What in the living fuck? I think we may have to hope all countries discontinue trade with us, the US, until the fuckwad is committed.
How are his supporters supporting any of this idiocy anymore? Not like it’s the first time the nonsense started, proved via @Smapti 's posts. (I appreciate those, dude.)
He really thinks he’s running a company that was given to him, not a nation, like before.

Also, we have all the cards, they have none!
It’s a shedding game.
OH MY GOD HE FELL FOR IT.
Imagine how many useless MAGA fucks looking at the reflecting pool slop and marvel at how fit and trim Trump looks.
Hey, other countries! Screw you! We don’t need you, you horrible jerks! But also, please join our cool new Hormuz team? Please? We love you! But also, f*ck off and die, losers!
Only One Billion Dollars (Trump coin) to join.
Even as a young man Donald apparently did NOT look fit or trim. As several have noted, Donald has owned properties featuring luxurious swimming pools for decades—yet has never, ever been photographed with his shirt off.
Today, of course, he’s be hiding his grossness. But what was he hiding when in his thirties??
Megyn Kelly to Karl Rove: “Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better, or is this real?” Still a valid question 14 years later.

Who cares if you lose if you’re not going to follow the order?
When a federal judge shot down a Trump administration policy of holding immigrants without bond last December, it seemed like a serious blow to the president’s mass deportation effort.
Instead, a top Justice Department official insisted the ruling wasn’t binding, and the administration continued denying detainees around the country a chance for release.
By February, the district court judge, Sunshine Sykes, was fed up. Sykes, a nominee of President Joe Biden, accused Trump officials in a ruling that month of seeking “to erode any semblance of separation of powers,” adding that they could “only do so in a world where the Constitution does not exist.”
Hardly isolated, the case illustrates a broader pattern of defiance of lower court decisions in President Donald Trump’s second term.
The failure of Trump officials to follow court orders has been highlighted most notably in individual immigration cases. But a review of hundreds of pages of court records by The Associated Press also shows an extraordinary record of violations in lawsuits over policy changes and other moves.
In the second Trump administration’s first 15 months in office, district court judges ruled it was violating an order in at least 31 lawsuits over a wide range of issues, including mass layoffs, deportations, spending cuts and immigration practices, the AP’s review of court records found. That’s about one out of every eight lawsuits in which courts have at least temporarily blocked the administration’s actions.
The Republican administration’s power struggle with federal courts — which is testing basic tenets of U.S. democracy — reflects an expansive view of executive authority that has also challenged the independence of federal agencies, a president’s ethical obligations , and the U.S.’s role in the international order.
Well, there you go. Ethical obligations is a completely foreign expression to him. Moving on.
The violations in the 31 lawsuits are in addition to more than 250 instances of noncompliance judges have recently highlighted in individual immigration petitions — from failing to return property to keeping immigrants locked up past court-ordered release dates.
Legal scholars and former federal judges said they could recall at most a few violations of court rulings over the full four-year terms of other recent presidential administrations, including Trump’s first time in office. They also noted previous administrations were generally apologetic when confronted by judges; the Trump administration’s Justice Department has been outright combative in some cases.

Secretary of War Crimes lies like the felon’s lapdog he is.
The Pentagon shaved roughly half off the cost of the Iran war when telling Congress it was about $25 billion, while internal estimates put it closer to $50 billion.
On Wednesday, a senior Defense Department official said before the House Armed Services Committee that President Donald Trump’s war in the Middle East , now in its third month, had so far cost $25 billion. Most of the cost so far has gone toward munitions, operations and maintenance, and equipment replacement, said acting Under Secretary of Defense Jules Hurst.
But U.S. officials familiar with internal assessments told CBS News that the offensive’s true price tag to date is closer to $50 billion. The Pentagon’s official figure presented in congressional testimony this week likely did not account for equipment destroyed or damaged in the conflict, the officials suggested.
Impeachment articles filed against the war criminal!
Rep. Yassamin Ansari, a Democrat from Arizona, says she has introduced six articles of impeachment against the United States Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. According to her, his recent appearance before the House Armed Services Committee proves that he is unfit for office.
In her recent TikTok video posted from an airport, Ansari explained that Hegseth was unable to answer simple queries relating to the financial cost of the war on American taxpayers, holding himself accountable for war crimes committed, as well as the future strategy.
“He could not answer basic questions about how much this war has cost American taxpayers,” Ansari stated. “He could not answer or take accountability for the war crimes that he has committed. And he could not answer questions about what sort of plan there is moving forward, what the strategy is, and what the endgame is.”

Medicaid cuts could lead to 1 million missed cancer screenings, study finds 00:42
Nebraska on Friday became the first U.S. state to enact Medicaid work requirements, seven months ahead of the deadline set by the Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill” law.
Health care policy experts say they are closely watching Nebraska’s early rollout of the new rules, which apply to people enrolled in Medicaid under an expansion that allowed more low- and middle-income earners to qualify for the government health insurance program. About 70,000 Nebraskans enrolled in Medicaid through the expansion, out of the roughly 346,000 Medicaid recipients in the state.
People who need Medicaid aren’t exactly rolling Uncle Scrooge McDuck wads of cash. Thus their employment is a precarious thing and it’s more difficult for them to miss work for health care. So the end result of missing cancer screenings, of course, is cancer deaths.

You’d think an article about new bishops’ appointments would belong somewhere else on this board. You’d be wrong.
Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new bishops who have previously criticized the Trump administration or its supporters amid his apparent feud with the White House.
Pope Leo has criticized President Donald Trump’s war with Iran, called his threat to annihilate Iranian civilization “truly unacceptable,” and said he’s not afraid of his administration . The president has called Leo “weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy ,” while Vice President JD Vance, who is Catholic, has said the pope should be “careful when he talks about matters of theology .”
Pope Leo’s new bishops — Evelio Menjivar-Ayala , Robert Boxie III and Gary Studniewski — have track records of criticizing the Trump administration. Menjivar-Ayala will serve as the new bishop for West Virginia, while Boxie and Studniewski will be the auxiliary bishops for the Archdiocese of Washington.
Menjivar-Ayala, 55, is a formerly undocumented immigrant from El Salvador who was brought to the U.S. in the trunk of a car, according to The Washington Post

At his age, he might well have been covered by the Reagan amnesty.
(For a while during Trump’s first administration, there was no better way to trigger Trumpites than to talk about the Reagan amnesty. Nowadays, they’ve lost their Reagan adulation, and they’re all in on 45/47.)
Same thing: his grossness. He’s gross now and he was gross then. I wish he’d put a paper bag or two over his head.
