I did that for about a day or so. That was fun, but I could not maintain that. It certainly was not out of any concern for the felon. That was just too much grief for a short little word like that pronoun to be tainted with forever.
Of course he’s going to pardon her. That’s why he said he has the authority. It’s foreshadowing because he’s too stupid to not foreshadow something like that. Also, if he weren’t going to pardon her, she’d already have been sent overseas without notification.
I say that person’s name, and then spit.
Fuck. Get me off this planet.
A friend of mine who’s retired from the IRS got one of those Homeland Security recruitment letters. He says a lot of bounty hunters are signing up, and that all age restrictions for recruits have been waived.
The felon has killed PBS and NPR.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced on Aug. 1 that it was starting an “orderly wind-down of its operations” weeks after Congress passed a measure that clawed back more than $1 billion in funds to the organization.
The announcement came a day after U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, said the Senate Appropriations Committee hadn’t included funding for the corporation in its fiscal 2026 spending bill.
“It is a shameful reality, and now communities across the country will suffer the consequences as over 1,500 stations lose critical funding," Murray said, according to The Hill.
The corporation has said more than 70% of its federal funding, which it disperses to NPR and PBS, goes to local public media stations. PBS advocates previously told USA TODAY the budget cuts would disproportionately affect rural areas.
President Donald Trump called for the outlets’ federal funding to be pulled in May, saying “neither entity presents a fair, accurate or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens.”
Corporation for Public Broadcasting employees were told on Aug. 1 that most staff positions would be slashed as the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30. Some staff would remain through January 2026 to “ensure a responsible and orderly closeout of operations,” according to the corporation’s news release.
Pardon me for a while. I have to go somewhere and cry.
On the off chance that this does NOT refer to me, I’d like to take this opportunity to reiterate that my coinage of the America-hating fuckstick is in the public domain.
It’d be hilarious if he pardons her and she spills everything she knows anyway.
The local PBS station has been including statements in their usual donation requests about the possibility of loss of funding. They don’t specifically refer to Federal policies, but the implication is clear.
Republicans consider that bill Big and Beautiful.
Instead of crying, or after, be sure to tell your local Republican to go fuck himself.
Think of all the billionaires who could make NPR and PBS whole for 10 years by writing a check. Sure would be nice if the thought had occurred to any of them.

One of two things is bound to happen soon: Maxwell will either receive a full pardon from the orange shitstain, or she will “commit suicide” in her cell.
How about shot while trying to escape?
Yeah, controlling the information is kind of tied to the information not getting out first.
But then again, Trump is a fucking moron.
I just posted Corporation for Public Broadcasting to shut down following Trump budget cuts ~ share your memories! over in Politics & Elections. I’ve asked

The felon really doesn’t like following the law.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday called for the Federal Reserve’s board of governors to usurp the power of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, criticizing the head of the U.S. central bank for not cutting short-term interest rates.
Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump called Powell “stubborn." The Fed chair has been subjected to vicious verbal attacks by the Republican president over several months.
The Fed has the responsibility of stabilizing prices and maximizing employment. Powell has held its benchmark rate for overnight loans constant this year, saying that Fed officials needed to see what impact Trump’s massive tariffs had on inflation.
If Powell doesn’t “substantially” lower rates, Trump posted, “THE BOARD SHOULD ASSUME CONTROL, AND DO WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE!”
I am seeing evolution happen in real time! Some Republican senators are becoming vertebrates.
Some Republican senators have expressed concern about President Donald Trump’s decision Friday to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hours after the release of the July jobs report.
Several Republicans told NBC News that they would take issue with the firing of Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the BLS, if it is the result of Trump disliking the jobs report numbers, which showed the U.S. job market in the past months has been considerably weaker than previously thought.
Trump defended his decision Friday, saying without evidence that the report’s numbers were “phony” and accused McEntarfer of releasing favorable jobs numbers before the election to give former Vice President Kamala Harris an edge.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wy., said if the data is untrustworthy, the public should find out, but firing the commissioner before knowing whether the numbers are inaccurate is “kind of impetuous.”
“If the president is firing the statistician because he doesn’t like the numbers but they are accurate, then that’s a problem,” Lummis said. “It’s not the statistician’s fault if the numbers are accurate and that they’re not what the president had hoped for.”
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., blasted Trump’s decision to fire McEntarfer as well.
“If she was just fired because the president or whoever decided to fire the director just did it because they didn’t like the numbers, they ought to grow up,” Tillis said.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who found out about the commissioner’s firing from NBC News’ question to him about it, said he did not know much about the topic but proceeded to question whether the move would be effective in improving the numbers.
“We have to look somewhere for objective statistics. When the people providing the statistics are fired, it makes it much harder to make judgments that you know, the statistics won’t be politicized,” Paul said.
