Trump 2.0

[Tessa K]

Law won't be taught. That's woke now.

Medicine won't be taught, because it's teachings are against those of RFK Jr.

The only accountancy that will be taught is the creative kind.

It will be those aspects of law that allow Trump and his gang to get away with their crimes. Call it Loophole Law. Same for accountancy.And the laws that allow them to discriminate against and penalize anyone they disapprove of.

Medicine that keeps fat old white rich f.ckers alive will be taught. Also cosmetic surgery.

FTFY, they don't care about folks that aren't rich.

I thought I'd covered that with f.ckers but fair enough.

Nah, there's an intersection but not total overlap.

Dolly Parton is rich, and would probably have been hundreds of millions of dollars richer without her philanthropy.

Many of the January 6th rioters were not rich.

With reference to "Trump and his gang" in the original quote and who they care about, they dont give a f.ck about the rioters, whoe were just useful idiots and canonfodder. Any interest shown in them is pure theatrics to keep such folk on side.

Apparently Trump turned up for precisely 23 mins to his crypto banquet, a few days ago. He stayed a few minutes in the VIP room with the 25 largest $TRUMPetcoin holders, then went into the room with everyone and gave a typical Trump speech. He then left immediately without staying for dinner. The time between the helicopter landing and taking off again was 23 minutes.

One attendee complained that he wasn't expecting pan-fried halibut with a blah-blah reduction he was served, but a Big Mac or pizza or something more Trumpish.

So, amusingly, the people who bought up a lot of $TRUMPetcoin to get access to the president may have been rather disappointed with the very limited access they got. I wonder if he will be able to pull off a similar trick again and make so much money from it.

The identities of the attendees have been concealed behind crypto user names, and many of the formal owners will be corporate rather than individuals and sending a representative. But journalists have spoken to a number of attendees, and a number of others have been identified from people at the arrival gate and from videos posted by attendees or given to journalists. A material number of the attendees who spoke to journalists appear to have been Russian, Chinese, etc. They included Justin Sun, who was indicted for fraud by the SEC, and thus found it convenient to remain outside the USA. But now he is the largest holder of $TRUMPetcoin, and the SEC have been told to "pause" the prosecution, he now feels safe to reenter the country.

And Trump has - unsurprisingly it must be said - lost in the Federal Trade Court on a case which challenged the tariffs he imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. That's not all of the tariffs he has imposed, for example tariffs on specific trade items like aluminium were under different powers, and so not covered in this case. But it covers the general country-by-country tariffs, and the ones specifically related to countries alleged to be assisting the fentanyl trade. There are different reasons for the general country tariffs, and the fentanyl tariffs. But the ruling is that the president exceeded his powers under the act in each case.

The three judges ruled unanimously. One was appointed by Trump, and another by Reagan.

An appeal was immediately posted.

The only redeeming feature of Trump 2.0 is the number of quality memes produced.

Here's a topical song.

Most people are doing it all wrong. We need to stop reacting to every Trump outrage. Giving in only emboldens narcissists to take more steps at emotional control.

Trump showing up for 23 minutes, skipping dinner, and grifting crypto bros is the most on-brand thing imaginable. It’s like if Fyre Festival ran for office.

[headshot]

Trump has shared a Truth claiming that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced with robots and clones.

Far be it from me to suggest they're both lying.

Apparently Elon is now saying Trump is in the Epstein files, which is why those files have not been released.

I'll need to get some popcorn.

It's all falling down:
TSLA stock
Bitcoin

Elon now realising the leopard eating faces thing also applies to him.

Elon now suggesting that the US needs a new political party.

Trump threatening to cut off the huge flows money that flows from the US government to SpaceX and Tesla.

Right wing influencers now talking about impeaching Trump and getting Project 25 boy Vance as POTUS.

Fox News actually airing the Musk’s claims about Trump and Epstein.

If only there was a way for all of them to lose.

Musk allegedly* claiming SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon module**.

* I've seen what's representing a screenshot of a tweet.

** the only US based method for getting people and cargo to the ISS

[bjn]

I don’t think Trump gives two hoots about the ISS

[Chris Preston]

It was only a matter of time. Trump falls out with everyone, because he is the ultimate narcissist.

Filling his cabinet with other narcissists and then insisting they praise him was only going to last so long.

Trump's difficulty is that Musk has enough money and power to make life uncomfortable for Trump.

Some Republican members of Congress have already called for Trump to deport Musk. I would not be surprised to see Trump attempt this, because one of the things you can count on Trump is that he holds grudges.

[bjn]

Musk’s fortunes could easily be destroyed by a vindictive Trump. “Nice autonomous driving system you have there Elon, shame if something were to happen to it? Oh, and considering you were an originally an illegal immigrant, I may have to deport you.”

Just think. Trump found the one person more fragile and erratic than him.

[Grumble]

If this wasn’t happening at the top of the American government I would be enjoying it a whole lot more

[Grumble]

That’s not to say I’m not enjoying it. It’s delicious. But there will be wider fallout I think
