    Nice to see that Taco is taking his job so very seriously.

    This guy is still spinning over Rosie, FFS. What a gigantic fucking baby he is.

    Seriously, did he hit on her early in her career and she turned him down or something? This is outright obsession. She must have rejected him in a way so emasculating and demeaning and humiliating, and categorically undeniable with such confidence and self-assurance that he has gone full comic book villain. She’s his origin story. He’s still bullying her so hard I think he still wants her. He’s the high school kid who got rejected by his crush and so he becomes her persecutor. Bullying and ostracising at every opportunity - and with a brain so underdeveloped (demented) there is no sense of self-awareness or self-control. He’s basically at the stage of school shooting.

      Don’t underestimate him and assume it’s just a distraction. He’s willing to do far more than this.

        I really don’t like the “it’s a distraction” argument. If everything today is a distraction for yesterday and tomorrow will have more distractions for today, then they are no longer distractions. It’s a figurative shotgun blast of bullshit on a daily basis and hoping most of it sticks.

        Like the gish gallop of authoritarian power. Pretty sure the Nazis did the same.

          Bannon called for it, explicitly - they want to flood the zone with shit, and they hit the ground running with Project 2025 as well as lots of Taco’s personal vendettas and weird proclivities (like the tariffs, like invading Greenland and Panama, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico, etc.).

          Yes. There is no Merlin in a tower exacting immaculate designs through an orb on a table here — it’s just a bunch of people who were raised on the dark liquor of grievance culture who were given power. They’re all taking out their grievances. That’s gonna be the entire story of the next however long. Measure your place in that paradigm and plan accordingly.

      I’m guessing both. He’d do it, might still even try, but this and the tarrifs are to distract everyone from the Epstein debacle.

      Nearly 20 years. I guess his butthurt goes back to 2006 when it comes to Rosie. She told the truth about him and he hates that. She called into question his bullshit image, and of course, he threatened to sue her for making “false statements”.

      Which of course were true statements, and nearly anyone that even looked into Taco back in the 80s would know…I’m sure most Americans that only knew Taco from his stupid game show believed his image of being a self-made bigly successful bidness man.

      Of course, her being an overweight, outspoken lesbian makes him even more angry…lol.

    Isn’t it an international human rights violation to make somebody stateless? For that matter is there literally any legal mechanism in the US to strip citizenship from someone once it has been granted?

        Yeah, the thing about international law is that there’s no real enforcement mechanism. If you break it, either your own country has to arrest you, or you’d have to be dumb enough to travel to a country that will do that. It’s why Putin didn’t travel to South Africa for a summit, and why Netanyahu is happily travelling all over the US and Europe while continuing a genocide.
