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.

red means 'run, son. numbers add up to nothin'

shelter me from the putin and the banker
i bankrupted casinos. who the fuck does that?

wasting his finite reserves of energy there

Like a hastily-assembled meat collage.

hard to tell who is more obsessed with him the right or the left.

also the media love/hate thing is so cute. get a room you two.

“I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.”

He is only as wicked and hellspawned as the hatred and resentment simmering in the heartland of the most violent nation ever

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?

the 1997 NYer profile of Trump is start-to-finish amazing but if I had to pick a favorite part it's this https://t.co/reqFZ79eZd pic.twitter.com/Qnwnuiyxqh

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

tbc, this is not my standard response to clear malice and malfeasance. and it has a cost to me, as well. i feel unwell.

he is “that bad.” do i retell my “coming out of a coma in 8/2015” story? it’s actually not very amazing, but i feel validated now, every. step. of the way. to here. i didnt even remember my own street address quite. but i had grown up in NYC metro in the 70s and 80s. and i knew who he was, and i got right away he was very possibly to become president, at least once.

so i want him tried and imprisoned. he cannot be humiliated, i fear. for his type, anything is just a setback.

immediate denial and physical pain due to illness it is. for me.

look I wish I didn't have to cheer on anyone's death but that is the system we have created here. Trump has never been accountable to the law and has spent the last decade reaping the benefits of a political and media ecosystem that caters exactly to scumbags like him. being a pedophile and a rapist and a fraudster and a complete fucking dipshit, not to mention arguably the least honest person in American history, has not and can not bring him down. so death it'll have to be.

believe me i get it. precepts must control, but fuck i get it. plur! lol

Death and taxes, and if he's infamously opted out of taxes, what have we got left?

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/13/boosie-badazz-sues-over-trump-pardon-deal/

Boosie Badazz says he paid big money for a presidential pardon ... but now he's claiming all he got was a massive bill and an empty promise ... and he wants a big refund.

According to a bombshell NOTUS report, the rapper is taking legal action against political operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman after allegedly shelling out $600,000 to help secure a pardon from President Trump -- one Boosie says never came.

The report says Boosie -- whose legal name is Torence Hatch -- struck a deal with the pair last fall after they pitched themselves as having major pull inside Trump's orbit. Boosie claims they were so confident, they acted like they had POTUS "on speed dial."

Things allegedly escalated on New Year's Day ... when Boosie's lawyer got a call claiming Trump had already signed the pardon and the White House just hadn't announced it yet. But according to the report, the pardon never surfaced ... and Boosie is now trying to recover $300,000 under a clause in the contract requiring half the fee be refunded if no pardon was delivered.

This is like suing the hitman you hired

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman!

I'm trying to imagine using these clowns to get a pardon instead of just hiring some shitbag Jones Day attorney who used to work in the first Trump Admin.

Boosie is merely interested in being an active, aggressive transphobe these days so fuck him IMO (speaking as a former fan)

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman!

not their first adventure in the pardon business, either

During the second presidency of Donald Trump, Wohl worked as a partner at Burkman's J.M. Burkman & Associates lobbying firm, where the two took on clients pursuing presidential pardons. Among their clients was Joseph Schwartz, a nursing home operator convicted of tax evasion in April 2025. Schwartz paid Wohl and Burkman $960,000, although a White House official said that no one at the White House had spoken with either Wohl or Burkman about Schwartz's case. Schwartz terminated their services, and later secured a pardon after enlisting another lobbying firm.[58]

Wohl and Burkman also lobbied for a pardon on behalf of rapper Torrence Ivy Hatch Jr., who performs as Boosie Badazz, who pleaded guilty to firearms possession. Hatch failed to attain a pardon, and sought a refund of $300,000, half of what he paid Wohl and Burkman. As of July 2026, Wohl and Burkman have refused to refund Hatch.[58][59] In February 2026, Wohl and Burkman disclosed they were lobbying for the Department of Justice to drop charges against Andean Medjedovic or, alternatively, for the President to pardon him. Medjedovic is a Canadian fugitive wanted in both the United States and Canada for allegedly stealing money from two cryptocurrency platforms.[60]

seems like it should be against some law, but what can you do? accountability was torched in 2016

Any official source or just some guy on X?

