My advice to Republicans whose asses are chafed by this lesson about the First Amendment: Get over it.

If this shit is still sinking up the place in 2028, the Democratic nominee should campaign on the promise that he or she will 86 the fuck out of this bullshit on Day One of their Administration with an Executive Order to End All Executive Orders, nullifying everything that Trump has done, and Stalinesque purging his very name from history, amen.

Certainly, no official portrait. Give him the same one that the Venetian doge who tried some funny business got: a painting of a black shroud. Pity he won't get what was written on that shroud, that the doge was "beheaded for treason."

I saw vid of Republicans saying NO to the slush fund etc last night. They know (as we knew already) Trump doesn't give an F about their re-elections. He should, because if the Dems take the House and the Senate he'll be impeached immediately. Not convicted, but at least impeached.

After we shitcan these MFers forever, I don't want to hear one single Democrat say we need to "move on" to "heal the nation" and not prosecute and punish these thieves and destroyers of our Democracy. I want trials and convictions for everyone in this administration for all of their unconstitutional and criminal acts. People need to go to prison for this. All of them! And all illegally obtained and stolen taxpayer money needs to be paid back. Seize their ill-gotten property and bankrupt all of them! Go after any Congress person and private citizen who benefited financially in any way too! And release the damn Epstein files! Trials and convictions for every person involved in trafficking and abusing these young girls and women.

Bared until the next legitimate president takes office.

Barred now; bared later. It's a hint and an invitation.

OT but related to picture:

SCANDAL! Scandal, I say, in our nice quiet neighborhood.

Now that it's staying light later, Easy and I have resumed our after-dinner walks around the neighborhood. Our neighbor has two rambunctious puppies, brothers, that we pet and give treats to (with his permission). They're about 7 months old, getting tall-ish, and entering that stage where they're starting to feel their oats.

A few nights ago, they *escaped* from their yard (which is fully enclosed with a chain-link fence, and I have NEVER seen the gate open) and *ran away from home*. They got two towns over before they were spotted by someone who, fortunately, knows my neighbor and called him to come pick up his naughty boys.

They are now GROUNDED, and confined to Dumb Baby Jail.

Ta, Gary. That Thing in the Offal Office and all his minions must be STOPPED.

The Racketeer Influence Criminal Organization (RICO) law was enacted just to go after mobsters like Trump. This piece of paper (not a settlement) is prime proof of that.

I just read that the Louisiana Governor was sent by Prez Pedo to Greenland and he offered cookies to the kids to come to Louisiana. Creepy or what!!!!

Tessie's avatar

What's this "cookies" bullshit? They already have cookies in Greenland. What's Greenlandic for "I don't work that cheap, Cletus."

I am somewhat ignorant on this point: can the AG just tell the IRS to not do its job?

ciaobella's avatar

Yes, when the person in charge of the DOJ is a mob lawyer.

Congress could put an end to all of this shit but Holy Speaker Mike hasn’t heard anything about it.

Registering for a corporate retreat thingy and I have to choose a “recreational event,” ugh. Only options left are escape room or waterboarding. Waterboarding it is, then.

Blow it off. Sign up (if you have to) but get off the bus at the first gas station and get a Lyft or Uber home. Claim you felt ill. If they fire you, sue the pants off them.

PuraVida's avatar

I would sign up to escape to my room for the evening.

Surprise twist: waterboarding is their word for surfing.

Once sane adults have control of the government again, Blanche’s lofty pronouncements can simply be overturned notwithstanding their “forever!” claim. That’s the problem with rule by decree: the guy can just declare you full of shit and overturn everything you did. It’s why the two parties have been playing tennis with the Mexico City Policy almost since its inception.

"You wouldn't understand them anyhoo..." (because they are as crooked as the ebola virus).

Seems like if an (acting) AG can sign a letter, a real AG under President (insert your favorite) can just as easily wipe his or her ass with it and shove it down Blanche’s throat. So this seemingly has value only as long as Grampa Assmouth is in office. One more reason he’s going to continue to try to ratfuck every “election” from here out.

Hank Napkin's avatar

(crying, tears running down face) but... (snivels) but he promised us he'd release them as soon as he was in office (sniveling, sneezes, reaches for tissues).

So Trump’s private lawyer and Trump’s acting attorney general, who are somehow the same Todd Blanche-shaped conflict of interest, negotiated a deal where Trump’s government agrees not to investigate Trump’s taxes. That is not a settlement. That is a man robbing the bank, appointing himself security guard, then issuing himself a coupon for emotional damages.

The sacred teaching here is simple: when powerful men demand immunity before transparency, they are not protecting justice. They are hiding the receipts. May the IRS rediscover its spine before the golden calf starts claiming dependents.

He’s got 1,583 of them lined up now.

[sarcastic voice] OOH! CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITS!!

I wish the press would point out the 1776 aspect of the loco fund. I know 1.8 is bigger than 1.776, but it's a completely different story.
