Kirk maroons Trump and his retinue on Ceti Alpha V: no courts, no press pool, no institutions, no allies, no wallpapered grievance machine.

Trump surveys the desert.

And makes a big tantrum …

Trump and his court beeing marooned on some desert island is one of my favorite fantasy. Who of Trump and Vance will be eaten first, and by Miller, Vought, or Hegseth ?

Trump, he doesn't exercise so he'll be soft and tender, like veal.

Yeah, but meat is muscle. Trump has a body fat of 11,000%, there's nothing on there to eat. I know what you're thinking: fry up the skin into crispy strips. But with all that chemical bronzer that soaked in during his 98 years the skin is undoubtedly carcinogenous and likely tastes foul no matter how it's prepared. I fear Trump is the seawater of cannibalism: costs more energy to consume than is provided by doing so. He's a net loss in so many, many metrics.

Render his fat down to soap and you might have enough to remove the stains he's left on the country.

 

[The Atheist]

People with a brain are laughing at those posts.

The remainder, who vote Republican, are seething at the death threats against Trump.

Reflecting Pool Dead Duck Found Floating in Water ... After Hydrogen Peroxide Treatment

A dead duck was found floating in the Reflecting Pool Sunday ... days after workers were seen dumping hydrogen peroxide into the water.

Rob Crilly -- a political journalist who previously covered the White House for the Washington Examiner -- shared two photos of the deceased animal to his X account on Sunday.

Warning ... the photos are graphic -- capturing the duck, eye still open, floating around against the walls of the pool.

Crilly says he's spoken to an expert who says the pool "could have signs of cyanobacteria." Cyanobacteria is a blue-green algae that is harmless in small quantities ... but can be toxic to animals in "blooms" when the bacteria multiply rapidly.

So, um, I guess it's going well, right?

Fed-up Trump threatens to ‘blow the s–t’ out of Iran — prompting Tehran to storm out of US peace talks

Fed-up Trump threatens to ‘blow the s–t’ out of Iran — prompting Tehran to storm out of US peace talks​

Iranian negotiators stormed out of the high-level peace talks with the US in Switzerland on Sunday after a frustrated President Trump unleashed his fury on the regime — threatening to seize the Strait of Hormuz and “blow the s–t out of them.”

The talks were abandoned after just 80 minutes when the discussions entered a “difficult phase” following “an insulting message by the US president,” Iran’s state news agency reported.

Vice President JD Vance, who was spearheading the negotiations, had earlier said the US hoped to “turn over a new leaf” with the Islamic Republic.

The talks in the Qatari-owned mountaintop resort of Buergenstock in Switzerland were the first to be held under the terms ‌of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreed a week ago.

But hopes of progress were swiftly dashed, and the diplomatic efforts were cut off when Trump, who had been criticized for being too soft on the regime with the MOU, warned that the US would hammer Iran if it didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz and rein in its terrorist proxies.

I mean, they were only off by 5000%!

Viewership for Trump’s UFC fights 117m short of seismic prediction

Viewership for President Donald Trump’s birthday “UFC Freedom 250” event at the White House was 117 million short of the seismic prediction made by Dana White.

White, UFC’s president, had bullishly predicted “Super Bowl-type numbers” for the fight, streamed live on Paramount+, but figures showed the spectacle averaged 8.2 million viewers—way off the 124.9 million average who tuned in for February’s Super Bowl LX on NBC.

Florida State Sen. Joe Gruters, chair of the Republican National Committee, also falsely claimed that more people tuned in to watch the Trump event than the Super Bowl.

“Joe Gruters was only off by 117.4 million,” quipped NBC Sports’ Mike Florio.

Google AI claimed Vance had skills and acomplishements. I pushed on this and it backed down, giving one link.

If your definition of a political accomplishment is an official who successfully authors and passes original, standalone bipartisan laws, Vance's political career has been too short and too deeply rooted in executive enforcement and party polarization to fit that mold. His accomplishments are instead measured by wielding executive party power to push through a pre-existing agenda. [1, 2, 3]

This was where he was involved in some maneuvering:

He doesn't know what the ◊◊◊◊ he is doing.

 

[TragicMonkey]

He doesn't know what the ◊◊◊◊ he is doing.

He thinks all situations as president can be handled the same way he ran his businesses (and "businesses"): shouting and bullying until he gets his way.

1) TACO knows he's too cowardly to not do what he's told and
2) TACO can use him as a scapegoat for the blowback when the awful deal is eventually reached.

Work will begin immediately on fixing the seriously vandalized Reflecting Pool. I just inspected it, and could only say to myself, and those gathered around me, WOW, who would do such a thing? SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE! We will fix it? President DJT

Dementia again, he's forgotten he was responsible for it.

I do enjoy the question mark after "We will fix it?"

Somewbody else had the refrain "*** will fix it." Too bad he isn't around. He would have felt very much at home in Trump's circle.

He must be really pissed off with Vance!
