Trump Usurps July 4th

Didn't we already see one of those?  I'm not sure I'm up to another Middle Aged Wilding from Trump supporters, especially as that somehow turned from a series of obvious crimes to a compensable event.

There is nothing that Trump cannot usurp, inflame, engorge or debase in his life of ceaseless, senseless and barbaric accumulation.  

Trump 250, be there at the weigh in.

War, What is It Good For?

Trump II, the digital Caligula, is incapable of diplomatic progress with his reliance on his friend Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner as the U.S. negotiating team.  All three were at the Knicks-Spurs game in the NBA finals.  Trump II said after the game that a deal was close.  Then he said otherwise and attacked Iran again.  I believe this is the third time Trump II attacked Iran mid negotiation.  

I'm sure he stuck some kind of name in front of the latest phase of war of choice on Iran.  Let's call it what it really is, Trump's retaliatory impulse combined with greed and sheer fantasy.

War, what is it good for?  

Insider profits.

New Yorkers Boo Prodigious Liar: Unfavorite Son

Trump II, the digital Caligula, oversaw his liege at an NBA finals game at Madison Square Garden.:

On a night when he could’ve been dealing with far more pressing issues – soaring living costs, war with Iran, a global economy under strain – Trump flew to New York expressly to watch the Knicks play host to their first NBA finals game.

The common folks were not taken with Trump II given the rounds of boos he received.  

With Trump were family and White House staff (USA Today):

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, EP Administrator Lee Zeldin, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump. Also in the suite was Envoy Steve Witkoff, Director of White House Oval Office operations Walt Nauta, long-time Trump advisor Boris Epshteyn, and executive assistant to the president Natalie Harp. 

 CNN reported that his son-in-law Jared Kuschner was also in the suite.

Witkoff and Kushner enjoyed the game vs. negotiating a peace deal with Iran.   The pair served as decoys for Trump II's February attack on Iran in conjunction with Israel.

The Trump administration is pursuing a plan to “use Iranian assets to help U.S. Gulf allies recover from damage caused by Tehran’s regime during the Iran war.”

Did they come up with Trump's latest diplomatic insult within his ceaseless war?

The move to divert Iran’s frozen assets to other nations highlights the acute conflict of interest between Kushner’s dual role as a top negotiator for the Trump administration and the private equity manager of $6.2 billion in funds from foreign governments. Many of the potential top recipients of frozen Iranian assets — including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar — are also Kushner’s top investors at his private equity firm, Affinity Partners.

Apparently there are lots of funds in the federal government that Trump II can steer to family/friends.

As a White House special employee Jared has gotten a free pass on filing his financial disclosure form under his father-in-law.

As for the Madison Square Garden booing I expect Trump II to lie and retaliate in a significant way.  Those are his gut level reflexes of which he is most prodigious.

New York's unfavorite son returned and Trump II will soon deliver "a full load of me."   Time will reveal both the form and level of mendacity.  

Integration to Disintegrate

The two leaders who jacked up the Middle East plan to integrate their militaries. 

How did anyone think this was a good idea?  

In the picture Bibi's hand is indicating the rate of inflation, much higher.  Trump's face is telling us he hasn't a clue how to get out of the mess he and his little buddy created.  

Jesse noted:

... this sickened world and the shadow people therein, that search endlessly in their insatiable misery for souls to fill their emptiness, and to devour. 

 "Great God! Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?" Confederate General James Longstree

Because it serves the purposes of those empty and selfish creatures who have made themselves into beasts.

And for that our world and so many people suffer. 

Update 6-8-26:  Trump said he never promised "no new wars."  Au contraire:

In his 2024 victory speech, Trump stated: "I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars."

Digital Caligula Trump II Goes Old School.

The Trump II inner circle adulation train is so wound out it may soon careen off the tracks.  Treasury Chief Scott Bessent displayed a $250 bill with Trump II's scowl and helicopter hair.  He said there is "nothing untoward" about the bill even though producing it is currently against the law.  

