That’s his next hat.

MAGA can’t hold him accountable for anything!

;-)

The women said “They twisted it to make it seem as if we admitted that we wanted to work illegally in the US.”

Considering he eats nothing but McDonalds, I’m guessing he’s a world champion shitter.

Plus there was that whole “soiling himself in court” incident.

Not sure what he thought would happen when an electric car manufacturer aligned with the “we love fossil fuels” party.

Saw a great take earlier on another website.

The guy who said he was going to “cure us of the woke mind virus” is now saying he’s getting out of politics because “people were being mean to him.”

The irony.

Both say they were handcuffed and sent to a detention center, which they claimed was more like a prison.

“We were searched with metal detectors, our entire bodies were scanned, and we had to stand naked in front of the police officers and were looked through,” Pohl said. “Then we were given green prison clothes and put in a prison cell with serious criminals.”

Among them was someone who had spent 18 years behind bars for murder, the women said, and they were left sleeping in a double cell with tiny barred windows and metal bunks with moldy mattresses.

I really want to know what changed that made the above happen much more often.

In December, if Customs had concerns about two teenagers trying to sneak into the US to work on a travel visa, where did they go? How was it handled? Because it feels like overkill and probably much more expensive than what we used to do.

Why are we sending backpacking teenagers with visa concerns to the same place as a murderer?

Why are they being strip searched like they were drug smugglers?

But the women — who were planning to continue on to Los Angeles and then Costa Rica after Hawaii — insisted they were interrogated by CBP for hours, and that transcripts show their words were “twisted” and outright falsified.

“They contained sentences we didn’t actually say,” Pohl said of interrogation transcripts they were sent home with.

“They twisted it to make it seem as if we admitted that we wanted to work illegally in the US,” she told the German outlet Ostee Zeitung.

And then this feels like the after-the-fact coverup. Whatever they held them on was super flimsy, so they tried to make it sound worse when they realized this was going to hit the news.

Hmm - I have a Pixel as well. I’ve been blocking / reporting but they seem to come from tons of different phone numbers. And for some reason the Pixel lets them leave a voice mail if they’re blocked / known spam.

they why lie about your height, weight and health?

There were two telling things for me in the coverage.

First, it was always “thousands” of people at the event. Not tens of thousands like in Boston. Not something on the order of 100,000 or more in NYC (it stretched for 20 BLOCKS). All over the media “thousands” of protesters. Not “millions attend Anti-Trump rallies across US cities” like the National Post wrote.

The coverage tried to make it sound like this was 1,200 mostly insignificant protests across the country.

Second, most of the news websites weren’t covering it live. And when it finally made the front page later that day or the next morning, it was 2/3/4 stories down.

Now … compare that to what happened in South Korea. Yes, a very different ballgame, but it was halfway across the world and ALL of the news media were treating it as breaking news and halting all other coverage.

That protest had about 1 million people.

Our protests had about 5,000,000 people across the country.

It should have been covered as a much bigger deal.

I really hope some of the non-MAGA Republicans in the House and Senate start to realize their careers might be over if they don’t do something. People aren’t going to forget. And once Trump is out of the picture, they don’t have anybody else with an iota of whatever qualities make people listen/like/follow/adore him.

Lock. Them. Up.

Imagine that. You have unqualified amateurs in important government positions, and they don’t know what they’re doing.

His ‘we’ll wait until he gets to a 40% approval rating’ comment speaks worlds to me.

I think the problem right now is a lot of democrats (and non-MAGA republicans) are still acting like this is business as usual. And don’t fully recognize that this is an assault on democracy.

We need leaders. Not politicians.

Just another example of how the Democratic party is only slightly less fucked than the Republicans.

My wife bought one of these pieces of shit before we got together. A few months back I finally got to the point where I had the “honey we need to throw out your printer and get a new one.”

“OK - should we give it to my sister or see if any of our friends want this?”

“I’m not sure I dislike any of your friends or family enough to inflict this much frustration on them.”

Yup. The whole thing is a ruse to get rid of Income Tax in favor of Tariffs, which will essentially act as a national sales tax.

And this, my friends, are why tariffs are dumb.

And let’s not forget they can now spend $5 million of that on a “golden visa” to become legal US residents on the path to citizenship.

Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more embarrassed being an American.

This is a great window into how Trump, Vance and MAGA do business.

Bully. Yell. Lie. Threaten.
