Trump’s fellow real estate moron sent to orally pleasure Vladimir Putin

Putin’s special War Crimes and Kidnapping Unit grabbed a then 70 year-old American, teaching English in Ukraine, and rendered him to Russia where, imprisoned, he was tortured for years. As part of the Artist of the Deal’s brilliant Ukraine peace deal with Putin, Trump had his untrained “peace envoy”, fellow genius Steve Witkoff, negotiate the release of the now 75 year-old American who will never have another night’s sleep without nightmares.

Here is what Jared Kushner’s fellow peace envoy/real estate and finance entrepreneur, Witkoff, said to the man who dismantled the Museum for Soviet Era War Crimes (after imprisoning its director on later debunked, baseless pedophilia charges — false charges that he’d raped his own daughter) and has committed too many war crimes against Ukraine to count.

Fuck these fucking putos.

Echoing the idiotic words of moronic nepo-billionaire Jared Kushner

Fortunately for these people (and I use the word in the widest possible sense), millions of low information Trump fan voters are still willing to riot for them, if the Leader exhorts them to. Jared Kushner, poster boy for undeserved, obscene entitlement, railed during Covid that the federal stockpiles of PPE “belong to the federal, they’re not for the states to use, they’re for the federal! [1]”. Here’s another completely unqualified Trump appointee, speaking, with equally compelling brilliance, to a private conference of some kind.

Thomas Frank at Politico received a recording of a speech Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Cameron Hamilton gave today at a private conference in Little Rock, Arkansas, in which he said the Trump administration plans to shift responsibility for disaster management to the states.

Hamilton’s speech built on an internal memo from October 15, which Frank also covered, that said the administration seeks to turn disaster response over to local and state government, thereby “reducing federal dependency.” “Federal dollars should be building greater capability, not creating greater dependency,” Hamilton said today. source

Don’t forget how the federal government distributes federal tax dollars among the states. The wealthiest states, who pay the most in taxes, are predominantly “Blue” states. The states that pay the least into the federal fisc and receive the most in federal ssistance are the states of the former Confederacy (with the exceptions of donor states Texas, Georgia and Florida). Majorities in these impoverished states have all been voting solidly for MAGA, make America the way it was before the goddamned Civil Rights movement made the coloreds so goddamned uppity and entitled! And get your hands off our Medicare and Medicaid, Obama!

Back to the Orange Menace, brazenly violating another popular bipartisan bill he signed into law, the one named for the recently deceased, always loyal to a fault, Lindsey Graham. America’s Ally Betrayer-in-chief threw his support behind his idol and puppet master, the cartoonishly evil Vladimir Puto, with his usual transactional “logic”. Here is my attempt to capture that irrefutable logic (see Trump v. US decision)

The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 — I never knew Graham, he struck me as a very obsequious and, I know you’re not supposed to say this, but deeply closested gay. He didn’t have the inside information I have from my weekly one on one calls with Mr. Putin, and Mr. Musk, the world’s greatest genius, second only to me, has also been in very close contact with Mr. Puto, since 2022, they talk all the time. And Zelensky, that little prick, thinks he’s smarter than me and that he doesn’t have to grovel as low as I tell him to! And, besides, Mr. Putin is helping Iran in its war against us MUCH LESS than he could be, so I won that negotiation too, just like I won the war in Iran that Putin is only helping a little bit to help Iran try to fight, which I don’t resent at all, because Mr. Putin is a dear friend. Did you check out the ass on the Russian strongman? I know I shouldn’t say this, but maybe that’s why Lindsey whatever his name was was jealous enough to support those vicious, lying killers in Hunter Biden’s Ukraine… and those lying Iranian maniacs I may have to annihilate.

As for the so-called Epstein Files Transparency Act, fuck that and the fake near unanimous bipartisan support it had in Congress — my friends will get hurt if Todd releases those 3,000,000 documents as the law supposedly, ALLEGEDLY, requires — and Todd, you know, will do anything for me. Don’t get me started on those junior high school girls — they were NOT VICTIMS, they were all little whores, they knew exactly what they were doing and they were very well paid for girls with no experience in the field.

Back to objective reality: there’s some anger, among those who dislike the pungent smell of open corruption, that Trump lickspittle Alina Habba seems to have received a $50,000,000 job that seems to involve no work, from a Venezuelan billionaire who needed a pardon, in exchange for the presidential pardon that Trump scrawled his name on in Sharpie. Let us not forget what $50,000,000 amounts to for a billionaire, even those clinging to the lowest rung of the billionaire ladder.

Brother can you spare a nickel?

