What is he, alternating red and blue ties?
At least we know he’s not taking performance enhancing drugs.
well, at least not today …
That’s because it isn’t actually Trump – it’s a false flag body double installed by QAnon to make Trump look bad – we all know that it’s actually Biden who needs naps.
Getting ‘Flock of Seagulls’ vibes from that depiction of his hair. This is probably what his elaborate combover looks like when he first wakes up after a long nap or full night’s sleep.
A long while back I tried to make an AI image of a flock of seagulls with Donald Trump hair. You know, the “mine” “mine” “mine” thing from Finding Nemo.
There were unexpected consequences…
Wow, there’s an image to haunt one’s nightmares
This is great:
While no jurors were selected on Monday — with dozens excused after indicating they could not be fair and impartial in weighing the 34 felony charges against Trump — seven made the cut on Tuesday. (The court will need 18 people to qualify in all: 12 jurors and six alternates.) However, more were dismissed after questions arose about content they had shared on social media that disparaged the former president, and Trump himself was not spared from hearing what they had posted.
One potential juror ruled out on Tuesday was a man who recently shared an AI-generated video of Trump saying “I’m dumb as fuck,” according to reporter Josh Kovensky of Talking Points Memo. The man had evidently tried to conceal his opinion of Trump during earlier questioning, per The New York Times, and protested that the video was only something he “reposted,” but Judge Juan Merchan dismissed him.
At another point, tweeted Tyler McBrien of Lawfare, the judge read a meme into the record that seemingly disqualified the would-be juror who shared it. The joke referenced the Thai youth soccer team dramatically rescued after they were trapped in a flooded cave system for more than two weeks in the summer of 2018, when Trump was still in office: “Trump invites the Thai boys to the White House, and the boys request to return to their cave.”
Paywalled.
That’s horrific.
I think I am not alone in saying that watching Donald Trump be forced to sit still and be quiet while my SDMB posts pertaining to him are read aloud would be one of the high points of my life.
Link works for me. I’ll post another highlight:
He (Trump’s lawyer – TF) even went so far as to bring up a meme posted eight years ago by the husband of a potential juror, which depicted former President Barack Obama next to Trump, with the caption: “I don’t think this is what they meant by Orange is the new Black.”
Merchan apologized if anyone in court was offended by the joke but seemed disinclined to consider the social media habits of jurors’ family members. Nevertheless, as several journalists noted, Trump could be seen studying a printout of the meme. “He does not look amused at all,” the Times reported.
It’s a crime family.
“Beginning tomorrow, we ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trump’s name, image, and likeness split a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC. This includes but is not limited to sending to the house file, prospecting vendors, and advertising,” Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita wrote in the letter, which is dated April 15.
They add: “Any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump’s campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”

It would be shame if Don Snoreleoni said your candidate was a loser…
So, they’re implying that Trump might deign to glance at a piece of paper with your name on it, but won’t go quite so far as to actually promise even that scrap of indulgence.
Nice.
Trump should recognize that excuse. He used it during the Carroll trial. “I didn’t say it, I just reposted what someone else said”.
“That bastard stole my excuse! I’m going to get him!” is the more likely response.
5% gets you not put on the bad list.
10% gets you put on the good list.
20% gets you a MAGA hat.
30% gets you a MAGA hat signed by Trump (actually a staffer pretending to be Trump)
40% lets you send in a photo to which a staffer will photoshop to include Trump giving you a thumbs up.
50+% will have your name included in Truth post in which Trump will say you are a good guy. If you win Trump will claim your victory as his own, if you lose he will pretend he never heard of you.
Honestly this is probably a good thing. The more money that goes away from electing Republicans and instead into the pockets of Carroll and the New York State general fund the better.
My favorite quote from the Politico link… IOW, Don’t be scamming our scammees!
It is important to protect small dollar donors from scammers that use the president’s name and likeness.
Man, they’re not even bothering to pretend that winning elections matters more to them than lining their pockets does!
