Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 28

[Warp12]

Oh, now Trump's a Ninth Degree Taekwondo Black Belt.

(Granted, it's the Daily Mail, but it's the longest article I found, and backed up by other sources.)

The former president vowed that he would look to wear the taekwondo clothing in Congress should he make a return to the White House in the future

That would be amazingly ridiculous...and awesome.

 

[Armitage72]

Yes but it's an "honorary" black belt. From the Daily Mail article:

Pay-per-view? trump 'fighting' a legitimate taekwondo fighter. I'd pay to see that!

I'm sure he would pay his opponent to throw the fight and fall down after anything that looked like it came close to making contact.
Correction. He would promise to pay his opponent. It's questionable if he would ever actually pay, based on his history.

Ha, his hands look like he's still pretending to drive that truck. While Lee Dong-seop looks like he could almost be in a back stance, trump looks like he's in a leaning tower of Pisa (or in his case, pizza) stance.

ETA: and what is this "give him a taekwondo" nonsense. The proper name for a taekwondo uniform is a Dobok. I got 2 second place trophies (white belt) in the 1980 Don Bosco tournament.

Oh, now Trump's a Ninth Degree Taekwondo Black Belt.

My 12-year-old with his yellow belt would kick the fat prick's ass. I'm impressed they found a dobok that would fit him.

It's no surprise the outfit conferring the award was formerly known as the World Taekwondo Federation, or WTF.

Excellent picture of Trump standing with a group of little men with tiny hands, and his are by far the smallest.

 

[JoeMorgue]

Oh yeah? Raise your hand if you've been in the main event at Wrestlemania?

That's what I thought you librul weenies LOL are you triggered I'm in your head rent free.

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Clearly, it was her fault, though? She didn't actively work to involve herself and break the law to give him what he wanted, unlike other Republican stooges.

“What the hell good is being in power if you don’t exert it?” - Donald Trump, probably almost definitely

 

[newyorkguy]

trump versus any legitimate Black Belt immediately made me think of Andy Kaufman versus a professional wrestler named Jerry Lawler. That didn't turn out too well.

For Andy.

Actually, it's worse:

SCARBOROUGH: I have to follow up with that, I’ll be careful here. Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump, and three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked, at one point, “If we have them, why can’t we use them?”

I wonder why people waste their time with 'honorary' awards like this or college degrees. They mean absolutely nothing.

As funny as seeing Trump dressed in a Dobok is, this fake Mt. Rushmore with his face added is what really says so much about how he sees himself:

Judge says that Al Gore is a better man than you, Cheeto Don:

NEW: At a hearing for a Capitol rioter defendant, a federal judge took aim at Trump for lying about voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election, saying that Al Gore had a better standing to challenge the 2000 election results but that he was “a man” and walked away.

This thread is like a goldmine of comic relief.

It's about Donald Trump. How could it not be.

 

[CapelDodger]

This thread is like a goldmine of comic relief.

You apparently do not understand the verb "advocate". If you don't wish to accentuate your ignorance and shallow mind I suggest you stick to a Trumpian vocabulary of short simple words, such as "big", "fat" and "fraud", and leave longer, Latinate words to those of us who learnt some Latin at school (however reluctantly). Of course, if you actually want to come across as an ill-educated and simple-minded "everyman", carry on : you're doing a great job.

Mussolini was not executed in public. He was shot beside the road against the garden wall of a small hotel in northern Italy, whence he had fled a few days earlier. It was done early in the morning in a completely private "ceremony" attended by only a handful of people, primarily Italian patriot fighters who found and captured him.

He was, literally, summarily executed by antifa.

The public display of his corpse was after he and Petacci were dead. Many Italians, "his people", came to ensure it was true he was dead, and to celebrate that fact. Clearly the previous "love" for "their favourite president" was gone.

Moscow Mitch would be perfect for the Petacci role as leader's whore.

 

[Norman Alexander]

He was, literally, summarily executed by antifa.

His assassin was a communist, so that does put him in the broad category of being "anti-fascist", I suppose. But equivalent to "antifa", probably not.

The Italian communist partisans were armed, organised and funded, had headquarters and a command structure, ties to the USSR, and a specific mission to bring communism to Italy (and to other regional countries). This was by force if necessary.

Modern "antifa" is none of that. It is just "against fascism", primarily in the USA, and not "for" anything else in particular. It's like being "against" COVID does not make you "for" gonorrhea or smallpox.

And I was incorrect about the time of day Benito and Clara were executed. Apparently it was afternoon, not morning. Mea culpa.

Given the abuse of her corpse, now I have to go brush my brain.

Way to kill a great line, Norman!

Oh, I know. Just that our resident right-wing chain-yankers like to use "antifa" as a nasty catch-all smear for anyone who opposes their stinky orange god.

Would I like to see Donny dead? Nope. He just needs to be gone forever. To a squalid and cold little Soviet-style concrete apartment in the filthier outskirts of Moscow would suit me. I'm sure Pootie could scrape together some spare pocket-change to put him up.

Let me put it this way: when Donnie does kick off, I won't be shedding any tears.

I've tried to restrain myself from celebrating the deaths even of the most odious, and have not, as I recall, actively clapped since Cardinal Spellman died. Nor have I followed in my mother's footsteps: long ago she practiced her pistol marksmanship with a picture of Joe McCarthy, and though I don't recall more than the clinking of glasses when he died, there certainly were no tears. I now own the pistol, but have refrained from hunting down new magazine covers.

However, there are a few people nowadays for whose deaths I might be tempted to stoop to unseemly mirth.