But of course what they are talking about is the inevitable result of supporting a known fraud, a convicted fraud. Why wouldn’t he fire someone who pulls the curtain back?
Linda McMahon shows why Delusional Don selected her. She’s delusional too.
Despite Democrats protesting President Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said returning education to the states is a “nonpartisan issue.”
“I’m not getting push back, because if it were just Democrat states or Republican states that were doing well or doing poorly, that would be one thing, but it’s many of the states on both sides of the aisle. That’s why this is really a nonpartisan issue,” McMahon explained in an exclusive interview at the National Governors Association (NGA) summer meeting.
The Education Secretary participated in discussions with governors from both parties at the Colorado Springs, Colo., meeting, and her department announced the release of roughly $6.8 billion in previously frozen federal funds for K-12 programs ahead of her panel discussion with the outgoing NGA chair, Gov. Jared Polis, D-Colo.
She’s gloating over releasing funds she illegally froze? And this next bit is a doozy.
“It’s just incredibly important that if we are going to return education to the states, we have to talk to the governors,” McMahon emphasized. “What’s meaningful to them? How can we work together? This is both sides of the aisle because, clearly, education is a nonpartisan issue.”
If your department goes away, if the federal government no longer has an education department, Linda, just who the fuck do you think the state departments of education will be “working together with,” you fucking living brain donor surplus human?
If I were a betting person, I would clean up on guessing who wrote this excuse for the Smithsonian.
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., has removed references to President Donald Trump in a display about impeachments, despite Trump being the first and only president in American history to be impeached twice. But the museum says the move is temporary.
The Washington Post first reported the change on Thursday, July 31. On Friday, Aug. 1, the Smithsonian clarified the museum’s removal. Here’s what we know.
The “impeachment” display is housed within the larger, permanent gallery called “The American Presidency,” which opened in 2000, according to an emailed statement from the Smithsonian. It features information and artifacts about Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon, according to the display’s companion website. Nixon resigned before he could be formally impeached.
In September 2021, a “temporary label on content concerning the impeachments of Donald J. Trump” was added, according to the Smithsonian’s statement. “It was intended to be a short-term measure to address current events at the time, however, the label remained in place until July 2025.”
The display has since been returned to how it appeared nearly 20 years ago, according to the Smithsonian statement and the Washington Post’s report, which also noted that the exhibit now says, “only three presidents have seriously faced removal,” omitting Trump.
“In reviewing our legacy content recently, it became clear that the ‘Limits of Presidential Power’ section in ‘The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden’ exhibition needed to be addressed," the museum’s statement said. “Because the other topics in this section had not been updated since 2008, the decision was made to restore the ‘Impeachment’ case back to its 2008 appearance.”
Like there’s any doubt. Oh, and LAME!
What we have here is American justice with North Korean characteristics
FIRST ON FOX: A House lawmaker is making a push to hold mayors of sanctuary cities responsible for illegal immigrants committing murder within their jurisdictions.
Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is introducing the Establishing Responsibility for Illegals’ Crimes and Adding Deterrence and Accountability for Mayors’ Sanctuary Cities Act, or the ERIC ADAMS Act, on Friday.
If passed, the bill would open sanctuary city mayors to criminal liability if illegal immigrants living there were found guilty of murder.
If passed, the bill will be (at least it should be) fast-tracked to the Supreme Court because it’s blindingly unconstitutional.
The “Screw the Constitutional Amendments” bill is not holding up well. Heheheheh. (The bolding is mine, as is the glee.)
A federal appeals court appeared ready on Friday to become the second such court in the country to rule that President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship is unlawful.
A three-judge panel of the Boston-based First US Circuit Court of Appeals spent two hours looking skeptically at Trump’s Day One order in a series of cases in which lower courts said the policy violated the Constitution, decades-old Supreme Court precedent and federal law.
“We have an opinion of the Supreme Court that we aren’t free to disregard,” Chief Judge David Barron said at one point, referring to an 1898 Supreme Court case known as United States v. Wong Kim Ark that affirmed the idea that most people born on American soil are entitled to citizenship.
Rats eat each other’s faces, don’t they? (The bolding is mine.)
Sen. Josh Hawley is explaining why President Donald Trump went nuclear and attacked him for his bill that would ban elected officials from trading stocks.
On Wednesday, Trump attacked Hawley, a Republican ally from Missouri, calling him a “second-tier” senator after the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee passed his legislation to ban members of Congress and other federal elected officials as well as their spouses from trading stocks.
**Hawley spoke to Business Insider’s Bryan Metzger and The New York Sun’s Matt Rice and said that other Republican senators told Trump that the president would need to sell his Mar-a-Lago property under the legislation.
“What he said is that he had a number of people call him and say that the bill had been changed at the last minute to force him to sell Mar-a-Lago and his assets, which is, of course, totally false,” Hawley said, adding: “It exempts them.”
