Can’t he sell platinum Trump steaks?
Russia won’t give him platinum, maybe depleted uranium or plutonium though.
Side note, i recently found out the guy Bill is playing is Matthew Perry’s step dad.
“Yoink!”
That looks to be a cello or bass… Violins would have a chin rest.
I tried zooming in on the headstock to see which direction the tuners point, but the image is all fucky.
On the shoulders alone, I’d say it’s probably a cello although there are basses with round shoulders.
Unless of course it’s made for a tardigrade which, like Donald Trump Jr, doesn’t have a chin to make a chin rest at all useful.
does he not look well rested to you
Unfortunately, tardigrades love the bass and cello and hate violins so the only way to get a photo of one playing the violin would be to fake it somehow
The bow is also on the wrong side of the bridge. Though now that I think of it, that might produce an even higher sound like you would expect of a microscopic violin?
He’s not even holding the bow at the frog. I’m beginning to question if he even knows how to play the violin.
Look, he’s trying, ok? He only started learning last week and it’s an instrument made for a completely different physiology!
With all the legs and fingery things, I feel like tardigrades would probably be better at playing the world’s smallest clarinet.
I think he’d do a superb job with @FlyingSquid’s trombone, too.
I mean, just look at him.
If you’re such a critic, you try teaching a tardigrade how to play a stringed instrument then.
I’d like to subscribe to your tardigrade facts newsletter, please.
That’s for a human grade violin. This is tardi grade.
Now THIS is a mene pic!
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.
It’s actually quite small.
I see what you did there
I had to use a microscope to see it, but I also saw what was done there
The greatness/size ratio is off the charts!
It’s bigger than my dick.
Wow, that must be a really, really tiny violin. Where can you even get that?!
Micronesia
Well there’s clearly a tardigrade conspiracy here that you’re trying to cover up.
A real Grade T conspiracy
Minuscule Music and More. It’s on the miracle mile right next to Kohls.
I got mine at Instruments by the Nanometer in Copenhagen!
The one in Nørrebro or Valby?
The new one by Ørstedsparken
Surprise me.
Be surprised. James now has the legal right to start seizing his assets in New York.
Hopefully we’ll see this by autumn.
I literally LOL’d at that one. smh.
If we’re lucky, it will sell out-of-state fireworks this summer.
sooner better. start selling his assets on the auction block. we’ll never recoup all the harm he has done, but we can do something.
“billionaire” lol - a lot is already happening
“Your honour my client only cosplays as a billionaire”
“No rational person would believe my client is an actual billionaire. Ask Fox!”
Nothing is ever black and white. This is just a stalling tactic or another attempt to reduce the penalty or mitigate the situation until he’s past voting time.
If he wins he’ll just wheel and deal to get others to pay for favors. He’s not banking on losing.
Yeah, I don’t want to be defeatist but he has weaseled out of every single consequence so far.
I’ll believe the consequences when they actually happen. And when they do… Oh boy… I might soil my pants!
Consequences are for the poor and unpopular. The legal system is just there to protect the wealthy owners, it’s not there to deliver justice.
Lock him up
As much as I want Trump to be locked up, it would have to be for one of his multiple criminal indictments. Locking people up for not being able to pay fines is basically recreating debtors prisons and is hugely unfair to poor people.
That’s already the case for everyone else, let’s make it apply to the biggest piece of garbage in the world.
The aggression in Liotta’s laugher makes it the most appropriate gif.
Leticia James is a bad ass who painted this guy into a corner. I love it.
He’s got to be fuming. He’s managed to go 75 years without ever being held accountable by anyone for anything. And now it’s happening. He’ll drain the RNC by August.
Does the Rnc have $400 million on hand to pay his for him?
No
$8 Million in cash on hand at the start of 2024 per FEC filings. So no.
Awww, I love this for him. <3
I’m late, but better late than never!
I wasn’t sure it would happen, but I hoped.
lol, what a loser
PSA: it’s not over yet, they have until 25th of March. Don’t discard a boatload of rubles showing up on March 24th.
I was curious, so I did the (lazy) math.
1 USD is going for about 90 Rubles currently.
Assuming a Ruble is roughly the size of a USD…
A $1M USD stack made of 100 x $10,000, or 10 x 10 stacks measures 12" across x 13" front to back x approx. 5" tall. That is 780 cubic feet or a bit more than 22 cubic meters.
At $464 USD, assuming 90 Ruples per USD and that Rubles are roughly the same dimension as a USD (464 x 90 x 780 or 22) we get 32,572,800 cubic feet or 918,720 cubic meters.
Cargo ship size is usually measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container. The internal volume of one of these containers is 1,172 cubic feet or 33.2 cubic meters.
Assuming a standard container size, it would take 28,710 TEUs to move the entire Trump bond via ship. The maximum TEU of the largest container ship listed on Wikipedia is 24,232, leaving Trump 4478 TEUs, 5,248,216 cubic feet or 143,296 cubic meters, and $72M short.
TL;DR: Even with the biggest boatload of Rubles, Trump would still come up short on the bond.
12" across x 13" front to back x approx. 5" tall. That is 780 cubic feet or a bit more than 22 cubic meters.
I’m not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou.
Bake 'em away toys! Amazing what misunderstanding ’ vs " can do.
That or Saudi Riyal. People are going to vote for this guy?
Yeah for real. Putin may be a dick, but unlike Trump he is way ahead in the dictator plays and is estimated to be sitting at well over 100 billion USD. 500 million to bail out the US president who would gladly take the U.S. out of NATO for him seems absolutely reasonable.
Oh that’s my birthday. What a good present to have if Letitia James starts selling his shit then.
Like the Alexander Navalny tower, formerly named Trump tower.
/RemindMe! In 7 days to wish stinerman a happy birthday.
Now even our Gloriously Orange Saviour’s lawyers are spouting FAKE NEWS! Bunch of LINOs!
There’s no bond! There’s no judgement! Some very smart folks are saying there may not even be a legal system! Have you ever actually SEEN a judge?
Fear not, our Incredibly Patriotic and Stable Genius is still running the show from Truthy Social.
Ok, hopefully that’s everyone inoculated.
I think that inoculation caused me to become magnetic.
Quick, take a shower!
I need innoculation against Fucker Carlson please.
Aww, that’s too bad.
So anyway, what are you guys up to this week?
I’m sorry, so sorry. Please accept my apology 😭.
Applying for emergency funding grant from my workplace to move back home and get a new home. Things are actually looking pretty good for me after seven months of living a complete and utter nightmare. When I got the news that I will probably be given the financial assistance I finally need as long as my paperwork is in line, I had to step off the sales floor and going to the bathroom and cry a little bit. I had a really good day today.
It’s been over all time since had something to hope for
So many good feels from a trump thread. Never expected that!
Neither did I, to be honest. My birthday was on Friday, and I turned 45, and my family had abandoned me. And it was so bad that I had to keep myself from crying all day at work. But today was a good day. And I’ll take it.
Yep, take every win. And maybe when you’re sitting up late at night and the sleep’s not coming, just think about this win. Just a bit. It’s kinda fun to do.
Happy belated birthday! I sincerely hope things get better soon.
Wow! Good for you! Also, thanks for being real! Hope everything stays on this path! Don’t let the bumps bring you down!
Thanks!
Good luck, hope everything works out and you can get to a place that makes you happy!
Right On!
