US Politics Thread

“We ask that the trial be moved to Florida because of the unprecedented and wholly dangerous precedent of allowing the case against the former President to be presided over by an appointee of his predecessor. Former President Trump will only get a fair trial if he has an unbiased jury of his Mara Largo residents or family members and a judge appointed straight out of the Federalist combine. Justice must prevail!”

— Trump’s Legal team in response to the indictment (consisting of one second year online university pre-law student, two former southern AGs currently indicted for fraud and embezzlement, and a dog that suspiciously only barks at black people)

That's my dog I reckon. Little shit is only getting dry food for the next while so.

Pence sitting on the fence like a creepy Keir Starmer.

Do you mean he's presuming Trump is innocent till proved guilty?

He's a flight risk at this point.

That would be an elegant solution.

I think on a ranked list of people who are likely to wake up, Trump fans feature somewhere between Rip Van Winkle and the withered corpse of Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

Of all the dead people why Boutros Boutros-Ghali?

It’s a great question. It was originally Thatcher, but I thought with Rip Van Winkle earlier in the sentence I needed somebody with an equally comical name to balance it out.

America credit rating downgraded.

No smart person on Wall Street thinks this call makes a lick of sense. Not even less smart people think it makes sense.

Of all the things he didn’t do, this is the one he didn’t do the most.

That and you can't quite be sure with Thatcher. There's a bit in the book of revelations that probably refers to it coming back, along with the Sibylline Oracles and the book of Enoch.

"I hear from people who say...". Straight out of Trump's playbook, "People are saying that...", "People tell me that..." and "I'm hearing that...". Just a prelude to more bullshit.

Any American that tries to overthrow an election result, yes.
