He was trying to get a walk-on in Clerks III but nobody told him it came out already.

Dude, if you ever gave me this as a gift our relationship would be over and that would be grounds for a divorce! ><

I'm not certain how many hotels and golf courses have been sold off and how the lawsuits are holding up, but it sure sounds like somebody wants more cash.

I thought that those NFT trading cards were a Steven Colbert joke, but I guess that they're the 'real deal' after all.

I can just hear his voice while reading this.

**** NFTs, sell like those hologram type cards, the ones that kinda/sorta animate when you tilt them, but do it with his hand motions.

This idea: Tell us that you're completely detached from regular people and that you think they are extremely gullible and easily led without saying so.

He/they think $99 per card is nothing? Esp right now after the economy has been crappy and now people are racking up the debt for the holidays. And act like buying 45 of them ($4,455!) is just a normal thing too? Way to restrict it to the rich. What people do with their money is on them, though if any not-rich fan of his is in so deep as to actually spend that for a chance to meet their idol, that's as gross as mega churches and the tv evangelists trying to convince poor people to hand over what little money they have.

However, scrolling that page IS frigging hilarious. I needed the laugh lately.

The "art" just kills me that it's that sort of fan art people were making during his term, the stuff where they turn him into a completely fictional caricature (with a different body type no less) in order to make him cooler.

For the first time, you can celebrate the life and career of President Donald Trump through his first official Digital Trading Card collection.
Dear god I love that part. I totally remember when he was a comic book superhero, a cowboy, a jet pilot, an astronaut... Remember guys?

Elon Musk and Kanye probably bought 95% of it. :tlol:


edit: Since they were accepting crypto... that could have gone very wrong for them over night if this was released just before that big crypto company collapsed due to fraud and suddenly became useless. lol

Omg. :lol: If it cost like 25 cents I might even buy one.

Trump already killing the 2024 for republicans election in slow motion. It's going to be a long 2 years and an even longer 4 years after that.

I can't see De Santis losing at this point (if he runs). The Republicans need to cut this clown off. Do they even need to accept his nomination to run.

But these cards, I kind of wish 1987 and Mmmzcaps were still here to watch them defend this grift.

Vegita-San 12-17-2022 06:58 AM

you got trolled, folks :)

the REAL announcement

Plenty of women and gay people vote and he has few fans in either camp.

I agree he looks like he's being groomed (snerk) for the role but he's far from a slam dunk. Republicans are gonna have a hard time presenting any candidate who isn't a dumpster fire, considering how aligned the entire party is with Trump in peoples' minds, and how even in his absence it seems like the party is like, "Let's just triple-down on bigotry and homophobia and religious extremism!" since, y'know, as usual they don't have any actual platform or policies or anything. Their base loves that sh*t, but people who can read generally do not, so they're kinda screwed.

When "We REALLY Need to try and keep the racists and homophobes happy!" becomes paramount to your "success", it's time to consider that you MAY have collectively sh*t the bed and that it's time to try some new strategies.

I mean, it's pretty much only Bible-thumpers who vote Republican anymore, and more and more people become Atheists every single day, so they're gonna HAVE to try and shift gears at some point or else their entire base is just gonna die off. You can't try and make religious nuts your base when most of the people out there walking around know the stuff is all make-believe.

I can easily create Trump trading cards via one of those free Pokemon/MTG custom card makers online and give them away for free.

Yeah, it's clear that Trump isn't digging in on his belief for Blockchain here. Pure cash grab using his "Brand".

It's the fact that they are NFT's that netted results. If these were "Trump Cards" sold in packs or wax boxes they'd have languished.

I agree, however, the left continuing to get crazy and more emboldened, as well as turning violently against their own whenever one of them disagrees with the narrative, it does throw several people to vote in the other direction.

There's been quite a bit of videos popping up recently about 'why I left the left'. All of them are gonna vote red, and they're men and women of all races, genders and sexualities. I mean all a trans person has to do is question whether or not transwomen should be in sports and suddenly they're a Nazi and her own community wants her dead.

While one side, the right is full of racists and bigots, on the other side I feel the left is getting to the point of 'we can do and say whatever we want and get away with it because hey, at least we're not racists and bigots. We can wish for all unvaccinated to get lined up and gunned down, we can wish for all Republicans in our family to ****ing die, and we can have kids questions their gender and sexuality before they even learn to stop eating play-doh, but it's all good cause we're not racists and bigots."

Honestly, the left is bolder and the right is full of pussies. I rather have a Republican in the lead (just hear me out here) because if they get too crazy the left can and will push back. But if the left is in charge and gets too crazy, the right just complain online but pretty much bend over and take it. Literally none of this vaccine mandate crap from the last 2 years would have happened if Trump was president because half the country would refuse to obey and enforce them. There wouldn't have been any firings over it. If anything there would have been BLM-style riots over it, but they would just allow it, cause they're sticking it to Trump.


I do admit though, the Roe V Wade thing will forever be a huge scarlet letter against the Republicans and if they lose in 24 it will be 80% because of that and 20% of whatever Trump stupid thing does between now and then.

Have to admit I laughed at this…

the 'one side is full of racists and bigots' just got disporved here by how the left reacts to anyone who instantly disagrees with them. seems like the left side is the one with the problem :). Remember, The republicans ended slavery while the democrats supported it :).

and yes, I'm aware snopes says the image isn't entirely accurate...but pretty darn close.

lol But what fun is that, may as well make a few bucks by selling them on eBay with a small "not official Trump card" disclaimer at the bottom of the details that they won't bother reading.

And remember that the aims and ideals of the Republican party back then are roughly where the Democrats are today, and vice versa. Whichever stick you throw at it, the more left wing party at the time was more liberal than the other and against slavery. Republicans, liberal, oh that's gonna sting in a sentence :lol:

Makes me wonder if in a few decades the left will be the racists and bigots (even more than they already are, whether they admit it or not) and the right will be woke and insane.
