Dammit, it wasn't Kool-Aid at Jonestown.  It was Flavor-Aid.

You know, he fucked up wine, bottled water, and vodka. 

What's popular right now in the beverage space?  Energy drinks?  Carbonated hard drinks?  

Somebody could easily get Trump to license his name to a carbonated seltzer booze drink with caffeine or whatever.  45Loko.  And eventually we taint the supply with a lethal dose of cyanide.  Could be fun.

The Gravy SEALs can’t have Kool-Aid, diabetes and all. 

They’ll drink Kool-Aid, but it only needs to be laced with Sugar to have the desired effect.

Four(ty-five) Loko is actually genius. We should get a logo and start marketing t-shirts. Pretty sure we could sell them to MAGA and anti-MAGA both.

On the one hand, looney as hell.

On the other hand, gotta give him credit for coming around, given that he’ll catch shit for it.

Well in the first post we have no idea where he was posting from but in the second he came down to Earth.

The Brits really can turn a phrase.

And I do think from my recent trip that they have an excellent historical understanding of how to deal with people like Trump. 

 

Hey, I was just there in July. Got a pic of my teen age daughter standing next to a beef eater in full regalia. I asked the beef eater if he could act like he was arresting my daughter. Neither he nor my daughter were amused. So much for British humour.

"Taint Rot"?  Seriously, that's a thing?

I thought I had it bad when I mixed some blood thinners with ibuprofen and experienced, Restless Taint Syndrome.  And for more than four hours to boot.

It was all over the timeline yesterday. We were a little bit busy with other goings on. I pulled one of the many. I don't know who to attribute it to. 

That scared fat ass wants nothing to do with the angry cyclone.

Bad news for the B1G and BXII then.

<sigh> Not a B1G home game. And it’s not Trump bringing down the Big XII. The Longhorn Network did that.

I think he was probably referencing the USFL. I don’t know. I was making a joke about ISU’s loss yesterday but maybe BamaATL forgot how it all started with this:

That resulted in a 46-41 upset win for visiting LSU.

It wasn't specific just a low hanging fruit joke about the USFL.  Though unrelated, I do I think the Big Ten is destined for huge failure out of all this.  TV contracts have been extraordinarily over leveraged, and this race to grab is only going to exasperate the situation.  I think the SEC will emerge ok out all this, but it wouldn't be surprising to me if our collective deal gets blown up with ESPN in bankruptcy.  Chasing dollars in the frenzied way in college football has done isn't going to work the way people think (to be honest I think its implosion is going be interesting).  But I digress, and that's just my opinion.

Is it true that whenever Trump goes to a football game the home team loses?

I believe the phrase is "Everything Trump Touches Dies."

When I saw he was at the game, I thought that was a bad omen for ISU.

Pretty sure the Big 10 will be fine.

I will name the place and the test, and it will be a tough one. Nobody will come even close to me! We can also throw some physical activity into it. I just won the Senior Club Championship at a big golf club, with many very good players. To do so you need strength, accuracy, touch and, above all, mental toughness. Ask Bret Baier (Fox), a very good golfer. The Wall Street Journal & Fox are damaged goods after their failed DeSanctimonious push & stupid $780,000,000 "settlement." MORONS!!!

 

"Senior Club Championship at a big golf club" put me in tears.  Normally I just rage at the man, or roll my eyes or what not.  But this one, whew, thanks Donny, that was funny.

Bemoans Biden's "witch hunt" and his politically-motivated persecution of political opponents and now apparently driving the bus on impeachment attempt of a political rival.

https://news.yahoo.com/trump-privately-encouraging-gop-lawmakers-122026494.html

Quote

On a sweeping patio overlooking the golf course at his private club in Bedminster, New Jersey, former President Donald Trump dined Sunday night with a close political ally, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

It was a chance for the former president to catch up with the hard-right Georgia congresswoman. But over halibut and Diet Cokes, Greene brought up an issue of considerable interest to Trump — the push by House Republicans to impeach his likely opponent in next year’s election.

“I did brief him on the strategy that I want to see laid out with impeachment,” Greene said in a brief phone interview.

Sign up for The Morning newsletter from the New York Times

Trump’s dinner with Greene came just two nights before House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced his decision Tuesday to order the opening of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, under intense pressure from his right flank.

Over the past several months, Trump has kept a close watch on House Republicans’ momentum toward impeaching Biden. Trump has talked regularly by phone with members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus and other congressional Republicans who pushed for impeachment, according to a person close to Trump who was not authorized to publicly discuss the conversations. Trump has encouraged the effort both privately and publicly.

Greene, who has introduced articles of impeachment against Biden, said she told Trump she wanted the impeachment inquiry to be “long and excruciatingly painful for Joe Biden.”

She would not say what Trump said in response, but she said her ultimate goal was to have a “long list of names” — people whom she claimed were co-conspirators involved in Biden family crimes. She said she was confident Trump would win back the White House in 2024 and that she wanted “to go after every single one of them and use the Department of Justice to prosecute them.”

