NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 4)

How has that “Don’t worry your pretty little head about Trump” bandwagon been working out for you the last few years?

Pretty well, thanks. How’s the “Trump is going to invade Canada and cancel all elections and have Democrats executed in the streets and sell Alaska to Putin and shut down the SDMB and make it legal to hunt gay people for sport and impoe nationwide martial law and his reign of terror will never end” bandwagon going?

You’ll have to find (or create) your own strawman for that fantasy conversation, I’m afraid.

We already had the “Trump can do anything he wants” thread which covered all of that, and probably doesn’t need to clutter this thread.

Is true. I’ll back off

I can’t see Melania trying to do that, can you? Far more likely to bug out to New York, or somewhere posh overseas, as soon as trump is too far gone to make it worth her while to stay around.

To be honest, the approach taken when Woodrow Wilson was incapacitated wouldn’t work today, when we expect to see the president regularly.

But hasn’t he been out of public view for a week or so at a time lately?

And it prompted massive online rumors about him being dead.

Stephen Miller in a long wig.

The big question is whether Project 2025ism will survive trump & trumpism. They are not synonymous projects.

There’s a bunch of overlap where Project 2025’s agenda is being accomplished by overreaching executive orders coming from someplace [Heritage Foundation?] that trump is happy to uncomprehendingly sign.

And there’s a bunch of performative (but quite real) police-state & klepto-state evil being perpetrated for trump’s personal entertainment and enrichment. Which is presumably at his (or his very inner trumporg / family circle’s) personal behest. The latter of which sells real well to the MAGA crowd.

If trump keels over next week, can / will Vance keep Project 2025ism going at least for the remainder of the 2024-2028 term? Will we see police-state overreach increase, decrease, or stay the same? Who among trumporg has wormed themselves and their businesses deeply enough into the federal trough that they can’t be easily dislodged? Will there be any effort to dislodge them? And what of the hard-right loyalists increasingly packing the upper ranks of every federal agency, most perniciously DoJ & DoD?

A decidedly nasty, mean, and corrupt style of RW government might take a generation to dislodge and a century to clean up after even if trump has died by Christmas 2025.

Now international visitors will pay significantly more than US residents to enter US national parks.

Oh, and US residents will be admitted for free on Trump’s birthday.

I’d rather pay twice the standard fee.

There’s yet another date that will live in infamy.

As to the falling-out between MTG & trump …
I popped this into another thread but it fits here too:

The first Continental Union flag was adopted on December 3, 1775.

Some enterprising member of Congress should sponsor a bill to change Flag Day to December 3.

June 14 can officially be declared Oppose Fascism Day. That could be a nice celebration. But the main celebration day should be December 3.

PERFECT!!

Donald’s birthday, from this day hence, should always be commemorated with giant photos of his mug shot with a barred-circle ( :prohibited: ) superimposed.

Well, Tulsi Gabbard is telling some real whoppers.

Nevermind - I think she is actually saying La Diabla.
