The King of Crazytown Can't Control The Chaos - Trump Thread #159

Spandauer · 31/03/2026 17:54

“Whether you’re a military analyst or a political analyst, whether you’re in the Democratic or Republican party, there’s a reality here. Donald Trump has met the moment of truth. The kind of fictional life that he’s led and evoked over the last four or five decades has now been unmasked as a deadly drama. It’s going to cost the lives of so many people. It’s going to devastate the US economy and the regional economy. It’s going to set back America and its standing in the world. It’s a horrific moment.”
Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota.

Heaven Obi-Wan Kenobi help us. You're our only hope.

Quote : "Not sure why it's being billed as "going to the moon", it's like me "going to london" and just doing a lap of the M25 at night."

Nah. Because nobody has been near the moon since the 70's, So not like the M25. More like Milton Keynes.

🤣

How many "Stone Age"s does Trump think there were? It's a bit science fictional or new agey to think civilisations came round again and again and then regressed to how things were before them, I feel.

Oh, and today is the launch of the Artemis II. Estimated lift off 6.24pm EDT. The last manned flight to the moon was the Apollo 17 moon landing in 1972.

I don't know why I'm so worried about this. Probably because he's pushed for it as part of his 'legacy'. It just feels as if it's been rushed.

The Artemis/SLS programme has taken years just to get as far as a Lunar flyby...the programme has it's faults but I'm not sure being rushed is one of them..

Sauer came well prepared...

GORSUCH: Do you think Native Americans are birthright citizens under your test?

SAUER: Ah, I think ... so. I have to think that through.

Wow. Trump went.

CNN : The president attended the arguments for over an hour, the first sitting president to do so, according to the Supreme Court Historical Society.

I hope their passports and social media are up to standard when the reenter America. ICE may lock them up.

Just worth pointing out to the whole fucking world that they are debating English common law (as it was in 1776)

He's probably fantasising about pneumatic actresses in fur bikinis as in B movies

Oh heavens, like Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC, when she was told to register terror and opened her mouth so wide to scream that you could see all the gold fillings at the back?

Is Trump being catfished? 😂

Well.. who is this new president of Iran?
Iran has a prime minister, very same one, and a Supreme Leader, the injured son of the ptevious one. As we all know.
Who is this president?

Justdancevance · 01/04/2026 17:25

They ask Ben Kingsley to dress up as Trevor again and use his mandarin costume and lines and add a beard and headdress

I’m sure they could get him to fake a zoom call with Donald and show highlights on fox for trumps base. If Donald tells them that’s the Ayatollah, they’ll believe him.

MushMonster · 01/04/2026 17:30

Maybe I should google before posting LOL Pezeshkian's title is President, but he is still the very same guy, as far as I know he is still in post.

Yes he was elected in 2024

Trump's got it wrong

This comment on the live thread had me in stitches.

If a debate between RFK jr and John Sauer were broadcast constantly across the Strait of Hormuz i rather think the Iranians would surrender control

Talkinpeace · 01/04/2026 17:35

Catching back up with you all after a couple of weeks away.

There's a high chance that Trump will start off talking about oil, his addled brain will make the connection to energy and he'll end up rambling about windmills.
Not so much Don Quixote, more Donald Quixotic

Now that thought is enough to drive someone to drink.

This did make me laugh

All right, live whatevering of Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Arguing for the bad guys is US Solitictor General John (voice is an immutable characteristic so let's show some respect) Sauer. For the plaintiffs it's ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang.

Thanks for the new thread. I'm placemarking with some personal news. I had a mammogram this morning and it was all clear. I'm still cancer free.

Catching up on the thread after being out all day.

I obviously don't know you @MrTiddlesTheCat but your news made me well up. So pleased there is still happiness and hope around. Long may your mammograms be clear!

I think he will spend most of his time on his new bigly ballroom and say that the Iranians have demanded he build it as part of the peace deals and they want to be the first in there as the Iranians love dancing

Well, technically you have the Palaeolithic, the Mesolithic and the Neolithic, so Trump would need to specify how far back he wants to bomb Iran. I mean, are we talking hunter/gatherer society here or are we keeping agriculture?
