Who else should visit Trump to boost their numbers?

I'd say a joint summit with Claudia Sheinbaum and Mark Carney. We want both of those leaders to have huge support; plus, it would give Trump the opportunity to be a Double Big Dick in one fell swoop of a meeting.

And as an extra bonus for Trump he gets to be an ass to a smart, strong woman. He is so stupid he never seems to realize how that assclown behaviour backfires on him internationally.

And one of these days it may backfire on him, immediately. I hope I'm alive to witness him getting chewed up and spit out by a fearless powerful female. Of course, his MAGAt fans eat it up and that seems to be for whom he is performing.

TL Mills, you beat me to saying that he’s an ass. But according to Stormy, Melania, and some of Epstein’s girlfriends, Trump isn’t much of a dick despite what TBR said. So I think your description of him is right on. I would only add that he’s probably the biggest, most disgusting asshole in the history of our country! 🤮 86/47!

Yes! A powerfully attractive woman who knows him for the lying, narcissistic personality disordered sex abuser that he is, will collaborate with a powerfully clever author with a penchant for the macabre plot line, to entrap him in a humiliatingly public sting operation so abhorrent that even his billionaire backers ghost him. I’m thinking Carl Hiassen to write the script, Taylor Swift to play the double agent, and Bruce Springteen for the resounding musical score for this epic takedown. Other suggestions??

During tRump's last regime, Canada's Chrystia Freeland was the lead trade negotiator. He thought she was a Nasty Woman. But later said it was a Big Beautiful success. With the Mexican leader, he backed off some of the tariff rubbish after she basically told him to f--off. Seems that he likes dominance and submission.

You are right. But I have seen one adorable shark - on The Zoo (the Bronx Zoo TV program). It was a badly deformed sand tiger shark who was a real fighter/survivor. She has changed my attitude toward sharks completely. I've actually snorkeled with sharks in Bora Bora, and they were just part of the wildlife I think sharks in general are much maligned and misunderstood. Unfortunately their name has been used inappropriately, like with loan sharks. From what i've seen they are not nasty animals.

I've never understood why, in any Presidential campaign, the good candidate runs against the bad candidate, instead of against the bad political party. It's not like "hands off" has produced any dividends for democracy in the last 16 years.

Any notion that Republicans in Congress are free and not slaves is absurd, and we can demonstrate it. Make Republican synonymous with disaster and betrayal - not make, but say it and keep saying it, with pictures, testimonials, and charts to bedazzle. Say it loud and long. Say it undeviatingly.

I'd want to workshop the idea that the Democrats campaign against the Republican Party nationally, without necessity of naming any Congressmook or Senate mope. Is there a rule written or unwritten against a national campaign to destroy the parties who carry out the dictator's orders? Certainly, a campaign against Republican actions and policies would be issue-focused, thus infinitely fundable.

They've handed us enough issues. There will come a time when this is not only feasible, but necessary. Broad, not deeply targeted; national issues, not local.

Yes! First Zelensky, then Carney and now Ramaphosa....tRump is on a roll!! Although I think he was openly critical of Mexico's president too, wasn't he? I just can't keep track of all the important people he has insulted....

since tRump really wants the flying palace plane now, he could immediately step down as president, and have his plane tomorrow....I'm sure the TBR group will pony up fuel for a one way trip to Moscow in time for his birthday parade

Make America Happy Again!

“It could require years to fit with additional security systems and upgrades required to carry the president - including the ability to withstand the electromagnetic pulse from a nuclear blast, and to refuel mid-flight.

Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Defense and Security Department, says the costs of such retrofitting could easily run to $1bn (£750m).

The US Constitution has a provision known as the Emoluments Clause, which prohibits gifts to public officials from foreign governments without permission of Congress. The transfer has not received congressional approval.”

Congress has not given its consent that so he can accept the Qatari plane as a 'personal gift'. Until it does then it is a gift to the United States.

The Air Force will have let a contract with Boeing to outfit the plane to AF1 standards. Plus disinfect it for bugs. That means big money for Boeing (>$1B) and stripping it down the bones.

Meanwhile, Boeing has two 747-8 planes to compete to be the replacements for the current AF1 fleet. That has been delayed till 2027-2028. So those must be completed first.

So it might be never completed for him to fly in as president. The Air Force could keep the plane in its Arizona boneyard for replacement parts for the new AF1 fleet. And sell the gold trimming.

They should sit around and do nothing with it, and save the billion dollars, and when he goes to pick it up, tell him they’re waiting for parts.

The Air Force should take it apart first looking for bugs. Leak information about bugs found. And not put it back together again. Then use it for spare parts.

Ramaphosa was really born in the borough of Queens, on the wrong side of the Long Island Railroad.
