You’ve got it. Your very favorite president, well, let Hollywood tell the story.
““I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.” Whoops, wrong quote even if it might be appropriate here. Though the press is probably glad that they now have a light in the dark places where their profits used to be.
“It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish.” Well, it sure looks like he wants to finish the job. A half-drained swamp smells even worse that a full one, and causes a lot more problems to fester. So take heart dear commentariat, because:
He’s back!
Hardest hit: Jeb! or Hilary, I can’ quite decide. What’s your take?
What video is it that is not available?
Try clicking on where it says Youtube on the horizontal bar at the bottom of the video window. Worked for me. It hangs up in this webpage viewport.

I think the NY Post covered it best:
“Flordia Man Makes Annoucement”
“With just 720 days to go before the next election, a Florida retiree made the surprise announcement that he was running for president.”
“Avid golfer Donald J. Trump kicked things off at Mar-a-Lago, his resort and classified-documents library.”
“Trump, famous for gold-plated lobbies and for firing people on reality television, will be 78 in 2024.”
“His cholesterol levels are unknown, but his favorite food is a charred steak with ketchup.”
Alzheimer patient vs. The Grifter…Time to Amend Article II, Section 5 of the Constitution!
“neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years and be older than the age of Seventy Five Years”
I cant wait to vote for him.
SWMBO…Loves Taco Salads…
I Love Clint Eastwood Movies.

The hardest hit victims will be Republicans who get walloped (mauled?) publicly tangling with Return of The Don Conmanovich Trumpenstein Monster. Then Joe eats them alive providing his health holds. Joe appears to have become The Real Slim Shady. Ali said Marciano was likely the one heavyweight champion of history he might not have defeated:
See minute 1 to 1:14. “The toughest fight of them all is the man who is hardest to knock out, a fella who had no style at all, just a brawler … Rocky Marciano..” Mike Tyson agreed.
Rocky Marciano. Real life Italian Stallion.

Eminem. Will the Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up?
https://youtu.be/eJO5HU_7_1w
With that theme song even Trump is toast (if he even gets there). But Joe doesn’t pay attention to me.
Q as in Qanon returns too? I’m betting that phase is behind us.
On a serious note, Trump is a hurricane. Hurricanes are unpredictable and dangerous.
F&L,
He was certainly dangerous to Hilary, to Jeb! and to the rest of the field.
Hurricanes are bad enough doing their hurricane business. Getting in the ring with one is suicidal. Hilary and Jeb got in the ring with him.
Panem et circenses?
Soon Fred will be fixed on Trump’s pursed lips, never mind he did not have the patience on Tuesday? Waiting for the results of his: Opposition Research?
Freddy Gray of the Spectator, UK:
But the facts of Republican political life are Trumpian and nothing anyone says can change that. The world changes but Trump stays the same – narcissistic, absurd, unstoppable. He continues to call himself ‘the stable genius’, and it’s true that he has a unique ability to keep his politics static as everything around him falls apart.
His rhetoric seems frozen in time. On Tuesday, he hit all the drums he has been banging since 2015. He spent much of his speech denouncing ‘open borders’ and the ‘poison’ of illegal immigration. ‘Our country is being invaded by millions and millions of unknown people, many of whom are entering for a very bad and sinister reason,’ he said. Eat your heart out, Suella Braverman.

