Trump's Second Term

[Blue Mountain]

Luxury! We had to suck it from a piece of damp cloth.

You ’ad it easy! I was strapped down to a table and a big guy ’eld me tongue with forceps while the nurse used a branding iron!

But any warnings people made about what would happen if he got in a second time was just fear mongering.

I confess to downplaying how bad he was going to be, but I admitted that long ago.

I truly see no guardrails around him at all. If he decides to cancel the election result, even a SCOTUS ruling won't matter. Who's going to enforce their decision?

He can try to cancel the election but he won't succeed. People won't stand for it and the military's not gonna back him. There'll probably just be a lot of whining and lawsuits while the Democratic majority gets seated. Then they can move on to impeachment.

I hope you are right.

Those who believe in the myth of the founding fathers as the source of US greatness will point out they did not believe that the POTUS should be appointed by a popular vote, but by a select group of white men appointed to represent the states. Nor did they believe in term limits. It is the corrupt Cuban Communists who have sought to weaken the US by introducing these things. I am sure the current supreme court can go back to the constitution and interpret as it was meant to be.

Oh, the humanity!

To be fair, that is actually a slightly beneficial change he's proposing. And I would far prefer him to concentrate on things like that

ICE plans to give officers gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks

Civil rights advocates expressed alarm, saying ICE officers already face criticism for their use of force with little oversight or accountability while enforcing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

I can can imagine that there could be quite a few self inflicted shocks with that.

I hope at least each agent is required to get shocked by it during their training so they know how powerful it is.

Daily weapon checking...on themselves.

Just have one of them hold the plumbing pipes outside...

Strangely, the sun doesn't follow your EO's, Donny. The days will get shorter in winter regardless.

The next step is universal Trump time, which will be based on Trump's watch.*

*Which is not a Trump watch

It will be based on Shanghai time. And Donny will wonder why the sun hasn't cooperated.

Trump can't tell the time. Every time period to him is two weeks.

You are not responsible for this, Congress is. All you'll be doing is signing it. There isn't anything this guy wouldn't steal credit for.

For many years, the vast Majority of Americans have asked to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, but no Administration has been able to get it properly done, until now. I am proud to announce that the House of Representatives has passed the Bill, and it has now gone to the Senate for final approval. People are sick and tired of having to change their clocks twice a year. It is foolish, inconvenient and, in some cases, very costly. For Cities and States with Watchtowers, and hard to reach places, it costs Millions of Dollars. A recent case was made that it is also bad for your health in the anxiety it creates. Leading Medical, Crime, and Economic Studies have shown that ceasing the biannual time change, giving us one extra hour of natural sunlight in the evenings, will help Decrease Robbery and Murder Rates, Reduce Car Accidents (especially those involving Pedestrians!), Lower Risk for Cardiac Issues, Stroke, and Seasonal Depression, Make It Safer for Children to Walk Home from School, Increase Time with your Family, Strongly Support Extracurricular Activities, Be a Big Boost to Sports, Fitness, Tourism, Retail, and the Restaurant Industries (and more!), and Save Money on Energy Bills, because everyone will be enjoying an EXTRA HOUR OF DAYLIGHT. In other words, leave it as it is now, and never change again. This is an issue that Republicans, Dumocrats, and Independents can unite behind. I am asking Republican Senators to PASS THE SUNSHINE PROTECTION ACT, ASAP. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Just accept that Trump is embracing solar!
Next, he'll tell you that sailboats should use wind instead of batteries.

Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!

Putting him on a plane more likely to be a target is a bit of a stretch.

Actually, that trip on the elevator from the plane down to the catering truck may have been the most dangerous part of it all.
I have it from reliable sources, that's where the ت اطّلاعات جمهوری اسلامی ایران will usually get you!

Retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral and former White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby joins MS NOW’s Jen Psaki to discuss Donald Trump’s claims that the United States has “complete control” over the Strait of Hormuz and new reporting for The Washington Post that the CIA questioned the credibility of Israeli intelligence about an Iranian threat to Trump that ultimately led to Trump’s secret flight out of Turkey last month.

I got the Salk vaccine pretty early in its career, because polio was a big deal then. I recall when the circus came to town in 1954, and there was no way we'd ever be allowed to attend, because circuses were a known vector for polio. I got the vaccine as soon as it became available. Later the same with the Sabin. I think it was 1960 or 61, and as soon as it was available, I got it. My recollection is that it was a two dose affair, with a sugar cube each time. ABout the only things I've not been vaccinated for are measles and chicken pox, because I got those when little, before there were vaccines. Had there been, I'd surely have gotten them, especially as I'm told the fever from the measles was high enough for delirium. But when there was a vaccine for anything, I likely got it, and still do. I am happy to be RFK's nightmare, as full of death as a drugstore.

Actually known or just a myth?

Me: "Circuses vector for polio?"
Google: "It appears "circuses" may be a typo or autocorrect error."
Then tells me about actual vectors.

I think it may be a case of (occasional) correlation.

Can you image how hard it is for his staffers to explain DST to him twice a year!?

Why don't they just make Air Force One out of ballroom?
