Any man who must say "I am the king" is no true king.
-Tywin Lannister
Let's be real, Trump is too poor to be the president of an oligarchy.
He's tied with six other people for the 319th spot on the list of the 400 wealthiest people in the US. Pathetic.
That got him above Tay Tay?
We all know that ain't true.
soon as donvict kicks him out of the clubhouse, old spice goes and buys congress (for basically sofa cushion change) to derail everything.
hmmmmmm.
You know what a true leader doesn’t have to do?
Tap for spoiler
Affirm their position as leader.
Lol. I hope these fat bitches just spend their time arguing to death and not doing shit.
old spice might not even make it til donvict is crowned.
House Republicans are now drafting an alternative funding plan to align with Trump’s demands, excluding a debt ceiling increase.
Reporters should ask if this alternative bill has been run by Musk for his approval first or if Musk has delegated this bill to Trump to deal with.
I wish we still had those types of reporters. I get that if they say something off base they'll be doing local news spots for the rest of their career. But I wish they'd push back sometimes.
Musk and Trump in an ego battle is a considerably better outcome to all this batshittery versus many other possibilities.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
