If it is a proxy war, how the heck did Biden persuade Putin to play along by invading Ukraine?

JCfromNC's avatar

Oh, the peace-loving Russia peoples do not want war! No, no! Warmongering USA has persuaded rouge Ukrainian elements to resist their people's desire to become one with Mother Russia again, so that they can wage war against poor innocent Russians, from behind a curtain of duped Ukrainians. /s

Dear GOP

We find that we are unable to accommodate your convention at this time. Perhaps a city in TX or FL would be better able to handle your request. Sorry. Our bad.

Yours

City of Milwaukee

🙏Please send them to FL in July. Give them a little taste of where little Donny Fuckface at the very least, and many of his good friends, may be headed.

I can't wait to hear about Republican tears and right wing media lies over the 10-year "bilateral" security agreement. Actually, I won't wait - but you can be sure the shitstorm is coming

O_o- what is Donnie's daddy Vlad going to say about this?

Hemp Dogbane's avatar

Scanning the tractor radio this morning I picked up one of the Jesus stations from just over the southern border* and their top news story was "Trump's triumphant return to Washington, D.C."

* that would be the Minnesota-Iowa border.

Nah, he'd immediately be trampled by the exiting flock of MAGAts.

Gammarae's avatar

holy crap, that was the precise phrase that was used on my public radio classical station this evening. it said something else that i thought was probably written by Heritage, or some deranged R.

Emil Muz's avatar

probably AP copy.

It's mind-blowingly annoying when one is looking through news coverage from supposedly top level outlets and 30 stories have the identical headline. It's laziness of the highest order.

Laziness? I say corruption

Donald Trump went to the US Capitol to rally congressional Republicans in his first visit since 6 January 2021, when his supporters descended on the building in an effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in Trump’s favour.

A packed room full of House Republicans sang Happy Birthday to Trump, who turns 78 on Friday.

Forbes reports trump is moving monies from his campaign to help cover operating cost/losses of his failed empire. He's falsifying business records while being on probation for that very crime. Not much of a lesson learner is our PAB. This should seal the jail deal at sentencing ... but it probably won't.

Brando's avatar

Considering this likely violates election laws and laws against fraud, why the fuck don't we have a special counsel on this?

Oh right, Garland has decided that it isn't against the law to break the law. Unless you're a Democrat.

BillEGoatSmile's avatar

Maybe Tish James could file another civil lawsuit, also too. Her prior case also has Judge Barbara Jones and another person as the financial monitors of his business, and I guess I'll assume that that hasn't stopped just because the matter is going up on appeal.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Ha! That rag really knows how to sink a shiv at just the right moment.

You hate to see it.

Wow, I managed to type that and not laugh so hard that my buttocks jettisoned themselves into orbit around Neptune.

Dirty-Work's avatar

And Merchan doesn't need Forbes claim to go through a court of law. He owns trump's ass and if he believed the report to be accurate, he could come down with both feet.

Apparently not.

I hear they have some really authentic Italian restaurants in Fasano.

Elviouslyqueer's avatar

Maybe, but they're no Olive Garden.

I like Vergogna, but I always feel bad after I eat there.

You can tell the good ones. Lots of Italian people in them.

No one ever invites me to the G7. Just as well, my tux is at the tailor's.

The fucking Pope got an invite and the last time I checked there is no Industry at all in Vatican City.

Emil Muz's avatar

I would argue that "industrialized" nations means those that make things. Tourism is an economic sector, in my jangled pedantic brain.

Dirty-Work's avatar

OT: trump has yet to donate a cent to his own campaign from his presidential campaign coffers, but his businesses have charged it $4.6 million, Forbes reported Wednesday.

Keep sending money you dupes!

Brando's avatar

Originally his entire purpose for running for office was to scam money out of people--he even alluded to it decades earlier that he could be the only candidate to ever make money running for office.

Then the dipshits elected the motherfucker and we've been paying for it ever since.

swmnguy's avatar

And yet, even with all that, he's still pissing away two cents for every one he brings in.

For all the guy pretends he's rich, he reacts to money as if Superman were addicted to Kryptonite.

Revenant's avatar

how do you think that moron managed to run, what, two? three? casinos into bankruptcy? everything he puts one of his baby digits on crashes and burns, while he walks away, counting his money, and thinking "What a good boy am I"

Brando's avatar

Some people, even those born with all the advantages, are just absolutely shitty with money. These are their stories.

Emil Muz's avatar

swmnguy's avatar

Most of those people, however, have enough of a glimmer of self-awareness to hire somebody else to manage their money, and call them once a year to see how it's going.

Brando's avatar

But why do that when you're a Very Special Boy who has always been told you're a stable genius?

swmnguy's avatar

Well, there's a pricetag associated with that. And a very high "burn rate."

