UK 2, USA 0

The Trump "Just Us" Department is yet to follow Britain's lead and arrest important people as a result of investigations sparked by Jeffrey Epstein's millions of files.  

The Brits arrested Prince Andrew and Lord Mandelson for their unethical behavior around Jeffrey Epstein.  

Score is 2 for British law enforcement, 0 for Trump II's Just Us Department.  Optimizing the image of one leader over the needs of victims is a giant stain, one so large, even a giant banner cannot cover.

You could even say the U.S. has a negative 2 given Epstein attorney Darren Indyke and Epstein Accountant Richard Kahn settled their civil liability to victims through Jeffrey Epstein's estate.  

Getting Epstein's estate to pick up the tab for your personal transgressions?  That's so insider.....

Worst Moment of Worst Presidency

WSJ opined:

President Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology—to the individual Justices he smeared on Friday and the institution itself. Mr. Trump doubtless won’t offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency.

Trump II sees no equal branches of government.   Not Congress or the Supremes.

Earlier this week his White House highlighted the Gospels and Christ's teachings in their Ash Wednesday news release.  

Believing the Gospels and living them are two entirely different things.

Update 2-25-26:  Trump's State of the Union speech was record long.  It fulfilled its mission of being a vacuous cheer session for the Reds.  Congress supplicated at every turn to the fast and loose playing Chief Executive.  Boo says this independent voter.  It's the run-up to something, a financial crisis, a regional war....

Trump Omits Jesus Yet Again

Trump II followed his long tradition of speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast and never mentioning Jesus' name.  He acted like a prayer before a meal was a foreign practice.  "We're having lunch!"

In his first event (after winning the 2016 election) Trump I never said it.  

Does Trump go to the event to worship or be worshipped?  Might he be the deity in the room, at least in his mind?  

Lord, help us all.  Christ, help us all.  In Jesus name we pray.

Update 2-19-26:  The White House Ash Wednesday message mentioned Jesus and the Gospels.  One has to do more than believe in the Gospels.  They must be applied.  Trump trashes Christ's teachings most moments of every day.  For that he will atone.   

Trump Targets Fifteen States

Trump II is a serial trasher of the U.S. Constitution.  This time he's going after states rights for managing elections.  "Nationalizing elections" means more than 30% of states.

It comes after Red Team voters stayed home in droves in Fort Worth, Texas.  The Red Team would be wise to reign in their greatest detractor, as the public cringes under Trump's savage whims.  Turn off the camera, stick a sock in it, shut his pie-hole... do whatever you can to place ethical and decency boundaries around the man.  God knows, he has none.

This is the time the Reds and Blues traditionally walk back to the middle to appeal to a wider range of voters.  Very few people want to give Trump more power, much less send the message that they endorse what he is doing.  To most voters, that Red Team cubicle appears more like an unflushed gold toilet.

Trump is a destroyer. And only an ardent minority will continue to support him as his failures begin to bite more deeply into the day to day lives of the public.