We just heard that Michael Bloomberg, the dictatorial little prick who changed the law, for himself only, a one shot deal, to become NYC mayor a third time, is giving $80,000,000 to corporate Democrats for the midterms. This generous donation is dwarfed by the $500,000,000 he spent on his own vanity campaign to win the 2020 Democratic presidential primary in American Samoa. When hitting the calculator to figure out the percentage of his fortune that is his generous $80,000,000 donation to American democracy, you need to multiply the hypothetical one billion by between 94.9 and 109.4. Meaning that his generous tax-deductible donation amounts to the smallest possible fraction of a penny to him.

Make sure you’re still registered to vote, and check that your polling place hasn’t been changed — vote.org. Vote early, and in person.

This doesn’t mean our homegrown Nazis and the beneficiaries of American fascism (unfettered capitalism taken to its logical end) won’t rain violence on us all to prevent their almost inevitable electoral defeat from translating into loss of power. Their zeal to kill us we can’t control, voting we can. Let’s make the margins too big to mess with, even if they manage to toss out half of our votes through extra-legal means. I am waiting now more than two weeks for papers from a NYC agency that were supposed to be mailed and received within a week. Vote in person, our far-right corporate friends have already decapitated the USPS.

[1] The idiot’s actual words were even better than my recollection: “the notion of federal stockpiles was it’s supposed to be our stockpile, it’s not supposed to be the states stockpiles that they then use.”

NY Times account of bruhaha also “very telling”

Collins called out that a protester interrupting the debate, between herself and Troy Jackson, a debate that was going very badly for her, was a Jackson supporter. Jackson, who’d been listening to her bullshit non-answers, her bobs and weaves to questions she couldn’t answer, and watching millions of dollars of dark money-funded attack ads against him, told her to shut up. The Times covers the exchange, with a focus on Jackson being… well, read it for yourself. Pay close attention to the final assertions of the story, the uncontradicted takeaway from the article. Very telling, I would say, if I were an editor for the New York Times.

Hard to believe they could have fired Bari Weiss.  Oh wait, Superior Intelligence informs me I had it backwards.

Oh I see, so she left voluntarily, based on principle, because the New York Times was a bullying monster with a repressive ideological orthodoxy, that would only tolerate narrowly progressive viewpoints, now I get it. Kind of like the old CBS. Makes perfect sense, in that frame. Here are similar totally sensible, pithily stated moral positions. 

Freedom of speech and of the press.

All the news that’s fit to print.

Fair and balanced.

Democracy dies in darkness.

Make America Great Again.

Manifest destiny.

The war to end war.

Iran must never have nuclear weapons.

THEY’RE EATING THE CATS, THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS, THEY’RE EATING THE PETS!!!!

DOGE — fake agency, real deadly harm, and billions in taxpayer funds flushed down the toilet

President T, on his first day back in office, as part of a quid pro quo for hundreds of millions of dollars and other tireless support from self-interested Elon Musk, gave Musk a fake government agency (DOGE  [1]) that allowed Musk to harvest personal data from every American and defund and close every legally constituted agency that was investigating him and his businesses.  

The gleeful chainsaw wielding maniac (in fairness to him, he may have simply been stoned out of his gourd at CPAC) also let tons of food ready for distribution to poor, malnourished people overseas rot in warehouses, before shuttering USAID for good and killing an estimated million poor people (and counting) in ravaged third world countries.  

OK, fair enough, two “transactional” racist, psychopaths doing business, you scratch my ass, I’ll scratch yours. I may hate it, but I get it.

At the time I was outraged that Trump had not been challenged, or sued, when he illegally created an executive branch agency, DOGE, tasked with a nihilistic project to, among other “move fast and break things” moves, illegally fire as many career civil servants (disproportionately Black and female) as possible with not a peep from the media or anyone else.  Shock and Awe, baby. 

Trump had summarily fired 17 inspectors general so only foxes like himself and Musk guarded the hen house.  Fair enough.  When questioned about whether Musk was head of DOGE, they tap danced for a moment and then appointed a woman as the official head of DOGE.  (Most recently these two super-geniuses conspired with Putin for his most devastating recent war crime attack in the war. They betrayed an American ally, and all of our European and other allies, by shutting down Ukraine’s eyes in the sky as Putin launched a missile attack against civilian targets in his long war of aggression. Not that big of a deal…)

After seeing two great long-form interviews with documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney, about his new epic length (almost 4 hours) Musk, an exploration of a disturbed, disturbing con man and history’s greatest capitalist, Elon Musk, I decided to verify that the president had illegally put Musk, unofficially, in charge of the team of 20 year-old hackers who did such damage. Here’s a short version of the interview with Alex Gibney.

This search took seconds. I asked “can the president create an executive agency?”

Then I asked “who created DOGE department?”

