“Call me mint jelly, ‘cause I’m on the lam!”
Like a lam to the slotter.
My teen kid asked me where the slush fund money would come from - that they’d had to be SOME government account into which Trump’s taxpayer-funded Treasury would divert the 1.8 billion dollars (actually, the cap is unlimited).
Sure enough, this linked FAQ explains it well. In the 1950s, Congress set up a small fund to pay out Federal settlements — I picture like if someone trips and breaks their leg while on a White House tour. More recently, a legal scholar warned this could be exploited for political purposes.
And thanks to this cartoon, I laughed so hard Joe peed in my pants! 
Heh, I can remember all the kids laughing at me when I started spelling pneumonia with a ‘p’ in a spelling bee.
For the Memorial Day holiday holiday, trump posts a surprisingly moving and articulate statement that befits the somberness of the day and works to heal our national divisions and bring the country together.
Haha, just kidding! He starts off by saying “Happy Memorial Day” which is like saying “Happy Pearl Harbor Day” in its tin-eared cluelessness, uses his favorite new term ‘Dumocrats’, rails against all those who criticize his handling of Iran, gloats about getting the Repubs primaried who did anything to oppose him, and gets in a dig at the Obama administration. Such a class act.
Pathological. And Sad.
Let me see if I can decifer that…
Happy memorial day. I’d rather be golfing or staying as far as I can from Meloni or Melania or whatever her name isMake sure to honor our verterans that gave everything! Those losers
I believe the exact term trump used was ‘losers and suckers’.
I’m sure he would consider me a loser and a sucker because I did not inherit $600,000,000.
I actually figured out what the world is, and worked for a living.
When the Elder Ottlet used to complain about being short, I’d tell her it was her fault for not choosing taller parents. I suppose the same logic can be applied to you (and me) when it comes to money.
In the news:
WASHINGTON — After a gunman opened fire near the White House over the weekend, President Donald Trump’s administration made an urgent plea to the judge hearing a lawsuit over his proposed ballroom, saying in a brief that the shooting shows why the president needs the ballroom to safely host special events.
“Without this National Security Facility, such events are otherwise relegated to the vulnerable tents on the South Lawn, exposed to various threats, as again shown by last night’s shooting, which would have been easily in range to reach a tent,” the Justice Department said in its brief filed Sunday. (Secret Service agents fatally shot a 21-year-old man with apparent mental health issues who’d opened fire on a checkpoint.)
Wait! – So Trump says he absolutely NEEDS a safe retreat under his ballroom to protect him from threats surrounding the White House
Isn’t this the same guy who indignantly insisted that he was NOT cowering in his bunker back in 2020, but he was only “inspecting it” for a “brief” period of time.
So if the bunker isn’t there for him to retreat into – because that would be unmanly, after all – then what the hell does he need it for? And why do recent threats make it imperative to build one?
Oh, honey…
If you keep trying to apply logic, reason, and common sense to Donnie’s behavior, you are going to hurt yourself and your head will surely explode at some point.
It’s okay. All of us here understand.
I thought he’d sent crime in DC to join the Irish snakes.
He’s pissed me off today by the DoJ has launched a criminal investigation into E Jean Carroll, per the article,
I’m not surprised by this. Just pissed. Trump is a vile little man desperate to get out from under having to pay Carroll millions.
You misunderstand. By investigating her, she’s now eligible to get monies from the $1.8b slush fund! She’ll get the monies owed to her, and Trump won’t have to pay out of his own pocket! 5-dimentional chess!
He claims Biden ‘weaponized’ the justice system. Trump’s been using it as a club for decades.
Well, he’s only been President for a bit over five years now, so that doesn’t quite add up.
Trump has been weaponizing the law via lawsuits long before he was POTUS.
