Epstein, Trump, Blanche, Roy Cohn

Trump criminal attorney, former and present, Todd Blanche, stood at a podium when he was elevated to Acting Attorney General and addressed Trump directly, telling him that whatever Trump decides his service to Trump and his agenda will be, Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General or no government role at all, “I’d say ‘thank you very much, I love you, sir”.

Blanche is neither an honest person nor a remotely ethical one. He should be repeatedly asked one question during his upcoming confirmation hearings. This excellent yes or no question was raised by Andrew Weissmann, former Department of Justice official . “Yes or no question. Is Donald Trump’s name in the millions of pages of Epstein files you have not released?”

I can hear Blanche, glancing over at the clock he needs to run out, stone faced, doing what they all do. “Senator… sen-a-tor… I have already answered that question and yet you persist in re-asking it over and over… Senator, do not try to reclaim your time, I am an officer of the court, senator, and the Acting Attorney General of The United States of America and you will treat me with the respect I am entitled to under the law. I serve the Constitution, as well as my client, Mr. Trump, the greatest American to ever occupy the Oval Office. Don’t interrupt me, senator…”

Blanche has already demonstrated his unfitness for the job over and over again. He has defied the law Donald Trump signed regarding full release of the unredacted Epstein files, on orders from his boss and sole client, Donald J. Trump. Blanche has the temperament of an angry, self-righteous lackey. He has disgraced the DOJ in ways even Bill Barr would not stoop to, though Barr was a lying abomination in the role of America’s top law enforcement officer.

Blanche’s open defiance of federal law, his brazen stonewalling of the Epstein Files Transparency Act alone, should disqualify him. So should the shameless services he rendered to Trump in the fake case Trump v. IRS that Trump brought against himself to get billions of taxpayer dollars, to fund an army of armed insurgents to disrupt the midterm elections. In a side deal, the next day, Trump/Blanche granted Trump and his accursed kin all immunity from IRS audits.

Regarding Epstein, how many times will the survivors of Epstein’s abuse have to make themselves heard before the law is enforced and the guilty men of power are held accountable, even if only be named publicly? Ghislaine Maxwell, the only person convicted connections to Epstein’s years of sexual abuse of junior high school girls, after speaking with Mr. Blanche, got a nice change of prison, from a high security one for sex offenders, to a much more pleasant one where she can practice yoga, have catered meals and her own puppy. Blanche has now changed DOJ rules to give himself the unappealable right to move federal prisoners anywhere he wants, with or without cause, reason or explanation. That’s how democracy works, if you’re a fascist working directly for the corrupt leader.

Check out the courage and dignity of these women. Compare it to the absence of courage and dignity in Todd Blanche and his MAGA confederates

And they made this video months earlier, when Epstein’s longtime Girl Friday, Lesley Groff [1], appeared to lie repeatedly to James Comer’s House Committee that hosted her for an informal conversation that was not videotaped or given under oath.

[1] The controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement Epstein entered into with the Justice Department named Groff as a potential co-conspirator that the U.S. “will not institute any criminal charges against.”

Following Epstein’s 2019 death by suicide [there is no doubt he was suicided, by whom is the question — ed], the Justice Department continued investigating people connected to him, including Groff. A 2019 Justice Department list of Epstein family and associates named Groff as a “co-conspirator.” The list also included Maxwell.

A memo describing the department’s investigation after Epstein’s suicide details Groff’s interactions with Epstein’s survivors, including scheduling appointments, arranging travel and completing payments.

Very stable genius, July 12th edition

The left just won’t stop reporting things that embarrass the most stable, brilliant president in American history (just ask him). The other day the rabidly communist New York Times reported that Qatari Air Force One apparently did not get state of the art security features installed during the recent upgrade, which is why the president flew back from Turkey in another Air Force One. This NY Times story infuriated the president, who had told another story entirely about why he switched planes coming back from the NATO summit.

So beleaguered, obedient FBI director Kashyap Pramod Patel was summoned to the White House to get busy issuing subpoenas to the four NY Times reporters who wrote the story to testify under oath in a grand jury (top secret!) exactly a week after their “leaked national security threat” story on Qatari Air Force One came out. No time to waste, no time to lawyer up to protect traitors who leak!!!

