If, through some twisted perversity of the Universe, Trump gets elected, what would happen if he is then sentenced to prison for a term of at least three months? Could he be given a day pass to attend his inauguration?
You… can be a millionaire… and never pay taxes!
You can be a millionaire… and never pay taxes!
You say… “Steve… how can I be a millionaire… and never pay taxes?”
First… get a million dollars.
Now… you say, “Steve… what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, ‘You… have never paid taxes’?”
Five simple words. Five simple words in the English language: “I am running for President!”
How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don’t say “I am running for President!”?
Very well said.
It does work infuriatingly well for him.
Well, I guess we now know that Trump has recently been in touch with Russian operatives, since he railed in favor of the poor, poor Russians who have been indicted for running an illegal foreign influence campaign.
Trump insisted, “I haven’t spoken to anybody from Russia in years!”
Which pretty much means that he’s been speaking to folks in Russia in the past week.
And in other Trump idiocy, while continuing to defame Jean Carroll (next lawsuit to follow), he came up with a sad defense of another sexual assault he committed:
“There were two witnesses. One is a woman who followed me for years,” Trump said, referring to Jessica Leeds, a woman who accuses Trump of groping her when they were seated next to each other on an airplane. “We became very intimate. I was famous then too. I’ve been famous for a long time."
It seems to me that he’s basically saying “sure I groped her, but I was famous at the time, so that’s OK.”
Pretty much repeating his “grab them by the pussy” excuse.
He managed to make it possible that he can never ever ever ever play this song again in public while trying to get elected…
Some people say its been happening for millions of years.
“She had tears in her eyes and said, no ones ever groped me so well before.”
That does sound WAY better.
The best part of the clip is this admission:
“Think of the impracticality of this. I’m famous, I’m on a plane, people are coming in and I’m looking at a woman and just start kissing her and making out with her. What are the chances of that happening?”
Well, Donnie, it seems like a pretty good chance since that is exactly what you do according to your own words:
“I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet.”
Yeah, we hear you. “Never happened”. Right.
I think the best part of his little rant was when he attempted to insult Jessica Leeds by saying he wouldn’t have chosen her as his assault victim, saying “She wasn’t the chosen one.”, which makes me wonder whose pussy he selected for grabbing that day.
“She’s not the type of woman I would normally sexually assault” is a fun take, to be sure.
“The chosen one” is odd phrasing. Very odd and weird phrasing.
That’s true, but think about what Trump was trying to accomplish. He wanted to signal to all the bros that he is Jack the Lad—the guy who gets all kinds of sexual favors all the time, even if the woman involved is unwilling. But at the SAME time he’s trying to avoid admitting that he regularly grabs women against their will (or did so regularly back in the day, anyway).
So he inadvertently comes up with a phrase that has wildly-inappropriate religious overtones. Because he’s a mentally-diminished idiot with severe limits on his ability to craft understandable language.
And I remember a lot of Republicans mocking Obama as “the chosen one” of Dems in 2008!
It makes me mad that Trump thinks US presidents imprison unscrupulous election opposition. He can get rogered roundly.
And he’s now whining about the 25th Amendment to the very document he wants terminated. (The link goes to Yahoo.)
Former President Donald Trump on Saturday called for “modifying” the 25th Amendment to allow for the removal of a vice president who “lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president,” a political nonstarter and the latest escalation of his attacks on President Joe Biden and the change atop the Democratic ticket.
It’s so unfair that he want it expanded to include a method to remove a vice president from office. Hasn’t any of his “crack” legal team told him the constitution doesn’t say one thing about how political parties choose their candidates?
The eyes of his legal team are no doubt filled with tears, but for reasons very different from what Trump typically asserts.
