So, uh, where is he? The Drumpfster is the most desperately needy insecure little narcissist the world has suffered for a long, long time. Maybe ever. This guy is SO desperate for attention, he pressed his face against the glass at Walter Reid Hospital when he had Covid just so he could be seen. Now nobody has seen him in a public appearance since Tuesday?

That makes today Day Five without any camera time, no fawning pressers, no public adulation from his toadies, nothing. There have been a couple of posts to his crappy social media site but even they don’t sound like 47. Some of the words are decidedly too big. That is, someone else wrote them.

Whatever is keeping him out of the public eye, it must be pretty serious. I’m pretty sure Donny is simply incapable of choosing to stay out of the public eye. His need for attention drives him the exact same way a heroin addict is driven to heroin.

When he has been seen recently, he shows signs of some health issue. I mean, he’s been trying NOT to show signs of some health issue, but people see it anyway. I heard a doctor say a great way to measure the likelihood of an infirmity, in Donny’s case, would be to pay attention to his golf. Donny comes and Donny goes but Donny golfs. It’s pretty much all he does. (And he even cheats at that when he’s playing alone!) Right now? Donny ain’t golfin’…

I don’t know. Hope springs eternal and maybe I’m just seeing what I want to see. And wish to see. And pray to see. But it IS a hopeful sign, right? Maybe the daily mantra, “Trump dead at 79” is having the desired effect. Let’s keep up the good work, people. Keep chanting. Hold it in your heart. Discuss it among your friends. “Trump dead at 79.” We seem to be making headway…

The tariffs are illegal? To tell you the truth, I’m not surprised to hear that 47’s tariffs are illegal. I’ve read the US Constitution. I KNOW that the power of the purse resides with Congress. Taxation is very definitely within the purview of Congress. The fact that Congress has chosen, lackey style, to ignore The Felon’s encroachments into their territory doesn’t pass the power to the President.

The part that surprises me is that an appellate court said as much. The tariffs have been ruled illegal, correctly, by the DC Appellate court. He’s not worried. He knows he still has the Roberts Supremely Corrupt Kangaroo Court to come to his rescue. I expect them to issue their standard ruling, “Whatever our Precious wants,” which will save his tax increase on Americans.

But corrupt rulings from a corrupted court cannot change reality. His tariffs are illegal. He has no authority to issue nor enforce them. They ARE tax increases on the American people and he has no authority to unilaterally increase taxes on the American people.

I’m not saying he’ll stop. Of course he’s going to do whatever he wants, no matter who it hurts. And oh, man does he seem to enjoy hurting people. It’s just like, a little breath of fresh air, hearing a court issue a ruling that comports with the Constitution. It’s rather rare, these days, and I’m glad to know it’s still possible. You know, for now…

Mortgage fraud seems to be 47’s new go-to charge when he wants to smear someone, in this case Fed governor Lisa Cook. Hey, at least fraud is a topic he genuinely knows something about. In this case, the regime accused Cook of mortgage fraud because they claim she has more than one loan listed as her primary residence.

Okay, first, we don’t even know if that’s true but second, it certainly could be. One gets a better rate on a loan for a primary residence than for an investment property, so the concern is that people lie, pretending an investment property is their primary residence. And, people do. BUT, it’s also possible that she just moved.

One gets a loan for their new primary residence, then, say, a year later, moves to a new house, with a new loan, ALSO listed as a primary residence. The rule is, the borrower only has to stay in a primary residence for six months for it to satisfy the terms of the primary residence designation. Now two loan files exist, both showing different houses as the primary residence and both houses actually were at one time or another. That’s NOT mortgage fraud.

As ALWAYS with this lying and criminal regime, I’d need to see the evidence. No, I don’t want to hear sincere promises that the evidence exists. Show it or STFU…

It’s a measure of how people feel about what this crooked crowd of cowardly creeps is doing. A guy named Sean Dunn throws a sandwich at an ICEhole, hitting him. The sandwich was from Subway and it was still wrapped up so the ICEhole didn’t get dirty just… hit with a sandwich. Still, that’s technically battery, if I understand correctly, so he was arrested and charges were filed.

The thing is, this performative pack of petulant pukes wanted to make maximum impact so they charged the guy with everything they could think of (actually felony assault) and made a grand announcement they were going to put the guy in prison for years and decades to come. And then? The Grand Jury wouldn’t indict the guy. It’s good to know there are still decent people around, eh?

This, after Jeanine Pirro, Donny’s hand-picked, and very pickled US Attorney failed to get an indictment against a DC resident named Sydney Reid – three times! (It is possible, likely, even, that Pirro is just a crappy, crappy lawyer.) Reid was accused of felony assault after scuffling with an ICEhole. But they couldn’t get the felony so Reid will be charged with a misdemeanor. Still, jury nullification in Grand Juries is not common and I’m happy to see people standing up for their fellow citizens against the worst, most vile impulses of this evil regime…

Oh, I didn’t want to forget to mention, Donald Trump was Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend for fifteen years and they very likely raped children together. MAGA doesn’t care but decent people do. And we haven’t forgotten…