Many will call this hounding of journalists who publish facts that embarrass the Leader, armed agents of the unmistakably weaponized FBI serving them summonses at their homes, a fascist tactic. It does violate the First Amendment, among other things, but, recall, our president is very special — and extremely sensitive. And NATIONAL SECURITY!!! And look at how disrespectfully the eggheads treat him! Here’s know-it-all historian Heather Cox Richardson directly quoting the president to make him look… I don’t even know how to describe it:

By 11:18 PM on Friday, Trump’s fury had turned back to Iran. He posted on social media that if Iran tried to assassinate him, “Locked and Loaded” missiles would begin to rain down on the country “to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran—PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!”

Today he turned his anger toward those questioning his mental acuity, particularly New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman, who commented on MS NOW about his reference in Türkiye to the “Islamic State of Japan.” At 12:23 PM he lashed out at “Maggot Hagerman” and then, to refute her claims, wrote that he “just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I do it every six months, and I requested another Cognitive Test, the only President to do so, three times, and I aced them all—Got every question right. Few people in Washington, D.C., could do so, including Maggot and her flunky associate, Jonathan Swan. I would be willing to bet they couldn’t get 50% of the questions right.”

The White House said Trump was referring to a physical he underwent in May.

Then, at 3:16, the president’s account posted a screed of almost 450 words complaining angrily that “I win the Election IN A LANDSLIDE against the entire Dumocrat Party,…against almost 100% negative press and Fake News,…especially Maggot Hagerman, one of the most unattractive people in the News “Business,” and her lightweight assistant, Jonathan Swan…. All I do is WIN, often against all odds,” yet no one compliments him on his great successes . . .

. . . [In response to Walmart clarifying that Trump had nothing to do with their 15% drop in meat prices for the summer] White House spokesperson Kush Desai clarified on social media that the president’s “announcement was that the sale is extending all summer long,” adding, “The media’s obsessive need to try to undermine any good news when it affects President Trump is pathological.”

A rant about the news media took up most of Trump’s long post, as he insisted that those reporting his bad poll numbers and policy failures “have no credibility…. If the Election was held again today, I would win by even more—Actually, much more!” he posted. “The Dumocrats don’t have what it takes, their Policies are wrong, and they are, generally, stupid people. They are going COMMUNIST because they are a desperately ‘sinking ship,’ and there’s not a thing they can do about it.

“Instead of writing inaccurate, false articles, for over 10 years now, shouldn’t it be time that they say, ‘We give up, we can’t beat him, there seems nothing we can do.’ Isn’t it time they say, ‘TRUMP IS THE BEST POLITICAL ATHLETE OF ALL TIME! CONGRATULATIONS, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU HAVE BEATEN US FOR 10 YEARS, AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO WASTE OUR TIME FIGHTING YOU ANY LONGER. WE CAN’T WIN. DO A GREAT JOB, SIR, RUNNING OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’” source

Take his statements one by one and you’ll see how unfair Heather is.

If a foreign country targets and kills your leader, it is the supreme Act of War, greater than killing a million civilians, or 175 young people at a girls’ school a hundred times over. If Iran killed our president, we’d be morally entitled to retaliate with epic nuclear fury, ask Mr. Hegseth, Stephen Miller, JD Vance — ask Trump. It’s not like the United States would ever commit a war crime so serious as the targeted assassination of another nation’s leader. Oh, wait…

It’s true Trump did make a little Freudian slip at the recent NATO meeting, calling out the Islamic State of Japan when he meant to say, obviously, the Evil Islamic State of Iran. But everyone knows Trump likes to have fun when he talks, DUH! He was just trolling the Japanese, who, you have to admit, kind of deserve it, considering what they recently did to us at Pearl Harbor, and how disrespectful their leader was to Trump in the Oval Office on her recent visit… and President Putin, perfectly disguised as Ukrainian lawyer and comedian Volodymyr Zelensky, had no problem being mischievously called Zelensky by Trump’s playful “slip” of the tongue. Trump is just keeping everyone on their toes with his patented Weave. Maggots like Maggie “HAG-erman” Haberman keep trying to viciously dehumanize Trump for his all too human behavior.

Ah, I can’t go through every one of the distortions by the left above, but you get the drift. It’s those goddamned, godless COMMIEs again, millions of ’em! They hate our freedom and our way of life. They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the naked children from the so-called Epstein files!

