Trump says he’s too old to continue cheating in rigged golf tournaments, will continue to serve as figurehead for an unelected broken-dicked drug addict.

[And the Firxt Felon just ignores yet another court order](https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-deports-hundreds-venezuelans-despite-140611527.html). > [@](#): > > # US deports hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members despite court order > > More than 200 alleged Venezuelan gang members have been deported from the US to a supermax prison in El Salvador, even as a US judge blocked the removals. > > El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele wrote on social media that 238 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had arrived in the Central American country, along with 23 members of the international MS-13 gang, on Sunday morning. > > Neither the US government nor El Salvador has identified the detainees, nor provided details of their alleged criminality or gang membership. I’m wondering if any of the firxt felon’s crew even know what the word _alleged_ mean. The presient of El Salvador certainly knows he’s aidng and abetting the felon-in-chief. > [@](#): > > A federal judge’s order prevented the Trump administration from invoking a centuries-old wartime law to justify the deportations, but the flights had already departed. > > “Oopsie… Too late,” posted Bukele on social media, making fun of the judge’s ruling. You might note that I mentioned upthread the order included planes which had not already landed to return the detainees to the United States. And why are they being sent to El Salvador? > [@](#): > > Bukele, an ally of US President Donald Trump, wrote that the detainees were immediately transferred to El Salvador’s notorious mega-jail, the Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot). > > The El Salvadoran president said they would be held there “for a period of one year”, and that could be “renewable”. > > “The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us,” he added. Nice. So what El Salvador’s president is doing here is incarcerating foreign nationals who have not broken any laws in his country to appease his bff, the convicted felon thrashing our constitution. And for no other reason, really, than money. And this, my friends, is why I refer to 2017~2021 as the 1st Felonial Era and 2025~2029 (or later, we’ll see what happens; those of us who survive will) as the 2nd Felonial Era. ---

I’m having a bit of fun with it for a number of reasons. Musk is addicted to the letter X for some unknown reason. He doesn’t strike me as an actual math nerd, so that’s out. Next, it seems rather obvious Musk is the person running the executive branch into the ground. Thus _Prexident Muxk_. Next, one of the titles for the United States president is _Commander in Chief_, which of course gives other mocking titles such as Liear in Chief and the like when felon47 was felon45. The traditional term for the spouse of the president. So I figure _Prexident Muxk_ and _Firxt Felon_ are rather appropriate. ---

It’s just golf - and he’s a well known cheater. Yet I’d like to see his golf card (if he bothered). Just a couple holes-in-one the threes, only one hole-in-one on a four, A few Eagles and a couple double eagles on the fives. All from the “pro” tee of course. Or just an average -4 for him and everyone else somehow getting +10’s to guarantee they wouldn’t even be in 2nd place. ---

Yeah - I’m sure he is a better golfer than he appears (just from the amount he plays, on excellent courses.) But getting down to single digits is quite impressive and unusual. Under 5 is truly exceptional. There is NO WAY someone with his swing is under 5. I could easily imagine him being a bogey golfer from the white tees. I would also bet the house that he keeps score quite casually - gimmees/improved lies/no penalty strokes/mulligans… Which is fine, but makes the concept of a handicap pretty much useless. ---

Best I could find is some YouTube dude who reckons Trump is talking about the 2018 film “Skyscraper” where a fire-fighter is shot off a ladder from a rocket launcher. You can’t say he’s lost it as he lost it before he was elected the first time. You can’t say he’s crazy because he is certifiably batshit-crazy. I dunno what the context was or what kind of question the next reporter he called on was, except the question was not like “Sir, are you insane?” We need an Executive Order to undo Biden allowing and even encouraging the shooting of fire-fighters. At least the shit wore his usual red tie and presumably no shamrock socks. I don’t want him to mention St. Patrick’s Day, The Irish believe “Everyone is a little Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day” and that saying goes back to when it cartainly didn’t apply to the English (unless it pissed them off) and not that I speak for The Irish, yet it doesn’t cover Trump, Musk or VP shamrock socks.
