Trump's Second Term

I think it's something really embarrassing, though he seems to be difficult to embarrass. Maybe not criminal, but something a bridge too far.

Too bad we'll never know.
Why will we never know? We might be able to start chipping away in the off-year election and maybe a few of these GOP legislators will chicken out and stop kissing Trump's ass before the midterms..
 
Not a cult.

Rep. Maria Salazar: "There is no other president like Trump. I have faith that he could be for immigration what Lincoln was for slavery and Reagan was for communism. Just watch him."

I think it a bit excessive to equate Reagan with Lincoln, but in the popular mind they're both credited with ending something, and I'm sure Trump can join the procession for more than just immigration. He is, after all, doing a pretty good job on freedom, prosperity, health and democracy too.
 
"Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!" -Trump (in reference to MAGA supporters asking for release of Epstein files)

Anyone who still supports this pedophile is so profoundly brainwashed there can be no escape...

He is the naked singularity of Stupid. There is no escape!
 
Oh piss. I shouldn't be surprised. I thought he would eventually give up trying to get Powell to resign on his own. Asking the Cabinet, that's a joke. Of course they will say yes. Trump thinks that skinny little fig leaf will cover him? Maybe for the blinded MAGA cult but not for the rest of us.

I wonder if the other Fed members will stand up to the new sycophant. Not sure if they can or will but it would be nice.
 
Donald appointed Powell, not Biden.
Not one of them pointed it out to him

Reporter: Do you have plans or are you considering firing Powell? What is your justification?

Trump: I was surprised he was appointed— surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him. We’re not planning on doing anything

So I don't get what the supposed "hoax" is supposed to be in the Epstein case. It's a hoax that the files exist? Wtf was Bondi talking about with her hours of video or thousands of pages or whatever? Do they not understand words can be preserved, and checked against whatever it is you say later?

In whatever is released, redactions will probably outweigh actual text. It will be necessary to avoid protracted litigation no one wants. Even if you only took a ride on Epstein's plane, well, your career may well be over. That doesn't apply to Trump, of course ... unless his supporters tie together everything they KNOW about Trump and realize that even if he never took Epstein's (jail)bait, he is still an adjudicated sex abuser, self-admitted pussy grabber, and very "handsy" with his own daughter(s). (There is pretty remarkable footage showing Ivanka and possibly Tiffany taking evasive action ON THE STAGE as his hand slipped down to their butts or up to their chests as he embraced them. I think it was at a nominating convention but I'm not sure which one.) All the things he said about "dating" Ivanka and her being "a piece of ass." I wonder if all that will have any cumulative effect as it surfaces in the minds of the vast majority of his supporters, who have been suppressing that knowledge for years, or pretending hair-sniffing is somehow worse.

Oh, and walking into young women's dressing rooms because "I own the pageant, I can inspect anything." Oh, he was doing some inspecting, all right.

Back during Trump 1.0 when Mueller completed his report he found all sorts of evidence that Russia helped get Trump elected. But AG Barr didn't release the report right away, instead he covered up for Trump with one of those "nothing to see here" comments. By the time reporters actually had access to the full report, Trump had moved on with a gazillion distractions. Not many people paid the attention to it they should have.

More here.

Maurene Comey, the federal prosecutor who worked on both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal cases, was fired on Wednesday, multiple outlets reported.

The big picture: It was not immediately clear why Maurene Comey was dismissed from her job, but her firing is notable because she is the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, who was fired by President Trump during his first term.
 
Quite aside from the asinine stuff about wind power, why the hell is it some kind of dick-measuring contest for Trump whether the US generates more or less electricity than China (which has more than quadruple the population of the US)?
Because to Trump, absolutely everything has to be a transaction - one that he has to "win".
