You know, @Monty , it’s comments like this that make me look forward to your news posts. Thanks for them, and thanks for the smiles!
I know what he wants! Besides a booming sound system it’s all about the stage. A backstage, hydraulic, elevator so he won’t have to stumble up an ramps or stairs and can just appear atop the 30 foot stage with spotlights following him. A dais with a lighted presidential seal. And somewhere in gold plate 3 feet high the letters T R U M P.
ETA: And a Hi-tech “Shh!” system that not only listens to conversations between audience members, but can spotlight them in a green laser beam to tell them to be quiet while he’s talking.
Well lit and multiple 4K signs commanding the audience for a standing ovation until it changes to sit down, applause, quiet and listen. stand and salute the flag, sing along to the National Anthem, God Bless America, God Bless the USA, dance to YMCA, and LEAVE and file out quietly as he disappears back into his elevator.
What do you do when an official US Commission on Fine Arts is about to evaluate your artistic choices, and you’re Donald J. Trump?
White House fires board that reviews presidential construction projects in Washington
The president plans to build a triumphal arch along the Potomac River and a new ballroom on the White House grounds.
WASHINGTON — The White House on Tuesday fired all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal agency that would have reviewed President Donald Trump’s ballroom construction project, a White House official confirmed to NBC News.
The official said that the White House is “preparing to appoint a new slate of members to the commission that are more aligned with President Trump’s America First Policies” and that the six board members — all of whom were appointed by former President Joe Biden — were informed they were “terminated, effective immediately,” via a White House email.
To tell the truth, I didn’t even realize that we HAD a Commission on Fine Arts.
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone
Pave Rose Garden
Put up a parking lot.
Don’t worry, they’ll restock the commission with the people who design Ted Nugent’s album covers.
Watch this video starting at around 3:12. See the Japanese Prime Minister’s shocked look as Trump goes randomly wandering off and she has to physically guide him in the right direction. Later at a speech he’s squeezing her like a jock with his high school girlfriend.
How much longer can the Pubs keep up the pretense that he’s mentally just fine, peachy-keen? Yeah, they could try to (and probably will) weekend-at-Bernie’s him after he’s dead but until then they have to pretend with a straight face all this is normal. And it’s getting increasingly harder to do so and their distraction (“Autopen!!”) look increasing desperate. And even if you can gaslight the MAGAts, the Japanese Prime Minister and other world leaders know exactly what the score is.
At what point do they say “It’s too obvious-he’s a liability?”. A lot of you might say “Never. They’ll deny it to the end,” but I am not so sure.
The video of Trump in Japan is an AI generated fake.
In my opinion, until after the mid terms. Vance wants to stave off replacing Trump until he has less than 2 years on his term so he can potentially serve two full terms and the rest of Trump’s
All of it? Or only bits and pieces? And if so: which ones are real?
All of the stuff that paints Trump in a bad light. Fake. Not real.
[It is clear, I hope, I’m just channeling MAGA]
You laugh (I hope!), but that’s what will come next. They’ll start producing AI videos of Trump, and have him say whatever they want. They’ll stop international visits because “He’s the president of the United States, he doesn’t visit you, you visit him!”, and then they’ll play silly buggers games about why you can’t actually see him when you visit. He’s far too busy right now, you’ll have to meet with Secretary whoever and their staff, sorry, we’ll tell Trump what you had to say later.
Nothing paints Trump in a bad light! Look at how he led that “prime minister” around like an Alpha Male. And she even forgot to salute, instead she just kind of leans over, like she’s not even strong enough to stand up straight! /s
So, I have to be honest. A troll at Breitbart was making fun of the video, and the MAGA faithful were calling it a fake. So my joke really isn’t. Which actually scares the fuck out of me.
à la Major Major Major Major in Catch-22: you can’t go into the Oval Office when Trump is there, you have to wait until he’s left; you can go in if he’s not there, but you have to leave when he gets back.
To which the ambassador from Russia already has a rejoinder lined up….
I’m sure they’ll rely on AI to hide the (drooling) man behind the curtain. But if the president doesn’t appear in public for an extended period, only releases videos of apparent appearances that nobody actually attended or could find records of occurring - people are going to catch on sooner or later. The media (some of them) will ask questions. I absolutely agree they’ll try but I am not sure how long they could keep it up.
Some people will catch on. But not the ones with any power to do anything about it. MAGA will buy any lies they’re told, and the GOP Congress will be complicit. Anyone in the know who speaks out will be dismissed as a crank.
If it’s a lie, they fight on that lie.
He’s not wrong.
Schrödinger’ Oval Office?