This shows two things about the felon’s shallow character: (1) he’s 100% selfish, and (2) he believes whatever the last person talking to him says provided that person is not on his enemies list.
This is the best evidence so far the felon is naught but a crook.
The Trump administration claimed this week that thousands of documents relating to the 2016 investigation into the president’s ties to Russia were found in “burn bags” at the CIA. However, when Trump himself was asked about them, he had no idea what one reporter was talking about. And that, according to Seth Meyers, just proves “how confusing” Trump’s “bulls–t conspiracy theories” are.
During a press briefing at The White House on Wednesday, a journalist simply asked for Trump’s thoughts on the “burn bags” FBI director Kash Patel says he found, but the president was visibly confused at the question.
“I don’t know that,” Trump replied. “I don’t know, I don’t know what you mean by that statement.”
When the reporter clarified that it literally meant bags of documents, Trump said he thought she meant that Patel “appointed a man named Burn Bag.” Naturally, Meyers cringed at that.
“Oh, dude, don’t admit that,” the comedian said. “Just say, ‘I couldn’t hear you.’ Don’t tell the world you are off by a country mile.”
It also shows him to be an absolute moron. He actually believes there’s someone really named Burn Bags! Have it; see if you can make a parody routine of Who’s on First? Granted the entire clusterfuck is a parody, but I think you get my drift (as opposed to the felon getting his grift).
Not all the Republican Senators are evolving.
Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday rejected what they described as a “poison pill” amendment that Democrats say is intended to block President Trump from taking the Qatari luxury jet that the Pentagon intends to use as Air Force One with him after his presidency.
The committee voted 15-14 against adopting the amendment during consideration of the annual defense funding bill.
The amendment offered by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a senior appropriator, sought to block funds from being used in a manner that would enable transfer of “a presidential air transport aircraft that has been under foreign registry to a nongovernmental entity until the aircraft has served as a presidential air transport aircraft through the end of its service life.”
And more background on the bribe gift (same link):
“This is an extraordinary amount of money to be used on a plane retrofit that will likely only be in service for a short period of time. Well, the administration has essentially refused to brief us on the full cost,” he said. “Reports are that this number could be easily $1 billion.”
“To most Americans, that’s a lot of their money to be spent on a plane that is not going to be in the service of the United States military, in the United States Air Force, for perhaps any longer than a few months, because the president has, in fact, stated his intention to take this plane with him when he leaves office.”
The most powerful man in the world just scrapped presidential term limits.
El Salvador’s congress has approved constitutional reforms to abolish presidential term limits, allowing President Nayib Bukele to run an unlimited number of times.
The reform, reviewed under an expedited procedure, will also extend term times to from five to six years, while the next election will be brought forward to 2027.
Mr Bukele, who has been president of the Central American nation since 2019, is a polarising figure. His major crackdown on crime has proved popular among voters, but human rights groups say thousands have been arbitrarily arrested.
“Today, democracy has died in El Salvador,” said Marcela Villatoro, an MP with the opposition Republican National Alliance (Arena).
You already know our very own Bukele is rubbing his tiny hands in glee over this and thinking about how to do it himself.
Guess what happened on TACO Thursday.
Donald Trump’s pausing of higher import taxes on a wide range of Mexican products a day before they were set to start saw the president relentlessly mocked on social media with the now-familiar “TACO” taunt.
The nickname TACO, short for “Trump Always Chickens Out,” stems from the president’s habit of making tariff threats, resulting in a drop in the markets, only for him to change course and see the markets rebound.
Trump announced the move in a Truth Social post following a phone call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Thursday, hours before the supposedly firm Aug. 1 deadline for his global trade tariffs being put into place.
He said the conversation had been “very successful in that, more and more, we are getting to know and understand each other” and suggested that the American trade relationship with Mexico is different from other countries because of the complexity of the border situation.
“We have agreed to extend, for a 90 Day period, the exact same Deal as we had for the last short period of time, namely, that Mexico will continue to pay a 25% Fentanyl Tariff, 25% Tariff on Cars, and 50% Tariff on Steel, Aluminum, and Copper,” he added.
The reaction from some of Trump’s most fervent critics was swift, predictable, and Mexican food-themed, invoking the TACO nickname investors have bestowed on the president for his economic flip-flopping.

And it’s big angry cartoon clowns blowing that cause wind, right? (The bolding is mine.)
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum thinks that solar energy is a bad idea because sometimes it’s night.
During an appearance on Fox Business Thursday morning, Burgum showcased his dim understanding about wind and solar energy while railing against green energy subsidies.
“We’ve had times where, in the last couple of days, in spite of the hundreds of billions of dollars this country has spent on wind, we only had like 1 percent, or 2 percent of electricity being generated by wind,” Burgum said. “And of course, when the sun goes down, you have a catastrophic failure called sunset and there’s no solar energy produced, and yet we’re subsidizing these things that are intermittent, unreliable, and expensive.”
