Former President Donald Trump is facing mockery over a video clip that appears to show him promising to bring “very powerful crime” to Washington, D.C....
graffiti off the beautiful marble columns, the swastikas off the columns
Where tf in DC that Trump has ever been looks like this?
The most “graffiti” I can recall near the mall (aside from the bajillion stickers on lamp posts) were the hilarious projections on his stupid hotel a few years back (when it was still Trump Hotel)
But he’s read his (upside down) Bible and can totally name his favorite verse, but doesn’t want to, because the Bible is soooo personal to him and he’s totally read it, honest. The best people are saying Trump loves Bible, everyone is saying it
“We have been faced with compressed and expedited schedules in every one of those trials,” Todd Blanche, an attorney also representing Trump in his classified documents case, told the judge. “We—meaning myself, the firm and President Trump—have been put into an impossible position.”
Will then maybe your client shouldn’t have committed so many crimes…
Yet, it was no meme page or troll account posting that image: It was posted on Biden’s own X page early on Monday. Coming against the backdrop of Israel’s brutal war on Gaza that has killed more than 28,000 people and that the US has backed, the image prompted particular criticism of Biden by some social media users....
And so did Mike pence, lest we all forget that he was part of this too. IIRC, most of the documents were things like daily agendas that were classified bc of the identities of participants at meetings. Not, say, nuclear secrets…
I get it. The gaffs are worrisome, although I do wonder how much more serious they same simply bc we are being directed to tune into them by the media. GWB said some, to put it bluntly, stone cold idiotic shit and yet he was portrayed as a loveable buffoon for most of his presidency (and calls around his fitness for office focused more on the fact that he was, by all accounts, just not that smart, target than his mental acuity)
That being said, to give up the incumbency advantage seems shortsighted with Trump likely to be in the ballot. That and the relentless desire to redirect focus away from biden’s many accomplishments, which–let’s face it-- were conceived and largely executed by subject matter experts, not the man himself. And, as it should be (looking at the stable genius counting elephants in the corner)
Came across this article, and it’s a very interesting take on how Star Trek has changed with the times, and how modern audiences seem to have a harder time trusting institutions or imagining Trek’s utopia.
Look, it’s Kirk’s brother’s roommate’s boyfriend from that one background scene in that one episode! . Modern star wars has the same problem of making an entire universe seem so small. Makes me appreciate the bold choice that was Voyager: tossing them far away from anything familiar and any cameos (not that we didn’t get them but they had to be more creative within the premise, aka tuvok on sulu’s Excelsior )
Previous government efforts to boost the sale of seal products have also failed, noted Fink. As an example, she pointed to a 2014 plan which recommended the Fisheries and Oceans department try to revive the market for the sale of seal penises.
I’ll be sure to raise a fist to Biden when that day comes, and curse the wretched two party system which hath delivered me and you, apparently, such misery
Edit:but until then, I’ll vote for Biden. Because honestly
Now he could piss in his supporters open mouths and they would beg for more, in a true dickensian fashion (double entendre!!! Dicks-en their mouths… Ok, sorry)
