Well Trump is now officially a convinced felon after sentencing.

This is really pissing him off as it is unlikely he can make this go away, so that's something.

Karen Pence snubbed Donald and Melania at Carters funeral, and Obama drew the short straw and had to sit next to Trump.

4 living presidents attended along with one convicted felon.

What will be the payback from the first Felon President? I envision the many ways he will be trying to or getting even with all he blames.

Once he has the power to...

Now your a felon, your a felon.....with jail time!

Looking at the bright side if any, Dipshit Trump will be busy with grievance and revenge that Project 2025 will remain on paper unimplemented. But the DOGE bros Musk and Swamy are entirely another matter with likes of Bezos and Zuck going along for the ride hoping to line their pockets while totally dismantling our government. Why would anyone kneecap the IRS if we are running serious deficits? Isn't that a license to steal for the 'haves"? I expect a serious brain drain from our governmental agencies making them totally ineffective and bet Biden and the Dems will be blamed for this too like the fires in LA.

The House and the Senate might as well take a two year recess and just come in to vote for the Trump agenda, tax cuts for the rich and poverty for the rest.

I was disappointed that her husband shook his hand rather than following her lead.

Yes, it is Don. Do you have differing evidence?

Yes, but Mike Pence refers to her as Mother.

Several days after the inaugural, Rolling Stone published a 6,500-word profile on Pence, which revealed a colorful detail about the vice president and the second lady. Citing an anonymous source, the magazine reported that Pence refers to wife Karen as "Mother."

“Canada is mobilizing to help fight the wildfires in southern California. Canadian water bombers are already in action. 250 firefighters are ready to deploy,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote in a post on X Thursday.

“To our American neighbours: Canada’s here to help.”

But that same day, Trump had a very different perspective on the relationship between neighbors: “We don’t need anything,” he said during a press conference in Palm Beach, Florida, not speaking about the wildfires specifically but just generally complaining because that’s what he does.

“We don’t need their fuel, we don’t need their energy, we don’t need their oil and gas. We don’t need anything that they have,” Trump continued.

“And I said to Trudeau, I said, ‘Why are, why are we subsidizing you 200 a—250 billion dollars a year? And he said, ‘I really don’t know.’ And I said, ‘Well, I don’t know either.’ I said, ‘What would happen to Canada if we didn’t?’ He said, ‘Canada would be obliterated.’ I said, ‘Well, then Canada should be a fifty-first state.’
What a disgusting scumbag and we need to put up with this crap for the next four years.

Don, have you bought SO fully into the derogatory use of the name "Karen" as a slur against a bossy white woman that any time the name is being used, even for someone whose real name IS Karen, that you feel the need to question it?

Oh, and, another general observation, this one regarding Mr. Pence;

I realize calling your spouse, the mother of your children, "Mother" or "Mom" is common, especially in the presence of the children, but the reality is that it's pure relationship poison. After a while, it becomes almost impossible to become aroused for a woman you've come to think of as "Mom"
