The richest adolescent narcissist with all our personal data versus the biggest crybaby with limitless power and access to the nuclear codes… what could go wrong?!? Should be wickedly entertaining.

Well Nathan Bedford is quite dead. Probably not a disqualification.
But he did found the KKK and was considered a civil war criminal in his native Tennessee (but they named a park and highway after him… I learned that while in Tennessee and realized I just could never live there).

Maybe they’ll go all in to their base and name it the Nathan Bedford. Hard to find a shittier human.

She’s right, everyone dies. But she has decided people not like her should die sooner than her. But isn’t that her point?

He’s nuts and shameless. I always assumed he sold the “the buck stops here” desk plaque on the resolute desk for magic bitcoin beans.

I’d be stunned if more than 20% of them were worried where this goes.
They are enamored with themselves and their perks. Keeping those is job one. Opposing Trump jeopardizes that. They’d watch America burn before they risk their jobs.

Fidel Rubio is really taking authoritarianism to heart. Bravo.

Harming brown people was a top priority for his voters. No surprise here.

As long as those blue state liberals suffer who cares… wait, did you say Alabama? Oh shit. There must be a mistake…

Except people voted for Trump to harm other people’s children. This is what they wanted.
What are the odds he has a Muammar Gaddafi style uniform for next year’s birthday parade? I guess at least 50/50.

Huh. Guess Heinrich Himmler was right about reincarnation. He’d be surprised he came back as a woman named Pam, but happy he was right.

Not surprised. The average American is a moron. By definition half of all Americans are less than average.

Stunned the numbers were that good. I would be curious if they magically pulled some April sales forward or pushed some December sales out.

If you look at the word “fucktard” in the dictionary, he is the picture.

Forget the Nazi vibe from Elon. Their design is lazy and long in the tooth. The Chinese have done a better job. Lucid has done a better job. I bet the day Toyota launches purely electric models, Tesla will go the way of Hudson and Studebaker.
And the truck… it’s both hideous and unreliable.

In all fairness the brunch after the Pope funeral is unbelievable.

I suspect the few sane republicans are holding their breath until they see what happens to Taylor and Krebs. If they are disappeared or sent to prison for disloyalty to Trump, the Lisa Murkowskis will fall in line and kowtow to Dear Leader and we become North Korea.

A cult leader determines the reality and facts for their flock. Trump is a cult leader. History, facts, laws, science, etc. are all what ever he says at that time. If he contradicts it tomorrow, then that’s the new reality and yesterday never happened. And the cult believes.

I wouldn’t bet on the supreme court’s making any ruling that holds Der Fuhrer accountable. If they put him in a box and he fails to comply, their shroud of relevancy. They will have all the clout of a UN resolution.
Use weasel words and they can fool themselves and some that they have a role.

Hmmm. I’ve spent far too much time with my Perry’s Handbook for Chemical Engineers.
But for pleasure, I think I’ve lead the Lord of the Rings 9 time, including out loud to all three children (bedtimes were drawn out affairs here).

Correct. The 5th amendment specifies “person”, not citizen. This has been interpreted by past courts to be citizen and non-citizen alike.

Unfortunately the Reichstag has ceded its power solely to Der Leader.

They are simplifying foreign policy: It’s never a struggle to live up to high morals and principles once you’re aligned with the axis of evil.
It is remarkable to watch the moral collapse of Marco “Fidel” Rubio. His ancestors fled oppression only to lead oppression.

Wow. Great read that got my blood pumping.
I imagine it will be an interesting mix of actual conservatives, liberals, and libertarians in the re-education camps!

Why would anyone be surprised? The number one attribute, perhaps number one “value” held by republicans is a lack of shame.
It’s the common thread in all their beliefs and actions.

Except he even bankrupted a Casino. I mean who does that? Spoiler, a moron.

Clearly why he was hired. They’d make George Wallace blush with their audacity.

But Fox and Newsmax will sell it as strength that he is powerless in this (but omnipotent in all else). And his cult will believe.

But this is exactly what Trump supporters voted for: punishment of the other. They just failed to understand in the Venn diagram of punishees, they or their loved ones are in one of the circles of hell.
