“… One day before Tennessee voters went to the polls this week for a special election in a House seat Donald Trump carried by 22 percentage points last year, the president quite literally phoned it in.

… But why can’t he be bothered to show up in a blood-red House district when base turnout is vital to success, and his party’s majority is so threadbare it may not survive this Congress?

… The answer is that Trump is living his best life in this second and final turn in the White House. Coming up on one year back in power, he’s turned the office into an adult fantasy camp, a Tom Hanks-in-Big, ice-cream-for-dinner escapade posing as a presidency.

The brazen corruption, near-daily vulgarity and handing out pardons like lollipops is impossible to ignore and deserves the scorn of history. Yet how the president is spending much of his time reveals his flippant attitude toward his second term. This is free-range Trump. And the country has never seen such an indulgent head of state.

Yes, he’s one-part Viktor Orbán, making a mockery of the rule of law and wielding state power to reward friends and punish foes while eroding institutions.

But he’s also a 12-year-old boy: There’s fun trips, lots of screen time, playing with toys, reliable kids’ menus and cool gifts under the tree — no socks or trapper keepers.

Yet, as with all children, there are also outbursts in the middle of restaurants.

Or in this case, the Cabinet Room.…”

The part that infuriates me most is the fact that's shes blond without an obvious accent DOESN'T MAKE IT ONE BIT WORSE THAN ALL THE OTHER VIDEOS WE'VE SEEN.

It's not somehow worse. She's a human being. Full stop. Same as every other human being these fuckers have done this to. Each and every one of these incidents is it's own separate outrage.

These fucking losers were just looking for a date. Which leads me to another uncomfortable question: how many women have been raped by these goons this year?

Trump’s Former Campaign Manager Assisted Honduran Presidential Candidate

“… Mr. Parscale acknowledged that he advised the campaign, but said that he had nothing to do with the endorsement or the pardon.

“I had no contact at all with the administration, including the president, about the election in Honduras or the pardon,” he told The New York Times.

Mr. Parscale’s involvement in the campaign offers a glimpse into the ways that right-wing political interests around the world have sought to affiliate with the American president.…”

“… Some 2,900 billionaires now control $15.8 trillion, up from about 2,700 billionaires with a cumulative wealth of nearly $14 trillion a year earlier. The number and wealth of billionaires as a whole were boosted by the second-highest number of new billionaires minted in a year—287—since UBS began tracking that figure in 2015. Only 2021, with its flood of government stimulus and low interest rates that boosted the prices of assets, saw a higher number of new billionaires created.…”

It should be illegal to name any federal government institution after a sitting president. Very autocratic.

Well, I don't know about illegal, but just like the Department of Defense, the Institute of Peace was created by congress, and as such, the executive branch lacks the authority to change the name. Or at least it would if congress wasn't full of beta cuck Pubs that have intentionally given up on the idea that they represent a coequal branch of government.