Notreelyhelping's avatar

Honestly, Superman’s a little nervous about these newfangled kryptonite-hardened machine gun rounds.

swmnguy's avatar

Didn't he used to say he would self-finance his campaign in 2016, as proof he couldn't be bought?

Yeah, that was a nice day, when he was saying that in like, June of 2015.

Pauly2coffees's avatar

He also said that he donated his salary as president, but I have yet to see any proof of that.

Chemical's avatar

It's all tied up in criminal defense lawyers

Dirty-Work's avatar

This sounds like a separate rip-off. He's funding day to day business expenses with his Bubba Bucks.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

I love how, out of the constellation of rich assholes, Forbes has had it out for him for years.

Edith Prickly's avatar

Think Forbes is a little salty about the felon lying his way onto the 400 list for so long?

swmnguy's avatar

Yes.

The truly rich really hate jumped-up frauds like Trump. They'll let them join the club as long as they pay the bills for everyone else. But a guy like Trump, who never pays even his own bills? No way they'll let him in.

That's why he has it in for the NFL. They wouldn't let him buy the Buffalo Bills without showing his financial records, and he wouldn't do it because they'd know immediately he was full of shit.

Trump joins the long list of people who presumably had to read "The Great Gatsby" in high school, and never understood what the book was saying.

Brando's avatar

Why would anyone, even a rich person, want anything to do with a guy who is just going to try and rip them off? He's also just an unpleasant person.

The only reason anyone associates with him is if they think they're in on the grift (narrator--they're not in on the grift, they're his victims).

swmnguy's avatar

That's it.

As the old saying has it, if you can't tell who is the sucker at the table, it's probably you.

Daniel's avatar

That's why I stopped playing patience.

Rhand Holm's avatar

I thought The Great Gatsby's moral was crime pays but infidelity can kill you.

swmnguy's avatar

You could take that from it. And Trump never seems to have understood that, either.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Which is why it’s brilliant that Mary Trump called her book “Too Much And Never Enough.”

Edith Prickly's avatar

I'm not convinced the felon did any of his own work in high school. His older sister did a lot of it for him.

swmnguy's avatar

Which would be part of the reason he's never learned that just saying you have a lot of money doesn't mean you do; and also that just having a lot of money doesn't mean you're in the upper-class Elite. There are some broke-ass people who are in The Club, and Trump isn't and he and his spawn will never be.

That chaps his ass something fierce, because he has no internal source of self-esteem.

Edith Prickly's avatar

He knows he's a complete fraud. That's why it's so easy to set him off by telling the truth.

Daniel's avatar

Which is also so gloriously fucking petty it's hilarious.

Prissy little score keeping rich boys getting pissed off because he lied to get onto their list.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Far as I know, aside from Spy and the late Wayne Barrett of The Village Voice, Forbes was the first to see through his bullshit and call him out over it.

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

You read this and you just can't understand how any SENTIENT FUCKING CREATURE IN THE US can miss the fact HE'S RIPPING YOU OFF!

Fifth Dentist's avatar

He's just a smart businessman!

And you're just jealous! You wish people would send you hundreds of millions of dollars for being a pus-oozing postule on America's ass and then not paying any taxes on it, don't you, libt*rd?

MRK's avatar

They know he's ripping them off. They believe everyone is ripping them off, at least they get something out of it here, even if that something is just free reign to be their worst selves.

Edith Prickly's avatar

The payoff is they get to force him on the rest of us.

swmnguy's avatar

They figure their already-accumulated wealth will cushion them from the crash, and the crash will take out everyone else not quite as rich as they are.

Dirty-Work's avatar

It's a form of martyrdom.

I’m having my own G7 with Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kid Rock, Laura Loomer, and these two rappers charged with attempted murder. It’s gonna be so great. Best G7 you ever seen. We’re gonna have sharks and boats. And Hannibal Lecter will be there. It’s gonna be Tremendous. Believe me.

Throw in Daddy Vladdy and Andrew Tate, and you've got a G9, which is two better than a G7!

Daniel's avatar

Ron and Simon, love them both but both very famous for very, some would say, very different ways. You know there's Ron who did the he's done a very good job of being his dad's son, I think everybody would say that, but he's done a great job, but then there's or even you know he's done a great job of being his dad. His dad. I think that's a great achievement, imagine that, because you see him in Senates now and he's he doesn't look old enough. But he's great, really a terrific, terrific- I think there was even time travel involved in that. But that's it's pretty amazing. People say "oh, Back To The Future was so" and you couldn't have it now because of the woke, but Ron is proof that there's really and it's all you need, you see it.

And then there's Simon, and his songs they really mean they're very good songs about about Elvis I guess, and we love we love "bright eyes" don't we folks? Burning like fire, like the riots in our once great country that burned down many of our most secondary and most middling cities. It was disgusting.

It's well known that convicted felon grifters hate Milwaukee, especially if they're in danger of being served with an election fraud indictment if they go there.
