited ruling on Thursday night, the appeals court offered a curt, 11-word response.

“Application for interim stay pending decision on the motion is denied,” the judges wrote.

beautifully concise response
