Came (late) to say the much repeated obvious: Any question about someone else ends with a comparative answer about him. Classic narcissism. How did we not hear from Twitter that he remains the fittest president ever and his tales about passing the cognitive test before that moment? He never took that test. That he remembered to mention that he “aced” it is a win for him. The doc surely does re-balance his steroids and whatever else he’s taking on a daily basis. Did his height get bumped up to whatever puts his just under obese again? I suppose if he was ever 6’2" they have to knock 40 pounds off to keep it that way, unless now he’s 6’4" I don’t think Biden will expressly exclude Trump from attending his funeral, yet I really hope when it happens Trump is having holiday in Best Korea with his buddy there. ---

The scariest provision of the bill is barely budget related. It prohibits the government from using public funds to enforce a criminal contempt of court citation, unless the entity that’s suing the government post a large bond. > **['Hidden' provision in Trump's big bill could disarm US Supreme Court](https://www.newsweek.com/hidden-provision-trump-bill-court-2075769)** > > The provision would bar courts from enforcing contempt citations for violations of injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless a bond has been paid. I’m not sure how that last part would work, but it seems to pa e the way for allowing Trump to completely ignore the courts. ---

Very troubling. I suppose Federal judges could just start routinely requiring parties in such cases to post a de minimus bond - mebbe a hundred bucks? And I see from the closeup of the Trump country club dinner plate that he’s still using a coat of arms that isn’t his: [Right to bear arms?

If a judge enjoins the provision requiring a bond to enforce injunctions, does the plaintiff have to post a bond to support the injunction, or will R heads merely asplode? ---

Trump gave a commencement address at West Point while wearing his fucking MAGA hat. Of course he babbled nonsensically off script. That’s what he does. ---

They think the actor who played a rich and successful business man on TV actually is that. ^ This is a thing of beauty.

Surely he or his son-in-law are “in the know” and since there is absolutely no SEC oversight, they’d be fools if they didn’t buy leveraged options, either calls or puts. Prove it. Even if you could, likely half of the republicans in congress are in on it. Even if they were totally innocent, nowhere near 2/3rds to remove him. And if Vance turns up on Forbes list as a billionaire, he’s next in line. ETA: Before 2016 at least, Trump was never close to being a billionaire. He paid zero taxes, as the ghost writer (and maybe himself) wrote only fools pay taxes. After 2020, hard to say. As of now, he is a billionaire for sure, If I had his forthcoming Executive Orders before their release, I would have lots of money. Dunno about billionaire status. ---
