If it were to be declared, it would've already been declared. Trump, at his heart, is a coward and knows that he does not have the military might to enforce martial law.

Ironbite-he's a delusional moron but even he can't use this to his advantage. He wants the cities he's invading to give him that excuse.

Trump has to make it about divisive TALK. If he says the military needs to take control, what will they do? Take away guns?

He also saw what happened in South Korea when its former president declared martial law.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

He usually backs down on these things, but he also signs every piece of paper handed to him whether it's something he's ever heard about before or not.

Except not Epstein birthday notes.

If it works out in his favor, he signed it and it's big, beautiful, nobody does better signatures than him. If it doesn't, it's a lie, a hoax, fake news, and you're all being very mean and unfair. It's what he does.

Trump declines to call for unity after Charlie Kirk killing in stunning move

President tells Fox News ‘the radicals on the left are the problem’ and refuses to seek common way forward

www.theguardian.com

In an interview on Fox & Friends on Friday morning, the US president was asked what he intended to do to heal the wounds of Kirk’s shooting in Utah. “How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?” he was asked by the show’s co-host Ainsley Earhardt, who commented that there were radicals operating on the left and right of US politics.

Less than 48 hours after Kirk was shot in broad daylight on the campus of Utah Valley University, Trump replied: “I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less.”

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

That's probably the most honest statement that's left his Putin-kisser in months.

Looks like Memphis is next.

Is there something they can do in a few weeks that is supposed to have a lasting effect or is it supposed to make people ask for them back after they leave?

A 12-foot golden statue of Donald Trump holding a Bitcoin was unveiled outside the US Capitol

What the hug.

 

[Axaday]

The Onion is going to have to sue the White House.

 

[Pocket]

Can I join that suit? Because uh

Expect the giant golden statue to be announced any day now.

Granted, it's nowhere near as big as I expected, but underwhelming results is his whole thing at this point so it's on brand.

 

[abates]

That is going to have so much jive thrown at it.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Wonder how long until it starts to tarnish and peel the gold plating off.

 

[KidTDragon]

I don't know, but I'm sure all the urine is going to speed up the process.

The Heritage Foundation's plans to brainwash America's youth are in full swing:

U.S. Department of Education, AFPI, TPUSA, Hillsdale College, and Over 40 National and State Organizations Launch America 250 Civics Coalition

The U.S. Department of Education, alongside the America First Policy Institute, Turning Point USA, Hillsdale College, and more than 40 leading national and state-based organizations today announced the launch of the America 250 Civics Coalition.

Wonder how long until it starts to tarnish and peel the gold plating off.

It honestly doesn't even look like real gold in the photos, more like gold colored spraypaint. Though that might just be suboptimal lighting conditions.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Knowing him, he probably ordered solid gold, had the builders make it hollow copper with gold spray paint, and pocketed the difference. And then probably hid the Epstein files inside or something.

So the NYT lawsuit was struck because the lawyers used 80 pages of the 85 page filing to butter up Trump.

Judge Steven D. Merryday (a George H.W. Bush appointee) of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, said the president’s 85-page complaint was unnecessarily lengthy and digressive. He criticized Mr. Trump’s lawyers for waiting until the 80th page to lodge a formal allegation of defamation, and for including, ahead of it, dozens of “florid and enervating” pages lavishing praise on the president and enumerating a range of grievances.

"As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective — not a protected platform to rage against an
adversary. A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally or the functional equivalent of the Hyde Park
Speakers’ Corner.

"This complaint stands unmistakably and inexcusably athwart the requirements of Rule 8. This action will begin, will continue, and will end in accord with the rules of procedure and in a professional and dignified manner. The complaint is STRUCK."
