Donald Trump is a hero, he personally went to Springfield to save the cats and managed to grab 100 pussies while he was there.

 

 

There's nothing wrong with a nice cuddly ........ on second thoughts I don't think I'll go there. It may be misconstrued.

Conservative attorney George Conway is trolling Donald Trump both where he lives and where he plays by placing billboards near the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home and outside two of his favorite golf courses.

The billboards from Conway’s Anti-Psychopath PAC remind passersby that Trump cheats, and not just at golf.

On a similar vein here's a video from 2020

Reuters: Trump's media stock falls before insider trading restrictions lift

Trump Media & Technology Group, which is 57% owned by the Republican presidential candidate, fell 3.6%, bringing its loss this week to 7%.

Trump Media's stock jumped 12% on Friday after Trump told reporters he does not plan to sell his now $1.9 billion stake in the company, reversing weeks of steady losses partly due to worries about the end of insider trading restrictions related to its stock market debut in March.

A specific article from The New Republic which makes a good point:

 

https://newrepublic.com/series/45/trump-wanted-violence-got-it-golf-course-assassin

 

It would be foolish to blame any politician for either assassination attempt; both Routh and Thomas Crooks, the deceased Pennsylvania shooter, were mentally troubled and politically confused. But it’s important to acknowledge a simple and obvious truth: No one in this country has done more to sow division, create chaos, and, yes, encourage violence over the past decade than Trump. It was only a matter of time before that boomeranged on him.

 

And then, Trump cries victim when he finds himself in the crosshairs. But increasingly, it seems, Americans aren’t buying it. For the last two months, the Trump campaign has whined incessantly about the fact that the country quickly moved on following the first attempt on his life, in mid-July. They’re right about that; his near-death experience was out of the news within a few days, and Trump received no noticeable bump in the polls. The incident is now an afterthought in the election—it’s almost as if it never happened at all. The second assassination plot, meanwhile, barely registered on NFL Sunday.

 

He needs to learn when to close his mouth. Is all this blaming the other side helping him in the polls? I remain sceptical that this playing victim crap is appealing to anyone outside of his hardcore base.

Just a note about "The New Republic", it's a bit of an odd duckling, just like it's founder William F. Buckley , Jr.

Pros:
  • William F. Buckley , Jr. hates Donald Trump (similar to the Lincoln Project)

  • considered a "big brains" high-quality publication

Cons:
  • Libertarian ideology

  • so right wing it's left-wing (again it's Libertarian)

  • William F. Buckley , Jr. is as unbearable as Trump, not someone you'd ever invite to a dinner party

I always thought Libertarian was extreme-right, ie, ACT for us? I didn't think they were left-wing (eg, the Greens).

RFK Jr is a Libertarian. Trump spoke at the Libertarian convention trying to get their votes (it was utter chaos).

In his book "The Betrayal of the American Right", Murray Rothbard, one of the most influential theorists libertarianism, wrote

"One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we the right-wing had captured a crucial word from the enemy.

‘Libertarians’ had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety.

But now we the right-wing had taken it over"

quickymart: I always thought Libertarian was extreme-right, ie, ACT for us? I didn't think they were left-wing (eg, the Greens).

 

The term has changed quite a bit since it first came into use, now it mostly seems to mean "I've got the money and resources (and, typically, guns) to take care of myself, the government should go away", meaning cease to exist apart from providing military and police services.  In particular, stop using taxes to provide social services for the useless eaters, I'm OK and everyone else doesn't matter.

 

Many years ago someone referred to the political party that Bob Jones created as "the greedies", that's what a lot of libertarianism has morphed into.

It should come as no surprise that Trump's lawyers have a busy court schedule.

New York judge Merchan was scheduled to have Trump’s sentencing for this morning, a Wednesday. Then, citing the “unique time frame this matter currently finds itself in,” Merchan delayed Trump’s sentencing until 26 November

Trump's still busy in various other courts despite the US Supreme Court obvious bias.

If Trump doesn't win the presidency, he's as screwed as is his many minions, like Rudy Giuliani and Mike Lindell.

The Don goes to Rome:

 

"I met with Pope Francis today He's a really great pope — great, great pope. You know he's the leader of the Catholic Church — big church. I couldn't believe it when he told me how many Catholics there are. Way more than I thought. They have churches all over the world; some are very, very close (so close) to my hotels and golf courses. He tells me he's elected for life, probably copying that Xi guy in China. Fantastic idea, though. Fantastic!

 

It turns out the Pope is a lot like me, you never see him with his wife. He told me he's infallible. I said that's great, you'll never have to worry about breaking a hip. And he told me about a Mary Magdalene, beautiful girl, beautiful. Apparently a hooker. I asked him for her number. Didn't catch his answer. I'm told he said it in Latin. I give the guy credit because he doesn't look Latino. 

 

He took me into the Sistine Chapel. Beautiful ceiling. Not the usual white stucco stuff. I don't think too many people even know about this place. The paintings are great, I'm telling you. Lots of colors. The pope (great guy, by the way, knows more about the Bible than almost anybody — we got along great, I think he really likes me) told me the whole thing was painted by this young Italian. I think his name is Mike Langelo.

 

At least that's what Francis (we're great friends) called him, I think. Trust me, we're going to hear more about this guy. He's really artistic, and everybody tells me I have the greatest eye for the best art. It's natural, just like my incredible understanding of science. All the renowned scientists say they can't believe it.

 

I told Frank I'd like to buy some of Mike's art. I asked if Mike's done anything on velvet. He'll check (great guy). I'll hang his stuff at Mar-a-Lago or Trump Tower. This Mike guy needs more exposure. He's too much with the churches. He could paint my presidential portrait on the Capitol Dome. Or maybe a mural on my big, beautiful border wall; but just on our side.

 

When we left, the pope gave me a bible. Huge book. (Huge.) I told him I have the full set. You get one for free every time you take a porn star to a hotel room, Unbelievable. Just heard. 

 

The lamestream media is at it again. Fake news. (Fake news.) I just saw something on TV. They claim Mike the painter died 450 years ago. Sad. I've already got people looking into this and you won't believe what they're finding."

 

 

 

 





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
