a little bit from trumpies latest presser..

what a tool


COLLINS: Did you approve of the pause of weapons shipments to Ukraine?
TRUMP: We want to put defensive weapons because Putin is not treating human beings right
COLLINS: So who ordered the pause?
TRUMP: I don't know. Why don't you tell me?

Ohhh it’s better. So he was pushed on his response today


Reporter: Sir, yesterday you said you were not sure who ordered the munitions halted to Ukraine—have you since been able to figure that out?”

Trump. Well I haven’t thought about it,” “Because we’re looking at Ukraine right now and munitions. But no, I have not gone into it.”

Reporter. What does it say that such a big decision could be made inside your government without you knowing?”

Trump. “I would know. If a decision is made, I will know. I would be the first to know,”



can you just know what Fox News would do if a democrat said this

Fucking idiot

Speaking of second term results...
Trump has rendered FEMA paralyzed and begging to act. You hear that Republicans, you did this.
No search and rescue until a freaking White House level secretary personally signs off after sipping lattes and cleaning up after playing border patrol cosplay on the weekend.

FEMA’s response to Texas flood slowed by Noem’s cost controls​


As CNN has previously reported, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — whose department oversees FEMA — recently enacted a sweeping rule aimed at cutting spending: Every contract and grant over $100,000 now requires her personal sign-off before any funds can be released.​
...​
In the past, FEMA would have swiftly staged these teams, which are specifically trained for situations including catastrophic floods, closer to a disaster zone in anticipation of urgent requests, multiple agency sources told CNN.​
​
But even as Texas rescue crews raced to save lives, FEMA officials realized they needed Noem’s approval before sending those additional assets. Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.​

The Senate has passed a bill making Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) the United States' largest interior law enforcement agency, with funding for Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agenda higher than most of the world's militaries, including Israel's.

Speaking of immigration, many of the reality deniers here personally insulted me when I pointed out that the democratic party allowed problem of illegal immigration to reach a critical mass during the Biden term. Heres a prominent democrat admitting the obvious.

I just cant understand the mentality of those that just cant fathom not sucking off the party of their choosing, regardless of what they do. MAGATs do it with Trump, delusional dems do it with Biden. Disgusting.

The only border crisis is that Congress just flooded the American gestapo with tens of billions to spend on attacking Americans. Why do you so hate America that you support its destruction?

That fucking cosplaying wise and beautiful woman had the nerve to put out that bullshit. I think I hate her even more than Trump if that's possible. (Let's see if the filter is still engaged).

Yep. Filter still engaged.

My hunch is that the order came from the top.

But Diaper Donny is so fucking stupid that it wouldn't surprise us if Hegseth simply did what he thinks his boss wants.

Donny likes to talk this big game about being frustrated at Russia, but all of his actions dating back 8 years suggest he's highly compromised by Daddy Vladdy.

Some senior officials who have taken the test have been asked whether they said anything negative about the F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, in a highly unusual use of the tool.

We are in the stupidest timeline.

Trump names self-proclaimed ‘alpha male’ influencer to ambassador post​

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he intends to nominate Nick Adams, a former Australian politician and controversial MAGA influencer, to serve as the next U.S. ambassador to Malaysia.

“Nick is an incredible Patriot and very successful entrepreneur, whose love of, and devotion to, our Great Country is an inspiration,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Nick is a bestselling author, speaker, and commentator. Nick graduated from the University of Sydney and, since then, has made it his life’s mission to extol the Virtues of American Greatness. Congratulations Nick!”

Adams, a naturalized U.S. citizen, thanked Trump for the nomination in a lengthy Substack post.

“Thank you, President Trump, for this great honor. I promise that I will never let you down. You are not only my favorite President, you are my favorite person,” Adams wrote. “Your loyalty, honesty, intelligence, and patriotism set a tremendous example of American excellence for our fellow citizens and for friends of America throughout the world.”

The self-proclaimed “alpha male” was a Trump campaign surrogate last year. He’s the president and CEO of the Foundation for Liberty & American Greatness, a nonprofit organization which says it’s “dedicated to educating Americans about the values and principles that make our nation exceptional.”

The name seems vaguely familiar, I seem to recall him coming across as so profoundly stupid as to make me think it must be satire? Let me check...

Who is Nick Adams? From a Sydney council to Trump’s plum pick, the Hooters fan could be next US ambassador to Malaysia

The Australia-born former Young Liberal and deputy mayor on Ashfield council has made a name for himself as a self-proclaimed ‘alpha male’, and now possible diplomat. How did this happen?
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Only thing I have to say about this is that on first scan-reading, I misread

One of his most-quoted tweets includes the memorable lines:

“I go to Hooters. I eat rare steaks. I lift extremely heavy weights. I read the Bible every night. I am pursued by copious amounts of women.”

As
“I go to Hooters. I eat rare steaks. I lift extremely heavy women....”


And, yeah, I dimly recall seeing his tweets and just assuming it was a parody comedy thing.

[It still might be - maybe the US is appointing fictional comedic characters to ambassadorships now? Anything's possible in the Trump era - maybe Ron Burgundy as ambassador to France, next? Doctor Evil as National Security Advisor?]

If trump can find a more unqualified loony for a position where he has already chosen someone he will certainly pick that new person.
