A few pool-related cartoons this week, they all speak for themselves:

At the Great American State Fair, you can find a dinosaur's rib cage. Unity is another matter: PBS

A dinosaur rib cage. A 7,000-pound sandcastle made with Jersey Shore sand. Two rocking chairs in an unstaffed booth as well as a number of empty spaces.

This is the Great American State Fair [subsidized by US taxpayer for $80 million].

The fair kicked off this week and is a run by Freedom 250, an organization created by President Donald Trump to run his administration's official events. Its creation caused tension with America250, a congressionally created group that was designed to plan the nation's 250th anniversary. The event on the National Mall will run into July.

Trump State Fair BACKFIRES In Best Way!

Really American
...
"'The Great American State Fair] a total disaster so far, which is how you know it's a Trump event.

We have had small small crowds.

The only musical act that didn't cancel ahead of time got cancelled the night of.

A blatant display of racism

and a prominent mega influencer getting arrested for a lewd act in front of female performers.

[Also power outages]

Is America great again yet? No. "

Donald Trump you’re such a chump
Netanyahu got you
Now you’re in a terrible slump
Even Epstein’s caught you
the pool is green the worst I’ve seen
it isn’t just the lining
your brain is fried you cannot hide 
the signs of your declining

 

Everybody boos you
they say they want to lose you
Polls are bad your brain’s gone mad
Why would voters choose you?
Now the games are underway
your nappy stinks of past decay
The East Wing is a rubble pile
What you touch you just defile

 

Things are bad you’re such a bore
Your rants and raves we just ignore
Maybe you should start a war 
Iran is just the place to score
But now you’ve made an awful mess
and Aussie boys are not impressed
Your scrambled brain has no defender
Don, you’re just a sex offender!

Accurate:

 

 

I'm reading this at the moment: https://www.amazon.com/Regime-Change-Inside-Imperial-Presidency/dp/1668067242

 

Apparently in his inauguration speech last year, the orange buffoon was going to mention the pardoning of the January 6 thugs, but his staff talked him out of it, pointing out that almost half the audience would get up and walk out if he did so, which would hardly show as "uniting the country". So, he just went ahead and did it the next day 🙄

Even if you know nothing about about "Watergate" you'd know it was a scandal that rocked the USA.

Recently Vice President JD Vance on Nixon, where Vance downplays the seriousness of Watergate and reframing it as a trivial event.

Not a Trump "it's deep state conspiracy", but all bipartisan pre-Trump historians agreed "it's deep state conspiracy".

The evidence shows Nixon orchestrated a cover‑up, which brought him down.

And then recasting Nixon, and Trump, as victims rather than perpetrators.

I guess having no shame is prerequisite in the Trump administration,

At least Disney didn't bring "Song of the South"with happy blacks on a plantation, to their streaming service.

Put differently, Disney’s willing to hide a problematic part of its past, in contrast to Vance’s willingness to rewrite problematic parts of Republican political history.
--------------
JD Vance: "I'm actually fascinated by Nixon as a a character in history

I think that his historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, but I think deservedly so

As I joked with Robert backstage, if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story

Like the idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy

And by the way, if you look at the story of how the deep state took down Richard Nixon, it's not all that different from what the same groups of people, the same institutions tried to do to Donald Trump in the first Trump administration"

The NY Times - Trump Cut a Billion-Dollar Mining Deal. His Sons Stand to Profit. (unlocked link)

 

This is a long article - high level corruption is complicated!

 

28 June 2026

 

An agreement between the U.S. and Kazakhstan has given a group of American investors with ties to the president and the commerce secretary access to one of the world’s largest untapped reserves of tungsten.

 

At the center of the Kazakhstan deal is an Australia-born rabbi named Pini Althaus, who moved to the United States years ago and set his sights on critical minerals.

 

Mr. Althaus is the executive chairman of Kaz Resources and the related company that will mine the Kazakh tungsten deposit, and he remains a shareholder in another critical minerals firm he founded that secured up to $1.6 billion in Commerce Department financing this month. ...

BBC News - Trump's final appeal of E Jean Carroll sex abuse case rejected

 

breaking

 

 

The US Supreme Court will not hear an appeal requested by President Donald Trump to review the civil case that found he defamed and sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll.

 

A New York jury awarded Carroll $5m in damages in 2023 over her civil claim that Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990s, and then branded the incident a hoax on social media.

 

It was Trump's final hope of overturning the jury's unanimous verdict and means he will have to pay Carroll the damages she had been awarded.

 

The Supreme Court gave no details about their decision not to take up the case, as is customary.

BBC News - Supreme Court allows late-arriving mail-in ballots in defeat for Trump

 

breaking

 

 

The Supreme Court has ruled that states may count postal ballots received late if they were postmarked by election day, rejecting the Trump administration's push to block it.

 

The 5-4 decision upholds a Mississippi law that had permitted the counting of mail-in ballots postmarked before election day but arrived up to five days afterwards.

 

The ruling marks a significant political defeat for Donald Trump, who called the decision a "tremendous loss". The president has repeatedly stated that mail-in ballots are vulnerable to fraud.

 

 

Don Coglione is having a bad day in court.   ☺️

 

["Coglione" = "idiot" or "imbecil" in Italian.]

"Declined to 'review' a Fake Case..."

 

Why did he write "review" between quotes? Wasn't it a real review? Was it supposed to be a fake review? One he bought, perhaps?

 

Every accusation is a confession.

 

"This case is against the United States of America"

 

Errr, nope. It's against him.