I've heard elsewhere that the tire treads are visible in the empty pool

don't tread on me
or i'll blame my unforced self-own on absolutely everyone else, even if it involved cooking up criminal charges against olympic athletes and adding "threw a public temper tantrum for several months over a giant pool that i fucked up" to my list of primary achievements

those... don't look like tire tracks; it looks like detritus that gathers in surface irregularities whenever you drain a pool

apologies for sharing w/o doublechecking - saw on Jamelle Bouie's bsky feed and assumed validity, but definitely risking making an ass of me.

Boosie is a real bigot, anti-gay and transphobic asshole so him and Trump should be buddies

it’s too bad, “Fuck the Police” was such a nice anthem to have at protests for a while

Again I was just there. The lines do not look like tire tracks. They look like joins between sections (as you might expect, and iirc there have always been visible seams.

Either way, they presumably do not look like long giant gashes somebody somehow did with a box cutter or whatever.

It’s obviously the handiwork of Diamond Joe and one of his souped up Harleys

Whats most arse-stupid is if someone had been able to slash the lining (wasn't it painted on? How's that work exactly), to do that much of it would be people, visibly wading around in the pool, and they expect us to think nobody noticed this?

There was unfortunately no money left over in the budget, after paying friends, to install a ring camera

the tech is there.

we know the tech is there.
but it is too expensive to buy a camera that is pointed at the giant reflecting pool

you would think that, given the reflections in the ideal pool, it would be less expensive to keep a camera on it to document antifa, due to all the extra angles created by the reflections. but in fact, it just makes it so much more expensive that even operating one camera pointed at the giant reflecting pool would be too complicated and ultimately would hurt the cause of keeping a close eye on antifa attacks. :(

".. keep offa my blue suede pool... "

Maybe Antifa used AI to fuck up the pool.

Ahh, the one dollar coin - one of America's most beloved and successful denominations

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Mint has begun producing a new $1 coin bearing President Donald Trump’s face to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday, the Treasury Department said Wednesday.

The final design for the commemorative coin, being released in the fall, was approved earlier this year by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by Trump. But the finished product unveiled Wednesday differs from that version in a few aspects, including that it is not made of gold but rather has a gold finish.

even for him this is demented

https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mqpisa5jdl23

The Trump coin should have his face on one side and a butthole on the other.

Insert "Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures / they're the same picture" meme here

It's a coin toss, really.

Buttcoin

he seems to have a bucket list of dictator-ish dreams before he goes... giant banners on buildings, his face on a coin; he should start carrying a riding crop and wearing a monocle, embrace the cosplay

Maybe a Dem president could send Trump to The Hague to face a war crimes trial

i thought we were going to dismantle the ICC “brick by brick”? Not sure if that is before or after we dismantle the left “brick by brick”.

I mean you don't gotta take a brick at a time that's just inefficient

Yeah get a wheelbarrow and put several bricks in it at a time.

All in all we’re just another brick in the wall

Onion beat the big guy to it

A good argument that is obvious to all of us, probably, but still worth the read:

https://timkreider.substack.com/p/the-arbogast-fallacy

You'd think that after a decade of this insufferable crybaby lying sack of shit criminal even his base would abandon him. Trump's psychology is as plain as day. The media needs to stop analyzing Trump, but unwrap the basic motives of his base and give them a thorough public airing, because for as long as they live we'll be grappling with their voting habits.

His base has been doing a pretty good job of their own public airing. They're racist and hate queer people, they don't believe in science, they think America should be run by and for Christians only, and they think it's funny when poor people die. If you'd like to know more I direct you to your nearest comment section.

Oops forgot to mention the most important thing, which is that they hate women.

The problem is his base are also lying sack of shit criminals.

another important thing about this base is that somehow, when combined with people who vote but don't know what's going on, they make up 49.999999999% of each national vote, leaving a margin of only one undecided voter, steve bone, in every election.

I direct you to your nearest comment section.

When you put those comments in the context of more mainstream news/analysis/reporting they look different, meaning uglier and much worse, because the audience is different. Comment sections are their own bubble. When you extract them, package, and distribute them differently it matters.

I don't understand your point, Aimless.

Nearly every comment section is either a cesspool or an analingus party or often both, no matter whether we're talking the Times or some Instagram post from a niche publication or celebrity.

That's a third party everyone can get behind
