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

He can not speak at all and still manage to say something stupid.

That’s Hilarious! :laughing:

Flipside: I wonder how many people are gonna say “Well, I was considering applying with the FBI…”

"Just don’t look, just don’t look!":musical_note::musical_note:

If Trump makes a statement and there’s no media microphones picking it up, is it still a lie?

Does the Pope shit in the Woods?

Does The Donald shit in his pants?

Yes, yes, and yes.

“Most people don’t know that the Pope does indeed …”

I’m not even going to bother. It’ll be made-up Trumpian bullshit, soon to be true. This guy is more predictable than a set of loaded dice or a deck of marked cards.

With CNN, Fox News and others out of the White House, I thought I would share who is on the approved list.

Also, Dumbshit Donny (who knew there was a B in his name) thinks his banning of CNN at the WH means they can’t ever cover him.

And how did that work out for you?

This is some bitter karma. Setting aside the idiocy of believing anything Trump said in 2024, the GOP have been openly gunning for the LGBTQ+ community since forever.

She may not have voted for the murder of her daughter but she certainly voted for her persecution.

Daily Kos’ take on this:

Here he is whining about it to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “It’s an honor to be here. I’m surprised that CNN is here covering me. You shouldn’t be here, you should not—you should not be here covering me, you said you weren’t going to cover me. You shouldn’t be covering me.”

God, you can practically hear the whining toddler wheeze jumping right off the page: YOU SAID YOU WOULDN’T COVER ME! YOU SAID!

Of course, even if it were totes cool and legal to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from covering the White House, that would only apply to the White House. Trump’s little fit of pique doesn’t require all other locations to honor his stupidity and protect his glass-frail ego.
But that’s exactly what he seems to think should happen. He seems entirely mystified and enraged that CNN would be there via a credential issued by the UN. Yes, Donald, the UN is an entirely separate body that is in no way obligated to honor your ban and is able to issue whatever press credentials it wants to whoever it wants. Do try to keep up.

L’État, c’est moi

James McCrery II, the first architect assigned to work on Donald Trump’s White House ballroom, resigned last year after the president consistently ignored his warnings that the preliminary design he favored ran afoul of fire and safety codes, according to The Washington Post.

Trump seemed uninterested in McCrery’s advice, reportedly claiming building codes did not apply to White House construction.

“I am the code,” the president said, according to the Post.

Not that I’d expect it to happen* but I really hope whatever journalists get hired for Trump TV also refuse to cover him out of solidarity.

*I wouldn’t have expected Fox News to walk out either, but here we are. And, regarding Fox News walking out, I’m curious if they’re doing it out of some sort of journalistic integrity or because someone realized that if Trump is allowed to pick and choose who can be there, a future (or even current, I suppose) president might toss them out some day.

I think self-interest is part of it for all media outlets refusing to cover the White House. Fox in particular should know by now Trump is not their friend. No matter how hard they kiss his ass he rips into them whenever they say something he doesn’t like.

There’s also all those pesky lawsuits they get hit with. They have to put on a, if not credible, then at least not explicitly biased mask of journalistic integrity

Now there’s a fantasy. A fire mysteriously breaks out and a thousand administration staffers, tech-bros, and assorted MAGAts can’t escape because the exits are jammed.

Former Maine governor Paul “Smoothie and Shifty and D-Money are coming to impregnate your white daughters” LePage reports that the leopards have eaten his son’s father-in-law’s face.

Honestly this one is like a level-up prize for the leopards.

(Trump as quoted by Daily Kos, linked above.)

That “you SAID you weren’t going to cover me” seems to indicate a belief by Trump that Collins and/or CNN had Taken A Pledge not to cover him (and now they’ve broken that pledge!!!1!!!)

His brain is holey.

On the schadenfreude side: Congressional Republicans who need votes in November seem to be running away from this ‘Donald Discards the First Amendment’ issue just as fast as they’re running away from everything else about him.

Poor babies! Their legs must be so tired…
