ROTFLMAO!!!

The Hunter  — BULLSHIT — He’s a 79 year-old buffoon wearing Depends underwear, facial makeup, and hair dye. A man who is a loser on every level: cognitively, morally, emotionally, and intellectually. He’s a total fucking loser.

In case you don’t understand the abbreviations:  SIT THE FUCK DOWN and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Dear Hunter Biden

The people who have made your father and every member of your family miserable are Donald Trump and his allies. Democrats are not your enemy.

You have at every turn in the past ten years, made your father’s task more difficult. You have allowed the enemy to use your shortcomings to cover their corruption which has allowed them, in times of their own peril, to change the subject.

As an admirer of your father for years, please accept my heartfelt advice: SIT THE FUCK DOWN and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Every time you feel the need to sit down for an interview and give us your sob story about ” oh poor poor pitiful me I was stoked up on drugs and acting like an asshole and taking dick picks . . . ”  your father’s enemies latch onto your every word and use it against your father.

JUST SIT THE FUCK DOWN, SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND

— MOST OF ALL —

GO THE FUCK AWAY.

On Friday, G. Elliott Morris of Strength in Numbers reported that “polls show Trump’s position plummeting.” On Friday morning, the average job approval rating for Trump was 42.6% with 53.5% disapproving.

Those numbers break down by policy like this: Gallup polls show that only 35% of Americans approve of Trump’s immigration policy with 62% opposed. A new poll out from CBS News/ YouGov today shows that support for Trump’s deportations has dropped ten points from the start of his term, from 59% to 49%. Fifty-eight percent of Americans oppose the administration’s use of detention facilities. The numbers in a CNN/SSRS poll released today are even more negative for the administration: 59% of Americans oppose deporting undocumented immigrants without a criminal record while only 23% support such deportations, and 57% are opposed to building new detention facilities while only 26% support such a plan.

American approval of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is unlikely to rise as news spreads that last Monday, the government gave ICE unprecedented access to the records of nearly 80 million people on Medicaid, allegedly to enable ICE to find undocumented immigrants. Kimberly Kindy and Amanda Seitz of the Associated Press reported that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security that enables ICE to access Medicaid recipients’ name, ethnicity and race, birthdate, home address, and social security number.

Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid, although they may use it in an emergency to cover lifesaving services in a hospital emergency room. The release of personal information from Medicaid lists is unprecedented. Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) warned: “The massive transfer of the personal data of millions of Medicaid recipients should alarm every American…. It will harm families across the nation and only cause more citizens to forego lifesaving access to health care.”

Trump’s tariffs are not popular. An Associated Press–NORC poll on Thursday found that 49% of Americans thought Trump’s policies have made them worse off while only 27% think his policies have helped.

And then there are the Epstein files.

A YouGov poll from Tuesday showed that 79% of Americans think the government should release all the documents it has about the Epstein case while only 4% think it should not. Those numbers included 85% of Democrats, but also 76% of Independents and 75% of Republicans. And that was BEFORE the publication of the Wall Street Journal article detailing the lewd and suggestive birthday letter Trump apparently contributed to Epstein’s fiftieth birthday album.

As Morris notes, Trump is underwater on all the issues of his presidency, but he is most dramatically underwater over Epstein.

You don’t need polls to see that Trump, at least, is panicking. He is throwing red meat to his base in what appears to be an attempt to regain control of the narrative. After his July 12 threat to strip comedian and talk show host Rosie O’Donnell of her citizenship (she was born in New York, and he does not have that power), he has kept up a stream of social media posts that seem designed to distract his wavering followers from the news around them.

On Wednesday, Trump announced on social media: “I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them—You’ll see. It’s just better!”

But Coca-Cola had apparently not gotten the memo. It uses cane sugar in a number of foreign markets but has used high-fructose corn syrup in U.S. products since 1985. On its website, it wrote: “We appreciate President Trump’s enthusiasm for our iconic Coca‑Cola brand. More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca‑Cola product range will be shared soon.”

