Trump's Second Term

Mary Trump, trump's niece, and others have observed, trump has stopped coloring his hair and also stopped using his 'fake tan' facial makeup. See recent photo below:

I'm beginning to get the feeling trump is not going to last for the full four years of his presidency. That'll probably be the end of maga. It is a cult, most definitely, and there's no heir apparent. Once trump goes his sycophants will start fighting over the scraps but none of them have the draw with the magamutts the way trump does (or did).

Hope so anyway. :thumbsup:

There's a MAGA version of the US constitution now??

As a matter of fact, there is. It's the original text, the one without all those pesky, after the fact, amendments past ten. Find a Trump Bible and have a look at the Constitution that's included, it isn't the one that's currently in effect.

Former US President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary are among high-profile figures to be sent legal summonses from a congressional committee investigating the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Republican James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, issued the subpoenas to the Clintons and eight other individuals.

Do what the Repubs did: ignore them.

Breaking it down: He said she's filming a movie on Jan. 6, and said she's responsible for the security failures of Jan. 6. Which is not the same as she "ginned it up." And who would be calling it Jan. 6 *on* Jan. 6? You would just say "today."

No, her daughter did a documentary "on Jan. 6" that was released Oct. 15, 2023. On the *subject* of Jan. 6.

The way he words it ... "She was too busy filming her movie on Jan. 6 in the halls of the Capitol - that's how scared she was of everyone outside." As far as I can tell he is deliberately using "filming a movie on Jan. 6" to make it mean she was filming a movie as that day was unfolding, which I have not been able to confirm. A "truth" suppressed by the Jan. 6 committee, he complains.

It's ludicrous, and even if MAGA eats it up, his support is not all MAGA. I am almost in awe of the way people can manipulate language this way. I worked for many years as an editor, trained to look for ambiguity and clear it up. Meanwhile others have been trained to look for ambiguity and weaponize it.
 
Nancy Pelosi's daughter was present in the halls of Congress on January 6, 2021 and filmed her Mother and others being evacuated. Below is a link to a CBS News report that includes some of Alexandra Pelosi's video.

Junior will get utterly swallowed up by all the Trump-wanabees when Trump dies. The problem is as we saw in the 2024 primaries is that nobody has Trump's "it" factor where he keeps followers by being a rude, crude jerkass off a candidate. All of them try to be like him but fail is some obvious way.

Very few modern cults survive the death of the cult leader. The only exception would be Scientology but they had years of their leader being alive but in exile to set up the cult to survive him.

And the North Korean family seems to keep that cult going.
 
So the question is, how many of them will still support the outright fascism Dump stands for once he's gone.

Imagine if Biden had randomly wandered on the White House roof shouting at reporters about nuclear weapons.

I thought he had lost the ability to surprise me with how deranged he was getting. He proved me wrong.
Been a while since last time, though.
 
Donald is going to exert his powers, and FEDERALIZE Washington DC.
It will be Donald's personal city.

@realDonald Trump
Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local "youths" and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it's going to happen now! The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these "minors" as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs.
Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see. If D.C. doesn't get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore. Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime. If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

So if I understand the rational here.

Medications aren't elective spend (in general), so people (or their insurers) will have to spend more money to get their medication. So more people either going without medication, or going bankrupt or significant rises in insurance fees.

The incentive for manufacturing in the US then will be the drugs can be sold at a higher price with a greater profit if manufactured in the US than if manufactured elsewhere and imported into the US. Clearly Big Pharma will like the opportunity to raise prices and increase profits in the US. US manufaturers will have to export at a lower price with less profit to sell overseas since the prices will be lower elsewhere without the added cost of the US tariff.
