Trump Damns The Torpedoes

Avatar photoby

With unhinged holiday threats condemning his foes “to hell” the former president taunts courts, provokes violence and shows he will stop at nothing to retake power.

The greatest danger is to normalize and accept Trump’s sociopathic behavior.

Trump’s hardly festive Christmas day message on his own social media site began with “Merry Christmas to all, including Crooked Joe Biden’s ONLY HOPE, Deranged Jack Smith” but ended with “MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!” (Dec 25, 2023, 2:38 PM)

The next day he opened with “Biden’s Flunky, Deranged Jack Smith, should go to HELL” (Dec 26, 2023, 2:46 PM). Here is taking full advantage of an appellate court’s recent ruling that he is allowed to attack Smith despite the lower court’s gag order attempting to control his dangerous language threatening court personnel and witnesses.

His troops rallied to the charge. Steve Bannon: “Ditto Mr President—for ALL Those Trying to Destroy Our Beloved Country — ‘May They Rot in Hell’”

And in a bizarre echo of his recently stated aims for total power Trump posted a word cloud depicting the words “revenge” and “dictatorship”…

  14. Jr, looks like he was out celebrating too much the night before, And just because you picked up somebody while partying hard on Christmas eve doesn’t mean the family would like to meet them too. 
    Whats that? Oh, you mean she is family, oh never mind. A lovely couple aren’t they.

  15. Subject of the day. 
    One of the great advantages the Democrats have is Trump. The more he is out there, the more regular suburbanites see him, the more they are turned off. 
    The trick will be to get him out there doing this next summer when people are starting to pay attention.
    Right now we need to remember most voters don’t hang out on twitter or tic tok and only do facebook to share pictures of the family.

  16. jack, look again. that’s ivanka in the shocking pink whilst all else are in blck.  melania’s out of the picture — could be she’s taking the pix — or maybe that’s why they’re all in mourning clothes (except ivanka of course).

  17. Pat, 
    Ha, We could make a crude joke but never mind.  
    You can tell I’m not a celebrity watcher, They all look alike to me and certainly not like anybody in my world.
    Although Jr does remind me of a ne’er-do-well cousin. He always shows up at family functions with his latest, “interesting”, girl friend

  19. i must be getting old because i think Tom Smothers’ death should be bigger news 🤷‍♂️ 

    Also, i’m halfway through the Beatles documentary “Get Back”, and Yoko is vindicated, she didn’t break up the Beatles, Paul did. The documentary, itself, is a fascinating glimpse into the past and the creative process🤯

  20. Last days of the year deaths get less attention because the obituary roll calls are already done. 

    John Donald Imus Jr. – July 23, 1940 – December 27, 2019), also known as Imus, was an American radio personality, television show host, recording artist, and author. His radio show Imus in the Morning was aired on various stations and digital platforms nationwide until 2018.

    I only made through about 30 min of the Beatles movie. The thing I took away was how bored Ringo looked all the time. 
    Not a real Beatles fan but they do have more songs that stayed on my play list than the Stones. I’m always surprised just how little of the late 60’s pop music is there.
    That, what is there is often more obscure stuff.
    Jack

  24. It’s definitely a deep-dive, was interesting to see John obviously tripping on acid on day 3, Paul demonstrates how he was the actual musical genius of the group, and as is typical, kind of a jerk about it.
     
    i’ll finish it some time this week, when else am i going to have a chance to hang-out with the Beatles when they’re 29?
     
    Well done, Peter Jackson 🫡 

    There’s a part where George is discussing how a tv show he was watching the night before inspired him
    to write “I Me Mine”, so Peter Jackson went back and found footage of the TV show George was watching and plays it over George discussing his inspiration, so you’re almost looking inside Harrison’s mind, very cool

    Oh, you can also see in their eyes how much John and Paul loved each other

  26. Junior and Gargoyle deserve each other.   WTF was Gavin Newsome thinking?   I guess she’s just going to glom onto whomever or whatever to get what she wants. Maybe she’s actually a barnacle.

