Anyone else anticipating TACO will soon try to rename a celestial body? Obviously choice is Uranus & of all the things he’s trying to rebrand, I’m least annoyed by the idea Trumpsanus.

This regime believes AI can self-regulate but that doesn’t include what it calls itself… Senile Idiot logic at work.

Every news outlet that has “reporters” asking TACO questions needs to start by asking him why he chopped down these cherry trees. He will lie & that’s the point. Just fucking ask.

For those who want to see ppl in this regime, such as Cabinet members, fired, I pose this question: Can you cite any occasion during this regime, or the first term, where a person who was fired was replaced by someone more competent?

So, just to highlight the absurdity of MAGA senators. They will vote to confirm a person who is actively violating a law they passed as he’s still withholding Epstein documents that by law he’s required to release. Did anyone even bother to ask him about this?

Americans need to wake the fuck up. I see too many ppl use terms like “wannabe dictator,” & “he’s not allowed to do that.” He’s a dictator & a far worse tyrant that King George III ever was. Tyrants don’t follow the rule of law, it’s a job requirement. The state of denial is painful to behold.

Had a somewhat dark thought. If the president is indeed terminal, & if he’s accepted that (that’s a big if), he might orchestrate his death to become a martyr. Him dying hooked up to machines in a hospital doesn’t help him politically or make him look strong; however, a staged assassination might.

If we imposed a 98% wealth tax on trillionaires, & Elon Musk was forced to hand over 98% of his wealth in taxes, he’d be as poor as Rupert Murdoch with $20 Billion & drop to being only the 75th richest person in the world…

TACO claims Iran is losing “four to five hundred million dollars a day,” b/c of the Strait being closed. American use 360-370 Million gallons of gas daily, which has gone up by $1.40 to $1.50 since the start of the war, meaning the Americans are losing between $504 to $629 Million a day.

So, 2 different times during his interview w/ MTP, the president uses “you” & “your” instead of “we” & “our” when discussing the U.S. When talking about the Iran War, he says “you were in Vietnam,” & “you were in Korea.” In talking about U.S. elections, he says, “your elections.”

This! This needs to happen at EVERY American sports event. To every American still attending pro sports events. Enough with the National Anthem. Land of the free? Home of the brace? It’s sounds so ironic & pathetic. Sing this instead if you love your country & oppose tyranny.

Fun historical comparison. Teddy Roosevelt is known for “saving” football by insisting universities make the sport safer. TACO is campaigning to make it more dangerous, ignoring, or unable to understand, the statistics demonstrating why the new kick off rules make the sport safer.

@bds77.bsky.social It occurred to me today that the MAGA voting restriction platform that would mean married women who changed their names would be potentially barred from voting would likewise have disenfranchised our 16th president. Ulysses S. Grant was born Hiram Ulysses Grant… 1/2

They have an interesting point here. If you asked a 5 year old what they’d do as president, there answer would likely be similar to this & putting their name on everything. We really are letting a child lead our entire world into ruin.

“At 250 feet tall, Trump's arch would be the biggest such structure in the world. Asked last fall what this modern-day arch was meant to commemorate, Trump pointed to himself and replied, “Me.”” If Democrats aren’t booking the demolition crews now, what are they even doing.

Can we just agree that asking him questions is useless? On the off chance he understands the question, guaranteed he’ll veer off into something random. Nothing he says is meaningful. “Reporters” would be better served & it’d be far more entertaining if they just asked nutball things…
