It may not directly kill them, but, much like my understanding of how HPV kills, it makes them susceptible to things like COVID. ---

Schadenfreude for Trump’s enablers, where ‘enablers’ means people who are likely to vote for him. > **[Trump Promised ‘Food For Everybody’ At Miami Restaurant And Then Reportedly...](https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-promised-food-everybody-miami-175212403.html)** > > The Miami New Times said a “knowledgeable source” claimed the former president left Versailles in Little Havana before anyone could order anything. > [H]e [went to a Cuban restaurant](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-journalist-ejected-question_n_64895a6de4b025003ee0e76c) in Little Havana to greet a crowd happy to see him. > > The crowd was probably happier when Trump told them, [“Food for everyone.”](https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4048239-trump-stops-at-popular-cuban-restaurant-after-pleading-not-guilty-food-for-everyone/) > > Although most people would consider yelling “food for everyone” as a tacit promise that the person yelling those three words is taking care of the bill, there is a difference between promising to pay for something and actually doing that. Trump was only in the restaurant 10 minutes and ate no food there, and ate McDonald’s on his plane. ---

I don’t remember seeing this posted here but the day after he was indicted, Trump truthed this: [Trump: ‘America Went to Sleep Last Night With Tears in its Eyes’ - The Messenger](https://themessenger.com/politics/trump-america-went-to-sleep-last-night-with-tears-in-its-eyes) Which might be true but most of those were tears of joy. He really has a thing about people crying. ---

Now that the latest indictment has been issued–apparantly tailored just for its main subject, with pictures!–why isn’t anyone talking about the hoarding, not just of classified documents, but of anything, Tan the Conman is doing. This is beyond the scope of just legal issues now. ---

For better or worse I seem to have an unusual proficiency in Trump-speak and I am pretty sure mutants is Trump’s code for trans people. (On a semi-related note, wasn’t it noted in the E. Jean Carroll case that Trump got her into the change room by promising that he would try on lingerie with her? And then he proceeded to do the thing that conservatives think trans people like to do in spaces like this… so is Trump actually the conservative stereotype of a trans person?) ---

> [@Moriarty](#): > > the next time a trumper taunts you with talk of Biden being senile, you can remind them that he has donald under indictment, something _donald couldn’t do_ to Hillary in 4 years as president. Except Biden hasn’t got Trump under indictment, the Dept of Justice has (and the NY court system). Biden has stayed hands off and remarkably comment-free about it. Unlike someone else we could mention.
