No more Musk, Melania MIA and TACOs for tea: The Idiocracy beds down - Trump thread #144

[Spandauer]

Second '100 days' working out much like the first, but with a Vance-proof Pope, a bigly white elephant plane, a few more legal push backs and way more grifting.

@Spandauer What time (GMT) do I need to do a rain thunder dance?

Things happening all day I believe. But the parade kicks off at 6.30pm ET followed by a concert and fireworks.

@JoshLymanSwagger I think the downpour needs to start just as Drumpf and his Missus swan in to take their seats. So if we all dance and submit our offerings to the gods at about 10pm GMT that should give the clouds time to line up in the appropriate place...

(Although I do feel some sympathy for the service men and women that are taking part.)

I keep reading things that make no sense whatsoever

@Spandauer I'll do my best.

Not sure I'm as good as Will Bailey (S4Ep7)

@DuncinToffee DH has an affliction - he's...
<checks over shoulders>
<whispers> a Chelsea Fan
Shhh...

He wouldn't go there if you paid him, or gave him a gold Airbus A380 (bigger than a 747😉)

I am so sorry Josh 😬😅

Why thank you, Dunc.😁
S'ok. We won the league 🏆 and you have a spiffing new stadium.
DH has a disgruntled team and a former owner who is a mate of Putin. 🤷‍♀️

That's as far as my sympathy goes 💙

Oh well. Ta anyway.🍻

Cheers

We have a pre-season US tournament, with Bournemouth, West Ham and Man U, I wonder how that will be affected.

Just seen that they're staging a coup. Kristi Noem said the marines are in California to liberate it from it's (duly elected) socialist leadership.

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

@DuncinToffee pre-season isn't what it used to be.

Loving the 🌻🌼🌷 you can't really mistake the sentiment in that.

Christ, you could have put a trigger warning !

That's quite the statement. Say it with aggressive flowers.

😀

Thunderstorms predicted for the Big Birthday Parade? I mean nothing says “Wrath of God” like a few thunderbolts from on high, eh?

I have a sneaking suspicion the new Pope had a chat with the Big Boss who said "wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more"...

The new pope is holding a mass at rate field at the same time as the big beautiful parade.

If any of you are in the US and plan to attend any of the protests planned for tomorrow, I hope you'll consider consider carrying an American flag. It would be a tragedy to relinquish the flag's symbolic power to people whose behavior belies the principles of liberty and justice for all.

See, I practiced before bed (around 3hrs ago).

"Now", like Will, with my arms in the air.

Yeah, it worked. Just 3hrs too late. 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️

"That which was old is new again"

I am loving the flower power of the protesters. Being an old 'un here it just takes me back.

I am wishing a very bad dose of the squits on Trumper, here's hoping
