How Trump will raise the money he needs to pay off everyone he owes
1. He will sell one million pairs of Trump Sneakers at $399 per pair.
2. He will sell 550,000 NFTs at $99 per card.
3. He will sell 500,000 bottles of New Trump Cologne For The Manliest of Men (which smells exactly like the "Impression of Chanel No. 5" that is sold in dollar stores) at $299 per bottle.
4. He will sell one million framed 8x10 pictures of Mar-a-Lago with circles and arrows and writing on the back to tell you what they are, for $125 per photo.
That's plan A. When it turns out that he sells less than a thousand pair of sneakers, 250 NFTs, discovers that no "manliest of men" wants to smell like someone who'd buy perfume from a dollar store and the cops stop him from selling evidence photos, plan B is to get Jared Kushner to borrow it from the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
Idaho proposes executing child molesters
(Before we start: this is an Idaho Capitol Sun newspaper article, but I linked to it off my own paper's website.)

This is the bill:
https://legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/H0515.pdf
The description of conduct that falls under the purview of this bill is explicit enough that no library in the state will legally be able to hold the House Daily Journal it's in.
This sort of bill was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in its 2008 Kennedy v Louisiana decision, but bill sponsor Rep. Bruce Skaug, of Nampa, believes the current Supreme Court would overturn that decision with one about this bill should it become law.
The bill passed the House on a 57-11 essentially party-line vote, with Republican Jack Nelsen of Jerome the only supermajority-party member to vote against it. Rep. Nelsen is aware that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a similar law which he believes the Supreme Court should smack down before Idaho spends its money on such an unconstitutional law.
"Psychobilly" singer Mojo Nixon dies of "cardiac event" on Outlaw Country Cruise
https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/mojo-nixon-elvis-everywhere-singer-dies-66-country-music-cruise-rcna137886Mr. Nixon, born Neill Kirby McMillan Jr., is most famed for his novelty hit "Elvis is Everywhere." Some of his other songs included "Don Henley Must Die" and "Debbie Gibson is Pregnant with my Two-Headed Love Child." A fervent NASCAR fan, he had hosted "Manifold Destiny with Mojo Nixon" on SiriusXM in the evenings for many years.
Nixon was also an actor. His movie debut was as drummer James Van Eaton in the Jerry Lee Lewis biopic "Great Balls of Fire."
A statement released says "Passing after a blazing show, a raging night, closing the bar, taking no prisoners
+ a good breakfast with bandmates and friends.
A cardiac event on the Outlaw Country Cruise is about right… & that’s just how he did it."
I have made my "who do I want to win the Super Bowl" decision
San Francisco by one touchdown.
It's not because of the Taylor Swift kerfuffle. I'm sorry guys, because as badly as it would wound the Trump supporters to see Ms. Swift's boyfriend make Super Bowl MVP, this is because of something that happened two years ago.
This is what the NFL Combine said about San Francisco's quarterback, Brock Purdy:
Four-year starter who was never able to improve upon a stellar sophomore campaign. Purdy is a burly pocket quarterback who needs a play-action based offense where he can rely on timing over release quickness and arm strength. He can be a confident passer when he finds his rhythm, but throwing is more of a chore than a talent thanks to a labored release. Certain areas of the field will be off limits as he moves up to take on NFL coverage talent. He's a scrappy runner but not dynamic enough to make up for his shortcomings as a passer.
This caused 31 teams to totally blow the guy off, and the 49ers to take him as the very last pick of the 2022 Draft - the player who they call "Mr. Irrelevant." Normally Mr. Irrelevant gets axed in the first round of cuts a team makes during preseason training, but Purdy made it onto the team as a backup quarterback. During the 2022 season injuries forced the Niners to start him in five games, all of which he won. He was promoted to number one on the depth chart for the 2023 campaign; after a very good regular season he beat the Lions in the NFC Championship Game and...here we are: the best quarterback in the NFL going head to head against a guy who barely made it out of the Draft. You realize that if Brock Purdy wins this game they're gonna make a Disney movie about him.
So...give me the Mr. Irrelevant who ain't irrelevant no more with the Vince Lombardi Trophy in his shaking mitts at the end of the day.
I have made a command decision about voting to re-elect President Biden
Even if President Biden holds the 52nd Annual World’s Largest Black Mass on the White House lawn in front of every first-grader in the State of Maryland, and the halftime show is a GG Allin tribute band, I will still vote for President Biden. The alternative is the death of America.
Of course, it DOES help that they haven’t even had the first one yet, the thought of there even being a GG Allin tribute band is a concept that boggles the mind and he wouldn’t do it anyway. But if he did, he’s still got my vote. The risk is too high to do otherwise.
While I agree with the latest appellate ruling regarding Trump...
I am a bit uneasy as to how they got to this point.
Okay, first things first:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/06/politics/trump-immunity-court-of-appeals/index.html
Let's summarize the situation first. In the period between Election Day 2020 and January 6, 2021, the person the late NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt would have described as the "first loser" in the 2020 presidential election performed a number of acts designed to overturn the election and extend his residency in the White House by another term.
