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.

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

you suggest Panama?

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.

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.

this is a ridiculous statement

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

well he's certainly fatter

"45office.com" is unbelievably funny.

it does sound like he's selling printer paper and staples

Is he going to build his own Oval Office replica?

"45office.com" is unbelievably funny.

Agreed. Guy has spent his entire life building up the "Trump" brand, and this is what he picks for his blog's domain?

Gonna assume that squatters already bought up all the domains he would've preferred. And god bless every one of them.

Visitors to the former president's website can also request a personalized greeting from the president and the First Lady, or request that the Trumps attend an event. Due to the high number of requests, the greetings page says it will take up to six weeks for processing.

As for having the Trumps attend an event, the website said it there would be no status updates "due to the volume of requests President and Mrs. Trump receive. Requests must note if media will be present and if there will be any notable attendees."

Cameo For Cucks. You Love To See It.

i'm surprised there is no section for tweetlike missives from trump

like a "newsreel"

I’m imagining 45Office is just a shitty(er) version of Microsoft’s Office365.

Like you get a red squiggle under every line of text that's coherent or grammatically-correct or free of deeply racist subtext.

lol 45office.com has to just be a wordpress template

Yes?

State prosecutors in Manhattan investigating former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization have subpoenaed the personal bank records of the company’s chief financial officer and are questioning gifts he and his family received from Mr. Trump, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Where/in what form was that, uh, published?

yeah, i don't even know. it was a "written statement". he made issued some other blowhard statement the other day via the Save America PAC, so maybe them again

echoes of his famous "even the haters and losers" tweet, but he's clearly not in top form anymore.

He’s hiding his Diet Coke bottle behind the phone a day after telling everyone to boycott Coca-Cola! https://t.co/K2is5hpl7o pic.twitter.com/idDtVtkBeM

OMG that plane's headed straight for Mount Rushmore

hehe. also: glasses. plus, is that newspaper hiding something?

The newspaper is hiding 3 McRibs.

Looks like right before the picture was taken Asshole told other Asshole "ok, take a step back. No, one more step. OK, just one more ..." And then at the last minute Miller creeped one step closer again, to stay in the frame.

I was just wondering:

Does Donald Trump, as of April 2021, have any political agenda, other than to protect and perhaps enrich himself?

He was considered, from say 2016-2021, as the leader of a populist far-right / proto-fascist turn in world politics. He enacted, I think, bad and dangerous policies. You would normally expect such a figure to be continually pushing a policy agenda by whatever means.

But is Trump? Or is he merely shoring himself up (what happened to all the claims about prosecutions he would face after leaving office?), or merely trying to make maximum cash -- with no real political agenda beyond that?

His only agenda is promoting himself, preferably enriching himself also in the process. That should be abundantly clear by now.

I
Don’t
Care

Aimless: wouldn't that, then, be good news? As it would mean that he doesn't have any particular interest in promoting far right policies?

(what happened to all the claims about prosecutions he would face after leaving office?)

yeah i‘ve been wondering about that myself

he's promoting the far right policies still to stoke up his followers to stave off repercussions from his presidency, to grift them and also because he's a racist and a fucking terrible human being

_ (what happened to all the claims about prosecutions he would face after leaving office?)_

yeah i‘ve been wondering about that myself

This in and of itself would be enough for headaches but there’s whatever the Fulton County DA in Georgia is considering, while the wider DOJ look into January 6 is a story of increasing focus on various superseding indictments on particular participants. And for all we know there’s other stuff being looked at quietly.

They're all going to pull a Mueller and indict a bunch of b-listers and goons but not the big guy.

It seems like Trump has the GOP tied up in knots right now. This feels like a good thing. They are in the “can’t live with him, can’t live without him” stage. Of course, this could all change at a moment’s notice. Or... he could be the wrench in McConnell’s works for the next several years. I, for one, hope the GOP finally is getting to the point where they regret, and really start paying for, having hitched their wagons to his cult of personality.

There will be no regrets as long as the tax cuts and court packing are in effect.

I hope all the members of the GOP die fiery deaths.

There will be no regrets as long as the tax cuts and court packing are in effect.

Welp, there went my breakfast

that's just your old breakfast now

look deeply into his eyes and remember your breakfast

I know King Turd has his diehard fans, but seriously, is there really a significant group of even the GOP that wishes this guy were louder and more visible? It feels like such a relief to only have to deal with his shit by choice. Wanting things back the way things were just a few months ago would be like getting over a bad case of food poisoning but wishing you still had diarrhea.

Trump only has ever cared about himself. He wants the attention, he wants it to all be about him. When he was president, he of course helped the GOP reach some of their goals, but only in so far as it benefitted him to do so. But now what can he do for the GOP? Only make noise, distract, get involved where he’s not wanted, and actively backstab GOP leadership as they attempt to move on. But he’s losing his grip on at least a portion of his base, which means he’s losing his power over GOP leadership. He’s back to being all talk now, and frustrated over not being able to use his preferred channels and reach the same scale of audience. I can only see him continuing to lash out and attack any and all targets even if it won’t benefit himself beyond just saving a little face over being unwanted, a loser and a pariah.

Aimless: wouldn't that, then, be good news?

I take it as better than most of the alternatives. The critical thing so far has been the removal of his Twitter account. He has no method of amplifying his momentary thoughts and he's too lazy to find and learn a more difficult tool. How he rose to the presidency in face of his universal incompetence is an insoluble mystery.

I'm waiting for him to do an arena tour. I liked the recent David Roth tweet, too, where he predicted that a commercial starring Trump seems inevitable, and inevitably (even if very much in character) super tacky.

his being banned from twitter a few months ago instead of a decade ago does help explain at least some of his success

The internet's greatest researcher, Ashley Feinberg, has mapped out what the former guy's days look like when CPAC isn't on:
