Well, he’ll catch the next one. Or not. It’s entirely possible Trump and I both share a hatred for Don Jr.

The indictment against Kilmar Abrego has been dismissed on grounds of vindictive prosecution.
That makes him eligible for a payout from the Anti-Weaponization Fund!

The man who was once unable to tell Howard Stern what 16×7 is now claims his dementia test involved doing complex arithmetic in his head oj the fly.
Trump on his cognitive test: "It had a question like, 'pick a number, sir, any number.' Okay. 203. 'Multiple by 9. Divide by 2. Add on 1,324. Subtract 1,292. Sir, multiply it out one more time by 19. What is the answer, sir?' I got it right."
Was the questioner on his knees with tears in his eyes. The “sir” kind of gave it away.

Smapti:
Trump says he’s skipping his son’s wedding due to “circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America”.
His public schedule says he’ll be golfing.
This comment might ignite a skirmish, but what the hey. Golf is an environmental disaster. The damage it does to the environment is not exactly negligible. (It doesn’t have to be that way.)
And exactly what does he think of the country he supposedly loves?
President Donald Trump on Thursday launched into an unprompted and untruthful rant about the integrity of the American voting system , unfavorably comparing the very country he leads to developing nations because states continue to allow postal ballots instead of enacting restrictions that would make it easier for his party to win.
Trump was answering questions from reporters at an Oval Office appearance alongside EPA administrator Lee Zeldin when he was asked to comment on the Democratic National Committee’s release of a controversial assessment of their losing effort to defeat his re-election bid two years ago.
Instead of commenting on the report’s conclusions, he claimed American elections “are so rigged.”
“We have a country that has a very corrupt — we have more corrupt elections than third-world countries have, and we ought to get smart … We have to do something about it, and we’re going to do something about it,” Trump said.
What’s the world come to when MTG is the voice of reason?
Former Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she fears President Trump will try to use war to cancel the 2028 presidential election.
Greene , who infamously broke with the president after calling for the release of the Epstein files , referenced a meeting in which Trump alluded to canceling elections.
“I’m concerned,” Greene said on Alex Jones Live
“But at the same time, knowing President Trump, I looked at that, and I thought, I don’t know if he’s saying it, joking.”
Jones, the show’s host and a noted conspiracy theorist, interjected: “I remember that clip. That’s what people do. That’s what psychos do.”
&
Greene told Jones that she believes Trump’s behavior is that of a person “planting an idea over and over and over again.”
“And again, he constantly says it so that he can normalize the idea and test the support and test people’s reactions,” she claimed. “But saying it over and over and over again normalizes the idea.
“And I think it’s incredibly dangerous, and no one should ever accept it.”
KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA CASE DISMISSED!
A federal judge on Friday dismissed the criminal human smuggling case brought by the Department of Justice against Kilmar Abrego Garcia .
U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw granted Abrego Garcia’s motion to dismiss, finding that the federal government failed to rebut Abrego Garcia’s “presumption of vindictiveness .”
Abrego Garcia, who had been living in Maryland with his wife and children, was deported in March of last year to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison – despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation to that country due to fear of persecution – after the Trump administration claimed he was a member of the criminal gang MS-13, which he denies.
He was brought back to the U.S. in June to face human smuggling charges in Tennessee, after which U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis released him from ICE detention while he was awaiting trial.
Judge Crenshaw, in his decision Friday, wrote that the timing of a DHS agent’s decision to reopen a closed investigation of a November 2022 traffic stop, and that “now unrebutted public statements tying the reopened investigation to Abrego’s successful lawsuit taints the investigation with a vindictive motive.”
“Because the presumption of vindictiveness remains unrebutted, the indictment must be dismissed,” Crenshaw said.
Please read the rest of the article. It’s quite enlightening, especially the judge’s comment about due diligence, which, of course, is a foreign language to the felon’s flock of fawning fools.
He hasn’t shot anone on Fifth Avenue (yet), but he’s losing some of the newly evolved.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The day arrived when the Senate just said, No .
President Donald Trump’s political revenge tour met its potential match this week as angry, upset Republican senators, pushed to a breaking point by his seemingly insatiable and outlandish demands — particularly a $1.776 billion fund for Jan. 6 rioters and others he believes were wrongly prosecuted — did the unthinkable.
They simply refused, closed up shop, and went home.
The moment was as rare as it was daring, a sudden flex from the Congress that has become a shell of its former self as a coequal branch, the Republican majority almost always more willing to accommodate the Republican president than to confront him.
The result left in shambles, for now, the GOP’s top priority of passing a roughly $70 billion budget package that would fuel Trump’s immigration and deportation operations for the remainder of his presidential term, into 2029. The voting was postponed until Congress resumes next month, blowing Trump’s June 1 deadline to have it on his desk.
Seriously, why is anyone bringing him in to “speak”?
SUFFERN, New York (AP) — President Donald Trump , from a toss-up congressional district in New York on Friday, began testing his midterm message that was ostensibly on the economy.
But he veered off-topic right from the start, going off on tangents about voter identification, crime in cities, transgender women in sports and “Dumocrats,” his new chosen moniker for the opposition party. He complained that toiletries are locked up in pharmacies, making them harder to buy, and polled the audience on what he should call his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.
