General Trump hilarity free-for-all thread

[Doktor Howl]

So he's not the president any longer, time to unsticky the thread?

I'm gonna give it a week or two for Trump meltdowns, then it goes to the Peanut Farm, seeing as we don't have a hall of fame subforum.

I don't know. Trump's no Dubya. I wouldn't archive it until he's dead or in jail, unless you don't mind pulling it out of the depths a month or three down the line. Also, judging by the Politico reporting on the transition to Biden's team, we might be uncovering Trump habaneros decades from now. He's successfully plugged the fucking administration up, the office for budgeting (name escapes me) isn't even talking to Biden's fucking team, says the transition "is not a priority". It's wild. I've literally /never/ heard of a presidential transition having political bullshit mucking things up.

What he needs now is to be out of the spotlight which he craves.

This thread was at times a high tension, difficult thread. I am amazed and incredibly happy that America pulled it off on righting that mistake, there are those who may not like the means of how the hole in the boat has been plugged, but its possible to work towards better longer term solution now.

Look, the lesson of the era is that it can and will only get funnier. Between upcoming civil and probably criminal lawsuits, random bouts of attention seeking and possible impeachment jazz, this has some legs yet.

Frankly, I don't expect this fun to stop until he is quite dead. And even then, 70/30.

I for one shall refuse to let his name mean anything but scum, long after he's dead.

Yep, it's too soon to take this down.

Donald fires defense team a week before impeachment begins.

What does that put the ex lawyer count at now? Over 10 for sure, over 20 maybe?

When you hit the 15 mark, surely the legal advice you should start getting is just "stop breaking the law, you tit. "

Oh my god. He's still trying to push the election fraud line. He's still trying to do it. Oh my god.

I'm torn between "what a fucking moron" and "this is actually the smart move for him given his loony fucking base".

[Cain]

Yeah, it's completely worthless as a legal defence, but lets be honest, I still don't see the Senate convicting and it sets him up well for the next four years of pretending to be "the real President" at Mar-a-Lago.

Not so much the article, though that will ramp up, possibly severely depending on how the trial goes and its conclusion.

What struck me here is that you can literally replace "trump" with "corrupt" or a minor variation as appropriate and it still reads perfectly well. Then it hit me you could probably do the same for johnson/tories/anyone with power right now and it's going to be pretty accurate.


I'm also now ashamed at how long it has taken to notice this. There's probably at least some personal mileage in replacing a few proper nouns with concepts.

I think they just mean "white folks".

Well that's boring. Wessex LARP or go home.
