The mofo (actually “wannabe daufo”, IYKWIM) got a twofer today to piss me off! 1. [Screw replacing Affordable Care Act; just repeal that nasty ol’ Obama success](https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-senate-republicans-kill-obamacare-now-replace-later-105033871--business.html). 2. [Let’s double down on false accusations and rights violations, damnit, state governments; give up the name, date of birth, and social security number fir every voter registered over the last ten years](https://www.yahoo.com/news/states-saying-no-white-houses-requests-voter-information-184740877.html). Funny thing about number 1: Trump supporters will continue to support him even though this uneqivocally proves he doesn’t care about anyone other than himself. Funny thing about number 2\*: The head of the BS commission the twerp set up by executive order admits that his own state cannot provide that information because state law prohibits doing so. We already know one of the twerp-in-chief’s heroes was Hitler. Why can’t he do the best thing Hitler managed to do, and why can’t he be quick about it? \*Juvenile humor admission: Lately, every time I hear the term “number two”, I think, “Oh, you mean a trump”. ---

It’s just after 9 a.m., Saturday, 1 July 2017, here in Beijing. I’m watching the news on CCTV 13. President Xi is in Hong Kkng. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong and other members of her administration just recited their oath of office in front of the president, after which each member of the administration walked across the stage to be congratulated by the president. AND it was still less surreal than the stunt that s.o.b. in the White House required from his [del]flacks[/del] administration. What does that tell you when the government of the largest communist country on Earth is not as bizzare as what’s hapoening with America’s presidency? ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > Trump v. Morning Joe. Too bad Trump is unarmed in this battle. Of all the many bizarre turns of this Presidency, this is turning out to be one of the oddest: there seems to be evidence that earlier this year, [high-level administration staffers tried to extort a personal apology to Trump from the “Morning Joe” hosts](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/trump-joe-mika-tweet-national-enquirer/532389/) by threatening to allow the publication of a negative article about them in the _National Enquirer_. I’m not sure whether the linked article is entirely accurate, not least because the administration’s actions seem so utterly pointless and counterproductive, but then it’s not as of Der Trumpster hasn’t done anything pointless and counterproductive previously… ---

Why _National Enquirer_? I’d bet real money it’s one of the few print media Occupy White House hizzelf bothers to read, considering it to, ironically, not be fake news and thus, in his staff’s view, the best place for theit boss to see the negative article. ---

He continues the [purge of all science and rationality](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/science-division-of-white-house-office-now-empty-as-last-staffers-depart/) in his admisnistration. The office of science and technology now has ZERO employees in the science division: > [@](#): > > On Friday afternoon, Eleanor Celeste, the assistant director for biomedical and forensic sciences at the OSTP, tweeted, “Science division out. Mic drop” before leaving the office for the last time. > > Kumar Garg, a former OSTP staffer under Mr. Obama, also tweeted, “By COB today, number of staffers in White House OSTP’s Science Division = 0.” ---

I’d bet real money it’s one of the few print media Occupy White House hizzelf bothers to read, considering it to, ironically, not be fake news and thus, in his staff’s view, the best place for theit boss to see the negative article. This article may be paywalled ( sorry ) but it’s a New Yorker article about the close relationship between the owner of the Enquirer, the aptly named David Pecker and Trump. > **[The National Enquirer’s Fervor for Trump](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/07/03/the-national-enquirers-fervor-for-trump)** > > The tabloid is defined by its predatory spirit. Why has it embraced the President with such sycophantic zeal? They are close and the Enquirer has managed to squash Trump stories -the article alleges that they shut up a girlfriend of Trumps that was threatening to go public by paying her off with a really good job. Then there were the assorted hit pieces published against Trump rivals during the primary season. The stuff about Ted Cruz having 5 mistresses and his dad killing Kennedy or something. Stuff about Ben Carsons past Just googled Enquirer Rubio on a hunch and found an article in Feb 2016 alleging a Rubio sex scandal. Not to mention scads of headlines callling Hillary a sociopath and a criminal. Then there were lots puff pieces about Trump himself. So that why the National Enquirer /Trump. They’re his media arm. ---
