            That’s probably the idea with the big beautiful bill and AI shit - make an AI version of King Trump to allow his glorious rule to continue after he dies.

        We had the best phone calls, it’s true. They were really great. So great. Everybody is saying it - I’m not saying it, everybody here is saying it. But I said it when I made the call, I said, “What a great call”, it really was. We had a horrible administration that couldn’t make any deals, just horrible, they were the worst. The Biden crime family couldn’t make the deals I make, you wouldn’t believe, it’s true. This guy knows it, right?

          I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as sum, is in fact, GNU/sum, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus sum.

      And yet, everytime he claims something, some stupid shit head believes it.

      I jokingly said, “Man, I’m loving this $1.98 gas” at work, and some fuck face agreed with a, “Ain’t it nice”.

      Gas is at least $2.74 in a sixty mile radius around my town.

          You know, honestly, he could score a win if he used real had prices. 2.70 here ain’t bad and some places have 2.49.

          If he legit said, hey, gas prices are floating around $2.50, he could score points. But no, dummy had to exaggerate it to a redonk price.

              Oh, they are working on fixing that. Our public transport was “privatised” a few decades back. It’s a shadow of what it used to be. A few places have improved, but it’s often local efforts.

              Walkability is a godsend however. Interestingly, Milton Keynes proves you can have the best of both worlds. It has a robust road network. However, the red routes mean you can get most places with minimal road crossings. Either on food, bike, or e-scooter.

        2.74 USD / gal. is equivalent to 0.99 CAD / L

        Anything below 1.50 CAD / L is considered cheap where I live. I’m jealous of your gas prices

            TACO was specifically something that came about because of him repeatedly caving in on tariffs. I think someone in the media eventually said Trump Always Chickens Out and they ran with it.

              I believe it was the financial sector that came up with it. They can predict how the market reacts since they know he will cave later.

        Taco is also fantasy sports slang for a random idiot that never seems to get punished for their awful decisions. From a character on The League.

      Wait, what?! I thought the ceasefire between Pakistan and India had actually been negotiated by the Trump administration!

        Welcome to the future. I actually thought he was tangentially involved too.

        No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore. Most people’s feeds are pretty bad, and that’s the point! He literally burned out fact-checkers and journalists (and numbed minds to them) last term.

        As he did on Wall Street before he got into politics:

        Might be better if social media changes, but… we basically elected Big Tech:

          No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore.

          I would also point out that there’s been multiple organizations that verify and fact check.

          And just like we’ve seen in Trump Presidency part 1, MAGA and conservatives don’t gaf.

            They get no engagement though. Social media’s dumped fact checking, which means most won’t see it.

        The whole reason we’re on the precipice of war is because Taco woke up saw Israeli strikes called genius on Fox news and he wanted to bask in that praise so he started suggesting he had something to do with it. It’s absolute lunacy.

      I think the only real deal he’s ever made is with Baalzebub.

        I could easily see him doing a deal similar to the one in “The fall of the house of Usher”

        You don’t pay the price. Your children do.

      Yeah, that kind of thing is not uncommon in dementia patients. My friend’s mom was telling us all about her lunch with Rob Lowe a while back. Of course she is in memory care, not the Oval Office.
