Today in Cute!
Have a great day!
I really enjoyed the mug shot. Everything I hoped for!
I’ve never paid attention to the size of presidential motorcades, but now I have to wonder if he’s filling in more cars just so it’s bigger than Biden’s.
I love that his height is listed at 6’3″ and his weight at 215. That’s practically athletic. Dude cannot stop lying about this.
I’m six feet and close to 240, and I’m not nearly as corpulent as that fat fuck. He’s gotta be pushing 3 bills.
I’m six feet and 200 lbs, and I basically look stocky, but I can still see my belt buckle. There’s no way he’s 215.
Local police trying to make a statement.
Are we seeing *any* comparison memes yet, between Trumpty-Dumpty’s *oh so obviously practiced picture* and Ben Stiller’s Zoolander “Blue Steel” duckface?
Because he *so* looked like he was trying to be a bad-ass, but he honestly reminded me of Stiller as that dolt!😆😂🤣
With that height/weight listing, the obvious phrase for meme-ing on that Trumpty-dumpty picture should be,
“But, Why Male Models?!?”

Guns don’t kill people. It’s actually the bullets. Fired from the gun. By the person holding it.
This is a rundown of what happened to Vlad’s other victims:
What happened to Putin’s other foes or rivals?
Spoiler alert: Poisoning is the number one answer, followed by mysterious shooting. “Explosion” is a new one; Vlad is branching out.
I thought falling out of windows was # 1.
Me, too! I found this surprising. Maybe he just uses windows for people who inconvenience him, and saves the poison for people he really dislikes.
I just wish Vlad had a better approach at the plate with RISP ffs.
There are only so many windows in Moscow.
Inflation has really raised the price of windows after all the damage Russia has done to Ukraine buildings.
Hmmm, I wonder how they will rule?

Did you know one of the best things about a RICO case is they can take all the money you made in your crimes? I wonder if this has anything to do with that?

Something is hinky about that report. The tabloid that MSN scraped the story from cites Zillow, of all places, and says MAL sold for $422 million despite an estimated value of around $24 million.
Zillow definitely shows it as sold for $422 Million on 8/4/23. If story is true, something is very shady…
https://www.zillow.com/homes/1100-s-ocean-blvd-palm-beach-fl-33480_rb/306155527_zpid/
It’s got to be worth $422 million! According to the Trumps, Mar-a-Lago has more square footage than the Pentagon! Every unit has 18 bathrooms, all of which are the same size as a football field. Residents have monorails that take them from their bedrooms to their front doors.
Surely the Trumps wouldn’t lie, and overstate property values. Why, that would be unethical.
The Trump corporation has been technically under the leadership of the boys for a while, and dad always plays games with where titles move around between shell corporations. My guess is that whatever database Zillow pulls from isn’t set up to reflect any of the craziness that he does.
One of the odd things recently is why did Trump go through a bail bondsman instead of paying the whole bail himself?

In one way it makes a bit of sense — it may have let him shift the extra cost to a PAC. But on the other hand, it extends his legal liability if he defaults, and bondholders often have extra options for chasing down defaulters that regular debt holders don’t have. Weird that a guy in his situation does this.
He’s got a piece of the action when the Dog The Bounty Hunter: Trump Edition airs. Grifters gonna grift,
They could be taking money from “investors” again….
It’s *probably* the ‘ol shell game, “borrowing” from the campaign coffers yet again, and *not* a sudden flip like that other Palm Beach mansion a few years back…
But with ol Don-the-Con’s mention of fleeing to Russia the other day, it kiiiiinda feels like it’d be remiss, if we didn’t at least mention this old gem of a quote;
…”Most notably, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. made that very claim at a real estate conference in New York in 2008, saying ‘Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.” Donald Trump Jr. added, “we see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.'”
Beavers referred to as “brunch managers” at the Oregon Zoo? Fantastic.

Nice beaver.
