Does anyone else find it ironic that the guy who published a book called 'The Art of the Deal' and who prides himself on his negotiating skills, actually had a guy in his office ready to sign a deal, but then his little tantrum exploded the deal. It was a done deal until "The Deal Artist" exploded.

Boo hoo. Theoretically, it's a dirty tactic that shouldn't be used in American politics, and it's the exact type of tactic Republicans use all the time, so fuck 'em. It's time to play in the dirt where the GOP has been for at least a decade.

The only thing surprising about this is he resigned. Since when do conservatives give a shit about being racist?

My impression of Trump. Ready? Here it goes.
Trump: I'm very tough, and I'm very angry. You will do what I want. You will bow to me like nobody's ever seen before.
Canada and Mexico: Go fuck yourself.
Trump: Okay. Sorry.

I just love this move. It's so rare that an opportunity presents itself to tell red states to go fuck themselves. With due respect (and sympathy) to the sane people in red states, your Trumpy neighbors are why we can't have nice things.

On another note, there's something psychologically fucked up about the entirety of Magaland having to insert the "J" in Trump's name. It's like they think his entire formal name is kingly or something.

Even when Trump tries to act human, and acting is what it is, he can't get it right. His first statement after the air disaster was to ask God to "bless their souls." It wasn't even announced that there were deaths yet, but he's blessing souls?

I'll give credit to Trump for one thing; he is a very consistently terrible human being. And very predictable. It used to be hard to fathom that a US Pres. would start blaming people for a disaster such as this DC air tragedy, but with Trump, we can just count on it.

A Trump supporter complaining about anything Trump does is like a shark devouring a Sumo wrestler and then complaining, "Wasn't a huge fan of his left pinky fingernail. It was a little tough to chew." Give me a fucking break. No Trump supporter is a serious human being. Digest what you swallowed.

Biff Zuckerberg has lost his shit. Apparently, in that squirrelly little, permed-up noggin of his was a Trumpian redass just waiting to pop out. But now that Skeezix Musk has cozied up to Daddy, Biff feels free to let his inner whackado loose.

What kind of a masochist wants to follow Trump that closely...at least on purpose? You could hide in a barn under six feet of hay, and Trump's stupid face and voice will reach you. It's like dipping yourself in honey and thinking you can avoid attracting bees.

I need to engage on this site so I get more familiar with it, and you're my first victim. π What's this "welcome back to Instagram" thing? If you're trying to ween from Zuckerberg, Instagram is his baby too. Probably less Trumpy shit on it though, but I don't know. I've never been on it.

So the weasel that is Zuckerberg decided to abandon that platform's fact checkers. He says that system is too politically biased. Apparently facts are biased in 2025.
