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.

Previous thread:

Just dropped in. Am listening to someone explaining the prospective funders for the Golden Ballroom have failed to come forth and a legal stop has been put on construction. I hope this is true. So congratulations USA on the new TrumpHole in the Ground. It will look a lot better with some £ shop gold tinsel chucked around on it.

What the FUCK?!

Well, it shows the succuss of Flood The Zone that this has been lurking among all the other crazy rather than front page news on every outlet for days.

It's more likely that is just a broken seat that can't be sold.

But it might be someone who just want's time on their own ?

Sold! To someone with deeply masochistic tendencies and no taste whatsoever...

That is truly horrible and sinister.

ICE agents are banned from watching it apparently. In case they become suspicious of her "Einstein" visa.

:-)

Seriously, what are you getting by being on this thread?

These are long running threads specifically for people who do not like or approve of this administration. We're here to share that with like-minded people. We're not open to debate. There are lots of threads on here devoted to debate.

Shit-stirring just for the sake of it is a sign of a deeply unhealthy psychology. Just exactly the type to be taken in by the moronic spew of the MAGA crew.

Why not run along and find more of your own kind?

A more detailed article:

Employees Rally Around Penn’s Refusal to Disclose Jewish Faculty, Student Names
The Trump administration asked the university to hand over personal information for the members of Jewish clubs and organizations as well as the Jewish Studies department.

It seems UPenn is refusing to hand over personal details unless the person gives consent. Quite right too. Data protection basics.

EEOC is going to law to demand names and personal information of Jewish people – all under the guise of helping them, you understand.

EEOC has also targetted other universities and managed to get personal details from the University of California, Berkeley and California State University Los Angeles "prompting backlash from faculty and a lawsuit from the CSU faculty union."

Or some poor journalist who has to write a review

I think in this case it's ok for the journalist to go to the pub instead and use AI to write the review.

The US press has been covering it. It's been going on for a while. Penn's hardly been a beacon of admirable behaviour with the administration, so it's good that they're standing up on this.

UPENN apparently isn't the only school that's been targeted. It's been announced that Columbia, George Washington, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, NYU, Northwestern, UCLA, Berkeley, Minnesota, and USC will be receiving 'visits' from a 'federal task force' regarding antisemitism. It will be interesting to see what information this 'task force' will be demanding to see.

I do find it interesting that Scrotus is targeting his Alma Mater (Wharton @ UPENN). Who hurt his itty bitty feelings all those years ago? Did some Prof give him the grades he deserved rather than the ones his daddy paid for?

Well there's also the I Don't Care, Do U? jacket, and stealing Michelle Obama's speeches. So it's not like she's idle.

The economists at Wharton issued a bigly report before the election saying his economic plans were not good.

Plus, they employed Joe Biden, even giving him a named professorship.

One is reminded of the 1933 German census.

She posted about online bullying. Yes, the Irony is why I remember this.

There is a bill next year that will be in her honour or something. About online bullying and fake porn.

@StealthSightHound

TBH she's been pretty off the radar until the publicity rounds for her 'movie'. She was all but nonexistent during the campaign, surfaced briefly for inauguration & its festivities, then pretty much disappeared again.

I guess her '1st Lady's initiative' is "uniting Federal resources with innovative public- and private-sector partnerships to provide more pathways to success for young people who have experienced foster care". But other than this EO she supposedly 'organized' and then watched Scrotus sign, I haven't heard shit about anything she's actually doing for it.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

This ties in with the post on previous thread, that several tiny Caribbean nations were being forced to accept Haitians deported from the US.

@SerendipityJane's downbeat comments are starting to look decidedly prophetic.

Thanks for saying that. I'm sorry, I was talking from the UK perspective.

And it clearly is being covered here, even if not filling the front pages.

Downbeat ?

I'm only posting the good things I am thinking.

"fraud on an industrial scale, possibly the largest in US history," is so exactly as if Trump said it during one of his rambling monologues that I fear brain-rot may be catching.

"Possibly the largest". Citation needed! But of course, as Trump knows, saying "possibly" means nobody can point out with certainty that you are lying.

Not sure what a clearly deranged nurse in Virginia has to do with murder in Minneapolis, but if she thinks saline is a powerful anaesthetic her patients must suffer needless pain. The Mail is not the only available link for that story: there is also MSN and of course Fox News went big on it: it's not so common for mad Democrats to suggest ways to kill Republican goons, as opposed to mad Republicans going out and shooting down anyone who gets in their way (or their sights) regardless of political affiliation, so they take what they can get.

Incidentally, the Mail is now calling her a "vile nurse"; twenty hours ago they were calling her a "woke nurse". I wonder why they changed it?

On MSNow, Fulton Co Elections holding presser and saying that the FBI took the 2020 ballots and they have no idea where.

I knew they were 'conducting an operation' but didn't know that.
