Eric could not top the turkey. Not even after the turkey gets roasted.
‘Top’ as in ‘to kill’; or ‘top’ as in ‘to have sex with’?
The Lincoln Project put out a great commercial suggesting JD Vance is being set up to outright replace Trump. I’m not sure if I believe it because I have trouble swallowing the idea that Vance is the best they could do but nonetheless… we know Trump has a complex around getting betrayed by those who are closest to him.
These are not mutually exclusive.
Eric is clearly a bottom anyway.
Meanwhile…
I imagine it’s rather difficult to find someone who’d be willing to have their name replace “Mike Pence”.
I’ve been noticing the same thing lately. And in the videos I’ve seen as well, not just the still images. A lot of bored, vacant expressions. Very little of the old enthusiasm.
“If I were named Obama, I would’ve had the Nobel Prize. He got the prize, he didn’t know what he got it for. He got elected. So did I… I got elected too. There’s a lot unfairness in this world”
“I stopped a lot of wars from starting. There were countries that were going war and I stopped them using trade. Countries that have been fighting for centuries”
“I will stop Chinese and other countries produced audiblebile and autonomous vehicles. Do you like autonomous? Does anybody like an autonomous vehicle? You know what that is right? When you see a car driving along.”
“We don’t have electricity. In California, you have brownouts or blackouts every week. They place is stone cold broke, no electricity. You blackouts and brownouts all the time”
“The word grocery. It’s a sort of simple word. It sort of means everything you eat. The stomach is speaking”
“These things were coming cylinders, no wings, no nothing, and they’re coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle, reminded me of the Biden circles that he used to have… then I heard we lost”
“Now, I’m gonna make it real – very quick it’s gonna go. But to bring it to that level I guess I’ll need a little more time but I won’t have that time but I’m gonna have, I’m gonna hand it over to people. We’re gonna make this country so strong”
“They don’t wanna-- I say, ohhh-- They don’t wanna – when I first, I thought I was seeing things. I thought I wassss… like-- I didn’t hear that when I first start this ho-- they’d say ‘the Democrats will not approve voter ID.’”
First time I’ve heard him say the plan is to hand the country over to the real professional Fascists after trump gets his incompetent greedy-but-not-violent self elected.
By far the main risk of a trump presidency isn’t Trump. It’s the pros who’re now lining up to take over after he’s in.
I watched a bit of the one I quoted. It’s as if somebody lit up a “don’t look bored” sign, then they were enthusiastic.
A few years ago, there were some rolling brownouts. Other than PG&E shutting down power (with notice) in fire danger areas with high wings and above ground power lines, it hasnt happened recently. Texas is the state with grid issues, not CA.
Not since the bad ol’ days of Enron some 20 years ago.
“From Commerce, to Labor, (fart) and FEMA”
"A catastrophe for the American dream (FARRRRRRRRT) and a dire crisis…
A friend of mine who was raised in Brooklyn, NY told me that certain allegations about Trump’s, um … lower gastrointestinal tract … are common knowledge among the people working in commercial establishments that Trump likes to frequent. I have not repeated his remarks in detail and don’t intend to, as they seem like nothing but outlandish hearsay. HOWEVER, the sounds in the last two clips seem to support the gossip.
If only our computers could record smells as well as sound and pictures. On second thought…
He said it himself, the stomach is speaking.
I’d like that too, Johnny was great.
Well, we really would need Jesus to come back for that.
If my link. covering the Detroit speech where Trump allegedly passed gas, is correct in saying this was mostly ad libbed, Trump is mentally sharp for his age:
My guess is that the first sentence above was off the teleprompter, and the rest was ad libbed.
The writers of All in the Family would probably have taken an hour or two to come up with that, maybe putting it in the mouth of Archie’s rich brother.
But maybe I’m wrong. Someone needs to link the teleprompter script.
That passes as mentally sharp for you? Uh, okay. I’ll grant, this piece is not the normal gibberish, but Cicero it ain’t.
(quote is Trump, not PhillyGuy but I’m not messing with anything inside of quote tags)
Poor Old Numpty Thinks It’s A Corvette.
I think the combination of nostalgia and narcissism is what is at work in that little speech. Waxing poetically (for a certain value of “poetically” of course) about how great things used to be is kind of Trump’s stock in trade.
The excerpt contains trace amounts of humility and self depredation I didn’t think Trump was capable of. It’s fucking Shakespeare beside the bar Trump has set for himself.
