I can easily see the entire Reno Sheriff’s department being hired as the new Secret Service. Oh damn I want that to happen now.

It’s nice to see Cobb still politically active at 139 years old

Ty Cobb asked if he could come, but none of us could stand the son of a bitch when we were alive, so we told him to stick it Henry Hill laugh

He'll build his own White House...with blackjack...and hookers. In fact, forget the White House!

Sure thing, Ty. Except all the normal, well adjusted people of average intelligence saw ALL of this coming years ago. But you? You worked for, enabled, and defended the guy.
This says everything I need to know about your character, judgement, intelligence, or all of the above.
Yeah, who could possibly have know that all of this would happen, Ty?
These fucking people. Always after they do crimes, damage, lie, cheat, harm the country, and defend the unending lawlessness.
Grotesque.
No. Just fuck all the way off, Ty.
Really, we’ve all heard enough from you for a lifetime.

Back to the Future called it. Biff even looks like Trump. Also, Marty's mom with all the plastic surgery.

"Back to the Future writer Bob Gale has revealed that the trilogy’s villain Biff Tannen is based on Donald Trump, putting an end to fan speculation."

Ty Cobb participated in efforts to steal the 2020 election, so fuck him. He’s a traitorous piece of shit. I don’t wanna see his face, and I don’t wanna hear what he has to say. As far as I’m concerned he belongs in prison.

Actually there's no evidence that Ty Cobb participated in any of the 2020 Republican electoral subversion attempts, and has actually been a vocal critic of the whole thing. Additionally, even when he was Trump's lawyer he was a vocal supporter of the Mueller Investigation and Robert Mueller himself.

Here he is standing behind Giuliani at a press conference where Giuliani details the efforts they’re taking to steal the election and invalidate the will of the voters. His complacency is participation. This is really heinous stuff we’re talking about here and he went along with it.
Fuck him.

Comparing an Epstein compromised government, to sex work & the city of Las Vegas, is insulting to sex work, & the city of Las Vegas.

And Ty Cobb, like John Bolton before him, played a major part in getting where we are today.
You don’t get to call out how bad it is now without admitting you caused the problem.

Turning? 1.0 it was a venal fest of prescription drugs and cabinet members having sex with each other. What's changed?

The most accurate headline to be written in a long, long time. How sad is this, it never needed to be this way, all of the brave people that fought and lost their lives through the years, all of the immigrants on whose back America was proudly built, and this is what it has become. Hopefully positive change is just around the corner, everything will right itself in time, this too shall pass.

The Donald J. Trump White House Ballroom and Casino can't ever go bankrupt when the federal government is the partner that eats all the loses.

Honestly, a Vegas inspired whorehouse would be an upgrade.
It would certainly be cleaner and more honest.

I don't understand. I bought land, tilled it, seeded it with Brawdo. Where's the fruit?
Any smart guys in here ?

If the world can't have a President Camacho, then at least next time (if there is a next time), elect a president like him. Here:
And it's hard to believe that the world was once shocked by the Monica Lewinsky scandal, when something much worse was lurking beneath the surface.
And a mix of a Whorehouse and Las Vegas is, all things considered, somehow an improvement—at least it's a place where people have fun.

The cope that other magats have when people of their own party say things like this is unbelievable. Usually it’s “it sounds like they have sour grapes about something”. Yeah, no way that anyone could just one day wake up from the cult. I remember when a former Trump supporter and high ranking military office was warning us not to vote for him in 2020 I posted it saying “see?! A respectable military guy who actually supported him” and of course my uncle’s only time he replies to anything I post is when it’s anti-Trump and said it must be some crybaby shit. Fucking psychos.

Are we really in a world where you can just say Ty Cobb and everyone knows you aren't talking about the racist ballplayer from the early 1900s?

A whorehouse and Las Vegas would be infinitely preferable to whatever Lovecraftian horrors we are currently cursed with.

I mean, that’s his whole aesthetic. That’s what a soulless shit fiend perceives is the epitome of class. Even the gold accents in the oval office are cheap, spray painted molding because he’s too cheap to actually guild them. Tacky is his signature “style!”

I don't think it's just now "Turning into..." anything, Ty. You were fucking there on the ground floor.
