Grotesque, greedy, gullible, graceless, gaslighting, gormless, god-forsaken grifter - Trump thread #147

[Spandauer]

Desperately seeking that Peace Prize.
May have to settle for the Hero of the Russian Federation award. Bigly sad.

Edit still there for me!

I think I her younger days Melania did look quite boyish.

OK... just going to test with this post...

Nothing shows up @BustingBaoBun

That’s surely going to cost him his job?

Mandy is Teflon™️ though. Plus there will be no compromising stuff around him and young women/girls.

That’s true, he’s like Teflon Trump. But I didn’t realise there were also young men available on Epstein’s island. It’s all very odd.

Federal Appeals court tells Trump to jog in in E Jean Carroll case.

I imagine he'll try and get this to SCOTUS. Who have a chance to review their decision on presidential immunity.

But he wasn’t president when he assaulted her?

Remember back when I said the mid-terms wouldn't happen? Simon Marks just said on the James O'Brien show that Trump "doesn't know yet" if he needs to scupper them.

Wow. Just wow.

One thing that reassured me about the Midterms recently was an interview I heard where someone explained that as they are not Federal elections (like the Presidential) then Trump has no power to stop them happening. They are run by the individual States, so while yes he can try to rig them (via gerrymandering) or sway things his way, he has absolutely no power to stop them taking place.

I'm sure it won't stop him from trying of course, but even SCOTUS would not be on his side for this one.

States and Elections Clause | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress

Worryingly, that wasn't the criteria the court rejected the claim on.

They say he should have raised it earlier.

I can see SCOTUS going all in here, and simply saying the President is not subject to any laws.

Midterms are irrelevant now Congress has been abolished.

We are talking de facto, not de jure

I see more details this morning are emerging of a transaction where Epstein ‘sold’ a “fully depreciated” woman to Trump for $22,500… I don’t know what that means but it certainly doesn’t sound innocent.

Where's the 'Oh my F'ing God' emoji @MNHQ

And just like that Trump green lights Israeli strikes on Doha and Epstein is no longer the lead story. 🙄

Doha! Wta - I thought Trump was ok with the Qataris but either way not helping their general role in hosting negotiations.
I’m beginning to think that Trump did something absolutely appalling in Epstein’s files - I mean over and above your average use of sex trafficked young girls (I know). I’ve previously said a bigger person than Trump may he pressuring him to keep them quiet but if so it’s a very big person who did very bad stuff. It’s worrying.
Looks like the whole wide world will be bombed before we get to know though.

I think that both Mossad and Putin have bigly bad stuff on him.

I sometimes wonder whether there is anyone who's ever met him who doesn't have bad stuff on Trump!

Or he's just a cunt for cunts sake ?

Given the whole world knows that he is a rapist paedophile fraudster, it's hard to imagine what could be so more damaging.

It's not new information really.

Mandleson continued to be in touch with Epstein AFTER his first conviction. That's more damning in some ways, you could sort of if you squint make an argument that Mandleson had no idea Epstein was a bad guy when he wrote in the birthday book. But by 2009 everyone knew what he was and Mandleson was still in contact with him.

This has been known about for ages and it hasn't affected him negatively. Mandleson himself when challenged a while back basically said he was only friends with Epstein for the money and connections. Which...

I can only assume that other political parties haven't drawn much attention to this because they are waiting till close to the next GE. It's what I would do if I was Reform/a right wing paper because it is pretty damning. God knows what Labour are thinking. I can understand the need to have someone in America who can ooze up to Trump in a real politic sense but there has to be someone else.

He declares a state of emergency (or war). Simple.

There will be 'violent protests by left wingers' in the ciies where Bigly has just installed his peacekeeping stormtroopers, they will 'have to' open fire and it will be 'too dangerous' for elections to be held. That's what I expect.

I see evidence shows Epstein sold a woman to Bigly. Is this what he meant when he said Epstein stole young women from his Florida home? That he took girls away without paying Bigly the transaction fees due? That sounds like the kind of thing thst would cause a Bigly mega-tantrum.

He doesn't need to. He can't break the law so doesn't need the law to excuse what he's doing.

Please keep up.

Here’s what just happened: Trump sent a peace deal to Hamas, Hamas met to discuss it in Doha, where the U.S. is mediating talks and has a base,and Israel bombed them, presumably with US support.