Then I asked myself how nobody seemed to question this obvious violation of the law? In the performance of his “core duties” Trump, his fellow travelers on the Supreme Court ruled, can commit crimes, but still, it seemed like another question needed to be answered, Here is what the actual law is:

If these racist psychopath criminals aren’t Nazis, all of the many books I’ve read about the Nazi seizure of power and the Third Reich were lying to me:

DOGE has claimed to have saved hundreds of billions, although another government entity estimated it cost the government $21.7 billion.[35][36] Another independent analysis estimated that DOGE cuts will cost taxpayers $135 billion;[37] the Internal Revenue Service predicted more than $500 billion in revenue loss due to “DOGE-driven” cuts.[38] Journalists found billions of dollars in miscounting.[39][40] According to critics, DOGE redefined fraud to target federal employees and programs to build political support;[41] budget experts said DOGE cuts were driven more by political ideology than frugality.[42] Musk, DOGE, and the Trump administration have made multiple claims of having discovered significant fraud, many of which have not held up under scrutiny.[43][44][45] According to the estimates of Brooke Nichols, DOGE cuts to foreign aid programs had led to some 300,000 deaths by May 2025, mostly of children.[46][47][48] By February 2026, when her counter that estimated the number of deaths was retired, the numbers were kept at the one-year mark from when the cuts began: 781,343 deaths caused by the funding discontinuation.[49][50][51] source

[1] Meanwhile, because DOGE was established within the Executive Office of the President, its records are protected under the Presidential Records Act, which means that documentation of information including employee salaries isn’t subject to a Freedom of Information Act request until 2034. (source above)

Witch hunt vs witch hunt

When there is probable cause to suspect that evidence of a crime is in somebody’s home or business, a prosecutor can go to a judge with sufficient showing that the search it wants to conduct will probably result in recovery of that evidence. The warrant the judge signs, after finding probable cause, is based on a detailed, sworn statement, something like this:

On or about (date) suspect took top secret documents from a secure government facility. He promised to return all of these documents to the National Archives and Records Administration [NARA] on (date). Suspect is still illegally in possession of these documents, per attached affidavit (sworn statements by NARA and other witnesses). Suspect promised to produce all documents in his possession and has produced none (see affidavit of FBI negotiator). Five other attached witness affidavits attest that they saw boxes of these documents at suspect’s residence, the place to be searched. See also two affiants who have stated they were shown several of these documents by the suspect.

With this kind of detailed showing of probable cause, the specific place to be searched, and reasons they will likely find the evidence in that place, a judge will sign a search warrant to allow the prosecutor to recover evidence of a crime.

These are the kind of specifics, required by the US Constitution, included in the request for an FBI search warrant in US v. Trump: The Espionage Act Witch hunt hoax. Everything contained in that warrant happened to be true and evidence of violation of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice was recovered from the ex-president’s resort/membership club/home.

In other words (Trump’s), an illegal RAID on a private residence conducted by a weaponized and SICK DOJ viciously persecuting a future president who was ROBBED of his rightful three terms by massive bipartisan fraud in the rigged 2020 election (the only presidential election held while he was president — there’s your proof right there!). That the FBI coordinated this illegal raid with Mar-a-Lago staff to be done at a time when the president was out of state is only further proof that the ILLEGAL RAID was a baseless, completely partisan, Deep State, Hunter Biden revenge witch hunt.

That’s why his most loyal federal trial judge eventually dismissed the case, and sealed the final report the Special Counsel was legally required to write, on a novel (and idiotic) legal “theory” pulled directly out of a Black Ku Klux Klansman’s lowest sphincter. If not for Trump’s candidacy and the unaccountably long delay demanded by Trump, until the election was close, an appeal of Cannon’s dismissal of the case on the grounds of an “improperly appointed Special Counsel” would have likely overturned her bullshit dismissal.

Because when it’s a witch hunt, you’re allowed to fight by very different rules, and you fight like hell, as Mr. Trump has known and insisted on since his apprenticeship with Roy Cohn.

Contrast the witch hunt conducted against Trump, for merely lying about retaining some classified and top secret documents he “illegally” took with him, and unclassified with his mind, to the 4:30 a.m. DHS raid on Congress member Ilhan Omar’s home, three weeks before Election Day. The crime Omar is alleged to have committed that necessitated this EMERGENCY RAID is extremely vague, and the search warrant is, conveniently (if you’re a Nazi acting illegally) under seal. Everything Trump demands is justified as an EMERGENCY, in the manner of his hero, the madman who ruled unchallenged for 12 years under Emergency powers.

What is not in dispute is that Ilhan Omar’s laptops, boxes of files and her passport were taken by armed agents of the Department of Homeland Investigations pursuant to a secret warrant allegedly giving probable cause for a dragnet search, the proverbial fishing expedition that Trump (P. Diddy, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Mike “Lock Her UP” Flynn and everyone else similarly accused always claim) accused the FBI of conducting when they searched Mar-A-Lago and found, to absolutely noone’s surprise, ample evidence of his undisputable crime.

The probable cause search warrant for the baseless emergency pre-dawn raid of Omar’s home, is secret, as are the exact crimes charged, because there is almost certainly no actual fucking crime alleged — outside of her now deceased father supposedly misstating something on immigration documents in the 1990s, when when Ilhan was in Elementary or Junior High School.