Social media users posted memes of Coke bottles emblazoned with the words “Trump is on the List” and, in small letters below, “Now with cane sugar.”

On Thursday, after observers had noted both the president’s swollen ankles and what appeared to be makeup covering up something on his hand, the White House announced that Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that his physician described as a “benign” and common condition in which veins don’t move blood back to the heart efficiently.

Trump has never offered any information about his health, and his doctors have presented accounts of his physical exams that are hard to believe, making observers receive this announcement at this moment with skepticism. “Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition where the veins in the legs have difficulty drawing attention from the fact that the Epstein Files still haven’t been released,” one social media meme read.

Today, Trump posted on social media: “The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!”

Hours later, he posted that his post “has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way.” Then he threatened to block the deal to move the Commanders back to Washington, D.C., from a Maryland suburb unless they “change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins.’”

At the turn of the last century, those worried that industrialization was destroying masculinity encouraged sports to give men an arena for manly combat. Sports teams dominated by Euro-Americans often took names that invoked Indigenous Americans because those names seemed to them to harness the idea of “savagery” in the safe space of a playing field. By the end of the twentieth century, the majority of Americans had come to recognize the racism inherent in those names, and colleges started to retire Native American team names and mascots. In 2020 the Washington football team retired its former name, becoming the Commanders two years later. At about the same time, the Cleveland baseball team became the Cleveland Guardians in honor of the four pairs of art deco statues installed on the city’s Hope Memorial Bridge in 1932.

Trump’s attempt to control the narrative didn’t work. “The thing about the Redskins and Indians is that Donald Trump is on the Epstein list,” one social media user wrote. The post was representative of reactions to Trump’s post.

Today marked the end of the first six months of Trump’s second term, and he marked it with a flurry of social media posts praising his performance as “6 months of winning,” and attacking those he sees as his opponents. He again went after the Wall Street Journal, which ran the story about Epstein’s birthday album. He complained the paper had run a “typically untruthful story” when it said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had had to explain to Trump that firing Fed chair Jerome Powell would be bad for markets. Trump took exception to the idea he did not understand the interplay of the Fed and markets, despite his repeated threats against Powell.

“Nobody had to explain that to me,” he wrote. “I know better than anybody what’s good for the Market, and what’s good for the U.S.A. if it weren’t for me, the Market wouldn’t be at Record Highs right now, it probably would have CRASHED! So, get your information CORRECT. People don’t explain to me, I explain to them!”

Tonight, Trump’s social media posts seemed to project his own fears on Democrats he perceives as enemies. He once again claimed Senator Schiff, who managed one of the impeachment cases against Trump when he was a representative, had falsified loan documents in 2011 and should go to prison. In 2023, a judge determined that the Trump Organization had falsified loan documents. Trump posted: “Adam Schiff is a THIEF! He should be prosecuted, just like they tried to prosecute me, and everyone else—the only difference is, WE WERE TOTALLY INNOCENT, IT WAS ALL A GIANT HOAX!”

On Late Night with Stephen Colbert last night, Schiff said: “Donald, piss off…. But Donald, before you piss off, would you release the Epstein files?”

Trump also posted an image of intelligence agents and politicians in prison garb as if in mug shots, and reposted both an image of what appears to be lawmakers in handcuffs and an AI-generated video showing former president Barack Obama being arrested by FBI agents and then being held in a jail cell.

Meidas Touch posted: “The crazy thing about Donald Trump posting an AI video of Obama getting arrested is that Trump once had someone organize a party for him and invite a bunch of ‘young women’ and it turned out Jeffrey Epstein was his only other guest.” Alan Feuer and Matthew Goldstein broke the story of that party in Saturday’s New York Times.

Mark Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, is putting Trump intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard on blast after her office released a report claiming there is “overwhelming evidence” that Barack Obama laid the groundwork “for what was essentially a years-long coup” against Donald Trump.

