https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/steve-bannon-calls-for-trump-to-deploy-ice-and-military-troops-to-polling-sites/ar-AA1VG2KU?cvid=1d07e3cc13364d1b9041cfe2c52860ec&ei=19

 

Great. So now Republicans want to "nationalise" voting - which is not what the Constitution permits - and Steve Bannon wants to deploy ICE thugs to voting booths?

 

“We’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November. We’re not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again,” Bannon said Tuesday on his podcast. “And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen.”

 

Here comes voter intimidation and/or people just not turning up to vote for fear of being arrested by ICE while waiting in line to vote 😠

 

Can this grifting loser not just disappear into irrelevance? Why does the orange buffoon even keep him around? It must simply be because he tells him what he wants to hear 🙄

 

 

The two Steve's, Bannon and Miller. Oh to be called Steve in the USA. Perhaps we could coin another term to describe certain people with the two Steve's characteristics just like the term Karen is used.

Technofreak: The substantial number of voter abstainees is no different to here

Turnout is substantially higher in NZ when compared to all USA election branches. NZ is trending down but we have a long way to go to catch USA.

El Oski showed reporters a tattoo honoring the president, a commitment that took three sessions of about four hours each to complete.

 

He recalled being “very excited about Trump” at the time.

 

But that enthusiasm has slowly faded away as immigration enforcement intensifies nationwide.

 

“I’m scared,” he said in Spanish, acknowledging that he and many other Cubans remain at risk of deportation.

 

Yet another story of a MAGA follower now at risk of getting deported by ICE (this bloke is from Cuba originally). He loves the orange buffoon so much he even went out and got a tattoo of him (yuck) on his body 😮 what a hideous thing to see 🤮 how the hell would you explain getting that crap to your kids? (or anyone you care about?) 

 

I would normally say Trump could step in and save him but I also remember Trump saying something along the lines of people with tattoos must be bad people/gangsters, so...conflicting... 🤷‍♂️

That is an exceptionally good tatoo. Wearing a high collar in Cuba and never taking that shirt off would be a severe price to pay.

The term grifting/grafting is mentioned a lot when it comes to the orange buffoon, here's an accurate depiction:

 

https://www.politico.com/dims4/default/a32f0c4/2147483647/resize/1160x%3E/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.politico.com%2Ff7%2F0d%2Ff401b4ce40d8bf7cc06ed36afbd9%2Fm-wuerker-politico.jpeg

 

We wonder too!:

 

https://www.politico.com/dims4/default/1ac890e/2147483647/resize/1160x%3E/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.politico.com%2F4d%2Fcd%2F5ff08b644e62aec9ca853f5748ae%2Fnick-anderson.jpg

 

And the projection (from him) is rife around this one:

 

https://www.politico.com/dims4/default/2ae4c3d/2147483647/resize/1160x%3E/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.politico.com%2Fd7%2Fd5%2F0ed9d9cb4f21a544cada34944ea5%2Frob-rogers-tinyview.jpg

 

Finally, as if you needed anymore proof that he was a racist a-hole: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/586156/trump-shares-racist-video-depicting-obamas-as-apes-sparking-outrage (I won't repost the image here as I think it's a disgusting piece of racist crap)

 

What grates with me is his press secretary (who I've seen given the nickname "Propaganda Barbie") describing it as "fake outrage" 😠:

 

“This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public,” she said. 

 

I'm pretty sure that they care about this!!! What a pity her deflection and distraction didn't work for once, as the post was deleted soon after.

Reuters - TrumpRx has limited reach at launch beyond weight-loss drugs, experts say

 

07 Feb 2026

 

Trump unveiled the website - which is a central pillar of his efforts to lower drug prices in the United States - at a White House event on Thursday night.

 

Summary

 

    GLP-1 weight-loss drugs discounted
    Fertility drugs also significantly discounted
    At launch only five manufacturer's drugs were on the website
    Drugs are not directly for sale on TrumpRx

 

You’re going to save a fortune,” President Trump said at the site’s unveiling.

 

Spoken like a true snake-oil salesman.  😏

At this year's Super Bowl, some MAGA musicians (ie, Kid Rock, lol) are doing a halftime show for the MAGA crowd, so that they won't have to watch acts like Bad Bunny perform - who the orange buffoon somehow thinks isn't a US citizen, despite Bad Bunny being born in Puerto Rico.

 

Unfortunately for Kid, some of the acts for his alternate show are starting to pull out once they realise what it's about: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/shinedown-drops-kid-rock-maga-193316575.html

No surprises there. It is exactly what Trump said he would do - target 'democrat' states. Remember Trump's big thing is immigrants are voting! and/or illegal workers are voting illegally!

Trump does not care which. As long as 'his' people vote and a maximum number of potential non-Trump voters are intimidated that is a good result.

The KKK did voter intimidation for many years after the civil war and regularly carried out murders for that purpose right up to the mid 1960s. Trump has to be a bit more creative.

Shine's drummer called Ludacris a coward for pulling out. Looks like that guy was outvoted by the rest of the band. Imo anyone who quits the tour will pick up more fans and publicity than they lose.

Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments: blog

There have been a lot of complaints about both the competency and the logic behind the latest Epstein archive release by the DoJ: from
  • censoring the names of co-conspirators
  • to censoring pictures of random women in a way that makes individuals look guiltier than they really are,
  • forgetting to redact credentials that made it possible for all of Reddit to log into Epstein’s account and trample over all the evidence,
  • and the complete ineptitude that resulted in most of the latest batch being corrupted thanks to incorrectly converted Quoted-Printable encoding artifacts
, it’s safe to say that Pam Bondi’s DoJ did not put its best and brightest on this (admittedly gargantuan) undertaking. But the most damning evidence has all been thoroughly redacted… hasn’t it? Well, maybe not.

Worst of all completely failing to redact the names of many of the victims. It makes anyone wonder what Trump's D.O.J were really focused on redacting.

The Epstein files release takes down it's first significant politician in the UK.

Peter Mandelson who is a member of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's inner circle, provided insider information to Jeffrey Epstein, potentially worth millions. Mandelson's home was raided by UK police today.
