Trump's Second Term

[P.J. Denyer]

If anyone is wondering why the leader of NATO called him daddy , it's because people have figured out the best way to get him to agree with you.

Tell that to Eric..

I see he still doesn't understand how tariffs work.

FTFY

Presidents are not kings, but I'm all down for Trump channeling Valentinian I!

I'm all for him emulating King Charles, and not the current one.

Trump: "Enrichment doesn't mean, like, air conditioning, and it doesn't mean to jack up your car. Enrichment is a bad word."

Ironic from a man who's devoted two presidencies to the 'self' version of it.

Trump: "We're doing coal. I don't want windmills destroying our place. I don't want these solar things where they go for miles and they cover up half a mountain and they're ugly as hell."

You'd think he'd have more sympathy for things that are ugly as hell.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

It's my medical opinion that Trump will never suffer from hemaroids. God made him the perfect arsehole.

Markwayne Mullin on Elon Musk saying Trump's bill is "political suicide": "He just doesn't know. And so I have to disregard that."

Welker responds by pointing out to Mullin that not long ago he called Musk "the best entrepreneur we've ever had in our lifetime."

These people don't even try to be honest.

BARTIROMO: You tweeted that Democrats leaked intelligence

TRUMP: They should be prosecuted

BARTIROMO: Who specifically?

TRUMP: We can find out. You go up and tell the reporter, 'national security, who gave it?' You have to do that. And I suspect we'll be doing things like that.

Maybe it's just me, but it sure seems like the "find out" part should come before saying that "they" (Democrats) should be prosecuted for leaking intelligence. But I suppose that as long as Trump can use the nebulous, CTist "they" to keep his acolytes hooked, he will never need (or want) to be any more specific in giving MAGA an enemy to fear and hate.

Schitler: "Windmills are bad because they blow cold air on the coal and then the coal won't burn."

The Big Beautiful Bill: massive tax cuts without reducing spending in proportion. Even Elon Musk is troubled.

Concerning if true.

Coal plants, slag heaps, and fly ash pits are so beautiful.

Coal plants, slag heaps, and fly ash pits are so beautiful.

At least waste hydrocarbons don't cause cancer like.. [Checks Notes] the sound of windmills.

Mr Japan.

Trump: I'm going to send letters, that's the end of the trade deal. I could send one to Japan.
Dear Mr. Japan, here's the story. You're going to pay a 25% tariff on your cars, you know? So we give Japan no cars. They won't take our cars.

The top of a mountain, or the rock and coal rubble you get from mountaintop removal mining?

Mr Japan? Is this like a 'Tim Apple' thing?

He's called Mr. Roboto, not Mr. Japan!

Ah yes nothing more beautiful than an open cast coal mine and acid rain.

Off the top of my head I can think of at least three good reasons why Japan wouldn't buy American cars. Do you think Trump could understand any of them?

Adds a whole new meaning to "Peak Coal".

On the US consequences of Trumps actions.

A sprawling budget bill in the US Senate could cut health insurance coverage for nearly 12 million Americans and add $3.3tn (£2.4tn) in debt, according to new estimates.

Trump's budget: Nearly 12 million estimated to lose health coverage, says CBO

The spending plan could also add nearly $3.3tn (£2.4tn) in debt, according to non-partisan analysis.
