Ten-year-old nabisco offTM:

Here's something funny: when I was ten years old I had a vague admiration for Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca (both very feted at the time) and a downright intense love of Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties, who I didn't understand to be something of a joke. As such, despite having really liked Mondale -- having a woman as a running mate impressed me, probably because of the mother/father dynamic of it -- I was convinced that I wanted to be a Republican and a businessman or lawyer of some sort. In fact, I started a "company" with my friends Brian and Jeff -- we made board games, and hired Tony, the best breakdancer I have ever known, to do the art -- and I was constantly attempting to read the law and economics books in my father's library. Everyone seemed to think this was "cute," though I sort of wish someone had just explained politics to me. In either case, I got over it quickly and went back to wanting to be a writer.

i suppose 'classic' in that he's all a lot of people can think about or talk about and his brain dmamage is so powerful it's infected the world

p bad president and person tho

takes balls to rock that combover day in and out

I can see the blood from the man-flesh on his teeth!

What you lookin' at?
You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be?
You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say,
"That's the bad guy.
" So... what that make you? Good? You're not good.
You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
So say good night to the bad guy!
Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you.
Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

You certainly don't, pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them; you can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit. You ARE shit! Hit the bricks, pal, and beat it 'cause you are going OUT!

Search: "move on her like a bitch"

Destroy: everything else

"Trump never said he had tapes, he just inferred that he did. And it is not intimidating a witness since Comey is telling the truth and knew that any tapes would prove his version of events."

everyone is classic but not everyone should be president

President Don once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme for a savior machine

Trump lingered last in line for brains
And the one he got was sorta rotten and insane
Small hands (so sad!), a rust-hued clown
Is Trump fast asleep or rockin' out with Three Doors Down?

Murricuns electing Donald Trump: Classic or dud?

haven't thought about this guy for a while. i think he was popular in the 80s?

Overrated

I think he'd make really great hog slurry. You can really tell a lot about a man by the way his pureed corpus fills a trough.

libs/"centrists" for sure

it's sobering to realize that Trump is probably the most famous person in human history now

*not adjusted for population inflation

indicative of a deep flaw in our universe

truly he is king of the narcissist personality disorder sufferers

i think jesus still beats him out unless we're only counting contemporaneous fame

Michael Jackson sold a hundred million records

contemporaneous fame. MJ is up there but there are twice as many people on Earth now than there were in 1984.

Donlad Turmp sold a hundred million and one. Sad!

Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

I think you might need to look into a thing called history if you think this is the most violent nation ever.

idk Native American genocide plus slavery plus nuclear bomb-dropping... surely we're in the running

probably a million people killed by u.s. in vietnam/laos/cambodia. nobody will ever know how many. not pol pot numbers, but still...

mao would be the world champ though.

it's sobering to realize that Trump is probably the most famous person in human history now

this is a ridiculous statement

Man, if only Trump would tweet that he's bigger than Jesus...

well he's certainly fatter

I think Barron drew that

Judge is really giving somebody the business in that sketch!

alina habba: "another Trump child was dragged into court today..." - not even appending ‘adult’ to one of the Trump children suggests to me some kind of fucked up psychological dynamic

think of the children!

I don’t want to think of these children anymore (I never wanted to)

Is she calling a special advisor to the White House (or whatever Ivanka’s ridic title was) a child?

Today in Trump NYC trial:

Per Adam Klasfeld's reports on Twitter, Judge Engoron is basically overruling every AG objection to whatever evidence Trump wants to admit, which has to be very heartwarming for the AG and terrifying for Trump's lawyers

When the judge is being very, very nice to you, they are either in the tank for your side, or you are absolutely fucked and the judge wants to make sure you have no space for appeal. Guess which is more likely here.

Meantime...

As part of a plea deal, one of former President Donald Trump's attorneys has told prosecutors in Georgia that she was informed in the wake of the 2020 election that Donald Trump was "not going to leave" the White House -- despite the fact that he had already lost the election and most of his subsequent challenges.

The revelation, along with others, came during a confidential interview the attorney, Jenna Ellis, had with Fulton County investigators. ABC News has obtained portions of videos of the proffer sessions of both Ellis and Sidney Powell, two attorneys who aided Trump's efforts to overturn the election.

can't he just die already? DIE DIE DIE DUD

All sounds promising but (presses snooze button) wake me when this guy faces actual muthaflippin consequences.

