I suspect Donald would not be averse to a bit of burglary.
Aside from everything else: THIS is one of the very good reasons for the ‘no living people depicted on our currency’ (or other official media we must carry around, such as a National Parks pass). It’s just anti-American to force us to carry about graven images of some living person. It’s idolatry.
Of course the Cult loves that it’s idolatry. They’d pay extra to be able to practice it.
It’s way worse than that. He want’s to destroy national parks and give them over to the petroleum industry. I’m sure he has never set foot in a national park or ever been in nature.
Nature abhors a vacuum. So do the rest of us.
I think the thread for the inside of Donald’s head is Trump is dying - #1086 by Steve_MB
(It used to be “Trump is confused,” but that one seems to have slipped down the listings.)
jk, of course–not actually correcting your posting location.
Extractive industries in general - mining, logging as well as oil drilling.
But also they’d like to sell off some of the primo spots in national parks for high-end resorts for the rich - something high-priced and exclusive enough to keep away the hoi polloi. Keep an eye on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park for the next year or so - if you starting hearing noise from the government about the expense of repairing the lodge and infrastructure up there, you’ll know the fix is in.
The Trump administration continues to abuse Franklin the Turtle
Last month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted an apparently AI-generated cover of a book titled “Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists” on social media. The cover featured Franklin in a helicopter and apparently firing missiles at drug boats, making light of the administration’s boat strike scandal.
“For your Christmas wish list,” Hegseth wrote alongside the image.
new stuff:
The DOJ post included an illustrated cover of a fake book titled “Franklin Becomes A Deportation Judge” that showed the fictional turtle wearing a white wig and a judge’s robe and holding a gavel in his hand.
Other departments under President Donald Trump have continued to appropriate the character to advance the administration’s agenda. The Department of Education used Franklin to claim that the department “doesn’t do any educating.” The Department of Health and Human Services shared a faux cover featuring the turtle avoiding “ultra-processed foods” in an effort to “Make America Healthy Again.”
This is pointless bullying behavior from the government of the United States.
There’s got to be a point where parody is protected speech gives way to hurting our brand is tortious behavior, doesn’t there?
I’d love for some IP lawyers to weigh in.
Who are these people? All of them are insane?
It’s turtolous behavior.
Heh. Had me running to Wiktionary for a minute, until I realized that you were riffing on the fact that Franklin is a turtle.
Job requirement.
The tortious torturous tortoise.
We must expose the expediting of the extortion of the tortious torturous tortoise!
Meh. In reality, hope they get fucking sued out the ass on that. It’s fricking kids’ material! So I’m gonna start calling all of them one word— since there’s so many nicknames for the idiots in charge: CHILDREN
Let’s hope they get sued successfully and have to shell out.
My wife is a substitute teacher, K through 5. She would be upset if I told her about this comparison. Any of her pupils has infinitely more empathy, understanding, and curiosity than the monsters running our country.
(But I get you. So much of Trumpworld is indeed shockingly infantile.)
A sell-out, a traitor, greedy, weak, evil bastard. A slave to money and self-love.
Willing to trade the lives of millions for a few tainted petro dollars. President in Name Only.

To the people of Brown, shit happens? You disgusting piece of shit.
Sure he has-- don’t you remember that time he went to Yos-Might national park in California.
He probably thinks playing golf is the same as being in nature. It’s not.
