Trump's Second Term

[The Great Zaganza]

We will see if "it's the economy, stupid" only applies to Democrats.

Typical Trump SOP from time immemorial. It's how his businesses have always operated. And now the USA is "one of Trump's businesses" because he's put new, fresh businessman ideas in the White House.

I don't know if that mode of operation - hiding transactions and laundering money - is legal for US businesses or not. I suspect it is definitely not. But I am almost 100%, nay 600% certain it is vastly illegal for US governments.

So I asked Google AI: "Is international money laundering a criminal offence in the USA?" Lo and behold, and with no surprise whatever, here's the answer:



So it's a criminal offence. And if Trump has facilitated this, he needs to be criminally charged. He already has 34 convictions for cooking the books. So this time round he should attract the fullest penalty: 20 years imprisonment PLUS a financial penalty of double whatever he scammed out of Venezuela. That should be dozens if not hundreds of billions of dollars.

Seems like a gold-plated, home-and-hosed, slam-dunk for any Democrat-led House to impeach the crook the moment they can. Let's hope they do, first opportunity.

Not such an easy case, he'll plead immunity as per the Supreme Court ruling about his immunity when he's acting as president, or some such rot.

Yeah, that would be great. Except he abolished the penny.

(Perhaps that irony was intentional.)

Of course it does. Because everything that's wrong with the economy, as well as the Republicans' incapacity to remedy it, is Biden's/the Democrats' fault.

He'll give everyone else a blanket pardon before the end of his term.

It's £1.99 a litre in the UK, which is not much more expensive (just over $10 per US gallon).

And of course we have a lot of tax baked into that price. Fifty-something pence in fuel duty and 20% VAT on top.

Probably been said before, but Trump's proposed space force uniforms are self-admittedly based on the Starship Troopers movie. 'Cause, you know, it's perfectly normal to base your uniform on a parody of fascism

Trump keeps reminding everyone that the US can produce it's own petrol. He doesn't seem to know that the stuff that's good for petrol isn't that good for diesel.

Hegseth could redesign the army's uniforms based on The Great Dictator. Jodphurs, brown shirts and the double-X cap badge. Very chic.

And he crows about how much of its domestic production the US is now exporting. Okay for oil companies but reducing supply drives prices up for domestic consumers.

They will publish all of the evidence after the midterms.

At this point, sheer repetition of the claim has so baked it into the GOP's DNA that even the concept of "evidence" no longer applies- it's not a claim needing any such a silly thing, it's part of their governing philosophy. "Smaller government, lower taxes, preventing electoral fraud by the Dems"- these are inarguable goals that carry their own weight, and anything that needs to be done to achieve them is fair game.

Carney mocks trump again to much laughter. I have to admit, I'm enjoying this. At least Carney has a sense of humor and some timing. When trump tries to be funny it only highlights what a jackass he is.

Triumphal Sniper Arch - With Drones!

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump

At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage.
There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

President DONALD J. TRUMP

I was coming here to post the same thing. I'm assuming it's an attempt to circumvent construction approval requirements just like the ballroom, but sniper nests in the middle of the city?!?

Unfortunately, the United States Supreme Court has lacked the Courage to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
Over the last 6 months, with their faulty, political, and ridiculous decisions on TARIFFS and Birthright Citizenship, they have cost the United States of America Trillions of Dollars, and forever damaged the way people become Citizens of our great Country.
It has been a sad chapter in the life and times of America, but we will prevail!

And that's the entire point. The oligarchs must benefit, it's the only purpose for anything now.

Those are so they can shoot the people who protest Trump's upcoming theft of the 2026 midterm elections.

Sure he did Gramps, sure he did.

Russia, Russia, Russia . . . fully up your and your family's ass, and one sweet day, it's all going to come out.


*Yeah, how hard would it be for the most powerfull person in the world to fake up such evidence?
