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!!!

Everybody knows who these people are

Dictators will be dictators, and the spoiled, sadistic children of wealthy psychopaths make the worst kind. People who align themselves with dictators to advance their own ambitions must always conform to the dictator’s wishes.   To displease the leader, in even a small way, easily results in getting fired from the position you were grotesquely unqualified for, except for your performative loyalty to the ego of your insecure master.  There is one requirement for the job: blind obedience to the leader’s ever changing whims and no hesitation to tell any lie the leader needs told.  

Dictators create one emergency after another, and solve them boldly, even if often idiotically.  Failure is not a problem, just blame communist saboteurs.

Observers are noting that the reflecting pool fiasco, in which Trump created the idea there was an emergency, ignored experts, bypassed normal procedures to give a wildly inflated contract to a crony, bragged about his success, ignored the problems, claimed his enemies had sabotaged him, and finally stationed troops around the landmark he had turned into a swamp, represents the Trump administration perfectly. . . [she then describes Trump’s looting of the budget for the National Parks for his own personal design projects and his firing of thousands of park staff] . . .

. . . The profligate use of our tax dollars for whatever Trump and his cronies want while the American people suffer is at least as representative of Trump’s reign as is the peeling, algae-filled, militarily guarded Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

This president and administration are turning the extraordinary resources of the American people—the things we the people have created over decades with our effort and our tax dollars—to their own ends. We are paying for their theft with a significantly diminished country, and even with our lives. . .

It is beyond question that unserious, unqualified, often hate-filled transactional loyalists are lined up behind the most immature and reckless — and, let’s be honest — unqualified and crazy, president in US history.   Bragging about ending his fifteenth, or perhaps fiftieth, war, he touted his Memorandum of Understanding with the mullahs, which he had signed for his 8oth birthday, to prove he is indeed the peace president.  Now he’s back to bombing Iran.  

Tonight, Trump made apocalyptic threats against Iran, posting that “United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN! It is very possible that they will never learn! There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!”

Well, at least there’s less talk in the media today about his wonderful secrets with suicided Jeffrey Epstein. They’ve got bigger fish to fry, as the fey Nazi Maga Mike pointed out to a roomful of the faithful the other day:

Yesterday House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), a Trump loyalist, warned a crowd at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, D.C.: “If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats—y’all, impeachment’s not even the big concern. They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they’ll go after the president’s family, the Cabinet, his donors, and friends—half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you. Ok, we’re gonna win. We’re gonna win the midterms.” source (for all above quotes)

And here are some remarks, fitting for a shameless Nazi (the best kind) who also hails from a stronghold of the American Ku Klux Klan, that demonstrate this principle of supporting the leader no matter what. What is a lie among fellow fascists?

Compare Coach Tooberville’s “analysis” to the following, from one of my favorite geniuses:

So it goes.

“You knew I was a snake, America, when you took me in.   Now, time to meditate.“

Come on in, the water’s fine

No cover-up!

“I don’t have to cover anything up, I am the boss. Sick, deranged, smelly, corrupt communist activist judges don’t get to tell me what to do.”

“I didn’t shit my pants, you shitted in my pants!!! What kind of sick people do such things? I will kill all of you disgusting traitor fucks, watch!”

Nazis will be Nazis

I’ve noticed that sometimes things that appear unthinkable are actually predictable, even inevitable. Things you happily assumed were true, like lifelong membership in a beloved community, turn out to be illusions, once you see the alluring thing curdle and crumble exactly the same way over and over. Only in hindsight, once the damage becomes undeniable, can you see how destructive the unquestionable thing you thought was perfect actually was. The unthinkable is revealed to have been clearly preordained.

If you are in a cult, membership in good standing is the only consideration for those who revere the leader. The leader can rape members, it is God’s will, and besides, the rape victims are fucking liars. The leader can lie in the face of overwhelming evidence, he lies for a greater truth and it’s also a lie that he lied, vicious, traitorous liars said that about the always truthful leader. The leader can kill his cult members, if they are true believers they willingly pawn their lives for their leader’s divine vision. Such is the power of true belief in a worldview.

