“181 yards into a slight wind….that sailed magnificently into a rather strong wind.”

I mean if you’re full of shit at least keep your story straight.  Remember that good liars give details and even better liars don’t.  

And I checked. The average PGA tour pro hits their 5i 195 yards and the senior tour (which starts at 50) hits their 5i 185. So I’m sure an out of shape guy pushing 80 hits his 5i 180 yards into a slight / substantial wind. 
 

Of all his bullshit not sure why this irritates me so much.  Probably still brooding over my near miss a few weeks ago (8i from 170 - negligible wind) or his ongoing treason. Must be one of those things 

Hell, I'm 57 and a single digit handicap.  I hit my 5 iron 175-180.  There's no way he hit a real 5 iron that far into the wind.  Of course the loft on my 5 iron is probably at least 5 degrees higher than whatever club he was hitting that had a 5 stamped on it.

That’s because there is no lesson to be learned. He can do whatever he wants, say whatever he wants, with no negative consequences.
If there’s a lesson, it’s “be even more outrageous, the GQP loves it.”

i was really just making a post-impeachment susan collins joke.

I mean, didn't you post 87 yesterday?

(snark aside, he's definitely old, and definitely a single-digit handicap)

48 on the front actually. Still rehabbing the shoulder. Haven’t played a full round since November.

Yeah.....still too soon, man.

i feel you. but here's the joke.

trump tries to strongarm/extort zelensky into announcing an investigation into biden.  he gets impeached for it.

collins (and every other r) votes not to convict, citing all sorts of bullshit.  collins literally says, "i think he's learned his lesson."

ok, let's analyze this.  when she said it, whether she believed it or not, one would assume her meaning was "he won't do something this flagrant again".  surely she didn't say it in reference to him doing...the exact same fucking thing again.

and here we are, and he's doing the exact same fucking thing again.

counting the 'russia, if you're listening' bit, this is really the 3rd time.  most people run for office and try to highlight their good qualities, accomplishments, potential.  this is a non-starter for ole donny, so yeah, it's no wonder his playbook has one play in it.

and guess what, whatever comes of it will provide just enough cover for spineless "republicans" all over the country to hold their nose and vote for him.  not to mention the local officials who will use it to justify their outright fuckery if the numbers don't line up.

You know, this is too close to the truth.  It’s kind of like how the “Constitution of the United Kingdom” isn’t written down somewhere in one place and a lot of it is just “we agree these are the rules.”

John Adams said that the Constitution is for a moral and religious people and not for any other. Substitute the 18th century “religion” for “temperate and decent” and …. Yeah.  Our constitution is really thin. It’s designed for people who want to respect it. 

Any Isaac Asimov fans here?  Remember the Foundation Series?  Trump is like the mule in that he manipulates the emotional responses of his audience.  I think it is also eerie that the timeline for the Foundation series started in 2021.

White Trumpers:  "That's bullshit, fucking Socialist Europeans!  What the fuck do they know about strong leadership?  Trump is awesome!"

Also White Trumpers: "I'm 100% pureblood European, everything my people does is superior!"

The Mule had psychic abilities, like the members of the Second Foundation, like Joseph Schwartz in Pebble in the Sky, and eventually like R. Daneel Olivaw. Trump is a snake oil salesman and a carnival barker. He isn’t like any of them. The Mule was the bad guy and Trump is the bad guy and that’s where the similarity ends.

Counterpoint: they are both manipulative clowns.

He very well might've fallen ass-backwards into a hole-in-one -- hell, I'm a 22-ish handicap and I've come close a time or two and DOTARD plays a metric shit-ton more golf than I do -- but it wasn't with a 5-iron. It was with his driver or 3-wood.

I’ll never be able to wrap my head around it. I really thought everyone knew he was a buffoon and his popularity was as someone we were all laughing at. He’s a cartoon character. To suddenly find that so many people actually took him seriously was a shock. 

The Trump vote in 2016 and 2020 proved how unserious many Americans view our “establishment” politicians, from both parties. And they’re not entirely wrong. Many of them are clowns with no agency beyond their handlers. You’d think there’d be some self reflection on that but nope.

Trump screwed over the White House photographer for some $$$. Absolutely something a billionaire would do. 

 

Skinflint, cheesedick motherfucker.

Also prompts the question, who the fuck owns the copyright to those photos?

The best part is, under Obama and GWB, the WH photog published their own photo book and both of them wrote forewords, for free.

Fucking trump wanted 10% of her advance.

So he paid a woman he DIDN'T want to have sex with $130,000?   Imagine what he'd pay a woman he WANTS to have sex with?  Ivanka could get billions potentially.

to be fair, that's actually one of the more normal physical appearances Trump has made in recent memory.  He's standing by, waiting to get accolades, smiles, a little creepy...but not really all that weird.  The weird part is Gibbs' attempting levity and power while sounding like he's being made to film a "proof of life" video by his kidnappers. 

Gibbs has the charisma and spine of Madison Cawthorn at a key party.

According to the article, they are in public domain.

There is no legal prohibition on Mr. Trump assembling and publishing photographs that a White House staff member took during his tenure; under federal law, those photographs are considered in the public domain and not subject to copyright.

People who treat the “help” like “help” should be shot into the sun.

The grand irony is that by saying he didn't want to do it, he is admitting to doing it -  when before he said he didn't do it. armed with this new info Stormy should go after his ass again

Turns out, in addition to being a blowhard and a crook, Avenatti was a pretty shitty lawyer.  The main reason she lost is that he blew an appeal deadline.

Sure enough.  I have gone 30 years as an IP lawyer ignoring section 105:

105. Subject matter of copyright: United States Government works37

(a) In General.—Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise.

In Trump’s mind, everyone in the world will want to buy multiple copies of the book because he is in it… that 10% is probably a billion dollars.