It was Burgum’s easy dismissal of the earth’s primary energy source as “intermittent” or “unreliable” that rang particularly ridiculous, leading some online to question whether the failed presidential candidate had forgotten about the existence of batteries.
In North Dakota, where Burgum previously served as governor, renewable energy, including wind and solar, account for more than 40 percent of the state’s electricity, according to recent data from the Energy Information Administration.
Enviornmental Pollution Agency
The Trump administration is attempting to unmake virtually all climate US regulations in one fell swoop.
At an Indiana truck dealership on Tuesday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled a proposal to rescind the 16-year-old landmark legal finding which allows the agency to limit planet-heating pollution from cars and trucks, power plants and other industrial sources.
“The proposal would, if finalized, amount to the largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States,” said the EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin.
The agency’s primary argument for reversing the so-called “endangerment finding” claims the Clean Air Act gives the EPA the authority to regulate only emissions that locally threaten health. Department of Energy officials also laid out another justification for the move, which experts say relies heavily on climate denialism.
Once the proposal is published in the Federal Register, the EPA will open a public comment period. Once it finalizes the rule, it will face an array of legal challenges. But if the rollback prevails, it would leave the EPA without any authority to regulate greenhouse gas pollution amid ever-compounding evidence that a swift reduction in these emissions is needed to avert catastrophic global warming.
USNA to be turned into a joke.
The Navy may soon install a new educational review board aimed at restoring a “culture of discipline” at the U.S. Naval Academy and eliminating any diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-related initiatives.
According to a draft memo obtained by Fox News Digital, the board would be composed of “prominent leaders” from both the public and private sectors who are “committed to restoring the warrior ethos and bringing meritocracy and accountability back to Naval education.”
The draft, written on behalf of Secretary of the Navy John Phelan and addressed to Scott Duncan, acting Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, requests a list of potential candidates to serve on the board.
The proposed board would be tasked with “reinstating and encouraging a culture of discipline as a part of the warrior ethos” and reviewing curriculum content to ensure alignment with Department of Defense priorities. It would also be empowered to remove any material deemed “inappropriate for today’s warfighter progression.”
In addition to curriculum oversight, the memo calls for a major shift in the faculty structure. It proposes expanding the number of permanent military professors from 40 to at least 100, a move aimed at “addressing imbalances in civilian-dominated governance that weaken the Academy’s military mission.”
The complaint against civilian governance is quite problematic in this retired Sailor’s view.
Internee at Alligator Auschwitz on hunger strike.
A detainee at the Florida immigration detention center known as Alligator Alcatraz has been on hunger strike for at least nine days, the latest in a string of detainees to allege being mistreated at the prison in the Everglades.
“Since my life no longer belongs to me, it’s up to them to decide whether I live or die,” detainee Pedro Lorenzo Concepción, 44, told El País from inside the facility.
State officials run the Florida detention camp, housing migrants in a series of hastily assembled tents and chain link enclosures on a converted airstrip as they await federal immigration court and potential deportation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Independent has contacted the Florida Division of Emergency Management, one of the state agencies overseeing the facility, for comment.
Concepción, who came to the U.S. from Cuba in 2006 but lost his permanent resident status after going to prison, has been in detention since being arrested on July 8 after a check-in at a Florida Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, according to his family.
The Independent has contacted ICE for comment.
On July 22, he went on hunger strike and has collapsed multiple times inside Alligator Alcatraz. During the strike, he was taken to Miami’s Kendall Hospital, according to his family, where he said he sat in handcuffs as doctors tried to get him to eat, but he refused.
And finally, it turns out British humour isn’t all that hard to understand after all.
The Scottish government has green-lighted one of the world’s biggest wind farms, just days after President Donald Trump ranted about “windmills” while visiting the country.
The U.S. president was in Scotland to visit his golf courses in South Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire, the latter of which has a history with wind farms. While Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen was still being built, Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group also started constructing a row of wind turbines that impeded the view at his course.
That started a long obsession with the structures that he wrongly calls windmills. And despite his latest protestations in Scotland, the country’s government has now given the go-ahead to a mega wind farm, one of the world’s largest.
The Berwick Bank project, which would be positioned 23 miles off the east coast in the North Sea, will boast up to 307 of Trump’s big renewable enemies.
Donald Trump - “Display temporarily closed. Waiting for third impeachment”
Me - hahahahahah. There is not a spine anywhere in congress.
Just like he wanted to stop reporting on the deaths from COVID. He’s Sgt. Shultz. “I know NOTHING!” After all, If you don’t report it, it didn’t happen.
Pretty strong language! 
Hey, who you callin’ impetuous! 
Okay, the Republicans are officially out of control!
