Like releasing his taxes? Like a universal healthcare plan? Like the Epstein Files?

Face it, Trump has planted the US face-to-ass into another forever war.

      He does, he knows most people will have forgotten what he said two weeks prior

        This, and not ironically.

        It is a slippery thing, this two weeks — not a measurement of time so much as a placeholder. Two weeks for Mr. Trump can mean something, or nothing at all. It is both a yes and a no. It is delaying while at the same time scheduling. It is not an objective unit of time, it is a subjective unit of time. It is completely divorced from any sense of chronology. It simply means later. But later can also mean never. Sometimes.

      Nobody wants to get fired so they keep telling him just two more weeks, and he’s too senile to feel the passage of time or form memories.

      Yes, and he plans to do something extra crazy in the next two weeks to (hopefully) make you talk about something else.

      Incoming headline: “Donald Trump plans to blow up moon, says it ruins night sky”

      Itd be nice if congress did their damned job and followed the law around trumps ability to command the armed forces indefinitely into war without congress declaring war.

      Just once they could do their jobs. Its not a lot to ask.

        Look at the calibre of people that take those seats in Congress now, they hide and follow and know nothing else. The other sort of person who in the past would have led is weeded out early in their political career by a press owned by the people who own everything else.

    When I used to work with kids, if they wanted to know how long it would be until something, and they wouldn’t take “I don’t know” as an answer, I always said 15 minutes. Short enough that they’d stop asking, but long enough that they would go off, do something else, and forget about it.

    2 weeks folks.

    Obama’s kenyan birth certificate was promised to everyone “in two weeks” 16 years ago, so I guess we’re probably in this for the next 16 years.

      Right around this time is when I realized it was too late, some people just don’t want to listen to reality.

      It was so easy to prove that false and people ran with it anyway.

        It should have been immediately disqualifying for any presidential candidate and then he’s vomited out a constant stream of even more disqualifying things on a daily basis since then and no one has held him accountable yet. I can’t believe so many people are so divorced from reality and intelligence that he hasn’t been tossed into the sun by this point.

    Wonder how many days that is in human time. He would finish the Ukraine war in 24h, so something tells me it’s about 700 weeks or so.

    The same two weeks I’ve waited through both his presidencies for him to address infrastructure?

    Do rapists experience time in a different way than everyone else?
