I will dance like a fool if he's sued for damages incurred and the cost to restore the property to the prior staus before the project started.

No no, you're SUPPOSED to find the one on the right vile for reasons that TOTALLY aren't just racism and xenophobia!

Until I noticed that it was posted by Trump, I assumed that was the point.

I really wonder about this comparison.

Like base level we have, "Some dude and lady in a fancy suit who looks like a rich asshole" and "some dude and lady that look like regular asspeople in a regular ass restaraunt."

Which of these am I supposed to be empathising with exactly?

El-Sayed Fires back

“Yes, you’ve got two different visions of America,” said El-Sayed. “Donald Trump’s vision is the one you’re living in right now. Can you afford your gas? Can you afford your groceries?” El-Sayed said: “They are going to try to paint me as a certain thing, given my name, but I also think it’s important to recognize that America has a long history of embracing, “America is a lot bigger than very small people like Donald Trump or [Vice President] JD Vance or Mike Rogers want to make it out to be. And so I’m grateful for all that America has given me.”

Makes me think of the quote, IDK from where, "I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed."

I particularly like the greengrocer's apostrophe.

I'll take the one that uses apostrophes correctly.

Melania's dress is giving incredibly strong "==REDACTED==" vibes.

I can't tell if that's irony or trolling.

Makes me hope his entire presidency ends up ==REDACTED== out of history as we sweep the colossal embarrassment under the rug and try to get back to pretending we never had the collective lapse of common sense that comes from generations of lead-paint licking children all grown up and voting.

Redacting the bad parts out of history is exactly how you end up making the same mistakes all over again. Why do you think US conservatives don't want to have a honest discussion about the history of racism and slavery in America and are always whitewashing the past?

Fair enough. But seeing as how we seem absolutely incapable of learning from our history and half of us are deranged enough to want to repeat it... I'm not sure how preserving it is helping either other than as providing examples of what worked and what didn't to the next thugs that attempt it.

The only thing that felonious gasbag seems to value is his name. It would be grand to see it blacked out and replaced with "a particular Convicted Felon", while he still lives to see it happen.

“We Are Not Tenants”: Trump Loses His Ballroom, Invents a DronePort, and Melts

I was cautiously interested to see what they meant by "and Melts" and hoped for something like the wicked witch encountering water. Sadly, there was more to the headline that didn't show up here.

This is an interesting insight into why outgoing members of Congress still do not speak out against Trump:

Blimey! Remember last month when Trump had to switch planes on returning from the NATO conference in Ankara?

Apparently the whole thing was a decoy operation in response to credible Iranian threats to Trump's plane.

After Trump and his party had visibly boarded the old Air Force One, rather than the new Qatari one, Trump was then smuggled off the plane in a van used to deliver inflight sandwiches, and smuggled on ton Air Force Two, where he travelled with Pete Hegseth, leaving the press and the rest of his entourage to travel as decoys on the old Air Force One.

Air Force Two arrived in the UK at RAF Mildenhall about 10 minutes before the decoy and, when that arrived, Trump was smuggled back on board so he could appear and speak to reporters as if he'd been on board the whole time.

Donald Trump is a coward

This evening, at 6:53 EDT, an investigation was published that revealed the truth about a very serious situation that occurred over a month ago while Trump was flying back from Turkey. A moment so morally indefensible that the Trump administration has been deliberately hiding it from the...
