The ballroom that the Lord commanded Donald to build will now include “unlimited drones” from “the great drone empire” and a sniper nest from which they can shoot anybody in DC. It’s going to be Rome, because Greece likes triangles!
Also, the reflecting lake is gonna be waterproof.
Good point.
Also fair.
On balance, I’ll go with ‘the Trumpites want to make ALL elections illegitimate in the minds of the populace.’ Which is easier to control that way.
Perhaps I’m naive, and the rot this country has become hasn’t really set in with me, but I’m still waiting for someone, someone with authority, a judge, to say “No, fucker. You don’t get to write yourself a check for a billion dollars. And you were charged with crimes because you’re a blatant criminal.”
That day hasn’t come yet. Just got two “breaking news” announcements (NY Times and Daily Herald) -
(I meant to include links here, but they ain’t working. NYT is subtitled “IRS Prohibited From Pursuing Audits of Trump and His Family”)
So his whole reason for “suing” the IRS was to get them to drop the audits of his taxes. Can we get this corrupt fucker out of office yet?
If he’s not under audit anymore, it’s he finally going to release his tax returns like he said?
In addition to the slush fund, it is being reported that the IRS has agreed to drop all investigations into Trump’s current tax issues.
@Smapti The one proofing left out but desperately needed is idiot-proofing.
Famously cannot be done, they are too smart.
The problem with idiot-proofing is that they just invent a better idiot.
January 21st, 2029. Jack Smith appointed special prosecutor to investigate every single act of corruption by the current administration. If pardons have been handed down to all the actors, referrals wiill be made to the ICC for war crimes.
One can dream. Sigh…
It’s Schrödinger’s audit.
Matches the Epstein files.
One of the things we’ve belatedly discovered is that judges can make all the rulings they want but when the DOJ is thoroughly corrupt, there is no way to enforce those rulings. A judge with authority doesn’t exist anymore. Well, except of course, if they are ruling for the fascists.
To be fair, that check is much closer to two billion dollars.
Main quote(s) from Onion piece…
While I had a good laugh at that, it’s also sad to think (as mentioned many times before, here, and I’ll gladly reiterate) that’s something I wouldn’t be surprised to hear the overgrown toddler say.
Definitely screwing with the satire window.
Downpage is The Onion’s Exclusive Interview with JD Vance.
Sample:
What do you say to critics who claim you’re a political chameleon with no genuine sense of personal identity?
That’s ridiculous. I am and always have been a member of the Deep-South-Midwest-coastal-working-class elite.
It’s a good thing.
After 9/11, The Onion took a day to show that satire lives.
We thought it over with Trump 1, and definitively over with Trump 2, yet they have become laughingstocks. Of coure, Pres TACO is still a psychotic madman. Yet he’s on the record as a six time chapter 11 Loser guy and he’s going to lose in big time diplomacy, belligerency and writing checks he cannot cash at The Bank of Rhetoric.
I’m confused here (and who, really, isn’t when it comes to Rip van Simple and his flock of felons?). I thought a settlement such as this latest fraud fiasco required a judge’s approval. Is that correct? And is the judge involved one of the felon’s toadies?
I’m not sure why this Brian Tyler Cohen interview with Jamie Raskin is titled:
FINALLY: Trump gets BAD NEWS about his $1.7 billion slush fund
It sounds to me like they’re struggling to stop it from happening.
