Anything which Rip van Simple or his horde of hacks doesn’t like is now a national security threat. Why? There’s a rather simple (sorry) answer for that. He’s getting away with literally murdering people by declaring them to be national security threats.
Let me remind you Rip van Simple has often called legitimate news outfits and their reporters threats to national security. He is simply announcing he will murder them, too. Is this just rhetoric? Ask the families of those who were blown out of the water.
He’s really emulating his loverboy, Kim Jong Un, isn’t he? Kim (aka Fatty the Third) has his goons execute people with their families watching and the families will be punished for showing any grief.
Trump is far too chickenshit to actually order an execution and see it through like Kim would. He’d just mumble his way around it. “A lot of people are saying that Comrade Trotsky was very nasty to Stalin. I heard that he got stabbed in the head like a dog. I called Stalin the other day, he said he knows nothing about it."
Those of us who have had chemotherapy are familiar with something called a “port”, an implanted device that allows medical personnel to dump medications into one’s bloodstream without poking around for veins, bruising, etc. If he’s needing that much IV treatment I sort of wonder why they haven’t installed one yet. It doesn’t take long at all and is definitely concealable under clothing,
My WAG is this; installing a port typically requires local anesthesia, but it would also require Trump to sit still and keep his mouth shut for an hour or so and I don’t think he’s constitutionally capable of that, so in his case they’d need general, but that would mean letting JD be in charge for an hour, which Trump would never agree to.
“It’s, you know – after realizing we’re gonna do the inauguration in that building, it’s got all bulletproof glass, it’s got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It’s dronessss – won’t touch it. It’s a big beautiful safe building."
I saw a meme the other day congratulating Mr. Potato Head for winning everything. It said to mail all of your unwanted trophies to him at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, etc.
When I was in 9th grade, I signed up for a swimming contest. The event I entered, the breaststroke, only had two contestants and I came in second quite some time after the other guy, who, by the way, did the Australian crawl and should have been disqualified. I earned that medal. If I still had it, I wouldn’t send it to Rip van Simple. He’s earned nothing but disdain.
The Israel Prize is not a bullshit award - it’s the highest civilian honor the country grants, and has been given to many worthy recipient over the decades. What’s bullshit is awarding it to Trump, first because it’s a blatantly political decision, and second because Trump is neither an Israeli citizen nor a long-term resident, and is thus not fucking eligible.
I wonder if anyone will have the guts to petition against this, and whether the High Court of Justice will hear them. The Court is no fan of Netanyahu, to put it mildly, and it can throw a major monkey wrench in his plans if it really wants to. It certainly has grounds to revoke the award.
In that case, allow me to register my disgust that such a prestigious award has been so egregiously debased by awarding it to someone so wholly undeserving.
If I were a past recipient I’d seriously consider surrendering my award in protest.
