He's a (Very Good) Friend Of Epstein (Oh, Yes He Is) - Trump Thread #149

[Spandauer]

Taking paracetamol doesn’t give you autistic babies but voting for Trump definitely gives you a festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul— all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair.

He is covering up his hand again

Why can't I stop linking China's 100% tariff, on top of whatever else is already in place, to Trump lashing out blindly after not getting a Nobel Peace Prize?

American soya bean farmers are going to love this after having to write off this year's crop.

Trump got the flu and covid jab yesterday, he has been vaxxed

But it's not just a years loss. It's the complete destruction of those trade routes. Which will take decades to be replaced.

And because the more MAGA you are, the more you could never believe this could happen the less you will have done to mitigate it.

When your faith in a political figure transcends your ability to act rationally then you are a cunt in a cult.

From Trump's lips to the stock market. 130% tariff on China?

Doesn't he have any faith in the advice of his Sec for Health and Human Services? 🤔

Alexandra got fired for this sm post:

The post was a riff on Kirk's own words about an attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, after a man entered their home in San Francisco and attacked Paul with a hammer shortly before the 2022 midterms. He sustained a fractured skull and other severe injuries.

POLITICS
David DePape charged with assault, attempted kidnapping in attack on Paul Pelosi
Days after the attack, Kirk spoke about the attacker on his show, "And why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco, or the Bay Area, wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out, I get his bail is about $30,000 or $40,000. Bail him out and then go ask him some questions."
Alexandra's post mimicked Kirk's words: "They caught the guy (allegedly)..." she wrote after the alleged gunman was named and arrested. "And why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in Utah wants to be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail out Tyler Robinson... Bail him out and then go ask him some questions about Charlie."

Grandpa GaGa may have forgotten that he was the president at the time, not Biden.

You forget that the MAGA(/Reform) attitude to facts is one of deep deep distrust and suspicion. Something cannot be a fact if it does not agree with their worldview.

It's ironic to contemplate that the individuals most susceptible to Islamic extremism are the more lunatic Reformers or Maganauts.

I’m not understanding this at all. I miscarried a baby because there was a leak in the placenta. Where else does a pregnant woman carry her baby? ETA: I just checked. I am the stupid one, sorry. I had always imagined the foetus in the womb, surrounded by the placenta. Good grief, apologies for my ignorance on a par with the esteemed health secretary of the US.

Please ignore my above, I just realised I got the amniotic sac and the placenta completely confused. Ignore me, I’ll go away.

Please don't, we're all allowed to be human and confused from time to time.

That gave me a wee chuckle 😆 at least you’re not running the dept for health! To be fair most people’s actual understanding of the female anatomy is scarily lacking (I count myself in that for a long time!)

@pointythings, @Igotjelly - it’s not really an excuse that my amniotic sac leaked, and I subsequently had to go into labour at 22 weeks, in French, is it?

I think it's an excuse in any language because you aren't RFK.

@Jaichangecentfoisdenom

That sounds a terrible experience. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, we're all allowed to get mixed up occasionally. It's what one does with that which matters:
a) correct oneself (and even apologise, though unnecessary)
or
b) become Secretary for Health, propagate unsubstantiated conspiracy theories and attack women's and babies' health.

Agree that sounds horrendous, I’m so sorry that happened to you!

Aye but you're not a health secretary and nor do you play one on the Internet.

And I'm sorry that happened to you

So it’s Bigly’s Big Day and he was on fine form in the press interview on the plane. He made about 23 references to the Nobel Peace Prize including suggesting that they did a special extra award just for him. He’s stopped 8 wars you know, he’s very good at it, it’s like nothing the world has ever seen…

He was also going on about not making it to heaven....

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."
