…who pays someone else to do it and then takes all the credit, like with her handbag designs.
Be my little baby…woh oh oh oh ooohhhh
Donald John Trump will follow anything his dick runs into. Doesn’t matter that he is too stupid to understand what a gold digger is. Doesn’t matter one bit.
He’s a moron that can’t think beyond where his next hamberder is coming from. That is the president of the USA.
We know the facts above to be true.
Republicans don’t care as long as they can somehow get a payoff.
Evil Chekov did not have a goatee. And he was not nearly as evil as evil Sulu (who was also cleanshaven).
It looked like evil Sulu got shaved too close, truth be told.
Ddamn! That does work, doesn’t it?
Thanks for the correction.
(sorry; I can’t find the Shatner SNL skit on YouTube atm.)
You totally fucking rock, Johnny L.A.!
Evil Spock didn’t have a goatee either; it’s a van dyke.
I think we should all enjoy watching a certain person take one of his golf carts and use it to re-enact what the actor who played Chekov 2.0 did with the Jeep. No stunt doubles.
All this is true. But it appears that Trump’s handlers aren’t counting on the traditional military to provide muscle for harassing “the wrong” people at polling places, keeping demonstrators fearful and few, etc. He’s building up ICE and associated border-patrol forces:
Trump administration to deploy Border Patrol officers to sanctuary cities
Only one hundred now, but as people get used to having Trump’s private forces encamped in their cities, the numbers can be increased.
There’s really nothing they can’t be counted on to do in Trump’s interest—which can’t really be said for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard, who are (from Trump’s point of view) far too interested in following traditions of non-involvement in civilian affairs. (Though perhaps the Space Force might be more amenable to breaking heads for Trump; we’ll have to wait and see on that one.)

Something just occurred to me. I’m wondering if the emphasis on intimidating Hispanic voters might not be bolstered by them believing their own bullshit. Like they’re scaring away all the illegal voters that went for Hillary and cost Il Douche his landslide popular vote victory.
Could they be that fucking stupid? That they are sincerely in pursuit of an enemy they made up in the first place?
No, really, he failed to get into a war with Iran, so his plan is to ramp the country up toward internal violent conflict, in the hope that he will get re-elected as a wartime leader.
We are not talking being killed or disappearing. We are talking not doing their jobs. A work slowdown, perhaps.
Use your imagination.
This is entirely unsurprising, and actually evidence of Trump’s ignorance, (which is not to say that his complete ignorance didn’t play a role). To think that Trump would act otherwise is to misunderstand what motivates Trump’s policy. Going after the high value targets recommended by the intelligence community only makes sense if your goal is to make America safer. This is not at all Trump’s goal. Keeping thing a little dicey abroad helps keep up the fear and Xenophobia that keeps him in power. No what matters is pandering to his ignorant base. Killing off some high ranking ISIS commander Ailbabyboobystan, whose name no one can pronounce let alone recognize isn’t going to do much for him. On the other hand killing off another Bin Laden, that that is the sort of thing that is going get the crowd frothing at the mouth at his next rally.
Well, broad culture wise the military does seem to be turning away from Trump.
49.9% of the military have an unfavorable view of Trump, (45.1% very unfavorable) compared to 41.6% that have a favorable view (24.3% very favorable). Among the officers its even worse with only 33% of officers having a favorable view. So I don’t see a military dictatorship in Trump’s near future.
God I hope this is true. I am in numerous (perhaps too many) military related Facebook groups and it seems like the majority of the participants are loud, obnoxiously, and stupidly pro-Trump. I hope it’s the noisy minority.
Trump commutes Blagojevich’s sentence, pardons others
But not Him, of course.
Michael fucking Milken?
He is setting a precedent to pardon for financial crimes… presumably so some future president pardons him.
I’m trying to come up with Trump’s motivation for some of these actions – figuring he’s 100% motivated by “what’s in it for me?” – and I’m stumped. Is there a sizable contingent of Ohio voters who are thinking “Well, I got no use for Trump, but any friend of Eddie D’s is all right in my book!”? Enough to carry Ohio in November? Not seeing it.
