A website that pays licensing fees to President Donald Trump is selling merchandise bearing the official presidential seal—including a $150 record player and $20 beer pong set with “Presidential themed balls”—that could violate federal law restricting commercial use of the seal.

‘Could be’ because we all know Americans don’t have laws and what they do have is gobbledyguk

In the oval Trump makes a call.

"Pam, Pam, Pam - this is Mr. President. Mr. President Trump. Remember? President Trump."

"How can I help you - Mr. President?"

"Do not prosecute my buddy Lee 'I'm proud to be an American' Greenwood."

"I wouldn't dream of it."

He hangs up on her without saying anything. He's a little confused and mad but he doesn't know why. All his aides are smiling and it makes him a bit madder. He barks out "Get me the guy about the Venezuela war." Then he bellows "Leave!" The aides sidle out of the room. One aide silently hands a 10 dollar bill to another. The aide with the money says in a very quiet but snide voice he says "I told ya he'd do it again!"

Trump's been doing the same thing every day for four weeks including asking for the "Venezuela war" guy.

godblesstheusabible.com has all kinds of shit.

At first I thought it was maybe a radio. Nope. It's a $60 statue.

I love the idea of a Thanksgiving shirt for the people who will be complaining that their families didn't invite them to Thanksgiving because they're too toxic to sit at a table with civil adults. "I'm just here for the pumpkin pie" hits hard if you imagine them saying it at the door and being rejected by their kids.

That should be in a movie.

I do love a good pumpkin pie, but what's the story behind that?

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I shared that because it seems so "off" to me. He doesn't seem like a pie guy but don't ask me why. For some reason I can't imagine Trump eating any kind of pie. But you made me wonder if the page for the tee would have a little story like "President Trump loves pumpkin pie! When he was a boy..." But I checked the page and there's nothing there other than an order form.

What you're seeing here is the blank slateifaction of politics the right does with Trump. It doesn't matter what he says or does, i.e. being a bit of a dandy who doesn't eat pies like a real blue collar roughneck, what matters is that the chuds THINK he does, so it's willed into being.

For the longest time even into 2017 I didn't understand the magic of the MAGA cap. But then I saw a photo of Trump with a guy in his cabinet. He always reminded me of The Simpson's Mr. Burns. In one of his grifts - he stole $50 million or $100 million. I don't remember the number. I entirely forgot his name. [Ninja edit - It was Wilbur Ross.] The little nebbish of a criminal billionaire was wearing a MAGA cap and with it - voila - he was transformed into some kind of alternate reality trucker guy or something. That was true - even if he was still a obscenely rich guy in a suit who would steal the gold filling out of the mouth of still warm corpse of a chud's deceased mother.

He's one of us.

In other news - I forgot how much I like using "voila".