This is from the NY Times:

The three people who described the execution of the search warrant spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it.

The search warrant, executed 22 days before Election Day, lists a series of potential immigration crimes under investigation, including false statements and fraud in immigration paperwork, as well as a general conspiracy charge, according to a person familiar with the document.

An internet search yields no result showing any details of the application for the search warrant, except that it was rejected at least once prior to a magistrate signing off on it. Search warrants are usually sealed until charges are filed against the party who was searched, if evidence of crime was found.

In Trumpworld, the sensational story and explosive, if vague, even idiotic, charges are enough to show the likely guilt of the person they just searched pursuant to a very serious EMERGENCY search warrant for extremely serious crimes committed that cannot yet be made public — for National Security reasons. It puts everyone on notice that nobody is too high and mighty for a “perfectly legal” government break-in and seizure of their personal property, including their passport (DANGEROUS FLIGHT RISK!!!) not to mention the tens or hundreds of thousands in legal fees to clear your name from frivolous charges.

Never mind the DOJ’s policy of not conducting any investigation of a candidate within 60 days of an election, or in Trump’s case, two years prior to the election when he declared his candidacy and starting screaming like a stuck pig about election interference. Why was Homeland Security Investigations the agency doing the search instead of the FBI? To avoid the DOJ rule? Because Kashyap Patel is deep in enough other scandals? Because Article II means the president can do whatever he wants, even commit serious crimes?

The main thing for radicalized reactionaries and the tech billionaires who get lucrative government contracts from them, is to move fast, break norms, make examples of and financially destroy people who pose any threat to their front man’s right to Fuhrerwortes haben Gesetzeskraft play to your cult, throw them bloody meat and exhort them to fight like hell, to fight dirty or we will never have a Fourth Reich here, as Jesus Christ, gun in hand, demands!

Nazis got to Nazi. This also from the NY Times article:

In March, Vice President JD Vance reiterated that claim, which he said he had discussed with the White House senior aide Stephen Miller. [link not from NY Times article, but check it out!]

“We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud,” Mr. Vance told a conservative podcaster. The next step, he said, was to figure out how to “build a case necessary to get some justice for the American people.”

What further proof does MAGA nation need? She’s a pro-democracy female with a big mouth, she’s Black, she’s a Muslim, she comes from AFRICA, she eats the dogs, she eats the cats, SHE’S EATING THE PETS! HOW SICK IS THAT?!!!

For everyone else reading this:

Moral Injury

The concept of moral injury arose in the military. It was used to describe the horror and hopelessness felt by soldiers who had followed immoral, even if not strictly illegal, orders. It was a loss of faith — in themselves, their ability to know right from wrong, their ability to trust their leaders and their fellow humans to act with moral decency.

The concept is useful to describe the communal injury we all (well, about 67% of us) are having inflicted on us continually as billionaires seek to control all of our life decisions in the service of maximizing their already unnecessarily exponential profits. Here’s our billionaire president, addressing leaders of the other 192 member nations at the UN yesterday:

In his speech today, President Donald J. Trump, reading haltingly off a teleprompter, said: “I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?” source

Threatening to commit a crime against humanity is a crime against humanity, under international law. Except in the Bizarro World these supremely determined moral injury inflicting psychopaths inhabit.

Example of a direct description of moral injury:

A moral injury is a deep, persistent wound to our sense of justice, of right and wrong, our faith in our fellow humans. It involves a crippling loss of faith in our own judgement and sanity and that of our leaders and those who purport to protect us. Victims of moral injury frequently feel suicidal from the hopelessness that comes from their loss of faith in human goodness. We are, all of us, in this overwrought moment in history, deliberately subjected to moral injury at all times in our 24/7 age of instant influence, concentration of power and assertion of anti-consensual, corporate control as the party in power tries to “own” everybody else.

Our elected government asserts its right to kill foreign nationals in fishing boats far from our shores, on mere suspicion of drug running, and execute the wounded survivors of the boat strikes with drones; explode girls in their classrooms in Minab, mistakenly targeted by AI for a US Tomahawk missile strike, kill more girls in a follow-up strike and claim their own leaders killed the girls with US missiles; to shoot, point blank, in the back, in the face, American citizens who pose no threat to masked federal agents and claim the murdered citizens were terrorists; to keep “illegals” guilty of no crime in concentration camp conditions, cramped, without decent food and water, medical care or sanitation, brutalized by guards; we get to annihilate Iran if the leader wants to; sadly the list continues for longer than I can sit here tapping at the keyboard (without vomiting).

All of these things, done in our names, inflict a moral injury on a large sector of the population.   This injury is compounded by the feeling of helplessness imposed by the constant aggressive assertion of the right of the privileged elite to act upon the rest of us without our consent. 

