Donny, are you ok?

Sounds questionable. Wonder has this babe came up with this?

[O Really]

Sounds questionable. Wonder has this babe came up with this?

The fact that the story is even conceivable to possibly maybe be true is evidence of how much of a loose cannon Trump is.

That is quite a stretch, but reflects a good imagination.

[O Really]

What's a stretch? I didn't make up the article and I didn't only imagine that some people believe it. I'm saying that everybodys reaction to that should have been "that's ridiculous - not even National Enquirer worthy. But because of other stuff Trump's done, we have to stop and say " is this real? "

So true.

"this babe" who SoupySales refers to is presumably Kate from Kharkiv, but she merely links, quotes and highlights an article from The Telegraph. Kate from Kharkiv clearly has NOT "came up with this". Would SoupySales have posted "Sounds questionable" if he was paying enough attention to see the source is a well-established, very conservative newspaper?

Will Trump actually honor Gloria Gaynor for her contribution to gay pride?

"I Will Survive," by Gloria Gaynor, is widely recognized as a gay anthem due to its powerful message of resilience and survival, resonating deeply with the LGBTQ+ community. The song's themes of overcoming adversity and finding strength after heartbreak have made it a staple at Pride events and a source of empowerment for many, especially during the AIDS crisis.
Here's why "I Will Survive" is considered a gay anthem:
Themes of resilience and survival:
The lyrics, while not explicitly about sexual orientation, speak to the experience of overcoming hardship and finding strength, which resonated with LGBTQ+ individuals facing discrimination and societal challenges.
Embraced during the AIDS crisis:
The song gained prominence during the 1980s, a time when the LGBTQ+ community was grappling with the devastating AIDS epidemic. It became a source of comfort, hope, and solidarity for those experiencing loss and fear.
Ubiquitous at Pride events:
"I Will Survive" is a staple at Pride celebrations worldwide, a testament to its enduring popularity and its significance as an anthem of LGBTQ+ pride and resilience.
Cultural and historical significance:
The Library of Congress recognized the song's cultural, historical, and artistic significance by adding it to the National Recording Registry in 2016.
Drag performances:
The song is a favorite among drag performers, who often incorporate it into their acts, further cementing its status as a gay anthem.
In essence, "I Will Survive" transcends its initial purpose as a disco hit to become a powerful symbol of LGBTQ+ identity, resilience, and the ongoing fight for equality

Excellent essay, thanks. Dementia Donny will ignore it, perhaps not even mentioning the song.

KISS Members Who Once Referred to Donald Trump As a ‘True Danger to Democracy’ React to Kennedy Center Honor: ‘Deeply Honored’

KISS took the high road, not even mentioning DonOLD's involvement with the selection process. Fine with me, we get to read their past comments:

... The band turned down a reported invitation to play Trump’s first inauguration and by the time Trump lost his second bid for office to President Joe Biden in 2020, Simmons had a very different view. “I knew him before he entered politics. Look what that gentleman did to this country and the polarization – got all the cockroaches to rise to the top. Once upon a time, you were embarrassed to be publicly racist and out there with conspiracy theories. Now it’s all out in the open because he allowed it,” Simmons said to Spin in May 2022.

Simmons told the magazine that the two knew each other before the Apprentice from hanging around the same nightclubs, but that being president is a very different job than hosting a game show. “You have a different responsibility when you’re just a citizen or an entrepreneur. You don’t make policy,” he said. “It doesn’t affect life and death. When you get into a position of power, it does affect lives. I don’t think he’s a Republican or a Democrat. He’s out for himself, any way you can get there. And in the last election, over 70 million people bought it hook, line and sinker.”

Similarly, Stanley tweeted in Jan. 2021 that Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the previous year’s election loss was “ABHORRENT. A true danger to our democracy. The issue isn’t that it WON’T work. It’s Mob Boss behavior and politicians putting party over audits, investigations, court rulings & COUNTRY in an effort to overrule the will of American voters.”

Stanley also referred to the violent horde of Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 as “TERRORISTS,” calling the assault an “armed insurrection” by a mob who were all pardoned when Trump took office again earlier this year. The singer also noted back then that the “flames were fanned today & over time by the president [Trump] & specific senators who CANNOT be allowed now to distance from or denounce what they have directly caused. Know their names. THIS is the result of their deception. Shame.” ...

Shame, indeed.

Simmons has said other disparaging things, as I quoted:

Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."

Article

Not many people know this but if you confuse the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) screening tool with an IQ test your IQ score is just listed as "FAIL".

Trump conflating a competency test with an IQ test. Also, worth pointing out that Trump is always most obsessed with IQ when he's talking about women of color

AOC graduated cum laude with duel-degrees in economics and international relations.

Crockett has a law degree and passed the bar.

calling them low IQ is laughable.

He aced that test like he “wins” those tournaments at his personal golf courses.

Brian Tyler Cohen

I know this isn't the point, but if AOC and Trump both took the same IQ test, it would be the most humiliating day of Trump's entire life.

Trump never took an IQ test. He took a dementia screening test. I would really love to see him take a real IQ test though, one that we all could see, not just his retelling of how he "aced it"

Just the most powerful man in the world demonstrating he doesn’t know the difference between a cognitive decline assessment and an IQ test.

Dear Lord, the moron doesn't even know the difference between a cognitive ability test and an IQ test! We are so screwed.

Mr. Hair
@DonaldsHair2012
(all we are is dust in the wind. just because i am the rug on top of his head does not mean i stand with him. i hate the mofo!)

let's set it up so that AOC, Crockett, and tRump all take the same basic citizenship civics test that all immigrants who want to become citizens need to take and let's see who aces it. i have a good feeling which one of the three would do poorly and then claimed it was rigged.

Good idea, more relevant for public servants than an IQ test.

Let's be clear: AOC and Jasmine Crockett can run warp-speed intellectual rings around this idiot.

Please please please have both AOC and Donald Trump take the same IQ test, and please please please release the results. I will make a bet with anyone that AOC scores higher.

Lots of other intelligent posts at the link.

Donald Trump's Sylvester Stallone Announcement Takes Aggravating Turn For Many
Critics punched back at the president's intro for the "Rocky" star as a Kennedy Center honoree.

Donald Trump on Wednesday announced “Rocky” star Sylvester Stallone as a Kennedy Center honoree, but the president made the presentation all about himself, observers complained.

“Sly is a pillar of ... American popular culture and a Hollywood superstar like few others and one of the biggest names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” Trump began normally enough.

Then his vanity took over....

Aren’t we lucky to have such a humble president…

Trump’s star, incidentally, has been vandalized multiple times....

Stallone is firmly in the president’s corner and last year described him as the “second George Washington.” ...

Me, Me, ME! It's all about ME!

It reeks of desperation.

Richard Staple, BSN, RN

This guy just can’t help not kissing his own ass for one minute

“You’re on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? So is Mickey Mouse and Shrek, Don. It’s not exactly MENSA.”

“You're not a star. You’re a biohazard tile people step over while looking for real names.”

This moron has to make everything about himself. How sad. What a sad human being.