The Nazis recruited masses from those neglected Germans who had never had any political voice in German political life (Germany had only recently become a democracy). The Nazi movement made these invisible Germans feel like virile, heroic, indispensable players in world history. If they joined the party and sucked up to their leaders without question they could be promoted to unimaginable heights. An insignificant, uncharismatic, unqualified, not born wealthy or politically connected person who had no hope of ever having any power (think Stephen Miller, Jeffrey Clark, Mike Johnson, JD Vance, Gym Jordan, Kashyap Patel) could become the highly respected, rightfully feared Nazi in charge of sending millions to their deaths. Talk about a rush for someone whose highest goal in life is a feeling of superiority and power over others.

Then you have the born millionaires whose inherited wealth soon reaches the billions — the list is long: Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, Steve Mnuchin, Elon Musk (trillionaire), James Fucking Dolan (NY Knicks owner) … you get the idea. They grow up believing they are geniuses, since they had the wisdom to choose wealthy fathers they never alienated by opposing. Since they consider themselves infallible visionary geniuses in all areas (and not psychopathic hoarders of obscene, never sufficient wealth at everyone else’s expense) they believe they have the absolute right to control others. Their will is unchallengeable law in the businesses they control.

A brilliant motion picture spectacle was made about the power of a great individual’s will (though the hero of the story was born lower middle class) Triumph of the Will. The impressively choreographed pageant of German discipline, mass conformity, and ecstasy, at Mr. Hitler’s 1934 Nuremberg rally, flashed gorgeously across screens all over Germany. Wide eyes gleamed with the reflected light of the glittering, stirring spectacle as it magically bounced off those movie screens. All you need, boys and girls, is a convincing, lushly presented, relentlessly one-sided story to sell your worldview to masses of people (no matter how objectively incoherent or mad your story is) — if you have the money and influence to make sure millions watch it. The most necessary talent for a dictator is an instinct for public relations, and the very best advertising people to make the most powerful ads in support of that instinct.

I’ve been regularly exercising my First Amendment right to express my opinions on this blahg read by very few people (I’m not on any other “social media”). Lately bots seem to have been checking in to monitor these obscure posts, which are harshly critical of both the Nazis of old and their American counterparts in our own day. Some days I suddenly have hundreds of visitors. I’m sure I’m on one of Palantir’s lists of people to be rounded up and given special treatment (sonderbehandlung), if the blessed day arrives for these natural aristocrats to decide who is worthy of living and who must be eliminated (Lebensunwertes Leben [1]). They are lunging headlong toward that glorious day, exactly like the Nazis did — by brute force, fueled by the power of hatred, and an intense 24/7 propaganda blitzkreig. Heather today gave a nice snapshot of the Nazi theory of power in a democracy:

Much of [Nazi political theorist Carl] Schmitt’s philosophy centered around the idea that in a nation that is based in a constitution and the rule of law, power belongs to the man who can exploit emergencies that create exceptions to the constitutional order, enabling him to exercise power without regard to the law. Trump—who himself almost certainly has not read Schmitt—asserted this view in August of last year when he said: “I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States. If I think our country’s in danger—and it is in danger in the cities—I can do it.”

Alex Kaplan of Media Matters notes that since Trump took office in 2025, his loyalists have urged him simply to declare a national emergency in order to justify dictating new voting and election rules to the states.

The U.S. Constitution gives to the states the authority to conduct elections, but the Trump administration wants state voter lists, at least in part so it can run them through a tool designed to find noncitizens who might have applied for benefits for which they’re ineligible. That system, known as Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements and, confusingly, also abbreviated as SAVE, is not designed for voter rolls, and as Liz Dye explained today in Public Notice, it explicitly did not cover U.S. citizens.