If you can shoot a woman in the face, point blank, and as her dying body slumps on the gas pedal and the car veers off to crash into a tree, call her “fucking bitch” at the end of the video you made of the entire murder — and your government immediately claims that the murdered woman was a domestic terrorist attempting to kill an agent righteously performing his duty, who shot her three times in self-defense while 100% immune from prosecution anyway, try to imagine something worse that one person can do to another, that a government can do to its citizens.  If that kind of cold-blooded murder by a government worker is “perfectly justified”– then, literally, any atrocity you can think of is fine.

This is always the tactic of fascists. The state has a monopoly on the use of deadly force. If you can ensure the state is fascist, a rigid hierarchy controlled by an all-powerful, unscrupulous, unaccountable elite marshalling the citizens for spectacle and war only, the game for absolute control of everyone is won.

As for our moral injuries, we are told to be quiet and not whine about them. Our supremely intrusive non-consensual government, committing its many heinous crimes openly, brazenly justifying them, calling murdered victims the perpetrators, dead perpetrators righteous martyrs, millions in compensation paid to their families, is bascially telling us to take our moral injuries somewhere quiet and go fuck them.

The academic approach to defining moral injury  (which explains why so many hate academia):

Moral injury (MI) is characterised by persistent psychological distress following events that violate moral beliefs. There has been a lot of interest in moral injury particularly over recent years given our increasing knowledge that MI is linked with adverse mental health outcomes including PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), depression, and suicidality. Whilst we know that potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) can cause moral injury, there is no agreed definition of what a PMIE is. Often discussions on this topic suggest that PMIEs should be ‘high stakes’ events although there is no agreed threshold as to what events are high stakes and what events are not. source

With all respect — fuck you, Doc. You will perhaps gain insight into the parameters of legitimate PMIEs, and the predictive track of their MI-derived adverse mental health outcomes, once you lose funding for your essential research into the exact nature of MI.

The rest of us know a moral injury by experiencing the pain of it, even if we don’t know what to call it.

Hitler would be so proud

Trump’s grandfather dodged military service in Germany, while making some money in the US, and was deported from Germany on his return to the Fatherland. Trump’s father pretended to be Swedish during World War Two, while also avoiding military service, this time in the US (he was a birthright citizen, both of his parents German immigrants) — with a doctor’s report that he had bone spurs.  Donald also got a series of military deferments during the Vietnam War for bone spurs that somehow didn’t interfere with, in his telling, being a highly valued major league baseball prospect.

The family is of German origin, and Trump and his father shared many of the values of the Third Reich: racism, belief in a genetic hierarchy that made them naturally superior, a world composed of über and üntermenschen, militaristic defense of blood and soil, killing of all enemies, the necessity for ruthless cruelty in the face of the curse of that Jewish invention (according to no less an authority than Mr. Hitler himself) — conscience, and the rest of the Nazi’s compelling ideology.

I read the news just now, on Yom Kippur of all days (more on that later) that Trump (through his handlers at the Heritage Foundation and their autocratic ilk) is planning to announce sanctions to defund the International Criminal Court, the body created after the atrocities of World War Two, the killing of tens of millions of civilians, to allow the civilized nations to enforce laws against war criminals who commit crimes against humanity. He plans to do this at this week’s gathering of UN leaders under the theme “Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations that Delivers for All.”

Needless to say, Trump isn’t buying that commie bullshit. Mr. Hitler’s, and Japan’s, effective, punishing, iron law of humanity war strategies have been very unfairly portrayed by the lying media, biased, woke historians, America hating museums, surviving eye witnesses and so-called academia, according to apologists like Trump. They lie as easily as they breathe, these so called victims…

Read all about it. Mr. Hitler is smiling down there in the smoking section of that hot place where he’s spending eternity, according to the religion he was born into.

Meanwhile, media silence on this deranged “truth” from the 47th president, vomited out a week ago, during business hours, for a change.

Don’t forget that the Crooked Joe Biden FBI, posing as Trump’s FBI while Trump was still president, incited a fake riot at the Capitol to make Trump look bad and help the guy who just stole the election from Trump become another illegitimate Dumocrat prezzzident…

Here’s Todd, who was there at Butler, he claims, when the president miraculously survived a murder attempt, by less than 1/2 an inch, waiting his turn to resume his many services to the demanding, but delicious, candidate who was almost killed by Biden and his FBI director, who had been appointed by Trump, but was a vicious traitor ready to murder his benefactor, like all the betraying RINOs who conspired with Democrats, Muslims, “Illegals”, Communists, Blacks, Women, the Woke, Dead Voters, etc. in the steal of the 2020 election. Makes perfect sense, right Mr. H?

