While visiting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung , Trump repeatedly praises North Korea's Kim Jong un. What idiotic meathead would do such a thing right then and there? It's like Trump is totally clueless about things like that because he's totally wrapped up in his own little universe where nothing matters in that moment except nurturing his own narcissist driven megalomania via bragging about his fictitious relationship with a like minded authoritarian. Did Trump actually think mentioning that to the SK POTUS would impress the guy? Fuuuuuck.

Can you just imagine what was going through Lee Jae Myung's mind as Trump was veering off and on again about his being such good friends with South Korea's most hated and dangerous adversary? A pitiful absence of situational awareness in an exceptionally deranged narcissist is not someone you'd choose to, shall we say, enhance and strengthen ties with our long time allies.

While I'm at it:https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/25/politics/trump-executive-order-national-guard-units-crime

So Trump EO'd this and the question being asked is if who is going to control this "Special Unit" when at the least it's a rhetorical one. It's Trump creating his own version of Hitler's RSHA:


The organization within Hitler's SS that primarily controlled the civilian population was the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA), which oversaw a wide network of agencies including the feared Gestapo.
RSHA: The centralized security command
In 1939, Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, consolidated Germany's security and police agencies into the RSHA, headed by Reinhard Heydrich. This centralized command brought all state and political policing under the total control of the SS, making them a "state within a state".
The RSHA included several key offices:
  • Gestapo (Secret State Police): This was the political police, tasked with monitoring the population for opposition to Nazi rule. Though it was a relatively small agency, the Gestapo was notoriously effective due to a vast network of civilian informants who reported on neighbors, colleagues, and family. The Gestapo operated outside the law, and its "preventive arrest" power meant it could imprison people in concentration camps without judicial oversight.
  • Sicherheitsdienst (SD): The internal and foreign intelligence service of the SS, the SD was responsible for gathering information on enemies of the Nazi regime and identifying those who posed a threat.
  • Kriminalpolizei (Kripo): The regular criminal police were merged into the RSHA, giving the SS control over all aspects of law enforcement.
Concentration camps and mobile killing squads
Other key SS subdivisions enforced control over civilian populations, particularly in occupied territories:
  • SS-Totenkopfverbände (Death's Head Units): These were the units responsible for running the concentration camp system. Under their brutal administration, political opponents, Jews, and other groups deemed "undesirable" were imprisoned, tortured, and murdered.
  • Einsatzgruppen (Mobile Killing Squads): Units of the Security Police and SD that operated in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, especially the Soviet Union. They systematically murdered Jews, Roma people, Communists, and other civilians, primarily through mass shootings.
How the SS maintained control
The SS established its authority over the civilian population through a combination of fear, surveillance, and violence.
  • Ruthless terror: The Gestapo's activities and the horrors of the concentration camps created a pervasive climate of fear that suppressed dissent.
  • Propaganda: The SS worked to enforce Nazi ideological standards through "racial purity" standards and the persecution of perceived racial enemies.
  • Unofficial policing: By exploiting denunciations from ordinary German citizens, the Gestapo created an environment of widespread mistrust and self-policing.

If it is not nuclear weapons, then SK just as cooked as yesterday's beef.

President Pot complains about Governor Kettle.



The man who constantly plays an invisible accordion (and who clearly takes most of his body language from his one-time pal Liberace) talks about someone else's "strange hand action"?

Trump sure has a way with words. He was speaking to reporters and said this:

Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."

I'm fairly sure that's not how it works Don. But seeing how nobody in power is doing anything to stop him he might actually be partially right. I mean if they let him do it, then I suppose it doesn't matter if he has the right to do it or not.

Democrats are, as I've read and heard about it, doing what they can considering they haven't got the numbers in the House and Senate to stop the Republican's push for creating a totalitarian gov't led by Trump. That said, the Republicans in the legislature have been press ganged into Trump's Nazified Confederation. They are rowing oars in Trump's galley under threat of being abandoned and replaced with senators and congress creeps that would gladly take to the oars in their place. Such are the lives of Trump's slave labor.

They have sworn loyalty, fealty and obeisance to Trump, never mind that many of them would stab him in the neck if they thought they could get away with it, seeing how Trump's behavior is quite obviously endangering these mongrels hold on their seats. Yet they remain quiet and humiliatingly obsequious, knowing Trump's demands for complete and utter subservience to him is final and unforgiving.

If you're voting in the Senate to approve Trump's picks, you are not doing everything you can.
