Trump's Second Term

They could just release the Venezuelan government funds seized, allow access to IMF funds. Then there is the $100,000,000 of Venezuelan gold transferred to a Us company, $billions in oil .

The U.S. Took Over Venezuela’s Oil Industry. Where Has All the Money Gone? | Council on Foreign Relations

The American and Venezuelan people remain in the dark about how the Trump administration is controlling billions of dollars of Venezuelan oil revenue. Without accountability mechanisms or a clear democratic roadmap, the United States risks entrenching a corrupt successor regime.

Is that in Venezuela or Washington?

Lets see. Back of a fag packet:

$750b ÷ 180 days since mid Jan 2026 = $4.167b daily income from oil.
$4.167b ÷ $85 (avg $/bbl in 2026) = Venezualan oil production of 49.02 million bpd.
Avg reported Venezualen daily oil production is 1.2 million bpd.

That's only a TACO exaggeration of 4085%.
That's pretty close to reality for the current US president.

ETA : adjusted production based on current reported bpd

Nice maths.
 
Hegseth is referring to this

Officials with the U.S. Navy's elite Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron said they're conducting a review after social media footage showed a jet flying low over a crowd of beachgoers in Pensacola Beach, Florida, on Wednesday morning.

"During an arrival maneuver, an aircraft flew lower than standard profiles, resulting in a disturbance on the beach that affected civilian chairs and umbrellas," the statement said, calling it a "low-altitude pass."

Inside Higher Ed reported, "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security scrapped a long-standing policy Thursday that allowed international students to stay in the U.S. until they finish their program of study. The new rule, which will be formally published Friday, will limit their stay in the U.S. to just four years unless they receive an extension, as well as limit students’ ability to change majors and institutions once in the country. International education leaders and experts have argued that four years is not enough time for a significant number of students to complete their degree; almost all Ph.D. programs are longer than four years, while the average undergraduate takes more than four years to complete their bachelor’s degree. Additionally, students pursuing optional practical training, the work authorization for F-1 students following their graduation, typically stay in the U.S. more than four years."

I hope that's true but I have my doubts. If they have any journalistic integrity, they wouldn't.

They don't.

But I hope they do broadcast it. As many people as possible need to see Grampa in his full dementia. Of the "major" networks, See BS (CBS) might, probably not the others.

If this idiot lies about this, he'll lie about anything.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s lining likely peeled away because the material was installed incorrectly, experts told The Washington Post, which sent reporters to the site as President Donald Trump has regularly raged about “vandalism” — including with a knife –damaging the iconic spot.

Instead of vandalism, the outlet found seven places where the lining peeled away along the seams — indicating errors in its application, according to experts who reviewed the findings.

The lining is a waterproof membrane painted onto the concrete basin, The Post reported, noting the peeling their reporters observed was in “irregularly shaped patches” which varied from a few inches to as long as six feet.
In one place in the reflecting pool, reporters could see the concrete below the lining, the paper said.

They used satellite images and photos and videos from before and after the renovation to help identify the problems and experts who examined the material said the peeling “strongly suggested errors in the application process,” according to the outlet.

The White House slammed the report, telling The Post, “There were no missteps during the initial repairs to the pool.”

“Unfortunately, deranged individuals made several gashes in the side of the pool and destroyed over 300 feet of the pool’s siding. Once the necessary repairs to fix the vandalism are complete, the Reflecting Pool will be restored to all its glory,” spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told the outlet.

Trump has insisted the reflecting pool was attacked by vandals. A renovation earlier this summer painted the bottom American Flag Blue, and costs swelled to $16 million.

On Monday, the president again discussed the pool, announcing on Truth Social it had been drained again “in order to fix the scars and damage that was done by the Vandals two weeks ago.”

“The slashes were 300 yards long, and the floor of the pool was cut and then pulled upward, with great force, by these thugs,” adding, “These Country hating sleazebags should pay a big price for the damage done.”

This maniac can't admit mistakes, failures and defeat. He's gonna lie his ass off tonight, and the simps in his corrupt administration will back up those lies. Also too, the cultists, Definitely Not Trumper Trumpers, I Got Miners, and Faux Edgelords will nod and applaud in agreement like trained seals.

My non-psychic predictions:
  • They do it wrong again.
  • It fails again.
  • Schitler and his gang again blame innocent people.
  • More people get arrested.
  • Nobody ever gets convicted by a jury of anything related to the pool.
Repeat ad nauseam.
