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?

I can’t believe he’s criticising someone’s appearance- especially skin! 😳

I’d rather my skin was atrophied than my brain if I’m honest.

Oh, Americans, what are you allowing to happen to your country? The deluded orange fool is a laughing stock, the Saudis must be in hysterics. Meanwhile, Bigly is claiming Comey, ex FBI, has posted a secret coded message on a beach, marked out in seashells, that means Comey wants Bigly to be assassinated. Bigly should certainly spend some time lying down quietly in a darkened room. One with the nice comfy padded walls.

"We'll see how it goes for him"? Is that a threat?

I'm sure The Boss is trembling in fear.

Say what, now?

If all it took was a message in seashells, we'd all be rushing to the beach with shovels & pails.

Newsflash on my laptop; SCOTUS just blocked Trump from reinstitution deportations using the Alien Act.

Yup, afraid so. See Guardian and other papers, can't link from phone. He is effing barking mad. So sorry you've got him and his sleazeball cultists to deal with.

There is a parallel case about the legality of a nationwide ban on the EO over the 14th. In the discussion linked upthread there were some very interesting issues flagged up. The TL;DR is SCOTUS were asking whether the national Federal ban (imposed by a Federal court) was appropriate, if there were other ways to achieve the same end. And they rather skewered the Trump lawyer who was unable to suggest any. Also, the harm being done was so egregious that only a ban serves to avert it.

The interesting - and not really highlighted - possibility that a baby could be born in the US, and not only not be allowed to be a US citizen, but also not allowed to be a citizen of the country of either of it's parents (because they are refugees) was raised. With the possibility that without a nationwide ban, one state court might implement a ban, but another wouldn't, leading to further confusion over what state a baby was born in.

Note: that case is not about the 14th amendment, Just the nationwide ban until SCOTUS acts (which one of the supremes admitted could be "whenever").

My late DM was a massive Broooce fan. His was some of the music we played to her as she was lost to dementia. Never my cup of tea, but as you say, "Go the Boss !😀". At least someone is looking down.

Seems that Trumps immunity ruling could mean he can't prosecute judges.

Of course the government is free to ask SCOTUS to refine what they meant. I wonder if they will ?

That gives me so much hope today,@SerendipityJane. And made me laugh.

Pedallleur · 17/05/2025 16:10

Didn't know Melania was Slovenian. He likes the foreign ladies. Ivana was Czech. Perhaps Bigly likes those sites where foreign ladies are looking for men.
Taylor isn't hot? Is that as in popular or attractive? Bit creepy if the latter but those recent pics in the Huffington Post were not good viewing.

Vance is attending the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV tomorrow (although, briefly, the BBC said he was attending the inaugeration 🤨).
Brave guy, Pope Leo.

Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse 😀

Did he forget to make the payment to stop it getting raided?
Then again I guess no-one gets a look in now unless they can afford a bribe more valuable than the plane?
I wonder what he has in store for Bruce?
Springsteen is IN SHAPE, he makes donny look like a bag of runny jello. Trump find's his relative lack of kudos so uncomfortable that he knee jerks out with all that gobshite, making himself even more ridiculous (if that's within the laws of physics)

So a mass casualty event has been declared due to the tornadoes in some states and a ship has hit the Brooklyn Bridge yet the President is ranting about the Supreme Court and posting videos of planes 😑
