Trump's Second Term

As of this morning, Friday, May 1st, 2026, local gas is now $4.90, ten cents shy of my above 'prediction', but the weekend is only starting.
I do wish the media would stop sugar coating the reports by saying it's 'the highest it's been in four years', that's not true, it's the highest it's ever been, easily eclipsing any previous records by at least fifty cents.
Took a few days longer than I expected, but as of today, May 6th, 2026, we've reached $5 a gallon.
 
Not a cult

Rep. Wesley Hunt: "Despite the fact that his life is in danger, he still gets up, goes to the White House lawn, and teaches kids how to do the Trump dance. This guy is a machine. This is our guy. We must follow suit or we're gonna lose our country."

Daft I know but, I'm glad he's one of the good guys.

Pardon me??? You are talking about what ?

The Justice Department will ask the Supreme Court to allow it to step in on President Donald Trump’s appeal of the $83.3 million jury verdict in a defamation lawsuit brought by the writer E. Jean Carroll — a move that would doom Carroll’s case.

In a Tuesday filing, Assistant U.S. Attorney General Brett Shumate said the government would seek to use the Westfall Act to swap Trump for the U.S. as the defendant in the lawsuit. That would require dismissal of the case becau
The act gives federal employees immunity from some civil damages when they are found to have been acting within the scope of their employment. While Trump was president when he made the comments at issue in Carroll’s lawsuit, it would be highly unusual for the government to intervene on the president’s behalf at this stage, post trial and verdict.




The Justice Department’s filing comes as Trump is seeking to avoid paying the judgment while the Supreme Court decides whether to review the case — an effort in which he is virtually certain to succeed because Carroll doesn’t oppose the pause in payment as long as he increases the bond to account for interest. Last week, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump’s request to reconsider a panel’s ruling upholding the defamation verdict.

Trump has also asked the Supreme Court to overturn the $5 million judgment Carroll won after a jury found he sexually abused and defamed her.
se the federal government can’t be sued for defamation. A panel of appeals court judges previously denied the U.S.’s effort to insert itself as the defendant.
 
Trump: They have spell correct and word correct on these crazy machines that we use to put out truths or they used to be called tweets and every time I wrote Melania, it would correct to Melody. I didn’t know about that feature. You know who corrected it? The military.

They bombed his phone into submission. It was the greatest, most magnificent military operation of all time.

For more than a decade he's been tweeting and truthing <gag> like a mad eejit and it's only now that he's discovered autocorrect and he doesn't know how to use it.
 
In case I'm missing some nuance here, am I right in thinking the Justice Department is trying to argue that when Trump raped Carroll in the '90s, and when he lied that she was lying about it in 2019, he was doing it as part of his job as president so actually she was suing the US?

What an embarrassing time to be a US public official. Having orders to debase your office to try to cover up for this sleazebag must be the lowest point of a whole lot of careers in public service.