But, Dye explains, between last April and last August, employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the Department of Homeland Security, and the Social Security Administration linked the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements to the master file from Social Security, called NUMIDENT. Then they reprogrammed SAVE to upload voter rolls for mass citizenship screening. source

The truth, reflected in the extremist Heritage Foundation’s own voter fraud database, is that the fraud rate in US elections is miniscule, in the single digits across millions of votes. The Heritage Foundation’s database shows a total of hundreds of cases of fraud, going back decades, covering years of elections where over a billion votes were cast. The incidence of fraud is something like 0.0001%. Bill Barr himself said under oath that he told Trump his claims of massive voter fraud changing the election outcome in 2020 were “bullshit.” The Heritage Foundation‘s own Hans von Spakovsky speaks for all these voter fraud Nazi motherfuckers. “Illegal aliens” and other non-citizens are not voting. They are not trying to vote. Create a fake emergency and then take bold steps to fix it.

Hitler’s party never found it necessary to change a word of the democratic Weimar Republic’s constitution. They merely invoked Emergency Powers after rushing through an Enabling Act immediately after their parliament building was burned down. The rest, as they say, is history.

All I can say at the moment is “fuck these Nazi putos”.  They are marching behind a deranged and demented figurehead of extremely limited ability, reckless, incapable of strategic thinking or compromise while projecting overweening confidence, who has repeatedly, continuously lied to and already alienated masses of his own followers.  Those true believers in the MAGA cult will follow him to hell.  Nobody else is going down there with him. 

See you down here, Donny boy

[1] from Wikipedia: The phrase “life unworthy of life” (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) was a Nazi designation for the segments of the populace which, according to the Nazi regime, had no right to live. Those individuals were targeted to be murdered by the state via involuntary euthanasia, usually through the compulsion or deception of their caretakers. The term included people with disabilities and later those considered grossly inferior according to the racial policy of Nazi Germany. This concept formed an important component of the ideology of Nazism and eventually helped lead to the Holocaust.[1] It is similar to but more restrictive than the concept of Untermensch, subhumans, as not all “subhumans” were considered unworthy of life (Slavs, for instance, were deemed useful for slave labor).

Random Headlines

Translation: I hate you. I’m going to sue you and destroy you, while making your life a living hell. I have a gigantic and powerful legal team, an entire agency, The Department of Justice, all personally loyal to my agenda. These legal pit bulls will make you sorry for the day you were born.

Great men are entitled to have outbursts when confronted with demands from their inferiors.

We innovate by never listening to the pretentious so-called experts on any opinion about science or medicine. We will continue to lead by never backing down, no matter how autistic we may become from the continued use of Tylenol.

Photographic proof!

As you can plainly see, God spared his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, while causing only a small wound on his ear, like a stigmata of the ear, because God so dearly loved him that He deflected a deadly bullet and gave an innocent member of the audience, seated behind the president, a quick pass to heaven, so that His imperfect vessel could be miraculously spared and go on to be reelected as the most righteous president, the most righteous leader of any country, in human history. Amen.

Meanwhile, vicious critics continue to attack him, without mercy, seemingly every second.  Thankfully, he can defend himself, including against those who brutally gouged a 250 foot long gash at the bottom of the beautiful reflecting pool in DC to destroy his donor’s perfect work restoring the historic pool to its pristine 1922 beauty:

Friday night, Trump blamed “Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats [sic], who have spent their lives trying to ruin our Country,” for “some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool.” By this evening, he was blaming “multiple individuals for vandalizing our Nations magnificent Reflecting Poll [sic]. Who would do such a thing? These are very serious crimes having to do with the destruction of National Monuments. Years in jail! Work will begin immediately on its repair.” Source

Who is David Gentile? What a surprise:

David Gentile (* 1966) ist ein US-amerikanischer Unternehmer und Gründer sowie ehemaliger CEO von GPB Capital Holdings, einer Private-Equity-Gesellschaft mit Sitz in New York, die 2013 gegründet wurde.

The NY Times reports:

The investigation, which has not been previously reported, had begun examining whether improper payments were made to help facilitate the commutation awarded to David Gentile, a private equity executive who was convicted in a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of mostly mom-and-pop investors, some of whom lost their retirement savings.