“It seems DNI Gabbard is unaware that the years-long Russia investigation carried out by the Senate Intelligence Committee reaffirmed that ‘the Russian government directed extensive activity against U.S. election infrastructure’ ahead of the 2016 election, and that it ‘used social media to conduct an information warfare campaign’ in order to benefit Donald Trump. This conclusion was supported on a unanimous basis by every single Democrat and Republican on the committee,” Warner said.

Gabbard has been making the rounds on the fake-news networks for the past couple of days to make the case that Obama could face criminal charges for the “treasonous conspiracy” that she has created out of the thin air.

“We are referring all of our documents to the Department of Justice for the purpose of accountability and action,” Gabbard said in a TV hit with the no-pushback morning show “Fox & Friends” on Saturday. “No one, no matter who they are, no matter how high up they are or how powerful they may be, no matter the intelligence officials or professionals were who were a part of this treasonous conspiracy, there must be accountability.”

We all know what this is: Trump is facing intense criticism from within his own MAGA movement over the Epstein files, which Trump is trying to pass off as the handiwork of Obama, Joe Biden, James Comey, Inspector Gadget, 007, and Boris and Natasha.

Gabbard throwing out a “treasonous conspiracy” led by Obama is meant to give Fox News something to talk about to its 78-year-old viewers, since it can’t talk about the Epstein files, now that Trump is suing Rupert Murdoch.

“It is sadly not surprising that DNI Gabbard, who promised to depoliticize the intelligence community, is once again weaponizing her position to amplify the president’s election conspiracy theories,” Warner said.

That man should never ever again be believed or trusted, about child sexual abuse or anything else

Only a rich white man in America can…

…and be considered a good Christian by white evangelicals and elected president of the United States

Meanwhile, that president’s administration:

fired the federal prosecutor who handled the cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, from her position in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

intervened on the side of Catholic clergy in a case where a federal judge barred Washington state from enforcing a law that would have required priests to report evidence of child abuse learned during confession.

gutted the State Dept.’s ‘Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons,’ ]known as the TIP Office, literally and effectively killing its office which is combating human trafficking.

Trump also publicly defended sexual predators, including himself

Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery “Terrific guy,” Donald Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with.”

(Trump offered sympathetic words to Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime companion of Jeffrey Epstein who was convicted of facilitating the abuse of girls by the now-deceased sex offender. “I just wish her well, frankly,” Trump said when asked about Maxwell during a news conference.)

After repeatedly defending Joe Paterno, the former Penn State coach who covered up molestation of young boys in the locker room, Trump proposed at a campaign rally in Pittsburgh bringing back a statue of Paterno, which university officials removed from campus after the scandal. “How’s Joe Paterno? We’re gonna bring that back? Right? How about that whole deal?” the mogul told the crowd.

Trump defended Roger Ailes by insinuating Gretchen Carlson and 20 others were lying about their boss’s sexual harassment.

In 1992 when Trump was asked about his good friend Mike Tyson being convicted of raping Desiree Washington, Trump defended the boxer and maligned the rape victim. He in essence blamed Washington for being raped: “You have a young woman that was in his hotel room late in the evening at her own will.” And then Trump— even though Tyson had already been convicted by a jury—despicably questioned whether Washington was even raped, noting that a video after the incident showed her “dancing with a big smile on her face, looked happy as can be.” Trump then added, “It’s my opinion that to a large extent, Mike Tyson was railroaded in this case.”

A Tennessee woman is having to travel to Virginia for prenatal care because the DR in her area has denied her care on the grounds that she’s an unwed mother. Tennessee has passed a law to allow DRs to discriminate against anyone so long as DRs claim it’s about “religious beliefs.”

.

Am I right in remembering that Jesus was born to an “unwed mother?”

She wants to be Governor of Virginia.  She is now Lieutenant Governor.  She got into politics because her family business went under.  Maybe someone can tell me why she campaigns with a firearm.
