Idiotam habemus - Trumpum the Bigly XXX - Trump thread #143

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?

Just caught a few snippets on the problems the Bigly Beautiful Bill is now facing in the Senate.

It is impossible not to experience a strong sense of deja vu, having lived through the Theresa May Big Brexit Bill infighting for over a year.

The clues really were all there.

Just leaving this here, because it made me laugh this morning, though true or not, it really isn’t funny at all.

The trouble is... we are at the point when the bottom of the barrel has been scraped, and we are beneath the barrel burrowing down.
I could almost believe anything of this administration. Sadly

On that basis, as disease research and vaccine development appear to not be in line with the administration’s aims, we’re one pandemic away from wiping out large swathes of the American population. Darwin Awards, anyone?

Biff Tannen GIF by Back to the Future Trilogy

The Chicken talk - he’s Biff Tannen isn’t he?! Someone joked that we should all be on the look out for a D’Lorean and a Sport’s Almanac, but honestly it’s looking more likely by the day!

He even looks like him!

Pretty sure there’s a new title for the next thread, right there 🤣🤣🤣

TACO Thursday
Every day Trump is a chicken

Good for UK Universities though
as Under grads and Post Grads and research teams will be coming to English speaking countries safe distances from the USA

CaveMum · 28/05/2025 22:03

I asked ChatGPT to come up with thread title options. Perhaps we should use it more often! Here’s what it came up with:

"Great Scott! We’re in the Biff Timeline – Trump 2024 and the Almanac of Doom"

Want a few variations? Here are some bonus options:

  1. "Back to the Future IV: The Rise of President Biff"
  2. "Trump = Biff? Alternate Timeline Confirmed!"
  3. "Make Hill Valley Great Again: The Trump/Biff Paradox"
  4. "From Casino to Chaos: Trump as Biff Tannen IRL"
  5. "The Sports Almanac Strikes Back – Trump’s Time-Traveling Ego Trip"

In fairness we don’t get to judge that here. It’s never been on ours for children and it’s being removed for pregnant women.

Interesting and welcome news about the wretched Tate Bros. They'll be seeking asylum in BiglyLand when Rumania kicks them out. Poor, persecuted free-speaking white men.

Aye, because that's what Free speech means.

In dictatorships like Russia, China and North Korea.

Things about to get interesting after court rules Trump has exceeded his authority on tariffs!

MigsandTiggs · 29/05/2025 07:21

On X, the comments under the Revoking Chinese student visas post.

Go after India next!
Iran next
My president, I love you.

On Bsky
This is really going to scupper science in the US for years to come.
I’m less concerned with the CCP and more concerned with the Nazis partying it up in the halls of American power.
Yet another sledgehammer to the kneecaps of academic research in the US.
🤔

It's TACO every day 🌮 so I'm waiting for Trump to do a flip flop on this too.

Well this’s isn’t good. It was expected but I think people were hoping they wouldn’t go through with it.

Luckily they aren’t also doing something as stupid as allowing a potential pandemic flu strain to run unchecked through mammals on farms giving it plenty of chance to find those couple of mutations it needs.

HHS cancels nearly $600 million Moderna contract on vaccines for flu pandemics

HHS has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract for vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics.

Will this be the case that a Florida man uses to direct the MAGA mob to storm the courts ? Judges being lynched ?