You’re making your idol so proud, sir. (tears streaming down my face as I type those words)

No reason NOT to trust them not to commit crimes

Just because Trump’s backers spent $50,000,000 on an ad campaign, between the time he lost in 2020 by seven million votes, (and an electoral college margin identical to his MANDATE in 2016) to convince his 39% diehard supporters that the election was stolen, brought dozens of failed, evidence-free lawsuits, twisted state election officials’ arms, submitted slates of fake electors, had a detailed plan for Congress to overturn the election results, lateraled the strategic ball to an uncooperative, Constitution obeying Mike Pence, staged a violent assault on the Capitol and all the rest, doesn’t mean that they will do any of these things again. Of course not.

Maya Angelou: when somebody tells you who they are, believe them.

We know who these criminals are. We know who pardoned the worst of the worst. We know he sells pardons, CBS even gave us a price list on their recant 60 Minutes episode — though pointing out that it was perfectly fine, legal, kosher. We know Trump wants his new postmaster general to ignore the Supreme Court and secretly refuse to deliver mail from selected zip codes, as the predecessor postmaster, Trump megadonor and arrogant piece of shit Louis DeJoy, surely did in 2020 and 2024. My hair was on fire before the 2024 election, knowing exactly how DeJoy could put his ass on the scale to benefit his unpopular, incompetent, vicious candidate. I sent mail to friends in other states and tracked how long it took to be delivered, sometimes it was weeks. I followed Jon Ossoff’s visit to the Atlanta regional distribution center, after DeJoy ordered all high speed mail sorting machines dismantled in majority Democratic cities. I tried every way I could think of to get somebody to cover the story, get someone in government to explain why Trump’s postmaster was still on the job and three Biden appointees to the Postal Board of Governors were in limbo. I got no response, not even from Ossoff, who had seen how DeJoy could turn a dial in a given regional center to move on time delivery from 90% to 40% at will. The hideous details of my futile attempt are here.

We need to vote early, win the midterms by margins too big for the MAGA election officials to fuck with. We need to stay focused on the goal of overcoming these Nazi fucks, many of whom have been home on vacation until after the election so no vote can be held in the House of Representatives. MAGA Mike “Christian/Constitutional Scholar/Closeted Kewpie Doll” Johnson, taking no chances on any votes that could embarrass his party, and there are many upcoming votes that would. The wheels are falling off the MAGA shit-wagon, and even some of the buzzards are starting to fall off.

Below is a sampling of past and present crimes being committed by our criminally insane Leader and his administration. May it fuel your determination to vote these psychopaths out of power.

We can all be disgusted that Hakim Jefferies met with Trump’s unofficial Board of Peace diplomatic minister with a multi-billion dollar Saudi/UAE portfolio. It is sickening. We have to vote for every Democrat on the ballot, even the corporate ones, and let the new Democrats — and our voices — get them into line once Trump is on the defensive in Congress, where a criminal president belongs, no matter what affable, corporatist balls and strikes umpire and supreme partisan John Roberts may feel about this individual criminally insane representative of his class and “racial” interests. Fuck those putos, but vote for even the shittiest Democrats, since that is our only path to moving forward as a democracy. Once MAGA is voted out of power, we can straighten the rest of this out.

World economy between a rock and a hard place, and a new oath to the Leader

Saudi Arabia, medieval Sharia Law monarchy, home of almost every 9/11 hijacker and almost certainly the biggest beneficiary of the late night Sept. 10, 2001 stock sales that netted some still anonymous parties many, many billions, was shipping through the Red Sea. A proxy for Iran just closed that shit down. Here’s the map. World economic crash, here we come!

Not to worry, we have a strategic and very stable genius, Putin’s confidant, and the most honest man ever to hold a nation hostage, in charge of everything. In our names. He’ll be fine. And God bless these United Shayyysh.

If you missed it, it’s worth checking out the Führer-oath that Trump had his followers repeat at his recent Trumpapalooza.  Note that nobody saw him sleeping at that historic event, though he was dozy at the 9/11 ceremony he attended at the Pentagon.  Check this mad shit out:

Please raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can’t even breathe. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I’ll do it any way — I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try to cheat like hell like they do. There’s never been bigger cheaters. They don’t care. I am going to go out and I’m going to get my friends, my family. And we are going to vote on Nov. 3, or we are going to vote before that.

Get your vomit bucket ready, patriots

Quick flashback to the Day of Love, January 6. 2021

And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.

Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country.

Nazi megalomaniacs will be Nazi megalomaniacs…

And God bless the United Shayssh

This is why the GOP has to rig this election to have any hope of remaining in power

If you can’t win an election based on the popularity of your policies, and you must maintain power because of the many crimes your administration has committed, including many war crimes and massive public corruption, there are many ways to make sure people who dislike the job you’re doing don’t vote you out of the majority. Most of the ways are illegal , but, as Trump told his angry crowd on the Patriotic Day of Peace and Love, January 6, 2021 (note his bashing of tech billionaires, now his fondest ass lickers), [1]

The Republicans have to get tougher. You’re not going to have a Republican Party if you don’t get tougher. They want to play so straight. They want to play so, sir, yes, the United States. The Constitution doesn’t allow me to send them back to the States. Well, I say, yes it does, because the Constitution says you have to protect our country and you have to protect our Constitution, and you can’t vote on fraud. And fraud breaks up everything, doesn’t it?

