Problem is, try convincing his millions of followers (and the clowns who voted for him) of everything in your sentence. Good luck with that (sadly).

You and I see that everything Trump touches dies, they see everything he touches turns to gold (in their mind, also for them).

HA HA! (sorry not sorry...couldn't have happened to a nicer person).

It's not like some software where revoking the license stops the program from running.

Unfortunately it's open-source code, meaning "The Truth" IT department have the source code (the recipe).

Revoking the license will not bring the site down.

Trump and Co could be sued, but it would take years. Perhaps a judge could issue a cease and desist order, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

News Week: Trump Aims to Block Diaries, Call Logs From January 6 Committee, National Archives Says

Former President Donald Trump is attempting to prevent investigators from accessing a wide range of daily diaries, call logs, drafts of speeches, and handwritten notes related to the January 6 Capitol riot, the National Archives said in a Saturday court filing.

According to the filing, Trump is seeking to block around 750 relevant pages of documents from being investigated by the January 6 House Committee.

The latest revelation offers the most detailed look into the types of documents Trump is attempting to withhold after he sued to prevent the National Archives from overturning such records for investigation earlier this month.

I don't usually think of "Rolling Stones" when I want exclusives, but here you go.

Rolling Stones: New Trouble for Trump: His Company Is Accused of a Major Insurance Scam

...When a deluge flooded the Trump Organization’s Westchester County golf course and a nearby town in 2011, the organization used a wildly inflated claim to score an insurance payout of nearly $1.3 million, pulling in far more than what it spent to repair the course, two people tell Rolling Stone. The previously unreported insurance claim at Trump National Golf Club in the Village of Briarcliff Manor far outstripped the cost to repair the damages, which were about $130,000 to $150,000, one of the sources says.

One of the sources, a former Briarcliff employee, says superficial repairs were made to the damaged parts of the course. “The work was never completed,” the former employee says. “They basically band-aided it.” The Trump Organization had sought even more than the nearly $1.3 million that was paid out, but the insurer withheld a portion because the Trump Organization failed to produce the required receipts, the other source says.

...Questions around the claim could spell more legal trouble for a Trump Organization already eyeball-deep in lawsuits and investigations. The Westchester County District Attorney’s office has opened a criminal investigation into financial dealings at Trump’s Briarcliff club. The New York Times, which first reported the investigation, said it appears focused at least in part on whether the Trump Organization misled local officials about the value of the property to reduce its taxes.

Imo they will eventually comply with the licence and admit they are based on modified Mastodon in small print somewhere.

Gawd, I wish I was more skilled with Photoshop. I'd take off the tail and stick a big cork up the backside, then add a fountain

of bull-excrement spewing from the mouth, under which the Trumpites would be capering about, even drinking from the crap stream.

EDIT: Then I'd change the the text to read, 'Get it while it's hot!'

'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.' Voltaire

'A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.' Edward Abbey

These people are waiting for an announcement from JK Jr and have t-shirts and flags supporting Donald Trump with JFK Jr as VP.

A small problem is JFK Jr died in 1999. But they believe he faked his death because Hillary wanted to kill him before he ran for Senate.

Yes. That's the people who vote Republican.

I thought (hoped?) that QAnon hadn't posted anything since last December? Or is this just one of "his" offsiders saying this drivel?

Also (related but unrelated) Virginia votes for their new governor today. Here's hoping Terry wins, that Glen guy is basically a Trump clone.

I am starting to think that Q could be a very clever subversive with a very twisted sense of humour. Maybe he is pushing the envelope to see just how crazy an idea he can get people to swallow.

There are multiple sources of Q material. Sometimes Q people spontaneously generate it themselves. Reminds me of the Y2K material back in '99.

Not looking great for Virginia (at the time of me writing this, Trumpkin, sorry, Glen, leads by almost 200,000 votes with 59% counted):

Depressing.

With the Republican Party having Trump as a friend, who needs enemies?

Politico: Trump, the billionaire family and the bull semen baron who divides them

Pete Ricketts, the governor of Nebraska and scion of one of the most powerful megadonor families in the Republican Party, had a pressing request for Donald Trump: Please stay out of my home-state politics.

In a phone call earlier this year, according to a person with direct knowledge of the discussion, governor Ricketts tried to dissuade Trump from anointing a political adversary, cattle-breeding executive and Trump ally Charles Herbster, in the race to succeed Ricketts as governor in 2022. The two agreed to stay in touch about it — but they didn’t, and the pitch didn’t work. Trump leapt into the Nebraska battle last week, defying governor Ricketts’ wishes and endorsing Herbster in a show of force for a longtime ally.

The months long saga of Herbster’s rise — and governor Ricketts’ efforts to halt it — represents the latest unusual twist in a complicated relationship at the center of Republican politics: The ties between the former president and the billionaire, Chicago Cubs-owning Ricketts family.

Most of all, the episode illustrates Trump’s primacy in the GOP and his willingness to spurn the party hierarchy, rebuffing a prominent governor in his own state to elevate one of Trump’s original political backers, a dyed-in-the-wool loyalist who was at both Trump’s 2015 presidential campaign launch and the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the deadly riot at the Capitol.