  30. She’s reading call girl from the 80s, so that’s on brand for the tRUMPs.  Coke, it’s the real thing. 

    Junior’s extra-long sleeves, so everyone can see his cuffs are monogrammed. So, thirsty.

  34. Sturge, Yes, he did.

    Fetterman Q&A

    Q. Biden’s campaign hasn’t yet announced any battleground staff in Pennsylvania. Should the campaign be more built out in the swing states at this point?
    A. I don’t give anybody advice unless on fashion. … All I do know is that the president will win Pennsylvania. And I do believe if he wins Pennsylvania, and I believe he will, he will be a second-term president.
    Q. We’ve talked about this a few months ago, and you told me then you thought Biden would win Pennsylvania and win the overall election. But things have gotten worse for him since. Trump is now ahead in many polls.
    A. But that doesn’t really matter. There’s a whole lifetime in politics between now and next November as well. I’m not worried about that. And I’m very vocal about this, too, while there are Democrats that are being very critical about the president. … I’ll use this [as] another opportunity to tell James Carville to shut the fuck up. Like I said, my man hasn’t been relevant since grunge was a thing.And I don’t know why he believes it’s helpful to say these kinds of things about an incredibly difficult circumstance with an incredibly strong and decent and excellent president. I’ll never understand that.

    “The US State Department announced a $250 million Ukraine military aid package on Wednesday, the last such package the US will provide to Ukraine until Congress approves the Biden administration’s funding requests.”

    “This package provides up to $250 million of arms and equipment under previously directed drawdowns for Ukraine,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. “Capabilities provided in today’s package include air defense munitions, other air defense system components, additional ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, anti-armor munitions, and over 15 million rounds of ammunition.”

    “This aid package announced Wednesday falls under Presidential Drawdown Authority, which is pulled directly from US stocks and can be shipped quickly to Ukraine. The US already exhausted the other key form of assistance, the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which allows the Defense Department to contract with arms manufacturers to purchase weapons for Kyiv.”

    “American support for labor unions is at a 57-year-high, and union members.. are a coveted voting bloc that could help secure the White House in 2024.”

    “Except there’s one problem: the Republican party doesn’t like unions.”

    “In the decades since Ronald Reagan’s presidency, GOP lawmakers championed “right to work” laws designed to limit union membership. In 2021, congressional Republicans overwhelmingly voted against a bill that would make it easier for workers to form unions.”

  38. https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/27/politics/colorado-gop-appeal-trump-supreme-court/index.html

    “Colorado GOP asks US Supreme Court to overturn ruling disqualifying Trump from 2024 ballot”

    “The appeal means the state court’s pause on the ruling – which was set to expire January 4 – will be indefinitely extended until the US Supreme Court announces whether it will take up the appeal, and, if it does, until it issues a final decision in the matter.”

    “The high court is separately involved in other matters related to Trump’s election subversion criminal case.”

  42. Ivy – Booblehead knows she can’t get re-elected where she’s at now.   Hopefully, she’s shown herself to be enough of a loon that they won’t want her, either.  No matter how far the district leans toward Republicans, her performance at Beetlejuice will probably hurt her, because women aren’t allowed to do things that men are forgiven.
     
    https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/27/politics/chris-christie-new-hampshire-ad-buy/index.html

    “Chris Christie is directly pushing back on calls for him to drop out of the 2024 Republican presidential primary in a new seven-figure ad buy debuting in New Hampshire on Thursday…”

    “The buy marks a strategic decision by Christie’s campaign to ramp up resources dedicated to its all-in-on-New Hampshire strategy ahead of the January 23 primary. His campaign has so far touted a low campaign cash burn rate – relying mainly on media interviews and ads funded by a super PAC supporting him.”

    Boebert will lose. Wherever she runs.  Her goose has been in the oven for 6 hours at 350°.  Well done and over.

    She might have had a chance had she just been able to realize how stupid she is.
