NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 4)

Oh, yeah, you do need the “with design to” part. But again, while he could argue in court that that wasn’t his design, lots of luck with that argument.

Agreed. (The New Republic used to have a good reputation; I’m not so sure that’s true, anymore.)

What a ludicrous statement.

The TMJ4 News quote in the next post, to the effect that Muslim leaders were calling for his resignation, is upsetting in itself. Every decent person in New Berlin should be calling for his resignation, regardless of religious affiliation.

I mean:

Obviously he thinks he’s hilarious.
Jeff Foxworthy has a lot to answer for…

“Hey, Ukraine, would you mind not bombing Moscow while the head of the CIA is there to kiss Putin’s ass? We don’t trust his military to keep us safe from you in the war we keep telling everyone you’re losing.”

A while back, someone asked Zelensky if he’d go to Moscow, he said he wouldn’t, because "It’s dangerous, there are a lot of Ukrainian drones there.”

I have been through Berlin, but New Berlin seemed unfamiliar. Turns out New Berlin is in Waukesha county, the most notorious red hole of Wisconsin. Muslims might call for his removal, but the city will just replace him with someone worse.

His shade game remains strong, I see.

Even after 6 years of being president, Trump still just does not understand the scale of things in the US. He hears “300,000 tons of beef”, and thinks, “Wow! That’s a lot!”, and doesn’t even think about the math behind it.

It was like during the last government shut down, when they claimed that some anonymous billionaire was going to donate money to pay the US military during the shut down. But if you did the math, the “huge” number they quoted would have been about $100 per person.

He’s nominally a billionaire, who thinks like a millionaire, who is trying to run a country that deals with trillions, and he just can’t wrap his brain around that scale of things.

In one of the many disgusting turns of events regarding Trump, I believe he is a genuine billionaire, now.

Sure, with just the grifting we know about. If he’s still not, he’s even worse with money than we thought.

Hey, I could be a legitimate billionaire too if I could manipulate markets and funnel money from the US Treasury directly into my pocket.

For certain values of “legitimate”.

Without question. He’s no honest billionaire, or any honest anything.

He reportedly made billions just from the Trump memecoin grift alone.

Iowa is suing California for suing Paramount.

It’s maybe just barely possible that he’s managed to grift his way to a positive net worth. An actual billionaire? I don’t believe it.

“Why, I’ve worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.”

Donald J. Trump, at a town hall-style event in New Hampshire hosted by Matt Lauer of NBC’s “Today” show on Monday [October 26, 2015], when asked if he’s ever been told “no.”

My whole life, really, has been a no, and I fought through it. And, you, know, I talk about it. It’s not been easy for me, it has not been easy for me. You know, I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars. I came into Manhattan, and I had to pay him back, and I had to pay him back with interest. But I came into Manhattan and I started buying properties, and I did great.

From here.

Well, there’s that and there’s also the $400 million he inherited from his father over the course of decades.

Who the hell buys this crap? MAGA is stupid enough, but do they collectively have billions to give him? Again?

No, but the Saudis & Russians do.

Not sure where to put this, but here seems like a good enough thread. Up Chelan way (north central WA state), some wildfire fighters took a respite from their efforts and about a dozen of them decided to pose for a picture. They took the picture in front of this flag

Wait, what? What flag is that?
It is the flag of the Republic of Rhodesia.

Which appears to be another sly way of expressing their über-Whiteness.
