Pres Trump
Apr. 13, 2020 - "When someone is President of the United States, the authority is total, and that is the way it has to be. It's total. It's total."

He's a total con job and twice impeached POTUS.

@#2 ... He's a total con job ...

I have a difficulty disagreeing with that assessment.

Indeed, back in the summer of 2016, I raised a warning about then candidate Trump. If I remember correctly, I said he was a low-life NYC real estate developer.

Was I wrong?

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
[Verses 1-6]
I'm standing by the highway
Suitcase by my side
No place I want to go
I just thought I'd catch a ride

Many people look my way
And many pass me by
In moments of reflection
I wonder why

To the thieves I am a bandit, whoa
The mothers think I'm a son
To the preachers I'm a sinner
Lord I'm not the only one

To the sad ones I'm unhappy
To the losers I'm a fool
To the students I'm a teacher
With the teachers I'm unschooled

To the hobos I'm imprisoned
By everything I own
To the soldier I'm just someone else
Who's dying to go home
...

No word yet on his inclusion in the Pantheon of Predators...

Surprised to see there are no comments from the MAGATS who have decried removal of the statues of the confederate traitors as an erasure of history? I expect they will be as equally or more upset with the Smithsonian over this move.

Maybe they are building a new exhibit dedicated to all of the twice impeached Presidents?

2028 - "The Epstein Files are included in the reinstated Trump Impeachment exhibit at the Smithsonian. The late president's family has no comment."

Just as he has been the first to lose reelection and win it four years later I'm hoping he can again make history by being impeached a third and final time only this time be convicted in the Semate. Yes it would take a miraclefor that to happen but we can hope!

"To policemen I'm suspicious
It's in the way I look
I'm just another character
To fingerprint and book

To the censor I'm pornography
With no redeeming grace
To the hooker I'm a customer
Without a face

And the sellers think I'm merchandise
They'll have me for a song
The left ones think I'm right
The right ones think I'm wrong"

So trump never threatened to withhold aid from ukraine unless they made up dirt on joe biden?

And then he never tried to overthrow election results?

Nope, at least not to the cult. And these are exhibits A and B proving Trump supporters are in a cult.

Among the many racist, anti-science lies the Smithsonian maintains, these "edits" are strictly to protect their current existence.

#23 | Posted by redlightrobot at 2025-08-02 12:53 PM

As it happens, the Smithsonian is not a part of the Executive Branch, but quick research shows who runs it, and its leadership has 12 women and five men. For me, that is irrelevant, but to a member of the male supremacist Trump gang...anyone still at Fox News want to run a lot of museums?
