Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

There are a lot of reactions:

I won’t serve a king…
February 19, 2025 at 3:08 PM

My family fought in the Revolutionary War, and I won’t stand for this.

Not even with fava beans?

No gods… no kings.

He’s not a king. He’s not a Duke. He’s just a dick.

That would be bad enough, but one that’s also a colossal asshole?

He’s going to serve us up on a platter to Putin & Musk.

“I do not call myself subject to much at all.”

–Hawkeye, “Last of the Mohicans”

Nope. Never.

If you’re American, you don’t serve ANY man.

Your duty as a citizen is the the CONSTITUTION.

or a fascist
or a dictator
or a felon
or a rapist
…

Medium rare, bearnaise sauce, with a nice Chianti.

His supporters are stupid and he’s THEIR king. Nobody else’s.

I am a citizen
not a subject.

I don’t think I can even abide one.

And I refuse to eat cake.

…or a robber baron

I wouldn’t serve a king either. Not unless he came with a side of something healthy like Broccoli or salad.

Me either or a Jester, Idiot or Billionaire.

Or his assistant king.

Oh, America what have you done?

“This is how America ends, not with a bang but with a Traitor.”

“Let them eat fries”

Eggs are another matter.

Or a felon, rapist, crook, con man…

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

George Washington just did a somersault in his tomb

Such an ignorant person and a dangerous one at that, elected by people that had to be clueless running our country— we have become an embarrassment to the rest of the world.

It took him 30 days to declare himself King.

His idea of humor is yet another indication of his growing madness.

Your mistake is in thinking he’s joking.

Authoritarians are never “just joking”.

Only a dumb-ass would say this.

That explains it.

He isn’t kidding.

He is deliberately putting that out there, so that if 74 million MAGA supporters relentlessly repeat it on Social Media, he’ll say it’s the will of the people.

He’ll declare himself king.

Just watch. It will go viral on X.

What a fucking maniac!

It’s hideous because trump is not joking.

Canada is starting a war with the United States by not acquiescing to the idea of being the 51st state. Because, obviously, Ukraine started that war with Russia.

Logic.

Oh, I think we all know he’s not joking

He has no sense of humor so he’s serious.

Here’s a hint: Donald Trump has never been joking about anything.

WTAF

Petty? He’s batshit crazy.

and really, really stupid.

Pretty sure there’s NOTHING this man can do to make New Yorkers like him again

Yes. He is a clown with a flamethrower, but he still has a flamethrower.

He is way more dangerous than many people believe.
He has initiated the destruction of the U.S.
Everything he does is for a selfish reason.
Whatever is next on the menu will be worse than the last thing he does.

He got what he wanted already (staying out of jail). Everything being done now is not him, it’s the people behind him. He’s just signing papers.

A true looney-tune.

Trump does not make jokes. This is where he is mentally. In his mind, the fact that he’s gotten away with this much means he has carte blanche in his estimation. It’s going to get worse…

It never was a joke, he’s just trying to normalize the idea of him being a dictator so Americans are too apathetic to do anything about it.

He can fuck off

He is not joking. The man wants to be king

It’s going to get worse.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Conviction. Check.

Sam: It’s all wrong By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

Yeah, no, it was nice while it lasted.

Frodo failed. Sauron has the ring.

Just asking.

Bill prefiling for the 2025 legislative session of the Missouri General Assembly has started.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

It’s a cult.

FIRST REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE BILL NO. 318 [pdf]
103RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE DAVIS.
0723H.01I
DANA RADEMAN MILLER, Chief Clerk

AN ACT

To repeal section 115.306, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to qualifications for public office.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
[….]
(1) This subsection shall be known as the “Donald J. Trump Election Qualification Act”.
(2) A person who has been found guilty of or pled guilty to a felony under the federal laws of the United States of America or to a felony under the laws of this state or an offense committed in another state that would be considered a felony in this state shall not be disqualified as a candidate for elective public office in the state of Missouri if otherwise qualified.
[….]

Representative Michael Davis, a Republican, represents part of Cass County (District 56) in the Missouri House of Representatives. He was elected to his first two-year term in November 2020.

In addition to his legislative duties, Davis works in education. He previously worked for Americans for Prosperity as a Grassroots Engagement Director for the Kansas City area.

Davis holds a bachelor’s degree in education from Harris-Stowe State University and a Juris Doctor from Washburn University School of Law. During law school, Davis served as president of the Washburn Law chapter of the Federalist Society.

Davis currently resides in Belton.

“…’Donald J. Trump Election Qualification Act’…”

That’s some own goal.

“We have a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government…”