Honestly? Hearing about how _close_ Trump is to legal jeopardy is approximately as interesting as the year-plus when Sidney Powell was going to release the Kraken.

Owning the Libs, or Actually Just Saying Things We Know Would Absolutely Own the Libs If Any Were On This Platform, For Only $110k Per Day.

I was in an eaterie a few months ago (in Wall Drug in fact), and the two TVs on the wall were respectively tuned to Fox News and Truth Social. Both seemed to be talking about Hunter Biden's laptop a lot, in fact endlessly. Possibly the target market for this new addition to the media landscape don't, in fact, give a flying one about 'the laptop', but that seems to be what they get.

i don't think the times is biased toward trump in any way, or that they ever minimized his danger. people who get their news from the times are aware of how horrific he is. the issue is that the people who support him do not get their news from the new york times. they live in a completely different media ecosystem and are exposed to a completely different set of facts. the new york times going harder on him would not effect anything at all -- he would still have his supporters. xp

the "normalization" discourse was always dumb. it was clear to anyone who wanted to see who he was, and this was always reported in the mainstream press as far as i can see. perhaps sometimes they were softer on him that i would have been, or something, but the point is this is not why he has the base he does. his supporters watch things like newsmax.

I’m maybe in the minority here, but as a subscriber, I say the NYT goes pretty hard against Trump

i think they did in 2016 too. the reason hillary's "depolorables" remark stuck and this much worse "vermin" one won't is because the latter is drowned out by a million other horrific things he says or does. it's nothing to do with unbalanced coverage the way that tweet up there implied.

Yeah, he floods the zone with newsworthy shittiness.

the NYT is shitty for a number of reasons but going easy on Trump is not one of them. I hate to 'both sides' this but the left and right do the same media grievance shit when the reality is what treesh said, if everything Trump did was covered the way emails and "deplorables" was there would have to be like 15x more news

The NYT, yes, opposes Trump, but like many liberals and lib types it has no idea how to deal with a pathogen that doesn't acknowledge the paper's hegemony and mores, thus they way too often minimize the threat.

And yet ... she kept banging the drum for them.

I’m not sure they are in a position to do anything different from what they have been doing. His base does not recognize them as legitimate. And there are no people left who consume both the new york times and fox news and try to decide which one they agree with. Completely separate audiences.

Xp lol, these “flippers” hope they will be rehabilitated like michael cohen sort of was. Alas they will not.

People at least pity cohen. He has a wounded basset hound quality.

🚨🚨 LISTEN >> Donald Trump BRAGS that “nobody has ever done more” to ban abortion across the country by “[putting] 3 Supreme Court justices who all voted” to overturn Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/Ek45N2WF51

They are just reporting on public perception. They are not saying he should be seen as a moderate on abortion, just that he is for some incomprehensible reason.

In fact, that article cites examples of Trump taking full credit for banning abortion

Cohen was a Trump henchman/legal thug/fixer though wasn't he? and he even said he'd take a bullet for him at the time. I feel quite sure he is a despicable person who has done lots of bad stuff to people on behalf of Trump, that he still hasn't properly atoned for. Great accent though!

He would have taken a bullet for trump and did, going to jail because he did something trump told him to do. And then when he was in jail Trump insulted him nonstop.

There is pathos there. He obviously is a bad guy.

Michael Cohen did go to jail for a year, that's more than most of these morons have been punished. Steve Bannon is still walking free like he's King Turd.

"like"

Before he flipped I saw Michael Cohen standing around outside when I was coming back from lunch. I think he was at an event for his daughter. I almost said something nasty to him but he looked so sad and lost.

good

donald trump is a new farm animal and the sound he makes is STAWNK!!

what's it gonna taaaaaaaaake

everybody knows how to dance, even with just one more-STAAAAAWNK! *airhorn*

i jest at all this even though it's kind of terrifying to think about the number of people who like this, who want this man back on their screens again with even more frequency, so that politics can be more like tv again

Who could've guessed that he'd repeatedly violate his gag order?

in the Ruby Freeman/Shaye Moss defamation case, Giuliani's lawyer has filed a motion for a bench trial next month rather than face a jury to decide how much of whatever is left of his personal fortune he is going to lose. Lol, he is so fucked .. the arc of the moral universe is long ... etc

I can't tell whether that screed is more unhinged than the time he gave thanks for himself, or less.
