RFK - "But having diarrhea for a month is good to clean out your system."
Note: He didn't say that, but at this point, it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

Planning to sell faster updates on Trump's posts to banks.

I'm sure there's a totally normal explanation for this though, that isn't a tacit admission of Trump's control of the market and how that can be exploited. But I bet it'll take a long time to think of it.

Ah, you beat me to that one!

So they'll modify the app for Trump so that if he wants to make a typical message, he just farts it out on the net without any delays. But if he's going to give information that he'll be giving government funds to a specific company, thus increasing the stock, he'll have an option so that it'll first go out to paid insider traders, I mean subscribers, who will then buy those stocks.

He's literally openly selling insider information! The title of the thread stands: Trump continues to cement himself as the most corrupt US president in history. What an absolute shitshow the US has become.

Hard to believe that the 50th anniversary of Watergate was last month. As a lot of people opined, if it happened today, it probably wouldn't even be the lead story. My, have times (and the US) changed!

Holy corruption, I love that Trump is so open and proud of his corruption and the US will do nothing about it.

I'll be shocked if he doesn't get 3rd a term

At that point, it wouldn't be a third term. It would be him being installed until he dies. Luckily for us, he doesn't look like he'll make it to 2028. The damage he's done to the system will be documented for generations and will take years to fix.

Just saw the gas here and it was 1,77CDN/L which in USD/Gallon would be $4.77. 100% due to Trump and his failed illegal war. If it goes to $5 I wouldn't be surprised if the entire world starts revolting against him.

Americans dont have enough cleverness to fix it just like UK couldn't fix brexit. The idiots vastly outnumber the capable everywhere.
Except in Switzerland.

Bexit was much more of a structural change to the entire system, and much more difficult to reverse. It would also require the UK to basically admit they were wrong to get out of something that was beneficial, so that is near impossible.

Some of what Trump has done would be fast to reverse. If the Democrats sweep the elections and have a super majority, they will need to steam-roll things quickly. Especially that corrupt supreme court.

52 years ago next month, Nixon resigned! One of the things I hope that we can do, post-Trump, is re-evaluate Nixon's legacy, I think he got too much of a bad rap.

Not sure I would go and whitewash what they did. They literally broke into the DNC headquarters to plant bugs. Then when it was found out, the president tried to squash investigations into it.

Compared to what's happened recently it may seem smaller, but it's still quite a huge illegal scandal. If anything, Dan Quale deserves a huge apology for being taken out of the running for misspelling "potato".

True, the Watergate scandal was deserved regardless of its scale vs. recent issues. Nixon didn't know they were doing it, but after the fact he was complicit with the coverup. At least that time there were consequences.

From the article @titan_tim mentioned:

Trump believes that Infantino “is respected by everyone around the world, and recognizes he has a special ability to bring people together,” a source close to the president told The Post.
:rofl:

Paolo Zampolli, the Italian-American businessman and diplomat serving as Trump’s special envoy for global partnerships, told The Post that “only President Trump could have such a genius idea.”
:rofl:

“There is some similarity” between the roles of FIFA president and UN secretary-general, said Zampolli, a personal friend of Infantino’s and a former ambassador to the UN for the small island nation of Dominica.
:rofl:(also: why the fuck does the ny post ask a personal friend of their opinion?)

Trump has fumed about what he views as the UN’s inactivity in mediating major world conflicts
:rofl2:

Installing Infantino could improve Trump’s relationship with the UN.
:rofl:

However, if the president is successful, it would come with a steep pay cut for Infantino, who earns about $6 million a year at FIFA.
:rofl2:

Balogun’s reinstatement outraged European nations, but the American loss to Belgium blunted the fallout.
:rofl2:


Oh, man...that article's more satire than anything I could've written up. Nothing's going to come of it, of course, but other than Khamenei, I couldn't think of a worse person the US could nominate for that job.
