A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 3)

JB Pritzker has signed an order permanently banning 1/6 traitors from working for the state of Illinois in any capacity.

Good for him. I hope other governors do the same, if possible.

Good job, Guv! But next time, try not to sound like you’re writing a sequel to Demolition Man. (“These crimes attacks threatened public safety[…].”)

The smart money says Trump will threaten to withhold federal funds until the governor’s order is rescinded.

Oh, I expect the Orange Menace will withhold funds from every blue state whose governor doesn’t bend the knee to his every whim.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. As a native Southern Californian, I think California should withhold all of the funds it’s sending to red states, and keep it to rebuild after the fires… Unless the federal government honours their commitment to provide the funds. California is big enough to tell Trump to FOaDIAF.

And can provide the fire, which is only polite.

I keep hearing this proposal. Could somebody explain how this would work? Income tax withholding and tax payments go directly from taxpayers to the federal government, they do no pass Go at any state government office. Just what is California suppose to seize?

They can figure out a way. The government of California is much smarter than the Mango Mussolini. If he can do it, California can do it in spades.

According to Trump, Newsom can just order it to happen. (shrug)

Then he should. Truck Fump.

Oooh! Ooooh! I’ve got a truck!

It took me a moment, even after reading your post, to realize what IAF means here. And, just for fun, tell him you’re putting out the fire by spraying water from the hose away from him, not on him.

When the cravenly compliant court kowtowed to the corrupt king, the first thing that came to my mind was: So, doesn’t this mean that the governors of every state are equally protected as the president for acts in office?

No, because they’re not the Most Special Boy.

Fuck-ing eh

We’ll get by quite fine w/o yankee booze, beer, or wine, thanks.

Goddam especially that second thing. :nauseated_face:

ETA: annoying lack of preview. Oh well.

Canada should stop exporting electricity to the United States. On Super Bowl Sunday.

Yes! C’mon Justin, you know you want to.

I’m a patriotic American yet feel absolutely no sense of irony in saying fuck America, you go Canada.

Do what you have to do, Canada, and please forgive us for our orange idiot of a President.

I like that idea. Hit MAGA where it hertz.

OJ ain’t leaping over suitcases anymore. :sunglasses:
