Demigod Kim The felon to attend North Korea’s gathering of generals.

Donald Trump will attend a speech given by his Secretary of “War” Pete Hegseth this week to the nation’s top brass, who are flying in from all over the world to hear the former Fox host talk critically about the military’s mentality.

The Washington Post reported that a White House planning document was issued Saturday advising officials of the president’s updated schedule, which will now include an excursion to Quantico for Hegseth’s address.

Seriously, this is some North Korea level nonsense. I get that the entire sphincter of asskissers adore dictatorship, but let’s be somewhat practical here. The US’s flag officers are spread out quite a bit more than the felon’s loverboy’s are.

Speaking of North Korea level nonsense…

FBI Director Kash Patel is warning Americans against romanticizing the late Assata Shakur, 2Pac’s godmother, by calling her a “terrorist” whose death should not be mourned.

In a fiery post on X Sunday morning, Patel referred to Shakur by her birth name, Joanne Chesimard, and rejected any suggestion that she was a freedom fighter. He suggested that she be remembered as the FBI has long categorized her: a convicted cop killer who didn’t fight for justice.

“She murdered New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in cold blood, then fled to Cuba to escape accountability. The FBI never stopped calling her what she was: a terrorist,” Patel wrote. “Mourning her is spitting on the badge and the blood of every cop who gave their life in service.”

Your fucking boss spit on the badge when he pardoned en masse the traitors who tried to overthrow our government on January 6, 2021. Also, it’s not up to you to decide whom people will mourn nor how. It’s certainly not up to you to decide who’s worthy of being someone’s hero. Just fucking look at whom you idolize, for fuck’s sake.

The felon’s stand-in thinks he can tell Putin what to do.

Vice President JD Vance says Russia needs to “wake up” and come to the negotiating table with Ukraine, echoing President Donald Trump’s shift in tone on the full-scale war.

Vance’s Sept. 28 comments came after Trump claimed Ukraine “is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form,” marking a step away from the Republican administration’s previous assertions that Ukraine would likely lose some territory in the U.S. effort to broker an end to the more than three-year-long war.

“The Russians have got to wake up and accept reality here,” Vance told Fox News Sunday. “A lot of people are dying. They don’t have a lot to show for it.”

You and the felon are the last two fuckers on the planet, if not the entire universe, to tell someone to accept reality.

The felon talks about himself as though he’s a different person while touting another braindead “idea”.

President Donald Trump announced the creation of a new “Board of Peace” on Monday, to be “headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump.”

During a press conference announcing his peace plan for Israel and Gaza, the president said:

To ensure the success of this effort, my plan calls for the creation of a new international oversight body. The Board of Peace, we call it. The Board of Peace. Sort of a beautiful name. The Board of Peace which will be headed– not at my request, believe me. I’m very busy, but we have to make sure this works. The leaders of the Arab world, Israel, and everybody involved asked me to do this, so it’ll be headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J. Trump of the United States. That’s what I want, is some extra work to do, but it’s so important that I’m willing to do it, and we’ll do it right, and we’re gonna put leaders from other countries on, leaders that are very distinguished leaders, and we’ll have a board.

He continued, “And one of the people that wants to be on the board is the UK former prime minister Tony Blair – good man, very good man – and some others, and they’ll be named over the next few days, and it’ll be quite the board.”

Yeah., it’ll be quite the board. It’ll be board where a board oughta be board.

And “Board of Peace”? What the everloving fuck? Let me guess. One of its first official and public duties is to present to his favorite president a peace prize.

100,000 federal workers walk off the job.

More than 100,000 federal workers are to formally resign on Tuesday, the largest such mass event in US history, as part of a Trump administration program designed to make sweeping cuts to the federal workforce.

With Congress facing a deadline of Tuesday to authorize more funding or spark a government shutdown, the White House has also ordered federal agencies to draw up plans for large-scale firings of workers if the partisan fight fails to yield a deal.

Workers preparing to leave the government have described how months of “fear and intimidation” left them feeling like they had no choice but to depart.

“Federal workers stay for the mission. When that mission is taken away, when they’re scapegoated, when their job security is uncertain, and when their tiny semblance of work-life balance is stripped away, they leave,” a longtime employee at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) told the Guardian. “That’s why I left.”

Good job, felon, chasing away people who work for the American people, not at their expense like you.

Felon News Host Watters tries incitement and has to grovel.

Fox News host Jesse Watters reportedly apologized after calling for the United Nations’ New York City headquarters to be “bombed” or “gassed” for inconveniencing President Donald Trump during his recent U.N. visit.

U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said on Friday that Watters had privately apologized to U.N. global communications chief Melissa Fleming after the organization contacted Fox News with concerns about the violent remarks, Reuters reported.

“There is nothing funny or ironic in calling for the bombing, the gassing, the destruction of this building,” Dujarric told reporters, according to Reuters. “That kind of language is unacceptable.”

But relax, Jessee. You did it all for your idol. I’m sure he’ll remember this when you finally go too far even for FNN and they can your ass.

YouTube just caved to the felon.

YouTube agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit President Donald Trump brought against the Alphabet-owned online video platform over the suspension of his account following the deadly Jan. 6 riots in 2021.

YouTube suspended Trump’s official channel on Jan. 12, 2021, six days after the riots, from uploading new content at the time, citing the potential for violence. The settlement was filed in federal court in Oakland, California, on Sept. 29.

In the weeks after the riots, when a mob of the former president’s supporters attempted to disrupt Congress’s certification of the 2020 presidential election of Joe Biden, Trump was banned from a series of social media and video platforms, including YouTube, X, formerly known as Twitter, and Facebook.

&

Under the terms of the settlement with YouTube, $22 million will be paid on Trump’s behalf to the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the construction of a $200 million ballroom that Trump is building at the White House.

Anyone know of a great alternative to that particular video service? I don’t want to assist the felon in further desecrating the Goldplated White House.

At least the felon’s been told by a judge he cannot fire hundreds of VOA employeesat the moment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge agreed Monday to temporarily suspend the Trump administration’s plan to eliminate hundreds of jobs at the agency that oversees Voice of America, the government-funded broadcaster founded to counter Nazi propaganda during World War II.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington, D.C., ruled that the U.S. Agency for Global Media cannot implement a reduction in force eliminating 532 jobs for full-time government employees on Tuesday. Those employees represent the vast majority of its remaining staff.

The article should have said the pitiful few remaining staff.

Yet another deal not made by the felon.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump and Democrats emerged from a private White House meeting on Sept. 29 without an agreement to keep the federal government open, setting up the prospects of a wide-scale shutdown in major services beginning in about 30 hours.

After sitting down at the White House, the president and the four top congressional leaders failed to strike a deal. If funding expires at midnight on Oct. 1 – which appeared likely absent any unexpected breakthrough – a shutdown will start at 12:01 a.m.

“There was a frank and direct discussion with the president of the United States and Republican leaders,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters after the meeting with the president. But he added that “significant and meaningful differences remain.”

The leaders of the two parties are standing their ground, with Republicans pushing a stopgap solution that would extend current funding levels until Nov. 21 and Democrats fighting for changes, mostly related to health care access and subsidies, as part of any deal.

As apocalyptically inept as they’ve been at understanding and managing the economy, I suppose it shouldn’t come as any surprise that they’re so hilariously incompetent they’ll also allow journalists to take pictures of their private device messages in public.

Argentina uses deal to drop export tariffs on soybeans

That’s incorrect, the dropping of export tariffs was driven by the need of fresh dollars to sell to defend the overvalued Peso that’s killing our industry and exports.
Once they had the U.S. dollars (or promises of the same) (and once their friends in the big cereal conglomerates had made a killing) the administration quickly restored the export tariffs.

Board of Peace? Department of War? MAKE UP YOUR MIND! I suspect he misspelled that. It should be Bored of Peace.

Likely. But also I suspect it will end up being well-placed to make “deals” on the disposition of beachfront property in Gaza.

The WH social media team are a profoundly petty lot. AI Schumer dissing the Democrats is stupid enough, but putting Jeffries in a sombrero and with added mustache is just batshittedly puerile.

@Gyrate

The WH social media team are a profoundly petty lot.

I’ve said on many occasions that I think they:

• Identified their likely supporters
• Did a deep psychographic dive in order to determine how best to attract and appeal to them
• Crafted a message that had a high likelihood of success, and then
• Plumbed the Stygian depths in order to find the kind of evil phuques who excel at crafting and delivering those messages

TL:DR: As always, it’s a feature, not a bug

[And that was the ‘marketing’ or ‘campaign’ arm that I’m talking about. Behind the scenes were the product people: the tech bros, the Christian Nationalists, and the Project 2025 ‘people --’ much overlap existing between the circles]
