TACO Tuesday again:
Trump Extends Iran Cease-Fire Indefinitely With Peace Talks in Limbo

Sure is hard to figure out his end game. I doubt there is one. Does he really think that there will emerge a world where he is king and the rest of the world consists of vassal states? He can't control his own cabinet, ffs. I hope this farce ends soon.

I hope this farce ends soon.

It's starting to happen!

Voters in Virginia approved a Democrat-backed redistricting plan that could swing the balance of power in the House of Representatives and potentially give them up to four more seats. It comes after President Donald Trump last year called for Republicans to launch redistricting efforts in multiple states to help them in the midterm elections.

And:The conspiracy-theory monster that Trump fed could be coming for him

Sycophant stupidity in reality.

Say, are you tired of winning yet?

The real question I'd ask: are you tired of whining?

As for losing, post-sycophants outside of Lula start to wake up:

“As the war with Iran drags on irresolutely, contributing to already sky-high concerns about living costs, Donald Trump’s job-approval metrics continue to slowly but surely erode. Currently, his average net-job-approval percentages at both RealClearPolitics (minus-17.1 percent) and Silver Bulletin (minus-18.8 percent) are at new second-term lows. In just the past week, seven polls have been published showing his job approval below 40 percent, a generally recognized danger zone for any president. A new survey from AP-NORC put Trump’s job approval at 33 percent, about where he stood immediately after January 6, 2021. Worse yet, the intensity gap between those who approve and disapprove of Trump’s job performance is large and growing. Per Silver Bulletin, nearly half — 47.3 percent — of Americans strongly disapprove of the president’s handling of his job, while only 22.1 percent strongly approve.”

Don’t repeat yourself. It’s not only repetitive, it’s redundant, and people have heard it before." -Daniel Handler
I'll add that they continue to avoid taking the sycophant seriously (again).

Good parrot. Here, have a cracker.

Now sit back down at the kiddie table and don't interrupt the adults when they're talking or you won't get any ice cream.

In today's TDS accounts of hypocrisy:

Federal court won't rehear Trump’s appeal of E. Jean Carroll's jury award

“The American People stand with President Trump in demanding an immediate end to the unlawful, radical weaponization of our justice system, and a swift dismissal of all of the Witch Hunts, including the illegal, Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes—the defense of which the Attorney General has determined is legally required to be taken over by the Department of Justice because Carroll based her false claims on the President’s official acts,” a spokesman for Trump’s legal team told CNN

Meanwhile, Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Tuesday over a photo of seashells officials said threatened President Donald Trump

After maybe getting shot at again, the biggest thing on Trump's mind lately seems to be the white house ballroom. I saw an online clip of Lindsey Graham giving some incoherent reasons why it should be built, including some "security stuff". A news item (from FOX?) stated that the ballroom will be built to withstand a nuclear attack. I very much doubt that this is true, but what would be the point of that anyway? Even though everyone else is vaporized, the dancing can go on, is that it?

I saw a peculiar clip of King Charles speaking to Congress during which he called for the support of Ukraine. Both Mike Johnson and JD Vance stood up to applaud. What?

I see that there are occasional mentions of a possible pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. What would be the reason for such a pardon?

Maybe she was at the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol.
