My thoughts exactly! Of course that goes again MAGA logic as their orange God would have been assassinated, so they would be baying for (Biden's) blood...even though according the orange buffoon Biden hadn't actually broken any laws at all 🙄

The only requirements for a Trump vice-president: be a groveling minion who knows their place.

Oh yeah, and f__k the US Constitution, f__k checks and balance, and f__k democracy.

The Guardian: Trump reportedly said Elise Stefanik ‘a killer’ amid running mate speculation
...
A Republican campaign operative said: “If you’re Trump, you want someone who’s loyal above all else. Particularly because he sees Mike Pence as having made a fatal sin.”

Pence was Trump’s vice-president, unswervingly loyal until he refused to block certification of election results in key states. On 6 January 2021, the former Indiana governor was forced to flee from a mob Trump sent to the Capitol, some chanting that Pence should be hanged.

Witnesses to the House January 6 committee said Trump told an aide Pence “deserved” that fate.

For context JPMorgan CEO compensation package was NZD $57 million/year, 393 times the NZD $145,000 median employee salary at the company.

CNBC: U.S. executives in Davos see a Trump victory in 2024, and no cause for concern

Global business leaders may be in the snowy hills of Switzerland, but their conversations keep returning to Washington, D.C.
...
Several business executives have noted a theme in their private discussions during the summit: U.S. industry leaders seem overwhelmingly nonplussed with a second Trump term, while foreign chief executives are terrified — particularly of restrictions on immigration and potential global conflicts.

One prominent U.S. business executive, who asked not to be named because his discussions with foreign leaders were private, said some of the fear may be due to a lack of understanding of the checks and balances built into the U.S. government.

“I’m not sure Europeans understand how weak executive orders are,” that person said. “We have a justice system. Congress will probably be divided. It’s right to be cautious, but it won’t be the end of the world.”

Another U.S. bank CEO privately expressed annoyance with media exaggeration of the threat of a Trump presidency, stressing he’s “all bark and no bite.” The bank chief also dismissed Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election as bloviation.

“He’s going to win the presidency,” the CEO predicted. “Many of his policies were right.”

I only just had this video pointed out to me this morning, but it's pretty clever (and a nice nod to Hitchcock as well):

Trump proposed "crime-free zones".

Or a dog whistle for "white only neighbourhoods".

The good old racist.

The NY Times - Opinion - The G.O.P.’s ‘Nasty’ New Religion

 

18 Jan 2024

 


We’ve spent the past few days deconstructing what happened at the Iowa caucuses. I’m still stuck on what happened before:

 

We saw just how faithfully the Republican Party now worships at the church of nasty. Just how fully it genuflects before the great god of nastiness, Donald Trump.

 

I don’t mean by supporting and voting for him, though there’s that. I mean by idolizing and emulating him. By accepting as catechism his perverse moral logic. By taking one of his favorite words as an optimal mode of conduct and a set of marching orders. 

 

He called Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman” back in the day. Just this week, he called the jurist presiding over one of his civil trials “a nasty judge” and “a nasty man.”  

 

And you know how it is with Trump, whose behavior is textbook projection: When he’s attaching an epithet to you, he’s making an admission about himself. ...

It would be a terrible irony if the SCOTUS agrees and says a President has total immunity while in office, and Biden sends a team to remove Trump.

 

 

LOL, that's hilarious! Yeah, bring it on, SCOTUS! Give Biden total immunity. As Sideface pointed out, this all-in-caps BS couldn't have been written by Trump, the grammar far exceeds Donny's skill set. But I'll bet he approved it. The media will have a field day with this 🤪

From today's MAGA rally in New Hampshire

Here's an actual cognitive test. Based on his description, It's probably pretty close to what he took
---------------
What year is this? What season is this? What month is this? What is today’s date? What day of the week is this? What country are we in? What state/province are we in? What city/town are we in? What is the street address of your house?

I am going to name three objects. When I am finished, I want you to repeat them. Remember what they are because I am going to ask you to name them again in a few minutes. Please repeat the three items for me.

Spell the word WORLD. Now spell it backwards please.

Now what were the three objects I asked you to remember?

Show wristwatch. Ask: What is this called?

Show pencil. What is this called?

I would like you to repeat a phrase after me: "No ifs, ands or buts"

Read the words on this page and then do what it says. Then, hand the person the sheet with "CLOSE YOUR EYES" on it.

Hand the person a pencil and paper. Write any complete sentence on that piece of paper. Score one point. Copy this design with three simple shapes please.

Take a piece of paper, hold it up in front of the person and say: Take this paper in your hand fold the paper in half once with both hands and put the paper down on the floor.
---------------
And here's how Trump described it today.
---------------
When the doctors say that me cognitively, I mean.

I'm up here making a speech with no notes. I got these teleprompters.

I haven't started practically reading them. Yet do you think Biden could do that. He can't do. He can't read the teleprompters. He can't find the stairs off the damn Podium. But but I said Well I'm good at tests.

So what's the story? He said well the problem is you know people will find out. If you do badly it's not a particularly good thing.

You know, have some guy get like a like a disaster.

I said well is that a hard test, it can be hard. I said look I got to take it because I got to shut it up and I took it and I aced it.

I think it was 35 30 questions and let me tell you you know they always show you the first one like a giraffe a tiger or this or that a whale which one is the whale.

Okay and that goes on for three or four and then it gets harder and harder and harder and then it's multiply 3,293 * 4 divide by 3.

They have plenty of tough stuff but those last 15 20 questions I guarantee you Biden couldn't get by number three I think he'd probably get the whale you know a test for a president harder and harder and then it's mult multiply 3,293 * 4 divide by 3

They have plenty of tough stuff but those last 15 20 questions I guarantee you Biden couldn't get by number three.

I think he'd probably get the whale. You know a test for a president

But isn't segregation a good way to get back to the "good old days", along with the removal of womens' rights, body autonomy and democracy?

From today's Trump rally

"This used to be a beautiful Capital. Today it's one of the most unsafe places you can go to anywhere on Earth but certainly in this country.

People being shot every single day and killed every single day
...
We're going to clean up Washington DC and we're going to make it a crime free zone.

There's not going to be any crime. We're going to have laws but we're going to have to take it over. We're going to federalize it we're going to take it over we're going to run it and we're going to run it properly.

We're going to run it very very strongly

There's not going to be people shot people. Come in from your state they want to go see Washington so they come in from New Hampshire. They walk down the road they end up getting shot and uh it's a very dangerous place right now we're going to take it back and we're going to get rid of the crime."

Oh but it's all about "freedoms". Just so long as it's the freedoms that they (Republicans) want you to have 🙄

If Trump does get back into power, I wonder how long it'll be before the mass deportations, arrests and other manifestations of Soviet Russia occur?

Is his grammar getting worse ??

 

I know he always engages mouth before brain but it has been reported that he may have dyslexia or one or two forms of dyslexia.

 

In Trumps case I wonder if he has "verbal dyslexia" (which is a misalignment with regards to the conscious and subconscious minds and the voice as an outcome. Basically, Vocal Dyslexia is the result of a 'short circuit' in the connection between the speech centre in the brain and the voice)

 

AND "hyperactive dyslexia". This is a very close relative to ADHD and is often co-diagnosed, hence Trumps dislike to long written reports or verbal briefings - he can not sit still or concentrate for too long.

 

His grammar also appears to get worse when he is excited or angry. Just as what happens when a child throws a tantrum. Several, unconfirmed, reports suggests he has the reading and vocal ability of a 4 year old (??) Janet & John not Tolkien or NSA reports. Or as it is appearing, financials ("numerical dyslexia").





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.
