The only reasonable explanation for that amazing hair.

Where do you think "AI" gets the material to generate this shit? It doesn't create it out of nothing, or "imagine" it.

Yeah, I thought that was a given. Is removal from office immediate (upon conviction,) or does the Chief Justice (or someone else) formally "uninaugurate" the soon-to-be-former-President?

Likewise 😄. I should point out that I'm not a constitutional lawyer, or any other kind of lawyer, for that matter. Having had a quick search for constitutional lawyers, perhaps @jamalgreene.bsky.social could weigh in?

My understanding is that he is apparently removed from office immediately upon receiving notice of conviction, so if he refuses to leave someone can simply drag his fat ass out the door.

Signalling the intention to join the Euro would be a serious demonstration of good faith on our part. It would likely make it much more challenging to leave again at some point in the future as well.

A skeet from @bookhisattva.bsky.social that reads "Robert Kraft, that name sounds familiar. Hey, isn't he that Epstein associate who got arrested for soliciting prostitution?!"

Some fifteen hours later, the account @arbazkakkar5.bsky.social post a word-for-word identical skeet.

This isn't the only time this has happened...
