I hate to be one of the crazies, but I am starting to feel like the Conspiracy Theorists are mostly right about this administration.

The problem is that this administration is shit, but the conspiracy theorists go around saying the opposition is the one doing the crazy stuff.

 

Every accusation is a confession.

And the more we hear about Trump (only almost) getting shot, the less we hear about his crimes. We're not talking about the Epstein files, or the Iran War, or anything else.

 

Which could be just another conspiracy theory: Trump needs ever more crazy schemes to distract from his culpability in everything.

 

Personally I don't want Trump to be assassinated. I want him to die struggling to make ends meet on a McDonalds wage, living in a one room unheated walk up bedsit on the 4th floor, just so he gets a taste of what he has inflicted on everyone else. Failing that, dying in a jail cell. But an assassination, however righteous the shooter might feel, is not justice for Donald Trump.

The NY Times - Opinion - Trump’s Shockingly Unqualified U.S. Attorney Picks

 

27 April 2026

 


When President Trump began his second term, he stacked the top ranks of the Justice Department - the country’s chief federal law enforcement officers - with his former private attorneys, no doubt to make sure that they would protect his own personal and political interests rather than the nation’s.

 

Lately, though, in a less conspicuous way, he’s playing offense as well as defense, naming United States attorneys who will pursue, and even prosecute, his enemies. 

 

The Senate will shortly decide whether to confirm three of Mr. Trump’s most astonishing - and chillingly unqualified - selections for these crucial local positions :

 

  • The senators will shortly decide whether to confirm Darin Smith as the chief federal prosecutor in Wyoming. Mr. Smith has acknowledged participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 protests at the Capitol to overturn President Biden’s victory in the 2020 election ...

  • [Also nominated] Phillip Williams Jr. to be U.S. attorney in the Northern District of Alabama ... as a lawyer, Mr. Williams has never tried a criminal case. ...

  • [Also nominated] Dan Bishop to be the U.S. attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina. ... In his private practice, Mr. Bishop estimated that the cases he handled were 97 percent civil and 3 percent criminal. ...

Reuters - Trump administration fires entire National Science Board

 

28 April 2026

 

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration has terminated the entire National Science Board of more than 20 members ...

 

  • The ‌independent board was established in 1950 to guide the governance of the National Science Foundation and to advise the president and the Congress on policies ​about science and engineering.

  • It included over 20 members appointed for ​six-year terms.

  • The majority of the board members were academics.

  • Political experts say his administration is attempting to ​remake those bodies by installing loyalists in leadership positions and by ​removing independent and critical voices.

  • Board members were told on Friday they were being ousted effective immediately. 

They were too well qualified.  😒

The King and I

 

The Washington Post - King Charles’s rare state visit offers U.K. a chance to mend ties with Trump

 

28 April 2026

 


The long-planned encounter had been intended to showcase close Anglo-American relations 250 years after the Declaration of Independence. 

 

Instead, it comes in the middle of one of the sharpest fights between Washington and London in generations, as Trump and Prime Minister Keir Starmer tussle over the president’s war on Iran and whether either side still wants to hold on to the close cooperation of the past. ...

 

But the British government hopes the visit can be a chance to reset with a king who floats above politics, a symbol of his nation who answers to no voter.

In memory of Charlie Kirk the GOP intends to target Democrats' and comedians' free speech.

 

The event was a dinner to celebrate press freedoms. Now that the main stream media is run by likes of the Ellisons and Bezos they have exactly the freedoms they want.

 

Now that the people don't trust the press, (many people are saying they are also known as the enemy of the people), people are turning to alternative sources for news, such as comedians, for the GOP that is no laughing matter.

 

So can't change 2nd amendment, so it is the 1st amendment that has to give. Heaven forbid that sworn members of government who have taken an oath of office have to uphold it.

The Bulwark - State Dept. Finalizing Plan to Put Trump Picture on U.S. Passports

 

29 April 2026

 


The State Department is close to finalizing a radical redesign of the U.S. passport to include a picture of President Donald Trump ...

 

The redesign is ostensibly part of a larger celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence. It comes as the Treasury Department prepares to produce coins featuring Trump’s image - both a controversial $1 coin in general circulation and an “as large as possible” commemorative gold coin ...

 

The inside cover of the new State Department-issued document will feature a scowling Trump - taken from his second inaugural portrait - superimposed over the Declaration of Independence, as well as the president’s signature in gold. ...

 

 The State Department is planning a “limited run” of 25,000 Trump-emblazoned passports.

 

 

Another pathetic tasteless Trump vanity project. 🙄

"I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject," Kimmel said. "I also should point out Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you and as am I and as are all of us, because under the First Amendment we have as Americans the right to free speech."

 

 

More childish whining from the world's most thin-skinned narcissist 🙄

Like Melania asking for sanctions on Jimmy Kimmel for his joke this week.

 

What happened to "F--K YOUR FEELINGS"?

 

Ah, right. It's only one way, with MAGAturds.

His face on top of the Declaration of Independence is telling. They consider their leader above the law.
