Why does the Maga elite love conspicuous cosmetic surgery? | Arwa Mahdawi

excerpt:

"An obsession with traditional gender norms also seems to factor into today’s exaggerated aesthetics. Earlier this year a New York-based dermatologist told Politico that fashion often shifts to more traditional gender expression in culturally conservative times. “It’s ironic … that they’re so against trans-ness and gender-affirming care for trans people,” the dermatologist said of Trump’s inner orbit. “Because, you know, they’re all doing their own gender-affirming care.” The Zambian bum-stick chimps seem positively sophisticated in comparison."

 

Article from June 2025 about the conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court siding with Trump on his deportations.


https://www.npr.org/2025/06/23/g-s1-71529/supreme-court-south-sudan-deportation

excerpt:

"The Supreme Court on Monday blocked a lower court order that required 15 days notice to individuals the Trump administration is trying to deport to countries other than their own.

The high court's action, at least for now, reversed the lower court's order requiring that those being deported have enough time to contact their lawyers and present evidence that would show their lives would be in danger if deported to certain countries.

The order focused on a flight carrying several men from various countries — including Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cuba and Mexico — which was initially headed to South Sudan but ended up in the East African country of Djibouti in order to give the men time to dispute their final destination. The U.S. government says the men are violent criminals, convicted of crimes including murder, sexual assault, kidnapping and robbery, and said they don't deserve to stay in the U.S."

Trump may slap blue state's taxpayers with $1 billion charge over feud with governor

excerpt:

"The Daily Beast reported Thursday that Trump is threatening to claw back federal money Congress already appropriated to Illinois unless Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) officially asks the White House for the funding. And if he follows through, Illinois taxpayers may have to pony up the money themselves.

Approximately $1.15 billion in federal money has been approved for the Brandon Road Lock and Dam on the Des Plaines River in Joliet, Illinois (just southwest of Chicago) to have a new system in place to prevent carp from swimming upstream into Lake Michigan and disrupting sensitive ecosystems. Michigan is paying $64 million for the anti-carp system, while Illinois committed to $50 million, but the vast bulk of the cost is being shouldered by the federal government."

Partial list of Trump's behavior in the week leading up to the Labor Day Weekend.


The Sycophancy Must Be Televised

excerpt:

"An incomplete catalogue of events since my last Letter from Trump’s Washington would include the White House’s attempt to fire Lisa Cook, a governor of the independent Federal Reserve; the attempted ouster of Trump’s new head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and subsequent resignations of several senior officials in protest of Kennedy’s anti-vaccine policies; the President’s threat to expand his militarization of domestic policing from Washington to other Democratic-run cities such as Baltimore and Chicago; a federal takeover of Union Station; a new executive order purporting to ban flag-burning in defiance of Supreme Court decisions ruling that it is constitutionally protected free speech; Friday-evening purges of senior officials in the intelligence community who contradicted the Administration’s propaganda; and the President personally demanding the prosecution of his former friend Chris Christie after Christie said something he did not like on television. And that’s the partial list."

Donald Trump’s Self-Own Summit with Vladimir Putin

excerpt:

"Nothing says standing up to Russian aggression quite like welcoming the aggressor on a red carpet and applauding him. On Friday, Donald Trump did both at the start of his summit in Alaska with Vladimir Putin. This triumphant greeting was followed by multiple friendly handshakes, a cordial pat or two on the arm, and a companionable stride past an enfilade of American F-22 fighter jets at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson."

 

Trump says he has the best memory in the world.

When a reporter reminded him about it, Trump replied, "Did I use that expression?"

 

Trump called Zelensky a dictator.

When reminded about it in February 2025, Trump replied, "Did I say that?"

 

Judge won't rule until next week if Trump can fire Fed governor over alleged mortgage fraud.


https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/29/fired-fed-board-member-court-hearing-00536572

excerpt:

"Cobb seemed receptive to arguments by Cook and her attorney Abbe Lowell that Trump fired her over “mere allegations” that she falsely claimed in mortgage applications to have more than one primary residence. Those claims have not resulted in any legal or investigative finding of misconduct or any criminal charge."

 

Trump blocks $4.9B in foreign aid Congress OK’d, using maneuver last seen nearly 50 years ago

excerpt:

"Trump, who sent a letter to Johnson, R-La., on Thursday, is using what’s known as a pocket rescission — when a president submits a request to Congress to not spend approved funds toward the end of the fiscal year, so Congress cannot act on the request in a 45-day timeframe and the money goes unspent as a result. It’s the first time in nearly 50 years a president has used one. The fiscal year draws to a close at the end of September."

 

It’s a good thing that Trump is such a conspicuously monumental asshole that he’s still visible through the dense smoke screen of his nonsense.
