Ex President* Trump

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Good thing incompetent fools were running the show.

:laughing-rolling:
Irony. I just heard on PBS that the TRE45QN 'administration' was "malevolent tempered by incompetence". :lol:
I doubt they'll make the same mistakes again. They learned.
-0-? I still can't wrap my head around the possibility of reelection. Maybe I'm foolishly optimistic.


Meanwhile, "The Swamp" is still being drained . . . of ex-PINO sycophants:

Justice Dept. accuses 2 political operatives of hiding foreign lobbying during Trump administration

:clap: :clap:


“Qatar, which in 2017 paid Bennett's company $2.1 million for lobbying work”

“Federal prosecutors filed two criminal counts against Bennett in a charging document known as an information, which is typically filed only with a defendant's consent and generally signals that the parties have reached a resolution. Prosecutors said the case will be dismissed after he complies with the terms of a deferred prosecution agreement, including the payment of a $100,000 fine.”

Got it - 2.1 million for illegal lobbying costs a hundred thousand fine, leaving a net gain of 2 million.
I want a job like that

And even better deals for preachers and governors

“Robert Schuller, a prominent televangelist, and former Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer both helped Yemen Crisis Watch's efforts, according to earlier reporting from the Wall Street Journal and the Topeka Capital-Journal. Neither man has been charged with any wrongdoing”


Great law by US (read as us) rich people

And more:

Trump says he got money from China and Saudi Arabia because he was “doing services” for them
"That's a small amount of money. You know, it sounds like a lot of money. That's small," Trump told Fox News


:wtf: :obscene-birdiered:
Former President Donald Trump defended his businesses accepting payments from foreign governments during a Fox News town hall on Wednesday. The comments came in response to a Jan. 4 report from House Oversight Committee Democrats finding that the former president had received at least $7.8 million in payments from foreign governments, including China and Saudi Arabia, and their controlled entities while in office....

Receiving those payments violated the Constitution, according to the lawmakers. "President Trump never sought or received Congress's approval to keep these foreign payments, as the Constitution requires," the report said....

Yet they're going after Joe for NOT getting any money from anyone :angry-banghead:

I am impressed that he was asked the question or broached the subject on his own.

Jonathan Karl’s new book, "Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party," reveals the backstory around trump’s retribution themed 2024 campaign.

trump - “In 2016, I declared 'I am your voice.' Today I add: 'I am your warrior. I am your justice, and for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution,'"
Bannon told Karl that this was trump’s Retribution Speech and “suggested he read a book about the "Come Retribution" history.”

"What I didn't realize was that 'Come Retribution,' according to some Civil War historians, served as the code words for the Confederate Secret Service's plot to take hostage -- and eventually assassinate -- President Abraham Lincoln," Karl writes.”

“Karl reports that while Trump's team denied any symbolism between the choice of venue and the disastrous, deadly 1993 clash between government agents and the Branch Davidian religious sect, it was no coincidence.”

Hopefully we’re all past giving trump any benefit of doubt based on his track record of tens of thousands of denials.

In the words of Steve Bannon,

”We’re the Trump Davidians

Trump's Latest Odd Brain Boast Has One Whale Of A Plot Twist
The former president bragged about a question the test does not have.


... During a rambling aside with multiple digressions on Wednesday, Trump claimed the test is much harder than the media has made it out to be....

“Then it gets harder and harder and harder,” Trump insisted. “And then it’s multiply 3,293 times 4, divide by 3.”

That doesn’t happen, as can be seen on a sample test here.

Despite Trump’s claim, the test is not supposed to be hard. And it’s not, as he has also repeatedly claimed, a measure of intelligence. It’s designed to look for particular signs of cognitive impairment that can lead to dementia and, as a result, is supposed to be easy for anyone of normal cognitive health....
Is not being able to recall the purpose, methodology and details of the dementia test a sign of dementia?

The fact that he constantly needs to tell people that he’s a stable genius tells you that, deep down, he knows he’s not.

Often times I ask myself what is wrong with this country when the lowest common denominator can gain a cult following of 30%?

Maybe our education system has failed us.

Or the Republican Party has failed our country beginning with the first idiot president saying “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.” And going on to apply Reagan’s moronic cure-all phrase to education, healthcare, civil rights, justice, news media, etc, etc, etc

This hasn't gone viral (yet), but he's got what appears to be a massive bandage on his neck on the left side when you zoom in.

Think he sat through an entire funeral with a makeup shield and nobody told him? You and I wouldn't, but c'mon. :D

There's some mentions, but I just don't think it's been picked up yet.

The funeral was actually on Thursday. More than a day is a long time to go without a national freakout over it -0-? I'm still not able to google anything, but didn't try very hard. Other pics from the funeral don't seem to show a bandage:
