President Donald Trump will make a “yuge, bigly infrastructure announcement” at 4 p.m. at the White House, according to his Information Tsar, Baghdad Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf Bob. Bobbie Baggins as he is know by some, says this will make Joe Biden's infrastructure bill that benefited all of America look puny by comparison.

disclosure: The world previously laughed hysterically at Trump 45's Infrastructure Weeks of old.

Why Is Parody Considered Fair Use but Satire Isn’t?


Both parody and satire employ humor in commentary and criticism, but the key difference, and the reason that under copyright law, parodic uses are more likely to be considered fair use than satire, is because of the difference in the purpose each serves. Satire is defined as “the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.” Compare that to the definition of a parody: “a literary or musical work in which the style of an author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule.”

The legal cases surrounding this issue are complicated. I won't get into that here, but if anyone cares -- they can use a search engine and enter into a black hole I was swept up into way back in the late 1990s, early 2000s. This was back when Condi Rice was the Provost at Stanford University (On December 16, 2000, Rice was named as National Security Advisor, upon which she stepped down from her position at Stanford.); This was back when Dante was involved with a community cable access organization.

Could this thread OP be considered a satire on usmb's attempt to have a Political Satire Board?

We report, you decide. Fair and Balanced. No Spin Zone.

D, if I asked you to comment on the 2025 winners of the Kentucky Derby, you would tell me that you can't give a rational assesment of their performance because they haven't run the 2025 Kentucky Derby yet.

Same thing with Trump. Wait until he runs the course before you decide whether or not he deserved to win...

Huh?

Nobody ever "deserves" to win.

and

to comment on the 2025 winners of the Kentucky Derby, they would already have to have won the race

He's slow on the uptake , methinks .

He either did not understand your post , or is just deliberately ignoring it because it reduces the thread to a big fat zero .
 
Remember they made him the worst president in history before he served his first term. That is not how it works, It takes years to see the effects of a president. We see the division Obama fomented now. It still stops productive conversations from ever happening.
 
That's the point. Judge the 47th president after he has run the race, not before...
I see people often get lost in the Political Satire forum, as it is flooded with nonsense by members like Votto.

But Joe Biden delivered big time on infrastructure, whereas, Trump in his first term was an utter and complete failure at it. He was mocked by most everybody worldwide for his "infrastructure week"

Having an informed opinion about this going forward...

5:30pm est ... let's find that “yuge, bigly infrastructure announcement

The Billionaire Class is thrilled! As if they could not fund this stuff themselves. They demand government handouts from the man they donated hundreds of millions to.

I'd go as far as to say the uber wealthy Titans of Tech are ecstatic. Campaign donations were a great investment.


Jan 21 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced private sector investment of up to $500 billion to fund artificial intelligence infrastructure.
OpenAI, SoftBank (9984.T)
, opens new tab plan a Texas-based joint venture called Stargate, and have committed $100 billion initially and then up to $500 billion to Stargate over the next four years.

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, OpenAI's Sam Altman and Oracle's Larry Ellison joined Trump at the White House for the launch.

He delivered big time on transferring wealth through outrageous policies.
 
Huh?

D'Oh!

wtf

you still posting crap?
Redistribution of wealth is a sure way to undermine Capitalism. What do you think that infrastructure bill did? I would say you were playing stupid but it could be you are not playing at all. Next time say something of substance or say nothing.

----------- Has 47's Infrastructure Week(s) Started ----------------- He has announced a Great Big Beautiful Project of $500 billion annually that is actually not there :auiqs.jpg:

Like Trump's Infrastructure Week(s) of his first term, (How ‘Infrastructure Week’ Became a Long-Running Joke'), Donald can not ever deliver like Sleepy Joe has.

WASHINGTON — At this point in the Trump presidency, “Infrastructure Week” is less a date on the calendar than it is a “Groundhog Day”-style fever dream doomed to be repeated.
Roughly two years after the White House first came up with the idea of discussing, for all of seven days, the pursuit of a bipartisan agreement to rebuild the nation’s roads, bridges and broadband networks, President Trump more or less torpedoed those plans on Wednesday in a Rose Garden speech. In the process, he gave Democrats a helpful sound bite when he said he would not pursue a legislative agenda while under investigation by House committees.
He also gave them another opportunity to charge that Mr. Trump, who has promised to deliver on an infrastructure plan since his first days in office, doesn’t really care about working together on one at all.
“I knew he was looking for a way out,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi told her fellow Democrats who had gathered in the Cabinet Room for the meeting with the president, according to two people familiar with the scene. “We were expecting this.”

Remember though, it was Sleepy Joe who actually delivered on Trump's supposed expertise: infrastructure

What did Joe deliver? Lets have a list of bridges that were repaired.

How many bridges were repaired under Biden?
thank you for reminding us all


The Big Deal​

Sec. Pete Buttigieg

As we celebrate the third anniversary of the signing of the historic $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, U.S. we're highlighting the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda that is investing in workers, neighborhoods, and better transportation like never before.

When President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) in November 2021, he committed to delivering once-in-a-generation investments to rebuild America's infrastructure and competitiveness. Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is breaking ground and cutting ribbons on projects across the country to rebuild our roads and bridges, expand passenger rail, improve and upgrade ports, modernize our airports, and build a clean energy economy for all Americans.

To date across the Biden-Harris Administration, nearly $570 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding has been announced for over 66,000 projects and awards in all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories.

— 196,000+ miles of roadway are being repaired or improved from coast to coast – enough to cross the U.S. 65 times. —11,400+ projects to build, repair, or modernize America’s bridges are moving forward.

— 630+ transportation projects have been announced across more than 195 Tribal Nations.

— 580+ port and waterway projects have been announced by either U.S. DOT or the Army Corps of Engineers to strengthen supply chain reliability, speed up the movement of goods, reduce the costs of everyday items, and lower carbon emissions.

—1,500+ airports are modernizing their terminals, expanding operations, or improving their runway infrastructure.

—1,600+ communities in all 50 states have been funded to improve roadway safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

— Nearly 320 rail projects nationwide have been announced, including those that will modernize and expand America’s rail network, deliver the first high-speed rail systems in the country, replace aging infrastructure on America’s busiest rail corridor in the Northeast, make freight rail safer, and eliminate or improve 400+ highway-rail crossings.

(to all of you low information MAGA posters here @ usmb):
That’s a Big Deal.
