Trump's Second Term

[shemp]

I've been watching an old TV series* from I think the last century, (they weren't very good at comedy back then), but it was surprisingly prescient (or things just haven't changed in US politics). One comment on someone going to be a white house political appointee was 'don't let them peer pressure you into declaring war on Iran', another was 'you're now rich enough to to be elected without pretending to be a fundamentalist'. There were also some comments about the POTUS not being very bright (Ford?).

It is quite sad to think that these things were recognised decades ago bot never addressed. The product placement was also very blatant.

That show ran from 2006-2013.

The party trying to pack the Supreme Court wants to lecture us on rule of law.

The party defending abortions for pregnant men wants to lecture us on science.

We’re not taking advice from a party this far gone.

I’m in Oklahoma right now and just saw this: nearly 10% of the HIV patients at OSU’s clinic are illegal aliens getting free treatment on the federal dime. Who’s paying for this? The same people shielding them from ICE feel great about it, but don’t lose any sleep spending our money on a net loss for the country. Maybe I should spread my wings and help a few of them self-deport.

Be a real shame if JB Pritzker were to answer The Chicago way as outlined by Jim Malone in The Untouchables.

I like dis one!

Given how erratic he's been on Truth Social lately (I mean more than usual), I wouldn't be that surprised if he reposted that.

Trump Exempted Some of the Nation’s Biggest Polluters From Air Quality Rules. All It Took Was an Email.

A Citgo Petroleum Corporation lawyer, Ann Al-Bahish, sought exemptions for petroleum refineries in Illinois, Louisiana and Texas, which had all been hit with Clean Air Act violations in recent years. The rule at issue, the agency had previously concluded, would “provide critical health protections to hundreds of thousands of people living near chemical plants.” (The company agreed to install new pollution controls to resolve some of its violations.)

Kevin Wagner, vice president of the medical sterilizer company Sterigenics, messaged asking that nine facilities emitting the carcinogenic gas ethylene oxide, including near Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Charlotte and Atlanta, be exempted. More than 45,000 people, most of them not white, live within a mile of these facilities, according to federal data.

Both companies got their response in July proclamations. Approved and approved.

The companies did not respond to ProPublica’s requests for comment.

In granting these requests, the White House didn’t seek input from EPA scientists. The administration cited authority under the Clean Air Act that had never before been used.

More approvals followed. All told, more than 180 facilities in 38 states and Puerto Rico have, by Trump’s unilateral decision, been given a two-year reprieve from following the latest Clean Air Act rules. About 250,000 people live within a mile of these facilities, according to EPA and U.S. Census Bureau data collected by the Environmental Defense Fund.

There's a lot more in the article that is of interest, but frankly, I'm just going to sum it up as the Trump Administration gave free rein to polluters to sicken and murder US citizens without repercussion for doing so. Likely all so the polluters can save a tiny fraction of the money that they're causing the public to pay as a consequence of their actions.

Staff blamed for trump napping

“I had this source who said, ‘You never wanna be on Air Force One on a trip.‘”

The result of the president’s sleepless nights is that he has been caught dozing during public appearances and official meetings with alarming frequency since returning to the White House.

These public naps reportedly cause the president’s aides significant anxiety, not least because he explodes at them after the fact.

“I mean, you can’t wake him up. Also, the cameras are running. Everybody is in a low-level panic now all of the time about Trump falling asleep because then he gets mad,” Trump biographer Michael Wolff said on the Inside Trump’s Head podcast. “He gets angry. He essentially blames the people around him for the fact that he fell asleep.”
