The Trump Presidency, Season 2

[Beebo Brink]

I think that I'd rather face a firing squad.

Of all things, I was mulling over these choices yesterday after reading a news article, and I reached the exact same conclusion. Just shoot me.

I'm not upset that Trump keeps falling asleep at meetings. I'm upset that he keeps waking up!

Offs. This "event" at the White House Correspondents' Dinner is going to get exploited to hell by The Yellow Snowflake to bulldoze opposition to his damned vanity ballroom project.

Maybe one of these days one of their their false flag ops will screw up and succeed.

ETA: I started a new thread for this assassination event.

Trump decided that the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., needs renovation. He ordered it to get an industrial grade American blue swimming pool surface on its stone floor.

Trump claims it will cost only about 1-2 million $, and should last 40-50 years.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Is Being Overhauled by Trump's Pool Contractor

Trump is renovating the century-old pool, which was the site of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

Emperor Flatulous Maximus posted something that got burned on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MurderedByWords/s/iogS51Vuck

I added:

To complete the metaphor from "swamp" to *cough* "the most transparent presidency ever" *cough* ... The reflecting pool on the right should be:
* dried up and fenced off with a ticket booth changing admission, and a trump brand lemonade stand selling reflecting pool water for his personal profit
* Littered with the scattered dead bodies of war crime victims
* Contain barbed wire concentration/deportation cages
* several view obstructing billboards entirely redacted with sharpie
* a Russian flag flying above the US flag
* an nuclear middle silo open and ready
* a couple of firenadoes consuming cash and copies of the Constitution
* a smug giant golden statue of trump defecating on a small stripped naked and chained statue of Liberty side by side with tech billionaires in the mud
* A horde of Republican Congress zombies passively standing around in the muck drooling loudly on themselves doing absolutely nothing other than having adoringly up at the backside of the trump statue
* Garbage left uncollected by park service personal that were fired
* The remains of an airplane wreck due to his doge layoffs and a burning Tesla as well
* ...

Chuck Schumer looking at the blueprints in disgust, sadly observing the ballroom might be "too small", and that an Obama ballroom would have been "classier".

Schumer, make yourself useful!

I was mildly curious after reading an alarmist headline on Reddit, but even in a post that took this theory seriously it was pretty damn obvious that there was nothing there. The term "scientist" is ludicrously broad to begin with, but it was really stretched in an attempt to group these disparate people together. There was no coherence to the work they were doing, or where they were doing it, or in the manner of their deaths. Then to stretch it over a span of years was further distortion.

Someone could make the same claim for "numerous medical workers have died or gone missing" and come up with 50 people that met that criteria in any metro area. I'm waiting for "numerous plumbers have died or gone missing" before I get too worried.

King to meet Trump off-camera amid clash fears before Charles’ Congress speech – US politics live

British officials have pushed for the Oval Office meeting between the monarch and the US president to be held off camera

for fear of a repeat of the scenes when Trump berated the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in front of the world’s press.

Sources involved in planning the trip say Charles will pose for the cameras at the start of his centrepiece bilateral meeting on Tuesday, but will not be filmed talking about anything substantive.

Sounds like another Trump failure, cowtowing to some British monarch. We fought a war over that I think (/s)

No one seems to understand that Pete Hegseth is allowed to give joy rides on U.S. government owned Apache helicopters to Kid Rock and anyone else for that matter, because Pete Hegseth is a serious person.

Hegseth faces pushback after giving Kid Rock “joy rides” on Apache helicopters

“Why is Pete Hegseth spending your taxpayer dollars to give Kid Rock ‘joy rides’ on Apache helicopters?” one Democratic lawmaker asked.

"Stupidity pretending to be common sense." That's a marvelous quote I'm stealing for sure. I always like to say "common sense is what tells you the world is flat because it looks flat."
