If you can keep from laughing your arse off at the latest shenanigans from the mob boss, you’ll be able to handle that cranky, deranged yet lovable relative in short order.
The man-child has lost all his marbles.
Trump Suggests Executing Democrats Over Message to Troops – newrepublic.com
On Tuesday, multiple congressional Democrats made a video reminding the members of the military and intelligence community of their duty to the Constitution, not to President Trump. On Thursday, Trump called them “TRAITORS” and shared a post calling for them to be executed.
The fairly milquetoast video that drew Trump’s outrage featured Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan—all former military or intelligence veterans.
“This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home,” the Democrats said. “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.
The clip set Trump and MAGA off.
“This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT.”
“HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!” read another post retruthed by Trump.
The person who posted that had a “deus vult” profile picture, a symbol commonly associated with the neo-Nazi movement.
“Get these people out of office!! They aren’t doing their jobs, they are looking for ways to be rebels, and take others with them. They need to go!!!” yet another said.
“Why aren’t they under arrest for sedition……thrown out of their offices…ENOUGH IS ENOUGH…” read another.
Okay, that’s enough grandpa! Time to come to the crafts room now as we’ll be making hand turkeys and construction paper snowmen. If you’re good, you might even get some tapioca pudding before bedtime.
And bring your press secretary with you too.
Karoline Leavitt Says Trump’s “Piggy” Insult Is a Sign of Respect – newrepublic.com
During a press briefing, Leavitt was asked to explain what the president meant when he said, “Quiet, piggy” to Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey earlier this week. Lucey had asked him a question about Jeffrey Epstein while on Air Force One.
Presenting her own wild spin, Leavitt claimed Trump’s crude and sexist comment was him being “frank and open” with the press, and an example of behavior that was “a lot more respectful” than that of the previous administration.
Prepare for the execution of gray cells in your brain:
“So, I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces, rather than hiding behind your backs, is frankly a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration, when you had a president that lied to your face and then didn’t speak to you for weeks, and hid upstairs and didn’t take your questions,” Leavitt said. “So I think everyone in this room should appreciate the frankness and the openness that you get from President Trump on a near daily basis.”
