Yeah, I mean really… olive branch with no olives. Elon may be many despicable things but he knows a bullshit gesture that is really a threat when he sees one. He can easily read that there is an unspoken clause after “I want him and everyone to thrive” , which is “…as long as they get along with me.”
It avoids that whole Senate conformation thing since that body doesn’t kiss his ass 100% of the time, only 98% which is totally unacceptable to the stable genius.
Reminds me of this Lincoln Project ad from 2020.
And the funniest part of that is their idol is the very one creating a deep state.
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! The felon’s flacks came to a pre-conceived conclusion!
If the felon doesn’t want people to be referred to by their chosen pronouns, I shall henceforth emulate the felon in this and only this. From this moment on, the felon shall be referred to as it in my posts in this thread.
Getting back to the article.
It’s gone back to its usual bargaining method: “Do what I say or else.”
It and its top level people may have {gasp} lied! (The bolding is mine, as is the snarky use of a particular pronoun in the link text. v(^o^)/
No surprise here. Its favorite network bowed to its demands.
It’s having a rough time, isn’t it?
“I like acting.”
I’ve often said, “sometimes I just want to be alone in a crowd.” Sit at a table out of the way in a pub, but where I can see everyone else hanging out at the bar. Close enough I can interact if I decide to, but far enough away that I can just read a book instead.
From AlJazeera:
Trump wades in on Thailand-Cambodia fighting during golf visit in Scotland
The US president’s second day golfing at one of his courses has also met protests around the country.
I am not reading any more than the title and subtitle. This fucker is on an official trip and he’s golfing. Next stop: Windsor Castle where he can probably also golf and complain about windmills, and will be quite far from any protestors.
Just meet the King, try and look taller (he’s got the fatter part down) and get your damn photo-op then GTFO. I suggest a Holiday in Cambodia.
Can’t drop a ref without a link the Dead Kennedys;
Wait, what? This is not that official King Visit? He just went to Scotland to complain about windmills and eagle every hole despite those pesky distractions:
The Trump family will also visit another one of their courses near Aberdeen in northeastern Scotland, before returning to Washington on Tuesday.
Okay then, say you’ll end the Thailand-Cambodia thing in a day or two weeks, whichever comes first and I hope Auckland, New Zealand needs the King’s assistance whenever Trump comes again. Dammit.
ETA: I assume AF One will land at LHR and the most remote spot at that airport at Terminal Four brings you right past the decrepit Concorde. If America had made that it would surely still be flying (he will say)
While it’s golfing, vice-felon is killing free speech.
It has gotten advice from another sex offender.
Out of character? Hahahaha! That’s out of ability. It cannot shut its fool mouth.
I’ve had my fun with the “it” bit, so it’s back to the usual negative yet accurate terms for the felon.
Our national embarrassment is–Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!–lazy.
Now I’m wondering. Does he also have a piss boy with him or a groom of the stool? If so, those poor souls would need hazmat gear.
Federal judge tells the felon no go on violating the constitution.
For your convenience, here is the text of the tenth amendment.
Two governors leave the National Governors Association. No surprise why.
A lot more very interesting detail is in the link.
That’s me.
In the corner?
I think it’s a sign of my general contempt that at first glance I read the headline as Trump waddles in…
He’s losing his religion.
(But that’s me, too).
Hey, shove over. It’s me, too. But don’t talk to me, okay?
Here at the home they do a very nice breakfast buffet on Friday morning. Sometimes I like to go and sit and read on my kindle and enjoy my pancakes or French toast or whatever. It’s nice to be with people without having to interact with them. But people here are so danged friendly. There’s an assumption that if you’re sitting alone you must want company.
One time I was sitting off by myself with the NYTimes open on my kindle and a fellow resident came over and asked if she could join me. I reluctantly said, “Okay, but do you mind if we don’t talk to each other?” She was tickled, said that was fine with her, and promptly pulled out her phone to read. Now she likes to tell the story of how we met, “I asked if I could join ThelmaLou, and she said okay, but only if we don’t talk to each other!” I guess I have a reputation now. 
There are worse things in life. Getting back on topic, for example, you could be a Trumper.
Trumps press briefing with Ursla von der Leyen today. What a fucking idiot! MeidasTouch (17 min)
What’s the gist, for those of us who dislike videos?
One example (3 minute mark). He’s asked about the starvation in Gaza and goes on a rant about how they should be thanking the US for donating 60 million dollars. “It makes you feel a little bad, when no one acknowledges it”
Money Pit One is getting prepped.

And who is this bright star to accomplish this mystery task?
Just in case you thought the above is a one-off.

The felon sure loves him some conspiracy theorists, doesn’t he?
That last bit obviously portends a pardon will be scrawled soon. And Little Mikey and Big Daddy won’t be besties anymore.
Remember the 11-year old girl with brain cancer?

So, we have a sick US citizen who is stuck in Mexico thanks to the felon’s demogaugery. Read the whole article to see what other danger the family is in.
And this is my favorite part of this story. (The bolding is mine.)
And speaking of dictatorships…
Did you notice Florida and New York are not on that list? Gee, I wonder which felon could benefit the most from that lapse?
The Second Felonial Era is back in the toilet.
Yeah, right. I believe this was an investigation as much as I believe the felon won the 2020 election.
Alligator Auschwitz prisoners sent to parts unknown.
Since when does the state government of Florida have the legal authority to deport anyone?
I forgot. Florida is no longer an independent state. It’s a branch of the felon’s dictatorship.
The number of flights is unknown and the destination is unknown? That’s nonsense. The only reason I can envision for not specifically stating those is because the felon’s administration knows full well how embarrassing, how damning that information is.
No, it is like this: AF1 has been circling the airport, waiting for that car to stop driving around the runway when a flight attendant bring her phone in to show the pilot a post on a mastodon site that is making fun of them for trying to land on the Top Gear test track.
Because, you know, ShitGibbon hires only the best people.
