Donald Trump railed against Sen. Tom Cotton in a series of posts on Saturday, accusing the Arkansas Republican of holding up a bill that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent and encouraging people to call the senator at his cellphone number.
Daylight savings time is a failed experiment. Permanent daylight savings has been tried and was quickly repealed. Sending children to school in the dark is stupid.
Looking forward to the Big Beautiful Obituary.
Imagine getting doxxed by the freaking president of the United States
I’d have an answer to “one fun fact about you” for the rest of my life
I love it when they turn on each other. Let’s encourage lots of that: “You gonna let him say that about you? I wouldn’t, but I’m not a pussy.”
Tom Cotton has a REALLY FUNNY tit for tat response if he wants one…
Fairly sure Trump could escalate with secret service and possibly even laws I am not even aware of if Tom does that.
This is the best thing that Trump has done while in office, sad that our bar is so low.
Senator Cotton grow a pair and post Trump’s number. DO IT
All these dudes are cowards. Trump had Epstein killed, he could have one of them killed too.
broken clock is right twice a year
My favorite variant of that is ‘A misprinted calendar is right once a year.’
I don’t think that works. Calendar misprints would make every day wrong, or every day after the misprint wrong. I think the only way it would work is if the misprint was that every day was random and one happened to be correct.
My parents-in-law used to work at a legitimate calendar factory. (That’s a true fact.) I’ll double check your reasoning with them.
Trump is an ass, and this is absolutely not how thing should be done. But here we are.
So if I have to go through this shitshow, I can at least laugh my ass off that he’s doing this to Cotton who’s been one of his supporters. That’s what he gets.
Wouldn’t it be better to stick with standard and not DST?
we got rid of it in the past and a surprising amount of people wanted it back immediately, ALLEGEDLY it curbs seasonal depression to a degree people can notice (apparently this may be a myth). but it also effects a hand full of industries it would cost some millions in terms of the economy, of course Trump gives zero shits about that he just cares if the chaos is either paid for in advance or something he can profit from, but there are reasons to keep daylight savings.
We tried permanent DST in the past, not permanent standard time.
We should move all time forward 6 hours and adopt Trump Saving Time, TST.
When it comes to Trump slapping his name on things, there is no bottom.
IIRC most Americans prefer daylight savings time to be year round over standard time.
Yeah but. Science
Interesting read but I get the feeling it’s once again only targeting morning people
The effect is large enough to be measurable on a societal scale, in favor of standard time
*saving
It was President Nixon who last tried to eliminate the spring-forward/fall-back. Now the regime is trying to rehab Nixon’s rep.
Is this a meaningful coincidence? A stupid coincidence? Both?
Nixon also tried to pass a guaranteed basic income. This is a coincidence.
I saw a bunch of clips today of MAGA repubs calling Watergate a hoax and blaming the deep state lol. JD Vance just said recently that if Watergate happened today, it would be a 12 hour story and disappear. I think that’s a silent admission of knowing how many crimes his administration is committing every day.
It wasn’t silent, watch the full speech or at least a slightly longer clip. His next sentence straight up says that they do worse all day every day.
Lol imagine messing with daylight savings while you’re losing a war… Well, anything to avoid talking about the Trump & Epstein Files.
Epstein Files featuring Donald John Trump
We should just refer to them and the trumpstein Pedo Files
DJT is ass, Cotton is ass, DST is ass (use Standard time), fuck everyone involved
I don’t care which one it is. Just pick one and save the poor clock arms from abnormal forced movement. This is machine abuse.
The Omnissiah approves of your message. Machine abuse has got to stop.
Their machine spirits scream in agony each time their aging hands are forced into new positions.
Don’t give a shit. Priority #1 is stopping this time changing madness first. Just lock a time in and we can revisit the DST vs Standard time shit later.
we can revisit the DST vs Standard time shit later.
I know! We can revisit it twice every year! ;-)
Exactly. It’s all arbitrary. So I get up at 8 or get up at 7. I don’t care. Just let it be consistent
I want whatever time keeps me from driving directly at the sun on my morning and evening commute.
Your problem is with Sol Invictus, don’t think anyone can help with that one.
Live east of your work…
Get a different job, use public transit.
Standard time year round is my idea of hell. I would rather keep the time change.
Standard time is better for your health though
Time is a human construct. It doesn’t matter what time it is.
Also, if that mattered then people wouldn’t say “but work starts at 8:00” when I suggest starting later in the winter…
Morning sun specially is better for you. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2025/09/daylight-saving-time.html
Which is why I would want to start later than 8:00…
Why do you want to move the number around when you can move the schedule if that’s important to you
You clearly didn’t read the part where I was told “but work starts at 8:00”.
I concur.
We concurrently concur.
I concur at a one-hour offset.
But only for half the year.
Honestly, I don’t fucking care. I could swear there was already a vote to do this years ago. If this guy is holding it up for God knows what reason, that’s fucking stupid. Not as stupid as getting on the lolita express and going to Jeff’s island and fucking kids, but it’s stupid nonetheless. Genuinely don’t care that the pedo did this so we wouldn’t talk about how he fucks kids.
There have been many votes on doing this. And it keeps getting stuck on “needing further study” or some shit.
So is this that moment when he rises to the occasion and finally becomes presidential?
Did Trump post his personal number (really effing stupid), or just his work number, which is fine?
IDK which it was but I texted the number and asked senator cotton to address the bill.
IDGAF anymore. Repubs don’t do shit so they need a little extra prodding.
Next step, thousands of people should show up at his house on a sunday afternoon during the football game to ask for progress on that bill.
Trump has done this before. I wouldn’t be surprised if Republican politicians buy a burner phone just to give the number to Trump, so that if Trump blabs it like this it doesn’t swamp the numbers they actually use to get shit done
Even if Trump finds out they can tell him it’s a private Bat-phone just for him.