While Biden’s son Hunter Biden was charged in June with two misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense, Republicans have not shown that Joe Biden committed any crimes. House Republicans are proceeding with the impeachment inquiry without proof that Biden took official actions as vice president to benefit his son’s financial interests or that he directly profited from his son’s foreign deals.

Trump has also spoken weekly over the past month to Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, the third-ranking House Republican, according to a person familiar with the conversations who was not authorized to discuss them publicly. During those conversations, Stefanik also briefed Trump on the impeachment inquiry strategy, this person said.

The former president thanked Stefanik for publicly backing the impeachment inquiry in July, the person added. Stefanik, who talked to Trump again Tuesday after McCarthy ordered the impeachment inquiry, had been the first member of House Republican leadership to publicly call for taking the first step in the process of impeaching Biden.

A person familiar with Trump’s thinking said that despite his eagerness to see an inquiry move forward, the former president has not been twisting McCarthy’s arm. Trump has been far more aggressive in pushing several members to wipe his own impeachment record clean, the person said, potentially by getting Congress to take the unprecedented step of expunging his two impeachments from the House record.

Trump has not been expressing concern about the possibility that the McCarthy impeachment effort might backfire and benefit Biden, according to two people with direct knowledge of his private statements over several months. Instead, he wondered to an ally why there had been no movement on impeaching Biden once he learned that the House was back in session.

A spokesperson for McCarthy did not respond to a question about his interactions with the former president regarding impeachment.

When asked for comment, Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, pointed to Trump’s public statements about impeaching Biden.

The former president’s public commentary on the possibility of a Biden impeachment has escalated from wistful musings about the Justice Department’s supposed inaction to explicit demands.

“They persecuted us and yet Joe Biden is a stone-cold criminal, caught dead to right, and nothing happens to him. Forget the family. Nothing happens to him,” the former president said at a rally in March.

In a June town hall with the Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump lamented what happened after authorities found boxes of classified documents in both his Mar-a-Lago estate and the Bidens’ Delaware residence.

“It is a dual system of government,” Trump said. “You talk about law and order. You can’t have law and order in a country where you have such corruption.”

That same month, after Trump was arraigned on charges that he had improperly retained sensitive national security documents and obstructed investigators, he declared that if reelected he would appoint a special prosecutor to “go after” Biden and his family.

By July, Trump had begun suggesting that Republicans should impeach the president, and as the summer wore on, he conveyed his desire with greater urgency.

“So, they impeach me over a ‘perfect’ phone call, and they don’t impeach Biden for being the most corrupt president in the history of the United States???” Trump wrote in all caps on his social media platform, Truth Social.

In yet another nearly all-cap Truth Social post in late August, the former president wrote, referring to congressional Republicans: “Either impeach the bum, or fade into oblivion. They did it to us!”

Been meaning to post this since Sunday. My apologies if this isn’t as brief and succinct as I’d like it to be. Please bear with me.

Trump held a rally in South Dakota on Friday, picking up an endorsement from Kristi Noem. Most of the articles about it talk about Noem’s potential as a possible running mate. But there’s part of Trump’s speech that’s not getting a lot of coverage. They opened with it on Meet the Press on Sunday. Trump was ranting on about how his legal troubles are all about Biden attacking his political opponent, how he’s done nothing wrong, he has the right to say there was election fraud and it was stolen because everyone knows that’s true and “free speech!” No doubt his lawyers encouraged him to keep saying “free speech!” And there was a little bit of a vibe that he knows he’s lying about election fraud but he has the right to keep saying it because “free speech!”

Anyway, and this is where they started on MTP, Trump goes on to say, “That means if I’m elected and somebody wants to run against me, I call my Attorney General and say, ‘Listen, indict him!’”

Okay, sure, Trump is saying he’ll continue to try to use his Attorney General to lock up his opponents just like he did when he was in office. But if he wins, why would anyone be running against him again? He’d be in his 2nd term. He couldn’t run again. You could just dismiss it and say he means any of his political enemies, and certainly you’d be right that he’ll do that too. But I believe he’s saying out loud that if he gets back into office again he has no intention of leaving. He thinks he should be treated like Putin and Kim. He’s said that out loud too.

That was all they covered on Meet the Press. In his speech he continued, first speaking for his imaginary AG. “Well, he hasn’t done anything that we know…” To which imaginary Trump interrupts, “I don’t know…Indict him on income tax evasion! You’ll figure it out.”

Again, Trump apologists will dismiss it as just talk and he won’t try to “run” for a 3rd term. I say that’s ridiculous and he’s telling us. You know he hasn’t gone to the trouble to endorse Republicans all over the country who will help him do it just so they can wind up helping someone else. And you know he’ll make the argument that he deserves another term because of the one that was stolen from him. No way in hell that wouldn’t happen.

Anyway, here’s the full episode of Meet the Press (Chuck Todd’s last, btw). The relevant part is right at the beginning.

You can find the full speech and some other stuff from the South Dakota rally, in case you have the stomach for it, below. The quote in question begins at 1:09:56.
