I don't get it?

 

I didn't either until I just checked, thought he was just having some weird dig at Chris Christie and remember him saying that he shouldn't be called a fat pig in the past. Then found this :

Trump called out for ‘fat-shaming’ Chris Christie with AI image of him eating McDonald’s surrounded by drones

So they had a biparisan bill to fund the government, but Musk and Trump said "no" (just as Trump said "no" to the bipartisan bill they were going to pass on border reforms prior to the election).

 

So now they can't get it passed using Republican votes alone.

 

Interesting to watch Trump try to create a de facto unicameral government in the US: he dictates policy and his lackeys in Congress and the Senate pass it or they get primaried (akin to a party leader dictating who gets to run before the fact in our systems).

The second half of his term will be interesting. Once he's on the way out it'll be interesting to see who start to try shift away from him and start to run as a possible successor. 

 

Wonder how long before he tries to get the 2 term maximum overturned

Bannon's already suggested he (drumpf) should get a third term.  And here's me thinking he won in 2020 so this is is third term.

Funny though, when it comes to gun laws, the constitution is sacrosanct.

Trump's cronies are trying to say the two-term rule applies to consecutive terms, not separate terms.  In fact, the 22nd Amendment states "No person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice....", which seems clear enough, but who would bet that Trump's lawyers won't challenge that ?

Having stacked the Supreme court in his favour might see that overturned

He will be on that pretty quickly...." many people have said to me, you should serve a 3rd term.....maybe even a 4th......." he will go for it and these soft cunts will get bullied into it

You kind of forget about it sometimes, how mad it is, that there's essentially someone with the mental aptitude of a four year old spoiled dunce in the White House.

 

Imagine having a time machine and coming froward from 1998, I'd argue the peak of western civilisation. You'd never believe it.

It’s properly batshit. Since 9/11 it’s been headcase central. Obama offered some stability to an extent but even from 2016 onwards the world has been one long dark comedy.
 

I’d say it all really started with Robin Williams passing away. As soon as the world reset a bit from the loss it was a much more evil place. Trump, Johnson, Truss, Putin, Netenyahu etc all with more power than they should ever be afforded. I’d be giving them one aaa battery a time at best.

Donald Trump has appointed Mark Burnett, a British television producer who helped produce Trump’s show The Apprentice, as the US’s special envoy to the UK.

In an announcement on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump hailed 64-year-old Burnett, saying: “With a distinguished career in television production and business, Mark brings a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to this important role.”
