He probably wouldn’t be able to climb up onto the winners’ podium anyway.

Now I’m picturing that meme of the bronze medalist kissing the girl, biting the medal, doing the double-bird, and spraying champagne everywhere before we learn he finished in third.

Only it’s Donald Trump.

As soon as you mention Trump, that picture no longer has champagne.

Because it was rigged. Rigged so bad, the likes of which we have never seen.

Like his golf club championships, and multiple times winning Michigan Man of the Year.

An interesting article about Trump and how he will use violence to get his way:

Due to P&E being a minefield when it comes to posting humorous commentary on events surrounding the trials and investigations, I’m posting this here:

I can’t enjoy that comic when they misspell the word “ensure”.

The tiny Trump hands are a good touch though.

I noticed that. I _almost_ started an ‘Ensure vs. insure’ thread. (In my opinion, ‘ensure’ means to make sure of something; and ‘insure’ means to arrange for compensation for a loss.)

That’s your opinion as well as the actual definition of those words.

Considering the thread we’re in, I feel comfortable blaming Trump for this.

Or maybe it’s a meta commentary on how incompetent his lawyers are…

Don’t be silly, Ensure is a drink for adults that can’t manage their diets.

I thought that was Diet Coke. Well, adults and Trump.

If Trump wanted to tweet the word ‘ensure’, he’d probably use ‘insure’. So I think it’s entirely fair to blame him here.

Wait a few years after he dies.

Of course, then you’d be dealing with the next face of right wing fascism who will probably be worse.

That’s the problem—love him or hate him, he’s charismatic. He would go nuts if people went a whole month without him in the news cycle. But he gets attention. Biden in no when makes that kind of news, even though he’s a far better president. But Trump is an attention whore and always will be.
