No grey smoke necessary.

First 100 days have come and gone. Vance has killed the Pope, Musk is melting away and Trump's tariffs are on a slow boat to China.

Coming soon... Bigly's Birthday Parade. What could possibly go wrong?

Looking forward even more to seeing The Boss in Liverpool …
Would have been the bigliest disappointment ever, if he’d turned out to be a Trump fan after decades of loving his music.

You are in for a treat - I was there last night. He was absolutely magnificent (although I seemed to have something in my eye during his speeches and couldn’t see properly).

Springsteen is a Good Person. I'd say he is a Great Person but Bigly has besmirched the word forever.

I'm not so bigly on the smiting.

A good old thunderbolt to the 🍊 testicles would work for me, followed by a spot of spontaneous subhuman combustion 🔥 just leaving his shoes smouldering at JFKs memorial.

Defensive Trump Goes Off at Reporter on Air Force One After Putin Snubs Peace Talks.

As for the smiting and/or spontaneous combustion... I'll take a good old (Elvis style) fatal heart attack on the golden toilet. (Sorry, not sorry)

A defensive Trump snapped at a reporter on Air Force One and insisted he was not “disappointed” at Vladimir Putin snubbing peace talks in Turkey, declaring that “nothing is going to happen” until the two tough guy leaders get together.

He is also going on about groceries again

Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

AcrossthePond55 · 15/05/2025 19:39

OMG he is such a buffoon!!! If he just wasn't so fucking dangerous.

Seeing him 'in action' (which I avoid as much as possible) is like watching someone shit on the ground. You aren't the person doing it, you can't stop the person doing it, but still you're embarrassed that they're doing it anyway.

MrTiddlesTheCat · 15/05/2025 20:08

He's a genius. I've just seen that he's invented a new word. 'Equalise' how did he manage to invent such an amazing word.

Cockwomble. That word was invented specifically for him weeks, nay months, if not years, ago.

Tbf to him, there’s a good chance groceries, rather than the price of them are down (or soon will be) due to the tariff idiocy.

Which utter Buffon gave Aseem Malhotra a job? This is going to make arguing with anti vaxxers extremely tedious as he’s now a top cardiologist working for the US government.
GMC should have done their job and struck him off like Wakefield.

How about a bit of Shakespeare?

“A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of no one good quality.”

“The rankest compound of villainous smell that ever offended nostril.”

“Thine face is not worth sunburning.”

a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing

“A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a
base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited,
hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a
lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson,
glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue;
one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a
bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but
the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar,
and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I
will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest
the least syllable of thy addition.”

More succinctly:
“Thou whoreson zed, thou unnecessary letter!"

Meanwhile in America, and Musk’s AI Grok is bringing up fictitious examples of white genocide 🙄

My understanding is even if he’s pardoned for federal crimes he’ll remain incarcerated for his state level crimes.

cakeorwine · 15/05/2025 22:02

Did Trump use the word "genocide?"

Listening to Radio 4 yesterday PM programme - and if a Government uses the word "genocide" to describe a situation, then they are supposed to do something about it to stop genocide happening.

Evenstar · 15/05/2025 22:02

Yes I saw that, but like the January 6 insurrectionists he shouldn’t be pardoned for anything.

MigsandTiggs · 15/05/2025 22:28

@Evenstar Thank you for the link. As a committed Christian, I want the smiting to extend to all Trump's administration who act as if they are above the law. (Actually, under Trump, they are!).

Trump signed an executive order that essentially halted the refugee program and stopped payments to organizations that assist with refugee resettlement — including, according to one group, payments for work already performed.

OK, this is a standard Trump's business practice - not paying for work done, but government departments "delaying compliance" with a court order is extra low behaviour. How do the individual employees sleep at night???

Faith-based aid agencies challenge Trump’s order 'realigning' refugee program

WASHINGTON (RNS) — An executive order signed by President Donald Trump appears to keep all but a few refugees from entering the country, saying that the United States lacks the resources to absorb them.

Think another branch of the Episcopal Church have kicked Calvin Robinson out this week too. He can’t have that many left to be kicked out of.
