I don't know... maybe she should give him until the end of the summer.

Of course, they could also sell fireworks out of there for Independence Day...

Not in NYC

It's not legal where I live either, but stores open up selling them anyway. 🤷

Would a flea market full of cheap illegal Chinese counterfeits of high-end fashion items work?

Sell them to be used in trumps formerly owned buildings 😉

Actually, the supremacy clause of the constitution protects any state or federal law enforcement from taking place on property owned by the president (or former president). It's kinda like the reservation system- in fact I think Andrew Jackson "bought" all native land for $1, which enabled the formation of indian reservations.

I feel like this is something John Oliver could make happen

Hmm... that might actually convince me to sign up for Max.

You can watch him on YouTube, it's just shorter and a few days after the original airing, I think.

Unfortunately, not anymore. They didn't put his latest show on YouTube. I got it by sailing the high seas.

But I'll sign up for their stupid service if they do that in exchange.

HBO just made them release it on Thursday now

They are trying to get it back to Monday according to John on Twitter, but who knows

Ohhh, well THAT explains why they put some episode up the other week that i was sure was a rerun. Well, shit. Shiver me timbers, matey.

They should treat his property as respectfully as he treated the historic landmark and art that used to be there when he acquired the property. Demo it with his shit inside.

Unfortunately, that wouldn't be proportional enough. Nothing he has is of any value or has any artistic merit. It's gaudy and everything is covered in fake gold.

But it should happen anyway.

I wonder why he bought Mar-a-Lago from Marjorie Post? Couldn't be that she was a collector of imperial Russian art, could it? How much of that ended up going to Putin over the years?

He seems like the type of guy with Hitler paintings.

Yep.

If it's what you say I love it, especially later in the summer
