The Orange Man and the State of his Union - Trump thread #139

[Spandauer]

Thanks to @JoshLymanSwagger for the thread title.

Trump, Vance and Musk are building a bigly bridge across the Bering Strait...
...and creating a gaping chasm in the Atlantic.

Kind hearts are more than coronets, and simple faith than Norman blood.

About 4mins 20secs in.

The 'judges can't overrule the president' is their complete strategy for all the shit they're doing. It's obvious that they believe there is some sort of 'hierarchy' between the 3 branches (executive, judicial, legislative) rather than the 'balance of powers' and 'co-equal branches of government' that are actually specified in the Constitution.

This is, of course, along with the Nixon philosophy of "If the President does it, it's not illegal".

A few days before the election, I started a thread on here that got a fair bit of traction…basically saying how concerned I was about Trump Mk 2. There were a few posters (I’d say in the minority tbf) telling me I was BU and how great he was blah blah blah
They’ve gone oddly quiet now, haven’t they? Hmmm 🤔

They're not those we need to be concerned about, when Chuck Schumer (alleged opposition) caves on government shutdown. I give up. There is no opposition. We're doomed, doomed, I tell you.

Every time I turn on the news the orange fucker is expected to give a speech and take questions, wish he would give it a break. Seems this time it’ll be on the rule of law and order so wonder what delights he’ll bestow this evening….

Musk, like all grifters and narcissists, is a consummate actor. He will portray glee or grief according to whichever of the two emotions serves his needs.

Musk was reportedly so traumatised at getting booed on Dave Chapelles show he needed a welfare check afterwards

So who knows how he's taking Mike Myers lampooning him on Saturday night live

SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.

The mad orange badger is wittering again...

He is great...

He's done a tremendous job at crashing the stock market.
He's stood up to that mean president who rudely did not wear a suit and did not say thankyou at least 10 times.
He is going to support Americans to get healthy again by putting ridiculous tariffs on wine and champagne imports from the EU, as well as stupid tariffs on loads of other things, which means that your average American will have walk more as they will have to trade in their cars for food.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of all the stupid, sorry I mean great things he has done.

But most of all he has shown the world what happens when you put a fuckwit in charge of one of the most powerful countries in the world..

Just a load of incoherent rambling as far as I can make out this evening…

Help! Please send eggs.

Love it!

Oh for an articulate President in the Oval Office again 😫

From what I can gather he’s angry at the Biden crime family for importing illegal immigrant child abusers to persecute the catholics 😵‍💫

Is there a point to this?

Particularly batshit tonight, what is he even saying? It’s just loads of words!

My take away from the 20 mins i could tolerate:
Eggs are cheap, anyone Biden didn't garden who was loosely connected to any perceived persecution (justice)of Trump needs to leave America ASAP.

Homeless people are shortly going to have no tents (where are they putting these people?), they aren't going to be investigating crime, they will have gangs roaming the streets to keep the peace, I'm expecting curfews and martial law.

I feel like watching him is verging on an act of self harm but it’s like a scab I can’t help but pick!

I think you’ve missed Bobby Knight was a great guy who played the ref. Democrats played the ref in Florida and it should be illegal.

He just lies, none of this is normal.

I think his medication has worn off...

Fascism

Just ring him up and tell him to withdraw his troops from Ukraine then Donny.

He’s just gone from WW3 to illegal immigration and rough tough people with tattoos on their faces. This is absolutely batshit.

This has taken a turn. US killers look nice by comparison.

With ads for a Trump kids book, miracle cream...
