Is this the president of the US speaking or thousands of monkeys trying to write Hamlet?

Yes.

He also claimed he'd done more for the workers than their parents. Asshat.

How many Donald Trumps does it take to change a lightbulb ?

None. He says it is fixed, works better than ever, and all the WH staff sit in the dark aplauding him.

His energy secretary then declares Trump to have invented " dark light", sings it's praises, and declares it will be rolled out nationwide.

In the meantime, the "Acme Flashlight Co" announces Don Jr has joined it's board as Consultant, and their stock price goes through the roof as people run out before night time to buy flashlights. Also, the "Acme Flashlight Co" receives a mysterious order for 10 billion flashlights from the Venezualan army at $1k each.

Welcome to the USA.

We're inching towards the end of yet another thread.

Depending on what medication the 🍊💩has taken, his self-serving drivel eulogy for Lindsey Graham will probably add a few WTF posts I expect.

So new thread here for laters:

Weirdly Greenland doesn't seem to have an opinion.

Careful, the Reformistas might report that thread title for inciting violence 😉

I did hesitate but then thought 'feck it!'

😂

Final version of bingo. Took the AR off, changed a few, and added "Sir".

So, the funeral is due to start at 7pm UK time. Will Trump expect to speak first or be the triumphant final speaker?

How times change. Zelenskyy is being welcomed and Bibi not so much it seems.

Citing a US official, CNN is reporting that Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been trying to secure an invitation to the White House for several weeks to talk about the war in Iran and to warn Donald Trump against giving into concessions in diplomatic talks with Tehran.
Trump, who has a complicated, often strained relationship with Netanyahu, had reportedly been reluctant to meet.
According to CNN, White house officials were frustrated at what they saw as Israeli efforts to leak to the press in order to “will a meeting into existence”, the official said. Lindsey Graham’s funeral offered a chance for a sit down between the two leaders.

Netanyahu was originally Fred Trump's chum, not little Donny's, of course, and may have overplayed that a little and upset the Fragile Ego.

Speak or resign: Beshear ups demand for McConnell health status.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) demanded that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) verbally address constituents and demonstrate his ability to serve or resign his seat in a blunt letter sent to the senator and his staff.
...
Beshear said in the letter that it was also being sent to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), whom Beshear urged to investigate McConnell's capacity to serve.
"I understand anyone's desire for privacy, but when you run for office and serve as one of a state's two U.S. senators, you willingly abdicate much of your personal privacy," the letter read. "That's the deal, and we all know it when we run."
Beshear concluded the letter, "All of this speculation and even this letter could have been avoided with a minimal amount of transparency," adding, "Kentuckians are just asking you to be honest."
Thune's and McConnell's offices did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.

Finally.

The truth hurts

"After the vote on Friday, France's UN mission criticised the US and compared it to North Korea and Russia. "The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore"

Brian Glenn. That is the reporter who asked Zelenskyy about why no suit.

Brian Glen, who also happens to be the boyfriend of MTG.

In the PRC, there is usually an announcement that they are being investigated, or they are leaving to look after their sick parents. In Russia, they stay away from high rise hotels. In the USA, I think it is a YouTube channel they get. And nobody watches it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Andy sent the letter. But as with so many things the Dems might do, there is no 'force' behind it. A governor has no power to make a Legislator do anything.

ETA...and if anyone is behind this 'Schrödinger's Senator Subterfuge' that will end on 4 August, it's John Thune. He has more to lose than anyone if the Dems gain the majority.

Can no one order a welfare check ?

If I hadn't seen my neighbour in a few days, I would. And the police would respond.