Some of them were legal, moral and...to be frank, pretty much expected of anyone who loses an election by a small margin. We will skip over the part about how Mr. Trump's margin of defeat was anything but small; rather, it was larger, by quite a bit, than the total electorate for the first twelve presidential elections combined. For our purposes today, the fact that Trump got absolutely stomped at the ballot box isn't all that critical. He had the perfect right to exercise all legal means to have the election revisited.
The others? Those have him staring straight down the barrels of criminal charges in two different jurisdictions.
The biggest problem Mr. Trump has in both of these trials is his crimes are exceptionally easy to prove. He knows that. His lawyers know that. To quote the great 1980s animated movie "Heavy Metal," the best Trump can hope for in these cases is to get buried in secrecy so his grave don't get violated. Hence, he's taking a novel approach toward both staying out of prison and toward remaining on the 2024 ballot. In the ballot-eligibility cases he is arguing that since he isn't an "officer of the United States" and the word "support" doesn't appear in the presidential oath the Constitutional prohibition against people participating in insurrection holding public office doesn't really apply to him. In the immunity case he argues that all those crimes he's been charged with were part of his official duties so his presidential immunity applies.
In the first instance, one could realistically ask "if the President of the United States is not an officer of the United States, who could possibly be that?" He is, as Mr. Trump normally is, completely wrong about this issue. Mr. Trump argues that only appointed individuals, not elected ones, are officers of the United States. In reality an officer of the United States is a government official who has been delegated part of the sovereign power of this nation - the exact definition of a president.
As to the other, and the reason I'm here today.
Mr. Trump's defense is that all the actions taken in the period in question were part of his official duties as president, which means all of them fall under his grant of presidential immunity.
The court ruled that a president's immunity ends at the moment the next one is sworn in.
The court should have ruled that presidential immunity does not extend to crimes committed in furtherance of his personal affairs. In the year 1974 the government was completely prepared to condemn former President Richard Nixon to federal prison for all the offenses he had committed as part of his re-election campaign until his replacement pardoned him for them all. Mr. Trump has argued that he could "shoot someone on 5th Avenue" - and if he would have done that while in office, the US Marshals Service would have had the perfect right to drag him out of the Oval Office in irons. Presidential Immunity does not mean "I can do whatever the hell I want and there ain't nuttin' ya can do about it, neener neener neener."
RNC plans to give Trump "Messiah Test"
COLORADO SPRINGS (Spurious News Service) — Millions of former President Donald J. Trump’s supporters believe the disgraced monarch is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Republican National Committee’s new Divinity Research Commission is preparing to find out if that’s true.
“None of us here believe President Trump is the Messiah,” said Joel Higginbotham, commission spokesperson. “However, a lot of Republicans think he is. So we figured, why take chances?”
Mr. Higginbotham explained the steps the DRC will take to test former President Trump’s divinity. “First, we’re going to give him a full-blown Biblical crucifixion complete with scourging and a crown of thorns. After he dies we’ll stick his body in a cave and roll a fifteen-ton rock in front of the opening. At that point, one of three things can happen.
“The first, which is what we expect, is he’ll stay dead. If that happens, we’ll just put Ted Nugent on the ballot in Trump’s place. We know no one will vote for him and that’s fine.
“The second is he’ll be resurrected and ascend to Heaven, which means he won’t be available to run for president. Once again, we’ll run Ted Nugent.
“The third is he’ll be resurrected, stay on Earth and try to run for president again. If that happens, we’ll tell him that he’s Jesus, Jesus was born in Israel, so as a non natural born citizen he can’t run for president…and we’re back to Ted Nugent.”
When we asked Mr. Higginbotham why they had to go to this much trouble instead of just telling Mr. Trump he wasn’t welcome to run for president, the reply was immediate: “We’ve dealt with him before. This is way easier.”

E. Jean Carroll, UCC-1 is your friend
This is the form you use to file liens.
If I were Ms. Carroll's attorneys, I would START my liening adventure by filing on Mar-a-Lago. Then the Trump-owned parts of Trump Tower and Trump World Tower, his hotels, his golf courses, Trump Winery, and whatever the hell else he owns.
Basically, bury the son of a bitch in liens and, when he refuses to pay the judgment of the court because you know he will, exercise those liens and confiscate his properties.
Some of those properties I would sell. Some I would donate - say, give Mar-a-Lago to the Boys and Girls Club with proviso that they retain the place, continue to run it as a private club, and use its profits to fund Boys and Girls Club activities. Donate his Waikiki hotel to the Army and let them use it as an Armed Forces Recreation Center. (Just so you know, the AFRC the Army already runs on Waikiki, the Hale Koa, is within walking distance - well, for an infantryman anyway; it's on the other side of Fort Derussy Beach Park - of Trump's hotel. And it is ALWAYS full.) Sell the Chicago property and the golf courses, except for the one in Palm Beach that will also go to the Boys and Girls Club.