“When you catch somebody in a fraud, you’re allowed to go by very different rules.“

So you invent fraud that allows you to go by very different rules. You have Putin’s agents call in 2,000 Election Day urban polling place bomb threats instead of the mere 200 they phoned in to Democratic majority districts, in 2024. You post armed masked Klansmen and wife-beaters at all majority Black and Hispanic polling places, to protect The Homeland (die Heimat- in the original German) from communist election fraud.

You conspire with your Postmaster to illegally enforce your selective ban on mail-in voting, to suppress enemy votes. With a partisan, complicit, Supreme Court majority ready to help out on an emergency basis 90% of the time, you create chaos over invasive new federal regulations for mail-in voting. The 6-3 Federalist Society majority can be counted on to make emergency shadow docket decisions that delay or expedite, as required, help sow confusion, make random, senseless rulings effectively allowing Trump to act illegally and making sure their fellow travelers can funnel unlimited dark money to their candidates, and ensure broadcasters provide the lowest possible rates for their attack ads (like Friday afternoon’s order).

You, the federal government, continue to illegally seek voter rolls from the states, who are in charge of all elections in their borders, so Trump’s people know exactly who to disenfranchise, whose legally cast ballots not to count, no matter how many courts rule against you on this illegal request. The Supreme Court Six will help out in a pinch to do whatever is needed. Your 0-23 record in these voter roll release demand cases, in the 23 states who have fought back so far, is no impediment to the unappealable Supreme Court, who now routinely rules for Trump without even hearing arguments on the merits, or being encumbered by their own precedents, before issuing an anonymous, per curiam, thumbs up for their favorite grifting dotard.

You plant violent criminals in peaceful crowds and have them cause riots that require the National Guard, ICE, CBP, The Bureau of Prisons, the National Parks Service, the Secret Service and other federal officers to put down. Deputize the KKK. In a pinch, you stage a dramatic, 9/11 style mass-death terror event two days before Election Day, burn down Congress, kill a number of elected officials, declare a state of national emergency, the Insurrection Act.

Blame communists, transexuals, environmentalists, Muslims, Immigrants, Haitians, Syrians, college students, woke communist professors, Palestinians, anti-Semites, Jews, Black Lives Matter, experts, scientists, DEI, CRT, Trump Derangement Syndrome, Dumocrat freedom-hating terrorists, The Southern Poverty Law Center, the fake news, gays, naturalized citizens, vaccine supporters, RINOs etc. It really doesn’t matter who you blame, as long as you can put boots on the ground to enforce the election results you desperately need.

There is also AI, the main weapon of Trump’s former enemies in the tech sector. Now that Trump has all these psychopaths lining up to kiss his “ring” AI, which appears to be uncontrollable and accelerating rapidly in its ability to destroy, is in the service of MAGA. As is nationwide surveillance, Palantir, every advanced data mining and data undermining tool of the fascist billionaire vanguard.

All of these stratagems, and more, are on the table for Trump in the midterms. January 6th was just a dress rehearsal. If only he’d let the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers ferry that weapons arsenal across the water from Virginia to arm the love army at the Capitol and had had the courage not to call in the National Guard… I’m sure many of his people who smashed their way into the Capitol still feel cheated that they didn’t get to hang Mike Pence, especially after what they suffered at the hands of Biden’s weaponized DOJ for merely breaking into a joint session of Congress to prevent Biden’s certification.

The Heritage Foundation, founded to limit mass participation in democracy and foster autocracy as the surest way for the best and most important citizens to rule everybody else, while moving all wealth upwards to themselves, laid out a detailed blueprint of what they would immediately do if their candidate got back into power. President Project 2025, not known for keeping his word, or being faithful to any person or principle, has followed that blueprint faithfully– as he kept his 2016 promises to The Federalist Society, the wealthiest Americans and Evangelical Christian leaders.

The effect on most of us, not among the best and most deserving, has been pretty bad so far, deadly for some, precarious for millions. The rich have become richer, which nobody can deny — or explain the necessity for. 1/4 of our record $40,000,000,000,000 national debt was stacked on by business genius and serial bankrupt Donald Trump, working tirelessly for his masters — and, of course, for himself.

