America & the World V: DOGE Business

He won't see jail time, he could set fire to another person live on tv, in court, in front of that judge, and still wouldn't see time in jail, he'll just slither on by as people like that do and get away with it, as people like him do.

Just kill him already so the world can move on, he's used up enough oxygen.

Trump's the type who would easily paint himself as a martyr and use it to benefit himself. I'd love it if he was deplatformed and stripped of everything he has. I reckon that would hit him far more than jail time, especially with the scale of bad debt he has, just take it all away from him

I think this accurately describes how the M v Z cage fight will turn out: https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...erg-cage-fight

My favourite snippet from that article:

Scientists could not design a man more likely to get whipped in a fair fight.

I can't be the only one who thinks that this idea is embarrassing for both of them? It's playground nonsense.

I mean, if playgrounds have cage fights.

Which some probably do.

[Brad]

I believe my secondary school is where the concept of cage fights originated. I don't miss that place.

But yes, a man child.

The hits keep on coming, Arizona state might be lining up to Indict Trump for the fifth time

I don't think so, for Zuckerberg. The guy apparently has done MMA for over ten years. If you're an amateur boxer or something, if someone challenges you to a fight, you probably go for it.

I’m sure they will split the proceeds between them after selling the slapsie cuffs online.

Texan arrested after phoning the court and threatening to kill the judge if Trump doesn't win the election. Straight after Trump trashed talked the judge on Truth Social. Trump needs to be removed from the Internet during proceedings.

The coolaid is strong in some parts of the US.

Trump and the others accused have until 25 August to report in to Georgia for their fingerprints and mugshots to be taken

The meth is strong in some parts of the US.

Fixed that for you.

[MartyG]

Coolaid is a specific reference to the events in Jonestown in 1978, in which over nine hundred members of the Peoples Temple movement committed suicide by drinking Coolaid because they were so brainwashed by the movement's leader, Jim Jones.

It's actually Kool-Aid (think that might be a brand name): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_the_Kool-Aid

In this case it's the cult of Trump.

[fishbowlhead]

I’m aware of the original reference, but even still the guy was probably smoking meth.