The clemency grant freed Mr. Gentile last November less than two weeks into a seven-year prison sentence, and wiped away the possibility of forfeiting more than $15.5 million to the government.

Within a few months, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, where Mr. Gentile’s conviction had been secured, opened an investigation into how the commutation came about.

Among the evidence they gathered was information about jailhouse communications in which Mr. Gentile discussed making payments of $2.5 million or more to people or companies to help facilitate his clemency, according to two people with knowledge of the investigation who were not authorized to discuss it.

One of the people who came under scrutiny by investigators was the Rev. Frank Mann, a retired Catholic priest from Queens who is friends with Mr. Trump. In an email sent to The New York Times, Father Mann denied having anything to do with the clemency. But people with knowledge of the prison communications say that the priest corresponded with Mr. Gentile about lobbying the president on his behalf. . .

. . . Mr. Trump’s unorthodox approach to clemency has spawned a seamy cottage industry in which lawyers, lobbyists and others with ties to the president have collected millions of dollars from pardon seekers who would not necessarily qualify for second chances under the Justice Department’s criteria for identifying and vetting worthy recipients.

One lobbyist was charged in March by Mr. Nocella’s office for attempting to violently extort $500,000 from a client who received a pardon from Mr. Trump last year. source

Nazi justice

Psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton, in The Nazi Doctors, pointed out that doctors were the first professional group in Germany to fully Nazify. German doctors did this voluntarily, assertively, as soon as Hitler was in power. No Jews, all doctors with “Jewish blood” out, every German doctor had to a loyal member of the Nazi party to practice medicine in Germany.

Not surprising to me that doctors were the first, especially in light of some of the arrogant, contemptuous, corporate medical experts I’ve seen in the last few years, including one actual psychopath. See also the complicity of the American Psychiatric Association in suppressing the findings of dozens of psychiatrists, including Lifton, in regard to the dangerous instability of Donald J. Trump during his first term. It’s not my point here to bash doctors, although many highly admired doctors are self-involved schmucks and the opposite of healers.

I would guess, without any evidence at the moment (just like the Trump legal eagles in their false charging affidavits), that German lawyers were the second German profession to fully Nazify themselves. Public distaste for lawyers needs no elaboration, but there is a special breed that embraces fascists in a democracy.

The legal and medical professions are full of ambitious, competitive, self-aggrandizing people (as well as many people of fine character and the best motives). Put a Nazi regime in charge of their careers and many (the worst of them), once the Nazi has solidified power and control, will become more fervent Nazis than the Leader himself. This is observable throughout history.

It is plainly observable with Trump’s craven, lying criminal defense team at the Department of Justice. Their bottom shelf lawyers (many of the best at DOJ have quit or been fired for things like taking their ethical duties seriously, or doing their jobs on a nonpartisan basis) torment and prosecute the enemies of their enraged, paranoid master. They do this at the whim of a man who is awake ranting on social media nonstop throughout the night, and sleeps through meetings and even the staged $60,000,000 gladiatorial event the 80 year-old birthday boy threw for himself on the south law of the White House. That Mr. Trump is insane is also easily observable (sorry, American Psychiatric Association).

The coverup of crimes, which indicates a consciousness of guilt that is admissible against defendants in criminal prosecutions, is often worse than the crimes being hidden. In Trump’s case, both are heinous. He also has an unbroken lifelong pattern and practice of committing crimes and covering them up. Hence the “settlement” of his fraudulent case against his own IRS, an attempt to make sure any of his likely frauds against the IRS (and the American taxpayers) remain unpunished, in perpetuity.

