American Politics 4.0 - Orangeyou Glad He’s Back?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Lol if grab em by the puss didn't hurt him back in the day, why would that?

[Coach]

Yeah, it all DID come out in 2015. That's why this Epstein stuff makes me laugh now. Like, everyone just figured this out now?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Oh we all knew. But MAGA, or at least a small portion of them anyway, are now starting to realize Trump is just another one of the "pedo elites" they hate so much.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I gotta think we are closing in on him starting to use the N-word as a distraction attempt (also WTF is the baseball original six???.)

[Flashpoint]

Gosh what a surprise. The allegations have strengthened his base and support.

“Thank God for Dems and media overreach on this,” said a person close to the administration, granted anonymity to speak candidly. “It saves us every time.”
Trump has denied the existence of the letter and POLITICO has not verified it. Still, two White House officials, granted anonymity to speak about internal dynamics, agreed that the Wall Street Journal story could offer a strategic and timely advantage, allowing the president to attack his enemies and remind the base of the fight they believe they are in together.

Demanding coke change their sugar and sports teams change their names. Important subjects for presidents to deal with.

I'm a reasonable fan of baseball history, I'm not sure there is an ensconced 'original 6' concept in baseball but if there was, Cleveland wouldn't be there- it is a long standing franchise sure, and one of the original AL franchises by 1901 or so- of course prior to being called the Indians they were also the Columbus Buckeyes, Columbus Senators, Grand Rapids Furniture Makers, and the Cleveland Blues, Lakeshores, Broncos, Bluebirds, Blues and Naps prior to journalists (Gasp!!) picking the Indians monicker

Ive seen a few places in the US now advertising that they serve the cane sugar Coke thanks to trump...except they fail to mention that its from Mexico.
Also dont they make high fructose corn syrup using corn grown in the US? And sugar cane is not grown there.

[Barnet Flame]

Yeah, I rarely go to Trump when I want to check facts.

[Drak]

Trump throwing out distractions again.

If Trump wants to replace HFCS in beverages with real sugar this is something we should all get behind. Bring back the sugar!

Don Jr. wants the cocaine put back into Coca Cola.

Visitors to the United States will need to pay a $250 “visa integrity fee,” according to a provision of the Trump administration’s recently enacted#One Big Beautiful Bill Act. #

The fee applies to all visitors who need#nonimmigrant visas#to enter, and cannot be waived.

Details about the new requirement are scant, which has resulted in “significant challenges and unanswered questions regarding implementation,” said a spokesperson from the U.S. Travel Association#

About goddamned time! If the world is going to slide into Hell we may as well have a blast doing it!

There’s a large Hispanic population in my town so Mexican Coke is common here.

We also have cut up sugar cane stalks that actually taste pretty good. Most of the time it’s from the cane fields around Lake Okeechobee, but sometimes it’s from Mexico.

Lol. Cocaine is Mexican Percocet here.

But, if someone wants you to get them a Coke, you would ask regular or Mexican.

He goes another step in his Commanders tantrum

"I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

So what the real takeaway from this is he is all over the Epstein evidence and hes a rapist and wants to distract people.

Sugar is grown down here, it’s a huge lobby. The thing is we wouldn’t be able to grow enough sugar to supply Coke.

The Fanjul Corporation owns Florida Crystals. One brother donates to the the Democrats; the other, to the Republicans.

One of the brothers was on the phone with Clinton as he was in the Oval Office with Monica Lewinsky. Of course that was a bit if gossip around here for a while.

At least it does look like the fee is refunded, though it's not clear how travellers get it back.

From the same article you linked.

To get their money back, visa holders must comply with the conditions of the visa, which includes “not accept[ing] unauthorized employment,” and not overstay the visa validity date by more than five days, according to the provision.

Reimbursements will be made after the travel visa expires, it says..
