He Has No Deal, He Has No Dice - Trump Thread #162

[Spandauer]

Old enough to remember whole years in which I barely thought about the American president.

eta: in my haste I think I've numbered the thread incorrectly! Oh well.

I also noticed that Vance's war look is less heavy on the eyeliner.

He maybe uses a special Persian type ? Having trouble getting it ?

I am looking forward to when Ireland cuts the supply of Botox myself.

Edit - no sorry. His usual brand is made from libs tears. There is a shortage these days.

There's some funny trolling going on. Many of the Pitt actors with them all in robes.

And every time I peel an Orange I’m tutting as it’s so tough - the don can’t get owt right!

Iran responds to trump's attack on Meloni

@Justsaynonow- ah that’s interesting - didn’t see that - just thought she was a trump struck reporter when he said about the healthcare. Good on her for not feeling obliged to be sycophantic - some lessons for some people there!

If you are going to slag off the Pope Italy is really not the most sensible arena. At this rate it might be the Camorra that is his downfall.

I think the Pope needs to send a missive to Vance’s priest asking why he has been confirmed in the Catholic faith without proper instruction- and ask him to get it done.

The Mafia has been known to a bit Catholic at times.

My MIL dries orange peels on the balcony. I don't know why. She has loads of it.

He might see himself as Micheal in The Godfather Part 3.

From the blurb of Vance's latest book about his relationship and return to faith.

'Communion reveals how Vance regained his faith and discusses his conversion to Catholicism, how his faith guides his work in public life, and how it shapes his thoughts about the future.'

So it's OK for him to mix religion and politics?
Tosser.

Trump has more busses than Evil.

Here's a funny summary of some of yesterday's main WTF's - the Jesus meme, doordash & the Pope... (and that topic list sums just how batshit the current times are).

This is one of the Heathers’ take on the DoorDash Delivery lady. She was shipped in from Arkansas to prove what a man of the people the Don is, by answering the door himself to receive his daily MickeyD. (I doubt he paid for it.)
It’s long but worth a read, I think.

Could they not have got someone more local? Is there no-one in Washington who votes for him and works for DoorDash?

ETA the correct link, I hope.

First round of talks between Lebanon and Israel, in US, with Marco Rubio.
More of a positive approach.
Though US insisting the talks are not Itan's doing and the meeting was already planned long before Iran asked to include it in the list of conditions..... the famous list... now you read it, now you don't.... it is all in the art of the lie deal

I hope Lebanon gets some help with the practicalities of desarming Hezbollah. Because they are too broke to do it all on their own. I hope all goes well, they regain full control of their land and army and get the peace they need to rebuild the country.
Hopefully this will translate to the Iran front negotiations and next round gets them a bit closer. There is some noise about returning to the table in two days or so?

Bloody hell. I’m away for work at the moment and not checking in so much for reasons. Well I basically decided not to after last weeks “is he going to nuke them?” Concern.
But shit, we’re already halfway through?!
He’s talking about nukes and Italy and insulting the Pope?
Are we in the shit alternate Back to the Future future where Biff is all powerful but unravelling?

Good woman.

I do as well. If you blitz it to powder in a coffee grinder it's better than orange essence for baking. Thinly sliced in Chinese pork stir fry etc. Also orange tea.
I have lived in many countries...😋

Medieval times where political affronts ended up in several Churches and Popes.
Trump does not take competition! Only oil... or cash.

Mooch postulated on today’s TRIPUS that Trump is forcing Vance to “prove himself”.

• Sending him to Iran, while he took ‘lil Marco to the UFC fight in Washington
• Slagging off the Pope and then forcing Vance into a position of choosing between Trump and His Holiness

He’s playing them all like a puppet show for shits and giggles.

I think he's trying to undermine Vance because he can't bear the idea of anyone other than him standing in 2028.

Hopefully he's in a box by then or preferably sooner

And look who's at the Israel/Lebanon talks. Not Vance but Rubio.

Vance deserves to be ex-communicated. What an insult to the Catholic faith if he thinks it guides his work.
