The Political Thread

The actual breaking news is that Trump was at the White House on a Saturday

It was a Correspondent Dinner or something.

Apparently they posted on the Truth Social that Trump wanted to continue, when the host said it would be rescheduled... why does it immediately feel so staged...

Trump if he was president when Zod tried to rule Earth:

"Yes, there is a general named Zod and he claims to have all of these 'powers.' I will offer him a deal. Maybe it will be a magnificent, just a beautiful piece of real estate, But rest assured, Obama would have kneeled before Zod and given our country away. Not me. I am the only person on Earth, the only one, capable of handing this. I am the only one who can make a deal with Zod. "

Trump after Zod nearly kills him:

"That fight was rigged. Without the radical left lunatics, Zod would have never won. There is no way he could have beaten me fairly. The fact is, I beat him fair and square but the fake news media would have you believe otherwise."

That's great news for those victims. I hope they do in fact get something out of it, that would be even better.