When Jeanine Pirro arrests and indicts Jonathan Karl for felony hand dipping, you’ll know it’s time to make for the weaponized border

This ABC reporter did exactly what the former American Olympian David Hearn did when he reached into the newly weaponized Lincoln/Washington Memorial reflecting pool. There’s no law against it, obviously. Yet, just days after Jonathan Karl committed this act openly, on camera, broadcast to millions, Hearn was arrested and indicted, essentially accused of vandalism amounting to symbolic anti-state terrorism by a powerful lackey of the Terrorist-in-Chief and the blustering orange bully himself.

There is no case against David Hearn, though he’s being threatened hard by the full force of Trump’s federal government which can bring tremendous pressure to bear on individuals it targets with criminal prosecution. The pool, after its inept $14,000,000 no-bid renovation, has since been drained again. There is no 300 foot gash at the bottom of the empty pool as the Liar-in-Chief has been insisting antifa violently slashed into his perfect pool job (they’re also responsible for the algae, clearly). There are only the tire tracks from that insane idiot’s motorcade which drove over the resurfaced pool bottom shortly before the pool was refilled with water.

Hey, yo, Truth, Justice and the American Way can go fuck themselves, antifa cucks that they are.

Meanwhile, as I tap these words, senators are asking questions of a Nazi nominee for Attorney General (“there is no law against being a Nazi, if the president tells me to be a Nazi, that’s the president’s right and I will tell him ‘I love you, sir, sieg heil!’“) who evades each question with the deadpan nonchalance of a soul dead psychopath.

That nominee is treating a judge’s recent ruling on the fake Slush Fund case, Trump v. IRS — Trump/Blanche was both plaintiff and defendant and the fake “settlements” are void for a variety of reasons — as merely her opinion, until all appeals are exhausted and the Federalist Six get to rule on it, presumably… ah, I can barely edit these sentences.

Of all lifetime federal district court judges, only the pronouncements of MAGA’s own Judge Aileen Cannon must be treated as binding federal law by these Nazi fucks. All others, including Jack Smith, abide by her insane, counter-factual, cover-up, glaring appearance of impropriety rulings because, as a federal judge she is legally entitled to make them, even if she is pulling her “reasoning” directly out of Black Klansman Clarence Thomas’s crusty ass.

USA! USA!!!

“Thank you, sir, I love you, sir!”

Why this hostility to incoherence?

Incoherent, incoshmearent…

Like many other observers, Nichols [writing in the Atlantic] noted that Trump was “incoherent” in Ankara. He referred to Iran as the “Islamic Republic of Japan” and referred to Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin.” In an off-with-their-heads! moment, he also announced he had ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off all trade with Spain. source

I mean, will the commie press and radical left pundits never tire of torturing this staunch warrior against communism, wokism, racism against White Christian Soldiers, unfair anti-Klan hatred, Truth, Justice and the American way?  I mean, just look at how the NY Times is viciously attacking Mr. Trump (no wonder he’s suing them for $10,000,000,000). This first incendiary headline is from today:

OK, that’s fair enough. Iran (quite likely) started the war and now they risk reigniting it. No argument there, at least not in this headline. But most of the time The Gray Lady and their ilk are just mercilessly bashing Trump over and over. No president in history, according to Trump, has ever been subjected to this kind of coordinated attack by virtually everybody who is not directly profiting from his amazing presidency.

Like there’s something wrong — or abnormal — with a president marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by holding a campaign rally for himself!

Friggin’ COMMIES!

If you invested $10,000 in Trump’s meme coin

You got fucked, brother. That investment is now worth about $360. Congratulations.

Naturally the auto-generated AI response is inaccurate, AI is still actively teaching itself to be accurate. The actual figure is $364. One million investors in Trump’s crypto lost $3,800,000,0000. So? Suck it, cucks.

Heather Cox Richardson, after reviewing the bad fallout from Trump’s impetuous mass bombing of Iran,, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which will continue to spike inflation well into the future, [not to mention his idiot “diplomatic” team’s ongoing incoherent blundering], and before going into the details of Trump’s spiral down an even more demented version of McCarthyism, went on to his business dealings.

And then there were the stories about corruption. On Tuesday, new financial disclosures showed that Trump has made an eye-popping $1.4 billion in his family’s cryptocurrency ventures since he took office. On Thursday, Trump appeared to feel the need to defend those profits, telling CNBC: “There’s nothing illegal. There’s nothing wrong with it I could know.” Julia Manchester of The Hill noted that Trump went on to say that the nature of the presidency means that his children “have inside information” about almost any business decision they make. He said: “Almost anything they do, if they want to buy a truck, if they buy an energy efficient truck, they have inside information.”

