Be careful, Cole. You might get too much business with that thing!

As the gardener said in Chinatown: “bad for glass.”
ETA: A bit of racist stereotyping that advanced an important plot point, so I’m conflicted.

need a less slim version of Trump for more uncanny valley effect.

it doesn’t even look like him to me.
Looks to me like you’ve been having everyone pee at the base of your willow tree.

I would be happy to pee on that,
Happy birthday. 50’s were a piece of cake for me. My departed mother told me she didn’t feel old until 60 and she wasn’t entirely wrong.

Any wild speculation (or better, some informed speculation) on why Trump ordered all of the reporters out of the White House tonight?

@catclub:
Agreed. Nowhere near enough flab on the sculpture.

@Mary G: Because I am a worrywort, I fear that the next man up (it will be a man) may be slightly less in-it-for-the-grift and somewhat more competent.
But hard to see how anyone could survive the Tulsa Coronapalooza.

@counterfactual: He didn’t want anyone to see his scuttling to the bunker.

Question about Matt Gaetz new found fatherhood/adoption/sub-step-uncle/whatever – was it totally legit for a kid living in his house to get a job as a House page?
MisterForkbeard
@counterfactual: I’m going with “didn’t want them to be around while protesters were doing their thing nearby and getting pushed out” – maybe they didn’t want reporters to see Trump rushing to the bunker again, or maybe they wanted to keep reporters from getting particularly well-framed pictures from the White House.
Or Trump had a medical emergency or something.
MisterForkbeard
@Mary G: Neat. I’ll wait a bit longer for confirmation, but neat. Hopefully Jared comes in to take over.
Kay
OMG. He will not just go away.
Origuy
@trnc: The House Page program ended in 2011. If the kid is 19 now, he could never have been a page.
bluehill
@Mary G: There is also some twitter chatter that Trump can’t fire him because they run payments to Don Jr’s and Eric’s significant others through Brad’s company. Who knows, but another interesting plot twist.
SWMBO
@trnc: Folks have been spelling it Matt Gayetz. Not that I condone such juvenile behavior.
Happy Birthday Cole! Since you can’t get the real Trump or one of his spawn to volunteer to park out front to help water the grass, I guess the sculpture will do. Pro tip from someone who has multiple dogs who like to mark one spot. Put baking soda under it to help keep the smell down and to keep the chemical burns from being as dramatic on the grass.
MisterForkbeard
@Kay: Does the miniseries have Alex Baldwin as Trump? Maybe the whole thing is a comedy?
Anya
@trnc: That whole thing is sketchy. I hope that kid is safe.

Heh. I’d laugh.

@MisterForkbeard:
I can’t believe he got someone to make a miniseries about his massive fuck up where he’s the hero.
What is wrong with people? Why are they encouraging him? He needs to 1. apologize and 2. find some useful, productive under the radar volunteer job to make amends. But quietly.

@Origuy: Just realized it was the Florida House.

@Mary G:
Big deal. Unless he’s a complete idiot—not ruling that out—Parscale has already banked enough money to never have to work again. He doesn’t strike me as an ideological power player. He’s just a website griftlord who struck gold and had the run of a lifetime. He can take his expensive cars and retire to his condo (mansion?) in Florida.
Shame, you say? None of them has any.
Anya
Cole, by putting the Trump bust, considering your state, you’re bringing MAGA trouble to yourself. Be safe, Cole. You never know with the MAGA freaks. You’re insulting their lord and savior.
Speaking of MAGA cult, did any of you read Jeffrey Sharlet’s Vanity Fair piece: “HE’S THE CHOSEN ONE TO RUN AMERICA”: INSIDE THE CULT OF TRUMP, HIS RALLIES ARE CHURCH AND HE IS THE GOSPEL
It’s scary. I don’t think the left has any group similar to this. Not even Bernie’s hardcore supporters reach this level of cult lunacy.
Kay
It’s really bad.
MisterForkbeard
@Kay: I don’t 2want to watch at all. Can someone describe it, at least?