A group of the president’s sycophants met in panicked secret meetings to strategize how to protect the Orange Polyp (and, more importantly, their own careers) from what is revealed about his behavior in the 6,000,000 documents of the Epstein files. Against the advice of anyone who knew anything about the strategic use of military force, Trump attacked Iran, based on lies and in support of a fellow autocrat, Bibi Netanyahu, a plague on the world in his own right. The mass murder Trump unleashed was a crime against humanity. The “memorandum of understanding” his expert real estate baron negotiators hammered out with Iran appears to be unconditional surrender to Iran. For starters, it gives Iran exponentially more billions, and more future power, than the JCPOA, Obama’s hated deal did. So, why not keep it secret? It is a great triumph, that Trump so quickly forced Iran to its knees!

The worst part of all this, to me, is the violent, hate-inspiring lies. Nazism, like all fascist movements, is founded on lies and depends on people believing those lies. White Supremacy? Trump rips up a deal painstakingly negotiated by skilled diplomats and scientists because it was signed under a Black president. One of Obama’s parents was “white”, of course, which I mention because only in a racist society does this need to be said (he said, triggering racists who believe only whites can be persecuted).

Trump ripping up Obama’s JCPOA is white supremacy in a nutshell. Rip up the Black guy’s carefully considered plan, hammered out by experts over the course of several years (and cosigned by Russia, China, the EU and other nations), because the president at the time was a fucking “n-word,” as the KKK will always insist. Send two completely unqualified real-estate billionaires to quickly cover up your failed mass bombing of Iran after shredding the deal, claim victory and unconditional surrender — while not revealing the terms of the memorandum of understanding. An enraged white supremacist, without any need for thought beforehand, reflexively joins his fellow white supremacist in illegally mass murdering the innocent brown people whose repressive government signed the deal with the Black guy. Maybe the worst part, beyond even the lying, is the vicious, heedless, proud stupidity of these race-obsessed fascists.

Trump’s government lawyers (leaving aside their oath to support the Constitution and protect the rights of citizens, not “the boss”), like all lawyers, are considered officers of the court. As officers of the court hey are bound by oath to tell the truth, to not resort to scumbag tactics, not to bring frivolous charges without evidence against people the boss instructs them to investigate and prosecute, not to lie to grand juries, or redact their lies when a judge forces them to turn over grand jury transcripts (unheard of with any previous administration). The Department of Justice was always given the “presumption of regularity” from federal judges. Judges took the DOJ at its word in all previous administrations. In the administration of the Lyin’ King — there is no longer the presumption that the poisonous toads King Turd sends to court to torture his enemies are telling the truth. Latest case in point:

Today U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota Daniel Rosen announced his office was charging fifteen people with conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers over their behavior during the federal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis last year that led to the deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Rosen alleges that the defendants are part of two “antifa” groups that “violently oppose immigration law enforcement.”

At the press conference about the charges, prosecutors introduced a Facebook post from one of the accused that said: “We need to become ungovernable.” Journalist Aaron Rupar noted: “Oh, so they have NOTHING nothing.” It’s actually even more embarrassing than that: Trump attended the Libertarian National Convention in 2024 when its theme was “Become Ungovernable,” and stood in front of the banner bearing that slogan, so the idea that the phrase is part of a criminal conspiracy will be awkward to argue.

From Minneapolis, Matt Sepic of MPR News reported that Rosen said the people were “charged not for what they said but what they did.” But Rosen did not answer questions about whether any law enforcement officers were injured and said evidence would come out later. Sepic notes that federal prosecutors charged thirty-six people with assaulting or impeding immigration agents in December and January, but have now dropped eighteen of the cases entirely and eleven more through nonprosecution agreements. Sepic notes that Magistrate Judge David Schultz in April called one of the prosecutors’ charging documents a “false affidavit.” source

Obedience to a constantly raging, racist idiot is abhorrent to decency, democracy and the rule of law. Of course, there will always be lawyers (think fucking Todd Blanche, Emil Bove, Pam Bondi) who will do the bidding of the man in power — no matter how immoral, illegal or otherwise repugnant. Among German lawyers under Mr. Hitler the principle was Führerworte haben Gesetzeskraft –– the Leader’s every fart has the force of law. This is most horrible when the Leader is an insanely enraged and prodigiously flatulent motherfucker.
