How does this old ass dude have so much goddamn energy? I am in my PRIME and I need naps.
Stimulants. Where do you think Jr. gets it from?
How do I get some and what are they called? 🤣
Most likely ADHD meds. They will keep you up and running for awhile. He will eventually fall to time though, like we all do.

speed, some guy called "Squigz" who you can find under the bridge after 10pm every night.
Squigz is in charge of US drug policy now.
I thought that was Leon's dealer?
Hate.
After reading the article I found it quite amusing the fact he is disappointed his allies have not supported him
That’s how the rest of the world feels
It's surprising how few supporters you get when they aren't allowed to criticise you in any way
What are the chances of him being booted out via 25th Amendment in the next six months?
It might buy JD just enough time to prevent the Republicans being utterly wiped out in the mid-terms...
I will now gaze wistfully into the near distance and contemplate life under the more competent evil.
More competent but significantly less likeable for the bade. Trump slides by with what passes as charisma to stupid people, but vance is such a bitch that I can't imagine them rallying around him.
I hear that, but would also consider the monied interests would like more stability, and would ease the rallying behind Vance... probably.
It will end up like brexit. Most people who voted for him will stay in the sect no matter what. When enough people finally switch to hand power back to the democrats it will be too late to simply reverse most of what Trump did and slow rebuilding will start. If Democrats elect competent leaders they will actually fix things. If not they will just continue working with what Trump left for them (like with Starmer)
and slow rebuilding will start.
And then Democratic voters will get complacent, or get all pissy about how their pet project for change isn't getting enough attention fast enough, and not vote the next time leading to a Republican getting back in office BECAUSE SURELY THAT WILL HELP THEIR FUCKING PRECIOUS INTERESTS. It worked out so~ well this past Fall, didn't it? Nothing at all~ to be concerned about, worried about, uncertain about, or terrified about now.
If Democrats elect competent leaders
Pelosi and Schumer, and all their fanbois (people listening to them even when they aren't in office), would need to go.
Trump has friends?
Trump has any sense of reality?
Will no one rid us of this turbulent moron?
Time will. Just not soon enough.
Trump has friends?
I'd imagine he thinks that other evil rich people and sycophants whose immoral compasses are aligned are his friends, but in reality they're around because it benefits them (or they think it does), and they'd stab him in the back as soon as it benefits them. (It's just that so far it hasn't benefited their morally corrupt causes yet.) So people like the deceased Epstein, and Canadian traitors Kevin O'Leary and Gretzky. AB Premier Danielle Smith wouldn't even be an afterthought of a "friend" in this context, but she's trying so desperately hard to be accepted, it's pathetic.
I'm supposing this dumbfuck really thought he was going to get praise for this?
The problem is that he's been safely ensconced in a bubble his entire fucking life. He's Patient Zero when it comes to rich white failsons failing upwards, FFS.
yeah some progressive senator/rep was saying this was actually 10d chess on trump's part to extract concessions from industries in exchange for tariff relief, and, maybe, but also, you know, there is the other explanation
this was actually 10d chess on trump’s part to extract concessions
It’s called a shakedown. Instead of actually talking to someone, start by threatening them then extract concessions. Best deal maker ever
The only hope I have is a coup.
Impeachment isn't enough
French style coup
Beaucoup de coupes
not according to putin, its working as intended.
attempts to end wars in Gaza
huh?
He probably told Netanyahu to please stop it, it's hurting my PR now, and was shocked when he said no
"Friends": people who agree with whatever you say and laugh at you after the call?
The voices in his dementia-addled brain don't count as "friends".
