Someone is clearly trying to ingratiate themselves.

That doesn't mean that they don't actually want to do it of course.

Lets at least see how this one pans out...or if he even gets through the 4yrs! *grassy knoll* cough cough....

Not that it has a hope in hell of being passed anyway. WTF are these people like?

I think it’s the acolytes, lickspittles and fawning enablers that are often worse than the person they idolise. Maybe they see a lot of themselves in their heroes.

Also, and this may have been covered on the birth right thread, Trump's team are trying to argue that Native America's don't qualify for birthright citizenship.

Let that sink in. The original people of America, don't qualify for citizenship. Madness.

 

[BadFish]

Honestly, wtf is going on.

The world has jumped the shark.

 

[Bodian]

Has he brought down the price of eggs yet?

Was wondering just this morning what Native American communities think of Trump et al and the enormous irony of descendants of immigrants bitching about, er, immigrants.

I think it’s because Trump was courting the libertarian / cyrpto bro vote, who were very much in favour of pardoning him. Trump basically promised he would pardon him when politicking and he followed through with it, probably to help fuel/continue his crypto grift rather than him having any kind of opinion of injustice. Grifters are goign to grift.

Yes, that makes sense. I thought it must be some kind of transactional arrangement based on loyalty but I couldn't figure out how, and I knew it had nothing to do with humanitarian or ethical reasons or Trump's sense of justice.

Humanitarianism and ethics never form a part of Trump's decisions. I'm sure that if he had believed he could have harvested the "sexual predator vote" he would have pardoned someone like Harvey Weinstein or even posthumoustly pardoned Epstein.... just to let sexual predators know they would be safe on his watch if they voted for him. Plus of course it would have been an issue Trump personally closely identified with.

This could end it all quite nicely. If Trump gets this changed then I expect Barrack HUSSAIN Obama could run against him. Imagine the meltdown if Obama beat him. It would be spectacular.

Birthright citizenship order blocked by judge.

I expect to hear that the judge is corrupt and nasty shortly.

Exactly as first time round, exactly as expected.

Talks big, but often with things he KNOWS can't be done. But stupid people just listen to the first bit and ignore the actual detail (ie months later when it all gets quietly dropped).

I for one am shocked.

 

[Withdean South Stand]

Has he brought down the price of eggs yet?

Eggs are free, Putin ended the war with Ukraine by apologising to Trump for daring to war and Netanyahu, in tears, called Trump and said, "Sir, I can't believe your leadership. We're going to rebuild everything in Gaza and not bomb anyone any more".

Glory to Trump.

Has he brought down the price of eggs yet?

Not while millions of hens are dying of bird flu.

60 years of civil rights in the bin. Hopefully Congress can do something.

It gets worse.

How will the women and people of colour that voted for Trump react to this?

How will the women and people of colour that voted for Trump react to this?

Hopefully with a bullet.

When does the first worthwhile poll come out. I mean, honestly, are people looking at this shit and still going 'yep, he is the right man for the job?'

Not sure it matters. It's not like here where a government in trouble can be brought down - he's there for the full four years (at least.....).

Yeah true, it would still be interesting to see if people are still supporting him in big numbers.

We are in somewhat of an echo chamber on here with most of us having an iq over our shoe size.

I guess I am interested to hear what his marks think his performance so far