Not seeing anybody mentioning the latest anti-immigrant fear shitting by the whitehouse.

Will screw over Visa holders & H1-B folks until end of December,
What a fucking asshole the entire administration is.
Anya
@Kay: Comey and Trump share egotistical self regard. Like Trump, he is completely and utterly in love with himself and his image as the one true hero of Justice. And he never did a wrong thing in his entire life.
namekarB
Now Parscale will have time to write a tell all book. He can get around the nondisclosure by making it fiction and using Alec Baldwin as the main prop. These guys have no loyalty, they are in it for the money and the book will just be adding a second helping to his plate.
HumboldtBlue
Someone ’round here got some Rochester roots, the kids are all right up thataway.
Anya
@Kay: I don’t get her logic. If Trump can’t fill out an arena in a solidly RED state why does she think he’ll fare better in a purple state?
Kay
@MisterForkbeard:
She states definitely that Biden is a “flawed candidate” with no explanation, that apparently being so much the conventional wisdom among the NYTimes political team that it is beyond question. IMO you can tell this is the theme they have all settled on- that Biden has no independent appeal, that he is only ahead because Trump has not yet recovered the manly magic they all remember from the 2016 campaign. She says it like it’s a given because it IS a given, among the people she talks to.
It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter why they think he’s ahead or their prickly defensiveness of Donald Trump’s political appeal. It just matters that he is ahead. But they’re still horrible.

Happy birthday to you.

@Kay: I’m astounded that anyone was willing to put up the money for that, but I gotta say, the casting is interesting, including Joe Lo Truglio, whom you may know from such sitcoms as Brooklyn 9something, and maybe other sitcoms I don’t know him from, as Jeff Sessions. And there’s a lot chew on with John Boy Walton cast as Chuck Rosenberg, if you’re a watcher of both MSNBC and The Americans, as I am, and remember the Waltons, as I do.
Comey should donate any money he got to the cause of HRC’s choice.
Kay
@Jim, Foolish Literalist:
I just love how they think “both sides” is Comey v Trump. Comey is on my side? Jesus Christ. How did I get stuck with him? I don’t want him. Not on my side. Trump should thank his lucky stars ever day for Comey. He’s the best thing that ever happened to Donald Trump.
The movie should be titled “how these two egotistical assholes ruined everything they touched”
Kay
@MisterForkbeard:
This is all anyone had to know about the NYTimes political team :

@Anya:
Now the campaign knows that they have to pay more people to attend. That is how trump gets bigger crowds.

Absolutely hideous.
They are furious that they haven’t been able to find their ” BUT HER EMAILS ” -2020 version.
They want it so bad.
They want for Biden to have just one of the regular rallies , so that ONE PERSON CAN GET COVID-19
And they will have their BOTH SIDES
They want it so Damn bad.

@Sure Lurkalot: 50s and 60s … My FIL had a book on his shelf “Oh to Be 50 Again”. I looked at it in my 40s and said WHUT? Now some distance past 60 I understand.

@Tom Levenson:
He might be more competent, it’s doubtful of course, but the grifting part will be true. Of course how many grifters are left that are willing to run the through the shitstorm that is trump for a few bucks and all of it promised after delivery? His record precedes him. One might think that anyone who would agree to those terms would be all in and therefore NVB. That’s Not Very Bright if you were wondering. Any one with the skills to bring him back from this will have to be worth far more than shitforbrains will offer him, let alone pay.

I wonder if it will make him more money than skimming from the campaign.

@HumboldtBlue: That’s pretty impressive for Pittsford. It’s one of those tony, white-privilege-HQ suburbs where the money lives. To get 200 people to show up is indeed noteworthy. Thanks for sharing!

I would kick that thing in its smirking fucking face. But I’d probably only do that twice, and then I’d be sure to bring a big bucket with me to put over it so I didn’t have to look at it again the next time I walked my dog.
While it’s something of a public service to give people an opportunity to kick, spit or pee on Trump, I’m not sure, if I were a neighbor of yours, that I wouldn’t be thinking, “Wow, he really hates us.”

Did you really purchase this?
