In fact, the entire city of Washington could get nuked, killing hundreds of thousands, and as long as he’s able to poke his badly-coiffed head out of the bunker afterwards, he’d consider it a win.

Most definitely a win. Hundreds of thousands of people who voted against him eliminated? The DC ctiyscape reduced to rubble leaving it open for him to redevelop according to his vision? What’s the down side?

Not only that, but you know how he feels about a certain group of humans. There’s a reason the place is called Chocolate City.

The felon gets a new lawyer.

NEWARK, New Jersey, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Will Scharf, the White House staff secretary, will become White House counsel and assistant to the president effective September 1, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday.

Scharf will become the White House’s top lawyer after overseeing the administrative work of the Oval Office in his current role.

He also led the National Capital Planning Commission, which approved the president’s construction of the White House ballroom.

I’m going with that last bit is his only real qualification for the job.

And, of course, the Patriot Games is not for patriots.

Donald Trump’s Patriot Games were framed as a way for young Americans to show off their athletic ability. Instead, they’ve devolved into MAGA madness.

The president’s Patriot Games, which are airing on the ESPN app from Aug. 9 to 13, were initially billed as a new national competition featuring one boy and one girl from each American state or territory competing against one another as a way of “celebrating the character, determination, and excellence that define the American spirit.”

But a review by CNN found that contenders were not chosen solely for their athletic ability, but also for their love of MAGA.

The event, which is taking place as part of America’s 250th birthday celebrations, features contestants ages 14 to 17 who are largely white and either homeschooled or attend private Christian schools. Additionally, many of them do not reside in the area they are representing. The male teenager representing Puerto Rico, for instance, is from Texas. Bobbi Vickers, the 16-year-old representing Massachusetts, attends school in California, CNN reported.

IOW: The Vanity Games. The rest of the article describes the clusterfuck the games already are.

A traitor here, a traitor there, a traitor everywhere! Per the felon.

President Donald Trump has celebrated the confirmation of his appointee by skewering a Republican senator who dared oppose him.

Trump, 80, took aim at Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski for not voting to confirm Todd Blanche, who was narrowly confirmed as attorney general by the Senate early Saturday morning.

Senators voted 50-49, with Murkowski and Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine joining all Democrats in opposing Blanche’s nomination to become the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.

Trump took swipes at Murkowski on his Truth Social page, reposting a MAGA supporter’s take that read, “Lisa Murkowski will not vote for Todd Blanche… After having no problem voting for Merrick Garland. Claiming Blanche will weaponize the DOJ and is too political. The same Garland that personally signed off on the raid of President Trump’s home. Murkowski is owned.”

“Traitor,” the post concluded.

He knows nothing about them, so of course Rip van Simple is putting them in charge.

President Donald Trump has reportedly nominated an author of Project 2025 to serve as a watchdog for the Interior Department.

Dennis Kirk, a former official in the White House Office of Personnel Management and one of the authors of the far-right Project 2025 document to serve as the Interior Department’s inspector general, according to The Hill.

Kirk previously served as a watchdog within the intelligence community last year, according to The Washington Post.

House Natural Resources ranking member Congressman Jared Huffman criticized the appointment, calling him “fraudulent.”

“Dennis Kirk is a fake and fraudulent watchdog,” Huffman said in a statement. “Everyone should have their eyes wide open. Each and every thing this political puppet does will be in the service of Donald [Trump].”
