Trump's Second Term

Here's another of those... things that are unpleasant to see.

$300 million stolen from FEMA specifically for "extraordinary law enforcement personnel costs" for Trump and his potential places of residence? :talk034:

As a small aside, Democrats in the House were indeed fighting back against a lot of the horrible stuff in the bill. Here's a link to a round up of some of that.

And besides, only 30.5% of registered voters voted for the fat clown, and to me, that's a good approximation of the number of stupid people in the US,

You should also those who didn't vote among the list of stupid people. Some were Trump supporters and others were either too apathetic to stop Trump or didn't want to vote for a woman.

You can if you want to, but I'm not willing to assume that they are---at least not as stupid as those who actually voted for the fat clown and continue to support the egotistical, lying, vindictive POS.

Depends on whose environment. The billionaires' environment is the field of immunity surrounding them, keeping the riffraff at a distance and allowing them to exploit the earth. There's an agency for that.

Imagine a scorched Earth, peppered with oil wells & smoke beltching factories surrounded by shanty towns for workers, and a few miles away in the pitted, broken desert and surrounded by 20ft electrified barbed wire fences stands a perfect luxury golf resort for the billionaires. Protected.

He's really into stealth. We could pull off that invisible F-35 in the parade plan.

WTF Jake Tapper thinks this is normal Trump: “Totally stealth planes. I hope they're stealth. I don't know, the whole stealth thing—I'm sort of wondering. We shape a wing this way, they don’t see it but the other way they see it? I’m not so sure. That’s what they tell me”

Musk has an obsession with stealth planes too, part of his offspring's ridiculous name is the designation of the predecessor to the Blackbird.
