A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Trump: It looks like it’s about, uh, was $2.7B is now $3.1B

Powell: I’m not aware of that.

Trump: It just came out

Powell: You just added in a third building

Trump: It’s a building that’s being built

Powell: It was built five years ago.

The video at the link is so great.

This is great. Also, who was president 5 years ago?

This is such a polite way of casting 100 years of shade.

John Oliver nails the ocean of bullshit that is gang designation used to fuck up the entire lives of non-gang members who are simply living their lives while brown.

Bonus 90s Coolio callback that gets the full Oliver treatment.

That was excellent.

And confirms how “rights” are treated with religious reverence unless it’s other people’s rights we’re talking about.

It’s crazy how all the “gang colors” bullshit related to sports teams from when I was growing up is still being trotted out there by these morons. Basically they were full of shit back then and haven’t learned anything or refuse to learn anything in 30 years.

Pretty much fresh off the boat from Limeyland, I was refused entry to Dave & Buster’s for wearing a plain white t-shirt because that was gang colors.

Are you sure they didn’t mistake your white tshirt for your shirtless pasty white Limey skin?

I said, “nice jersey” to some dude in the grocery store parking lot because he was wearing a rainbow gut jersey. In Maryland. He took one look at me and said, “you wanna chill with that, cuate, these colors mean something around here”.

Weird that he would immediately clock you as a member of Croydon’s most terrifying outfit, the CroyBoyz.

Every accusation a confession.

I’d really hoped that this accusation was the exception to the rule, but horrifyingly it is not.

For example: Speaker Johnson was mentored in college by a man who was later convicted of pedophilia. Johnson later “adopted” an adolescent boy from a foster home, kept him for a few years before tossing him aside.

I put “adopted” in quotes because that’s how Johnson described him rocking up to a foster home and simply taking and keeping a boy; no questions, no paperwork, no court permission, nothing.

The secret society of elite pedophiles is real and is running the country. It’s just not liberal elites.

Meanwhile, how’s Donny’s free plane from Qatar coming along? Eh? Oh

Taking funds from the nuclear weapons budget to spruce up a plane that is not needed and will be replaced before it’s even ready. Yep…very Trumpy.

The paint job for the new Qatar Bribe One has been released.

That whole “Epstein thing” isn’t going away.

The survey reveals that only 38% of Republicans approve of Trump’s handling of the Epstein scandal, with 58% disapproving. The survey also shows that 86% of respondents want all Epstein case files released.

An Oklahoma sheriff’s office Monday opened an investigation over reports that images of nude women were displayed on the state’s school superintendent office television during a meeting with education board members.

It doesn’t appear he went full Tubin, but republicans get caught in sex/pedophilia scandals constantly and no one collectively blames them as a group. It’s beyond the point where we should.

Walters, a Republican, has spent much of his first term in office lauding President Donald Trump, feuding with teachers unions and local school superintendents, and trying to end what he describes as “wokeness” in public schools.