White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller cited the "extraordinary paradise" Trump is creating which requires Miller and his wife to live on a military base for security purposes.   Miller's extraordinary paradise involves taxpayer subsidized housing.  I imagine Stephen gets the creep discount at the White House Snack Bar and free merchandise from the Trump's never ending promo closet.

Trump II is spending $5 million to paint four bronze horses near the Lincoln Memorial.  The color?  Gold.  What did our President see in Beijing with his TechGod/PEU coterie that he wants to imitate?  

For a digital guy, paper money is so yesterday.  I'm sure he can hawk a gold horse NFT for far less than $5 million in taxpayer funds.  

Trump's military forays across the globe are costing citizens dearly.  Currently, the price is economic.  However, if Trump II keeps playing with venomous snakes real strikes could occur.  

I pray for saner minds to prevail.  I also pray for the USA to have one.  Savage whims from an insatiable ego do not suffice.

You Say You Want a Retribution

The all seeing, all knowing wizard failed to change the channel from a program he disliked.  Thus, he was forced to view.  The richest men in the world could not solve the wizard's problem, even with all their technology.  So they bought the network and cancelled the show.

Tonight is it.  The wizard noted that he has something to say.  We will see if he interrupts the network telecast, buys an awful commercial or does something similarly intrusive and usurping,

Trump II can do nothing else.  Savage whims are his thing.  His impulses should be off the charts this evening.

Update:  The vortex that swallowed the show in tonight's episode was green, an interesting coincidence.  I have yet to look for Trump II's promised statement.  That will have to wait.  I am still enjoying Stephen Colbert's final show with Beatle Paul McCartney.  Godspeed Mr. Colbert and his newly unemployed staffers.

Update 5-22-26:  Trump opened his Truth Social pie-hole to celebrate his vortexing of Colbert.  His MAGA media bobble-heads did as the boss ordered and piled on.  

MAGA upchuck is just as green as Trump's evil vortex.  

Trump already lost to the Pope, who "no showed" Colbert on his final show (this was a joke).  And in the long run the Wizard of Odd will lose to Colbert.  It remains to be seen how.  The number of people with Trump Discernment Skills seems to be growing.

Mr. Colbert, you are missed already!  

Trump II Settles with Trump I

Trump II's "Just Us" Department announced a settlement of the President's case against the IRS for a contractor's releasing of his tax returns.  

Trump is both the aggrieved and the decision maker.  I find it odd that only the criminal cases the government had against him were dropped.  His cases against the government were not ceased or put in abeyance. 

Trump II pardoned all manner of financial fraudsters and Capital urinators/feces smearers.  Those compensated by his "Just Us" department do not have to pay restitution to their victims.  They can use it for a new burner phone, to pay their legal fees or for a weapon (the beauty of a federal pardon).

The fund will need to be managed.  Might Trump associated Dominari or Yorkville get the nod?  Will it be held in dollars or World Liberty stablecoins?  

Surely, they wish to grow the corpus.  Might Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners invest some of the funds?  I bet Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds are a hard sell for Jared at the moment.  

The Guardian reported on the fund itself:

“Once the funds are deposited into the Designated Account, the United States has no liability whatsoever for the protection or safeguarding of those funds, regardless of bank failure, fraudulent transfers, or any other fraud or misuse of the funds,” according to a memo from Todd Blanche, the acting US attorney general.

That statement is darkly comedic given a Trump pardoned fraudster could fraudulently apply for and possibly fraudulently receive funds from the $1.7 billion fund.  I see no audits in this fund's future.

Thank heaven Trump II settled with Trump I in an arm-arm-arm-arm's totaling agreement.  Ethically, it's a four arm fire.  But what do you expect from Trump?  The guy defecates on everything, endlessly.  

Update 5-21-26:  The "Just Us" Department threw in an IRS future investigatory waiver for Trump and his family.  Did Alex Acosta advise Trump II/Trump I and Todd Blanche on this?  It has an Epstein sweetheart deal aspect to it.

"Just Us" should be embarrassed it used 1776 in the settlement amount given that was the Jan. 6th rioters rallying cry.
