https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/opinion/trump-values-maga-cabinet.html excerpt: "In this morality, the fact that a presidential nominee is accused of sexual assault is a feature, not a bug. It’s a sign that this nominee is a manly man. Manly men go after what they want. They assert themselves and smash propriety — including grabbing women “by the pussy” if they feel like it. In this worldview, a nominee enshrouded in scandal is more trustworthy than a person who has lived an honest life. The scandal-shrouded nominee is cast out from polite society. He’s not going to run to a New York publisher and write a tell-all memoir bashing the administration in which he served. Such a person is not going to care if he is scorned by the civil servants in the agency he has been hired to dismantle. The corrupt person owes total fealty to Donald Trump. There is no other realm in which he can achieve power and success except within the MAGA universe. Autocrats have often preferred to surround themselves with corrupt people because such people are easier to control and, if necessary, destroy."

The House passed the rescission overnight after the Senate barely passed it. That sends it to Trump's desk.
Even with razor thin seat margins, Trump is getting his way in the House and Senate. It shows the extent of control he has over the GOP.
Of course it would have nothing to do with him having a big fat ass, would it? I would hazard a guess that there's a bit of heart failure going on - the makeup on his hand is covering an IV bruise....With the time he spends plastering his orange face on every day, woudn't you have thought that someone would have done a better job plastering the concealer on his hand?
Well, I guess freedom of the press is officially dead. CBS knuckled under and is cancelling Stephen Colbert's Late Show.... First it was 60 minutes meddling.... tRump is holding their broadcast license hostage.
The sky is the limit for CBS to bend its knee to Trump now that it needs his FCC for approval of business ventures. CBS reporter and host of 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl, might even issue a formal written apology that states that she was wrong and that Trump really is more humble than she could understand. During an interview in 2016, after Stahl told Trump he wasn't known as a humble man, Trump interrupted her mid-sentence and said: "I think I'm much more humble than you would understand. I do have actually much more humility than a lot of people would think."
In the past Trump's doctors gave him a weight and height that made his BMI 29.9, just under the obese category. The betting community was saying his weight was near 285 lb. That would give him a BMI of 35.6 for a generous height of 6 ft 3 in and 36.6 for a more reasonable height of 6 ft 2 in, well into the obese range of 30 to 40. Trump chickened out of the challenge for him to step on an accurate weigh scale in public. For his arrest and booking in GA, his weight was self-reported.
For his arrest and booking in Atlanta, Trump's self-reported height and weight were 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds. That's a BMI of 26.9. Normal weight BMI is considered to be about 20 to 25.
California governor Newsom says Alcatraz will reopen the same day that Trump releases the Epstein files. Gavin Newsom says Alcatraz will reopen the ‘same day Trump releases the Epstein files’
Trump administration appears poised to try to reopen Alcatraz as a prison. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/us/alcatraz-prison-trump-bondi-burgum-visit.html excerpt: “Alcatraz could hold the worst of the worst,” Ms. Bondi told a Fox News reporter as she stood outside a rusting former prison cell. “It could hold illegal aliens. It could hold anything.”
A migrant farm worker, a gardener, a car washer, a college student legally in the U.S. on a visa who co-authored an op-ed critical of Israel's bombing of Gaza, plus any innocent person whom Trump mistakenly took for not being innocent and not being able to admit he made a mistake.
215. Right. He would be gaunt at that weight. I would bet he is pushing 300. Go ahead, drink more sugar Coke....we can add diabetes to the list of things that we hope will kill you soon.
'The jig is up:' Conservative says Trump faces a 'dormant virus that could flare up again' excerpt: "According Lewis, Trump spent years playing a large part creating a culture of conspiracy as a central tenet among his most avid followers and now, with the slow-walking of the Epstein files, he "got out-conspiracy-theoried" and is finding himself in the crosshairs."
Trump administration to destroy nearly $10m of contraceptives for women overseas excerpt: "The Trump administration has decided to destroy $9.7m worth of contraceptives rather than send them abroad to women in need."
Trump got caught by a recording of him saying he can grab women by the crotch because he's a celebrity. Yet now he's suing news outlets that showed a sketch he made of a nude lady in a letter he sent to Epstein.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition where the veins in the legs have difficulty drawing attention from the fact that the Epstein files haven't been released yet.
Chronic Epstein Insufficiency. Release all the Epstein files. Inquiring minds want to know. Especially after Trump fueled their conspiracy-truther mentality for the past ten years.
Gabbard calls for prosecution of Obama and associates for alleged treasonous conspiracy against Trump. Tulsi Gabbard calls for Obama to be prosecuted over 2016 election claims excerpt: “Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people.