There are specific legal prohibitions against using insider information for benefit in stock trades and financial transactions.

And Trump appears to have fleeced his own followers. On Saturday, Eric Lipton and David Yaffe-Bellany of the New York Times reported that as of the end of June, nearly a million people who bought Trump’s memecoin lost a total of $3.81 billion while Trump walked away with $636 million. Trump took transaction fees up front, so he made money no matter what happened with the coin. For his followers, though, his advice that “It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING!” and to “Join my very special Trump community. GET YOUR $TRUMP NOW!” cost them dearly as the coin slid from trading at $75.35 to trading at $1.76, a drop of 97%. . .

. . . But Trump officials routed that money [supposed to be donated to the nonpartisan America250 program to his own Freedom 250 organization] to favored contractors, including the firm that helped to organize Trump’s rally at the Ellipse on January 6, 2021, before attendees stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Representative Jared Huffman (D-CA), the highest-ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Natural Resources, told reporters: “I’m a lawyer, and I know better than to pronounce that a crime has been committed. But I do know the elements of fraud, and there is evidence of all those elements here.” source

“There’s nothing illegal. There’s nothing wrong with it I could know.”

In the man’s defense, he is under a lot of pressure and has a ton of serious medical issues he has to keep hidden. You can’t expect him to always make sense, or speak in sentences that can be parsed according to the normal rules of human language. He’s pleading ignorance of the facts and the law, which it is not a crime of which he could know.

Self-evident truths denied at 250th birthday bash

National Rent-A- Fence plus DANGER!! Explosives!

The wall Mexico paid for (along with the Restricted Area, Do Not Enter sign), erected around the White House during the end of Trump’s first tumultuous term, before Mr. Trump fixated on his plan to build an impenetrable, state of the art, top secret Führerbunker under what used to be the East Wing of the White House.

Meanwhile, the price for consideration for a presidential pardon, for serious crimes (no pardon attorney necessary, cash only) starts at $6,000,000, I’m hearing. Which is TOTALLY normal. Ask Clarence Thomas, Ginni Thomas, Samuel Alito, his wife, John Roberts’ wife, John Roberts, etc.

Pond scum

Algae, aka “pond scum”

Nicholas Kristoff, who’s been called a liar by the richest man in the world for pointing out numerous individuals dead, tragically, easily preventably, since Musk’s illegal “agency” DOGE shuttered USAID:

A Boston University researcher estimated that the aid cuts have cost more than 750,000 lives worldwide. A study published in the Lancet, the British medical journal, forecast that at present rates, the aid defunding will cost 9.4 million lives by 2030.

These figures may not be accurate; we just don’t have solid mortality data, and the aid cuts have also reduced data collection. What I can say after visiting numerous impoverished villages is that aid cuts are unquestionably costing the lives of many children. . .

. . . It’s reasonable to ask how much we should spend or how we should reform the system. But why would anyone begrudge $2 bed nets or $4 malaria vaccines to save children’s lives?

So let me offer a challenge to Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip to South Sudan or Somalia or Mozambique. Meet starving children whose lives can be easily saved. Hold them. Look into their eyes. Talk to their terrified moms.

You’ll understand that these kids are just like ours, except that they didn’t do as well in the lottery of birth — and that just because we can’t save every child’s life doesn’t mean we should save none of them. source

All hail the Nazi fuck.

Yee hah!

Representing the government, Solicitor General John Sauer told the court that the president must be able to remove officials in the agencies because “the President must have the power to control and…the one who has the power to remove is the one who…is the person that they have to fear and obey.” source

Sauer, if memory serves, is the RFK Jr.-voiced Trump myrmidon who argued, in the aptly named, dystopian Trump v. United States, that, sure, the president could legally send Seal Team Six to execute political opponents (or witnesses, or anyone else, really). Only if he thought it was in the best interests of his agenda, of course. They won that case, like yesterdays Slaughter case (sometimes the name really tells the story) that gives Fuckface the right to fire the head of any government agency with cause or without cause. In Republican states that’s called “right to work”. You serve at the pleasure of the boss, end of story. It worked during slavery as it works today. USA! USA!!!