The Nazis could not have come to power in Germany without widespread economic desperation, worldwide misery, terror and violence. When people lose their homes, their livelihood, healthcare, their right to vote, their neighbors to masked men in unmarked vans and assault weapons, who take them to private concentration camps whose stock prices are going through the roof and people have to choose between food and gasoline, while your leaders lie and openly ignore the needs of the everyone but themselves, you have the basic foundation for civil unrest. Wealthy political appointees ostentatiously use private government jets as American farmers are literally losing their farms because of Trump’s billionaires only policies and his childish, vindictive tariffs. What you really need, if you are an aspiring fascist movement, is a devastating worldwide Depression like the 1929 one that brought us Mr. Hitler and his crew.

Trump is doing everything in his power, and beyond it, to crash the world economy (see, for example, Strait of Hormuz, trade war with Canada, weasel-dicked support for Putin and other war criminals), as he concerns himself exclusively with insider trading, lucrative quid pro quos with eager billionaires seeking government contracts, fleecing his most loyal supporters (he made over a billion on his cryptocurrency, up front, his suckers lost almost five billion on their investment) and building massive, gilded monuments to his flailing ego. He sends government lawyers to court every day to argue that he gets to violate all laws, ignore any rulings he doesn’t like and build golden tributes to himself, no matter what the law might say about building permits, unauthorized demolitions, states being in charge of elections, etc. He doesn’t care how any of it looks.

And Trump says so out loud, that’s his genius, the reason millions still admire his honest, open, unrepentant lies — he looks into the camera and honestly announces that he doesn’t care about the American public, he claims to care only about preventing the terrorist state of Iran from getting nuclear weapons. His followers are infected by what psychiatrist, and expert on violent psychopaths, Bandy Lee calls Trump Contagion. His psychopathy has been embraced by his most ardent followers.

His endless self-serving lies have given his base’s worst instincts permission to express themselves, freed lynch mobs to lynch again, and his angry, frightened, violence-prone supporters love him unconditionally for the exhilaration expressing their hatred provides them, whether or not they can see the nooses he has ready for them (ask any non-billionaire American farmer).

Project 2025’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” which shifted hundreds of billions to the billionaires and their corporate alter egos, is set to take full effect right after the 2026 midterms. Expect things to immediately get much worse for the average American once all the delayed budget cuts kick in.

To call ICE and CBP detention centers privatized concentration camps is not an exaggeration. With the backing of Trump’s administration (including an FBI documented $50,000 bribe to “border czar”Tom Homan, right before the 2024 election), and the assistance of armed, violence-prone, fully immunized masked federal agents, the owners of these lucrative hellholes have fought allowing members of Congress to conduct inspections. The death toll in our American concentration camps is unknown, though conditions are known to be horrible. We can assume the death toll is rising as detentions increase. These deaths don’t count the more than 200 South American fishermen pulverized on the high seas by toxic masculinity poster boy, and pirate, Pete Hegseth, killer of 160 girls in an Iranian school mistakenly targeted by AI. Hegseth is almost certainly getting regularly shitfaced again.

Once you disenfranchise (literally) and immiserate millions of working class Americans, you can rule unimpeded by so-called democracy and do whatever you like to these hateful losers. Why not put a couple of million of them into GEO and Core Civic detention facilities, concentration camps, actually, if only to teach the rest a nice, tart lesson? Cah-ching! One dirty hand washes the other. Blame the poor for being helpless, feckless, shiftless, greedy, thieving, endlessly grasping. If they complain, or try to organize, it’s class warfare! The only class entitled to defend itself in war is the victorious class, the best of the best…

To ensure that wars, so good for business, investment, and economic devastation here and abroad continue unimpeded, and our allies shift as needed to justify hundreds of billions more for “the Department of War” we send completely unqualified idiots to negotiate peace in various forever wars. What is the arrogant, mediocre real estate grifter Jared Kushner’s credential to be a peace envoy? He got to do what Trump only fantasized about, have sex with Ivanka.

Plus, his criminal father, who committed felonies and was pardoned by Trump, the US ambassador to France, is a real estate billionaire. You only need to hear Jared Kushner speak for a moment to get a sense of the depth of his skill and experience. We did the unthinkable, says the billionaire imbecile. including weaponizing a worldwide plague with a war against mask mandates (masks are for the American Gestapo only!) to unnecessarily kill a half a million Americans in the name of reactionary MAGA and dividing our country to the brink of civil war.  Plus Jared got literally billions from Muhammad bin Bonesaw, the Palestinians are irrational and impossible to negotiate with (nice beachfront real estate, though) and libtards are all just deranged, enraged, jealous cucks who want our federal stuff when it belongs to the federal! Here’s the boy genius in his own words.

[1] My favorite stream of consciousness digression during Trump’s mad incitement speech on J6:

And I had Brian Kemp, who weighs 130 pounds. He said he played offensive line in football. I’m trying to figure that out. I’m still trying to figure that out. He said that the other night, “I was an offensive lineman.” I’m saying: “Really? That must have been a very small team.” But I look at that and I look at what’s happened and he turned out to be a disaster. This stuff happens.
