Donald Trump Won.

Good techie piece on why this "gift" plane will cost US taxpayers an absolute fortune to closely security-check and reconfigure to the necessary standards for Air Force One, plus all that work will take at least several years, thereby affecting the timescale for delivering the currently in-process, US-made, AF1 replacements.

So it should be ready just in time for Donnie to finish his 2nd term, i.e. it'll only ever be for his private use (commutes between golf courses) afterwards (assuming the "3rd term" plans don't go through). And he won't have paid a cent.

And what kickbacks has Qatar got / will get in return for this? At the very least it will be additional commitments on crushing the renewable energy industry, at least in the US but probably wider.

But none of this is corrupt. Nosir. Nothing to see here.

One of the most depressing things about America in 2025 is its perfectly acceptable to harass strangers at grocery stores for buying junk food with food stamps in the name of "my tax dollars" but when it comes to this guy burning millions on a gift from Terror Air, a plane he'll probably never use, it's the Art of the Deal.

It all boils down to this:

3 huge announcements to start the week:

-Trump brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan
-Agreement with China for both sides to lower tarriffs. Stock market skyrocketed.
-Secured the release of the last American prisoner by Hamas.

This administration is firing on all cylinders.

Accepted ANOTHER bribe from Saudi terrorists.

You idiot. If Trump ate a lawnmower, you'd call him a genius for opting to get a lawnmower-ectomy.

India disputes Trump’s claim that trade incentives led to the India-Pakistan ceasefire

2. Trump folded and dropped his tariffs. Stock market heading back to what it used to be before the tariffs. Kudos to Trump for restoring the status quo ante.

3. Like the plane, we'll see if they get what they paid for.

It's kind of incredible how he's just selling Biden back to his base, now with the Trump brand stamped on, and they love him for it.

These are endlessly stupid times.

[Sleek]

It's really not incredible...he coasted on Obama's economy until covid, boasting all along about how great it was while somehow gutting the system to supercharge the market...which didn't happen.

I meannnn, the trend is a straight goddam line through here. Trump did not have any effect on it.

If Trump was diagnosed with this, Magas would be blaming the deep state.

They'd be blaming teh jab, which they believe was created by teh deep state.

Here we go! Another plane crash we can blame on Trumpy's gutting of the FAA, this time in San Diego:

Glowing praise of Trump from a beautiful African reporter, for bringing peace to the Congo. He might even get a Nobel Peace Prize for this.

Trump has never done anything benevolent and selfless in his life. It would be a mockery for him to ever be in contention for a Nobel

[Hatchets Molly]

Ever watch Episode 1 of the now-canceled series Dedicated Survivor starring Keifer Sutherland?

That.

There has to be a ton of skeletons in the closet everyone is protecting to have ignorant fealty to that fat orange turd. When he was listening to that African journalist, he could barely keep his eyes open. You know Mike Johnson is a flamer. Everyone is hiding something and if they succeed, I'm sure they've been promised riches, protection, immunity, and more.

There are probably Democrats with skeletons too, but they aren't creating death camps.

Trump is now teeing up to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship for supposedly lying about something or other during his application. Of course his only "crimes" are being brown, popular and a Democrat. But, just like McCarthy, it's the threat that counts.

He’s going to have to go through millions of New Yorkers before those evil fucks will even get within a block of his vicinity. NYers protect their own. I mean this sincerely with no hyperbole.

Yeah, I read some of Mamdani's retorts, and he's not fucking around and he's speaking for the collective NY - not about himself per se. It's easier to pick on migrant workers and POC in lower economic strata. It'll get interesting if he goes directly after people with some level of gravitas.

It would be so funny if the next President would launch an investigation to strip Elon and Melania of their citizenships. This would actually have a chance of success as they both violated visa regulations before becoming citizens.

We here in CA have a love/hate relationship with Gavin Newsome.
While we all love him telling trump to f off, there's some things he needs to be doing here in CA.
First and foremost, having local police departments, arrest these so called ICE agents that are snatching people off the streets like it's Nazi Germany! No warrants, no identifiable uniform, no badges, wearing masks, and no body cams!
This is insane! They have snatched up US citizens, they were told their ID was fake, even a Real ID!

Let Gavin clean up his own backyard before he runs for President.

And unfortunately this is why the hard right keep winning. They might hate Trump, or think he's a moron, but they love power more. And if you love power for its own sake you have no principles anyway. Whereas the futher left you go, the more there are demands for ideological perfection, and potential supporters will shout down or not vote for candidates because of one specific issue. An obvious example is all those people who specifically didn't vote for Kamala because she didn't support Palestine enough, who therefore let in a guy who's in lock-step with Netenyahu and probably wants Gazans to leave or die faster so he can get his new resort built. Newsome as president would have flaws, as did Obama and Clinton, but surely you can see he'd be better than Donald Jr, or Vance, or whichever other snake oil prince eventually gets chosen as St Donnie's annointed successor?