Eventually, he landed on the topic of the speech, telling the crowd that he and his party worked to slash taxes and increase take-home pay, while Democrats opposed the effort at every turn.
“I cut your taxes, cut the taxes on workers, families, small business, who are the soul of this state,” Trump said to the audience at Rockland Community College. Listing off the various provisions of the tax law, the president said: “These are all Republican tax cuts. The Democrats voted against every one of these tax cuts.”
From the start, he was off the rails.
Of course he lied.
Republicans blast “anti-weaponization” fund as tense Blanche meeting details emerge 03:21
Washington — President Trump on Friday defended the Justice Department’s new $1.7 billion “anti-weaponization” fund and said he had “allowed” it to go forward, just days after the president asserted he was not involved in its creation.
In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said that he could have received a significant amount of money as part of a settlement of the civil lawsuit he filed against the Internal Revenue Service over a leak of his tax returns, but instead decided to assist others who he claimed were unfairly targeted by the Biden administration.
“I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward,” the president wrote. “I could have settled my case, including the illegal release of my Tax Returns and the equally illegal BREAK IN of Mar-a-Lago, for an absolute fortune. Instead, I am helping others, who were so badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration, receive, at long last, JUSTICE!”
Earlier this week, Mr. Trump twice claimed he was not involved in the settlement of his lawsuit and the creation of the fund announced by the Justice Department on Monday.
“It’s been very well received, I have to tell you. I know very little about it. I wasn’t involved in the whole creation of it and the negotiation,” he said of the fund during an event Monday. “But this is reimbursing people who were horribly treated.”
The war on immigration continues, this time against green card applicants.
The Trump administration on Friday issued a sweeping policy directive requiring most temporary visa holders and humanitarian parolees living in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for and complete their green card applications.
The policy memo issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as part of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown , instructs agency officers to treat U.S.-based “adjustment of status” applications as an “extraordinary form of relief.”
“We’re returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly,” U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesperson Zach Kahler said in a statement. “From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances.”
Immigration lawyers told ABC News the new policy could impact hundreds of thousands of people with temporary work visas who are pursuing permanent residency from within the United States.
Rosanna Berardi, an immigration lawyer in New York, said the policy would affect any foreign national with a pending U.S.-filed green card application, including legal workers and humanitarian parolees.
“Afghans who assisted U.S. forces, Ukrainians fleeing war, face a specific trap: The memo treats their choice to apply for a green card inside the U.S. as an adverse factor, because their admission was temporary,” Berardi said. “Many have nowhere safe to return to.”
Of course this policy is illegal.
Immigration attorney Todd Pomerleaus said the Immigration and Nationality Act allows individuals who were legally inspected and admitted into the country to adjust their status from within the U.S.
“You can’t, through a stroke of a pen, overturn a statute,” he said. “I think it’s illegal, and it’s going to get shut down in court very quickly,” Pomerleau said.
The revenge tour continues.
As 2026 got underway, Donald Trump said his Justice Department had launched an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar , a Minnesota Democrat whom the president seems to hate more than most other members of Congress. By the president’s telling, the DOJ probe followed a directive posted to his social media platform in which he said officials should investigate Omar for unspecified “Financial and Political Crimes.”
There was no way to know whether Trump’s claims were true or made up, but JD Vance spoke to reporters this week at a White House press briefing, during which the vice president confirmed that Trump’s DOJ really is going after the progressive congresswoman.
In response to a question about the administration’s interest in Omar, Vance said :
I don’t want to prejudge an investigation. I mean, you read the things about Ilhan Omar and about who she married and whether she didn’t marry this person or that person. It certainly seems like something fishy is there, but everybody’s entitled to equal justice under the laws. So, we’re going to investigate it, we’re going to take a look at it. If we think that there’s a crime, we’re going to prosecute that crime. And that’s something the Department of Justice is looking at right now.
Notice he brought up that bigoted nonsense about Omar’s brother.

Add one more thing to the list of “things Trump found out about for the first time 15 minutes ago and assumed nobody else knew about it either;” the existence of silent letters.
Also, he’s posting cringy AI slop again.

This would be a good time to for a resurgence of the word “mouldering”.
With all those MickeyDee hamberders I doubt he will. He’ll just dry out like they do.
To the tune of “John Brown’s Body”:
Don Trump’s body lies a-moulderin’ in his grave,
Just the biggest asshole on the planet being an asshole on the official White House twitter account. There’s just nothing like proving to the whole world that the country is run by deeply unserious people.
Yes! I’m glad somebody says it. And if golf being the Supreme Ineptstein Orange Utang’s favourite sport does not finish this shit forever, I don’t know what will. In semi arid regions of Spain golf is consuming so much water that other food and feed crops suffer regularly, and sometimes even people. I mention Spain because I know it best, but it is the same all over the world. Fuck golf second
