Trump Got Tired Of Waiting On GOP Lawmakers To Decide Whether To Relinquish Their Authority

Popes take a new name when elevated. I suggest he take the name Gosteveezel.

Pope Gosteveezel.

Because “Pope Mephisto I” would be just a little bit too obvious.

It’s not a gamble it’s an assurance.

I, on the other hand, am a scurvy knave.

I’m headed out to the g-r-o-c-e-r-y store, which of these can I pick up for you?
Oranges, Grapefruit, Kiwi, Strawberries, Bell peppers, Guava, Papaya, and Mango.

@irasdad

Austromenopon or Cataglyphis.

You know I had to google both of those.

Good thing he didn’t have you google Priapulus caudatus

Fresh limes. Squeeze one into a tumbler of water, add ice (gin optional). Mighty refreshing.

@thunderclapnewman

This should be expanded to cover all the other EOs Trump issued to punish other law firms, and should render the concessions some firms made null and void as well.

And the clients of those firms should carefully consider the implications, as well.

Limes duh!

edit: I see that Limey Ralph beat me to it!

@darrtown

big balls

Blue balls is more like it

[lastroth]

So no key lime pie?

@brian512

More Fundie (many of whom don’t actually consider us Papists to be Christians at all).

That’s ok, because we consider them heretics anyways. And the “Prosperity gospel” really cements their heresy.

I know, I knew he’d sold data already. I don’t care if he can shave, I do care if he’s a crook. I suppose those are plusses for his masters though.

Cranberries. They store well.

Big rubber ones, for everyone?

Trump will reluctantly step back from the ledge.

I think this is awfully optimistic. I was reading a piece in Wapo about rosy-bespectacled traders making the same sort of assumptions: that Trump would “come to his senses” and all would be okay.

If he came to his senses tomorrow, stores would still start to have empty shelves in a few weeks. Fewer than normal cargo ships are leaving China for US ports, and the ones that are leaving are lightly loaded. The ripple-down effects on product ordering and trucking have started to kick in, and that supply chain including 30-40 day cargo ship travel time will take months to recover. The pain will hit consumers very soon and there’s nothing Trump can do about it.

This may or may not be related, but I did our weekly grocery shopping at the local Safeway yesterday. My wife checked the receipts as she always does, to see how much money we saved with coupons. She was surprised to see that items she tagged online for coupons were only showing a few pennies discounted, instead of the normal amount. Maybe a precursor to pulling back on discounts with margins getting tighter for the store, and big price jumps on the horizon?

Rum’s traditional.

……and all that gold……

And the ceremonial accoutrements and antiques.

But, does the pope have a golf course? Not happening unless there is a golf course in there somewhere.

That came dangerously close to exceeding my “Christamighty!” quota for the day.

I used to buy them at the local Publix. They were next to the canned tuna. Labled Chicken Of The Trees…
