Whatever Atrocity is Next... - Trump Thread #154

[Spandauer]

I actually put this as a 'placeholder' title whilst I tried to think of a better one. But then, on reflection, copy editing didn't seem necessary.

I'm hoping he starts off the answer to every question with trump's name..."when Donnie & I were on the island", "well, DT went first...", "Donnie invited me..." etc.

Trump saying America needs to move from Epstein files as there will be no new prosecutions.

That's the 'official' DOJ position. I can't remember the exact words but it was along the lines of 'nothing we've seen rises to the level needed for prosecution'. I'm sure it would if Epstein's pals had been mostly Democrats.

I was going to post this link. It's very good.

Big stuff that hardly makes the radar these days.

With the relative silence of the last few days, there is time to explore US news a bit deeper, and here is a gem that would be a top story in normal times:

Trump promises Schumer funding for NY tunnel project — if Penn Station and Dulles Airport are renamed after him | CNN Politics

"President Donald Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last month that he was finally prepared to drop his freeze on billions of dollars in funding for a major New York infrastructure project.

But there was a condition: In exchange for the money, Schumer had to agree to rename New York’s Penn Station and Washington’s Dulles International Airport after Trump."

I bet he wants a licensing fee too.

@RedTagAlan that news is so ridiculous, it would not be believed if it hadn't included the word 'Trump'. His ego is astounding. Is he legally allowed to withhold what I assume are federal funds under these grounds?

Nope, he is not allowed to. It's in the courts.

So much for small government eh. I don't think there is a federal court in the land that is not choked up with his court cases.

I wish he could be fined for actions that result in wasting court time when people/organisations have to resort to a court ruling to curb his overreach.

No problem Mr President - it is now called ‘Trump should be in the Pen’ station and ‘Trump is very dull’ airport.
He acts like we’ll forget who he was - as much as I would like to do that - he’s definitely earned his place in the history books.

Infamy, Infamy, they have all got it Infamy

FT exclusive:

“The US state department is set to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities across Europe to disseminate Washington’s policy positions and challenge perceived threats to free speech.”

I was going to link to some more racist shit about the Obamas that Trump had reposted on his Truth Social page but it wouldn't change anything we already know about the scumbag so instead I'm posting something positive about a real American citizen.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I saw your post in the "good Trump thread" about his Truth depicting the Obamas as monkeys.

I looked it up. WTAF.

Call him a racist over that Obama post as that is what he is.

Can you imagine if Keir Starmer posted something similar. Maybe Kemi as a monkey. I doubt he'd last the day, he'd be rightly torn to shreds. Trump can just do whatever the fuck he wants and no one gives a shit.

Who is stopping him ?

who's stopping him?

Not from this side of the pond.

I am reminded of the way the Titanic rose up out of the water at 45° just before it broken in half and sank to it's doom.

RMS USA is probably at 42° - it hit the iceberg years ago.

Was reading a piece in the Guardian about AI, seriously disturbing. There are people who do dreadful things. The video is from an ex grand juror. Note the paperclip 📎

Link doesn't work for me, @placemats ?

If we can trust the provenance of this, 43°

Try this @PerkingFaintly

Aha. Thanks, @placemats .

Strange that he picked on Dulles..renaming the much much more adjacent to the White House Regan National airport (DCA) in his own honor 😉would surely have been more appropriate.

Wonder why that was...🙄

I'm sorry, could you please explain the significance of the paperclip?

She also doesn't (is not allowed to) identify the cases she's been a grand juror on, so we can all fill in the blanks to our own preference. I don't know that she's really communicating what Bill Maddow says, viz that there is a paedophile in the White House.

Trump is a sex offender, of course, but I don't know of anything proven about girls under the age of 16. Mind you, I would expect there to be other sex offenders in the White House because Trump surrounds himself with those of his ilk (see his Mar A Lago conference of Russell Brand and other alleged sex offenders).

The Guardian is reporting it as real.