LeaNder,
Did you catch on that Freddy Gray has been beating the same drum-beat since he wrote about meeting Joe the Plumber in ’09?
Addressing the question in the narrowest sense: who is hit worse, JebbiePoo! or the Hillabeast; I think the Hillabeast will be hit worse. Why? Because it will bring homer than home to her the fact that she is too old ever to run again, and she will retain all the cognitive function needed to feel the pain, hate and rage of it all for years to come.
Whereas JebbiePoo! is young enough that he will still be chronologically viable if the Trump Show 2.0 — Return of the Don turns out so badly it can’t be spun well. At that point JebbiePoo! may well offer himself as a healing cooling soothing balm for all the heat and the chaos we will have undergone by that time.
” Want some peace and quiet? Vote for the Low Energy Guy.”
Ha ha! PT Barnum would have mortgaged his circuses just to sell tickets for that show of what Trump did to Jebbypooh, revealed as the closeted niceguy of the Bush syndicate. Who knew? From Jebbypooh to Mister Niceguy Pooh, in under five minutes. A world and Olympic record.
Longtime Trump supporter but going with Desantis, the other Floridian, if he runs. I feel he is a better manager with less drama.
Trump’s main message was “I am a victim”. This does not jibe with someone attempting to become the most powerful man in the world.
Mike B,
You watched the whole thing at Mar-a-Largo? Brave man. I caught the middle ten minutes or so and left.
“most powerful man in the world”
I don’t think that is an apt description for Joe Biden. I’m sure Xi and the BRICS leaders don’t consider him that. I suspect none of the members of the G20, either.
Fred,
I’ll never get you to see it?
1- The aviator sunglasses
2- His slim, trim, athletic physique
3- His impeccable wardrobe
4- The hit rap song of an entire era – Slim Shady by Eminem whose real name is Marshall Mathers III
Keywords:
a) Shades. American 20th century jargon for sunglasses. But also, archaically, spirits of the departed.
b) Slim. The country boy hero pool.shooter and vanquisher in a brutal 42nd Street poolroom melee of Big Jim Walker, and the eponymous subject of Jim Croce’s 1972 megahit “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim.” He was from south Alabama, and his real name was Willie McCoy “but down home they call me Slim.”
Fred, I shudder to think that either you are unaquainted with the fine traditions of American popular music, or, heaven forbid, that you harbor spiteful prejudices against fit, trim people who suffer the debilitating weakness of needing sunglasses the better to protect their eyes from our harsh sunrays and intrusive nearly blinding flares of obnoxious paparazzi and international press corps camera flash equipment. Or that you habitually suspect people of their use to conceal bloodshot eyes resulting from overindulgence of alcoholic beverages and dangerous injections of illegal narcotics and stimulants. I hesitate to continue to wonder if that is the case. Please, if it is only a minor lapse of memory due to attention to other affairs concerning the first issue, accept this opportunity to refresh your recollections with my kindest regards and best wishes and kindly forgive me for speaking obliquely in favor of the man who appears to have mysteriously become transformed before our eyes into the Real Slim Shady:
You Don’t Mess Around With Jim 1972 – Jim Croce.
https://youtu.be/hickVDiW8k0
You don’t tug on superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim
… Well outta south Alabama came a country boy
He say I’m lookin’ for a man named Jim
I am a pool shootin’ boy
My name Willie McCoy
But down home they call me slim
Yeah I’m lookin’ for the king of 42nd street
He drivin’ a drop top cadillac
Last week he took all my money
And it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back
And everybody say Jack don’t you know
… And you don’t tug on superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim
… Well a hush fell over the pool room
Jimmy come boppin’ in off the street
And when the cuttin’ were done
The only part that wasn’t bloody
Was the soles of the big man’s feet
Yeah he were cut in in bout a hundred places
And he were shot in a couple more
And you better believe
They sung a different kind of story
When big Jim hit the floor now they say
… You don’t tug on superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don’t mess around with slim
… Yeah, big Jim got his hat
Find out where it’s at
And it’s not hustlin’ people strange to you
Even if you do got a two piece custom made pool cue
… Yeah you don’t tug on superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off the old lone ranger
And you don’t mess around with slim.
The GOP Circus Parade on the way to 2024 is gonna be hilarious, as the line up off political clowns step into the huge elephant turds dropped along the way by Trump’s festering innards!
Al,
Biden – Fetterman 2024 is looking good baby! Especially after the FTX implosion.
Fred, AOC/Fetterman all the way, baby!
Trump versus DeSantis:
1. the MSM “boy wonder” (the new McCain-Ryan)
2. the Establishment Republicans boy wonder (base will really love this)
3. and Fox News new ratings campion (more money to hold fund raisers for Biden)
What could possible go wrong…
Battle of the songs…
