> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > It turns out that Vietnam Vets do not appreciate it when you try to rename a highway named for their fallen comrades. I’m moderately opposed to the naming of things as “Vietnam Veteran’s X”, but violently opposed to naming any thing after Mr Kirk, so this is a win (even though they are apparently still going to find some piece of asphalt to name for him). ---

> [@bobot](#): > > I don’t know, why arrest them if there are no plans to extradite? Were they charged with anything in Miami? Two possibilities 1. ~~Loyal American~~ Deep state FBI agents acted on the extradition request before Trump got wind of it to put the kabaosh on it. 2. By arresting them, Trump can put the screws on them and wheedle out some extra bribes before denying their extradition. ---

Freedom Gas, some more background. Court finally caught up for a crime in 2021. Clog the courts is the objective. You know those Freedom Fuel stations Trump was going on about? Yeah, it’s a bit shady… > _In February, a federal judge in New Jersey ordered the Kazmis to pay over $600,000 to a fuel supplier that accused the brothers of stealing gas. The supplier alleged in court filings that it cut the brothers off after they refused to sign a new contract. But the Kazmis exploited a security lapse and gained access to the supplier’s fuel depot. Over a ten-day period in August 2021, tanker trucks absconded with more than 230,000 gallons of fuel, according to the supplier’s court filings. A judge ruled in the supplier’s favor, finding the brothers unlawfully took the gas._ > **[The men behind Trump's $3.47 gas: An NFL coach, a GOP fundraiser and two New...](https://apnews.com/article/freedom-fuel-gas-prices-trump-nfl-kicking-coach-4fc52c7ad19bf29790cf618176839447)** > > President Donald Trump and his White House have enthusiastically promoted the Freedom Fuel Network, a chain of star-spangled gas stations. ---

So great seeing Trump bomb while trying to deliver written jokes. From the clips I’ve seen (Jon Stewart), he seriously bombed. Take this example of what Trump said was the best joke. His deliver is so freaking weird. His super weird fake laughing is surreal. > [@](#): > > You know what the _heh heh_ ya know > In other words _ha ha_ [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/4JL8wDEKOQ4/maxresdefault.jpg "Trump's sex joke falls flat at White House press dinner") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JL8wDEKOQ4) ---

> [@Toxylon](#): > > the whole joke is that the dear ol’ hubby can do just one of two things; go upstairs, or have sex. He doesn’t have the stamina to do both. And he started with talking about term limits. The hubby was a senator so the underlying joke was supposed to be that senators in this country are too damn old.
