A Report Card On The Trump Administration

Who knows pathetic liars better than an even more / bigger / decades practicing / pathetic liar .

NPR reports, "Senior White House adviser Kari Lake issued mass layoff notices Friday to 639 employees of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the federal outlet which owns the Voice of America and through which Congress directs money for other government-funded international networks, such as Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia.

"The vast majority of the job cuts, intended to be a permanent reduction in the size of the workforce, affects Voice of America, the government-owned international network that has beamed news reports to countries under autocratic regimes since World War II.

"In a press release, Lake called her action "part of a long-overdue effort to dismantle a bloated, unaccountable bureaucracy." She said 85% of jobs, or 1,400 positions, had been eliminated in total, in keeping with an executive order in mid-March from President Trump.

Trump does not want the United States to be the leader of the Free World.

But he does want to keep his tax cuts and that costs money.

20 years ago a smart lil Jack Russell Terrier could solve illegal stuff & cost $125,000 and episode on PBS / BBC
I quit following PBS with the advent of Internet TV and Air Broadcasts of many added chanels. I can wear myself
out looking for the program I select. Right now, its 50 years of SNL shows. ... :coffee: ...
 
The Post reports, "President Donald Trump can keep the California National Guard in Los Angeles for now, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday evening, delivering a win for the president as he aims to use the military to police protests against his deportation efforts."

This does not surprise me. The Framers placed the President in command of America's military. They never imagined that Americans would be foolish enough to elect a man like Trump to the Presidency.

So, Trump's military occupation of L.A., America's second largest city, is legal.

But was it smart?

Combined with his aggressive immigration raids, the military occupation of a major American city caused protests and riots across the country, from San Diego to New York. The ICE police wear masks to protect their identity.

To most people, that doesn't sound too bright, but Trump is our President.

To illustrate my point, Trump Republicans will stay silent on the issue.

According to Trump's Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon and the Supreme Leader has not authorized the resumption of a weapons program. This assessment is consistent with past intelligence reports.

It is quite likely that Iran does not want a nuke. Iran's bitter enemy, Israel, has between 75 to 200 nukes. (Israel does not publicize her nuclear stockpile.)

When it comes to command of America's military, Trump is clueless.

Plus, he does not listen to anyone. His cabinet consists of fools, picked because of their loyalty, not their expertise. If Trump is dumb enough to get us involved in a Middle East war, America will be in big trouble.

Trump has rejected the intelligence from his director of intelligence because he did not like the intell. He cannot provide a basis for his rejection. For a President to reject intell because he doesn't like it is very dangerous.

With a remarkable lack of insight Trump says he will not use ground troops if he bombs Iran. The dumb-ass doesn't have a choice. The sixth grader next door knows we already have ground troops in the Middle East -- 40,000 of them to be exact.

Our commander, Trump, does not know this, but our ground units are well within range of Iran's ballistic missiles or are vulnerable to terrorist organizations controlled by Iran.

As the overall commander of military operations, Trump is either very stupid or he is lying to the American people. Take your pick.

Americans do know this about Trump. When it come to military operations, the President should keep his mouth shut. Trump doesn't even know that, and the enemy is listening to every word.

Trump is dangerous. As the President, he doesn't even know when to keep his mouth shut!
 
I didn't vote for O. I didn't dislike him. I respect him. He hits the nail with this thought too.

Somebody in the Trump administration has to be aware that Iran is far stronger than Iraq was in 2003, when the U.S. started the war with Iraq.

The Iraq War lasted eight years.

In the current Israel/Iran war Iran's ground units, armored units, air force, and naval units have not been touched.

Multiple B-2 Spirit stealth bombers were making their way west over the Pacific Ocean on Saturday, according to a U.S. official familiar with the issue — a likely show of force as President Donald Trump deliberates potential strikes on a key nuclear facility in Iran.

That is just the Trump administration keeping the excitement up and the headlines coming. The B-2 doesn't require two weeks notice to hit Iran.

Of course, it is working. War is interesting and the media is happy to oblige.
 
NBC reports, "Several members of Congress in both parties Saturday questioned the legality of President Donald Trump’s move to launch military strikes on Iran.."

Like the loyal lapdogs they are, Republicans in Congress fell in line with Trump. Without question, they support Trump's war of aggression.

Iran’s theocratic autocracy has been lying about its nuclear ambitions for at least 20 years. I don’t think this hack channel talk of “flexibility” means more than more lying.

The Ayatollah is not a regular, moderate, Muslim. He is a hardline extremist who believes there are the believers and the kuffar, and those kuffar who won’t convert must go. He believes in the jihad against the infidels.

You want that to have a nuclear bomb?

CNN reports, "Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made clear she is at odds with the president and other Republicans who support an aggressive posture against Iran, acknowledging that there’s a “very big divide” in the party over the issue and that her position opposing foreign wars is becoming “more popular” among the base.

"Earlier in the day, she wrote in a lengthy post on X that Trump’s decision to authorize US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend “feels like a complete bait and switch” on the MAGA agenda.

"The US strikes in Iran further inflamed a growing divide within Trump’s party, between those cheering on intervention in the conflict, like Sen. Lindsey Graham, and those warning against engaging in forever wars, like Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie, as well as influential conservative voices like Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk.

"Asked if Trump risks alienating his MAGA base, Greene acknowledged a “very big divide” among Republican voters, noting younger generations are more “skeptical.”

“We’ve been lied to too many times, and I think it’s right to be skeptical,” she said."
 


Ahh, No, The donald has been a show off, doing exactly as he pleases his life.
No one has ever knocked him off his feet.
Even Fed courts are owned!

Totally spoiled, only happy with total control of you.
The Donald don't get his way 100% You get threatened. Is the way it is with a Duck-tator's mind.
AOC is the latest to be threatened. I don't agree with her but the threats?

Actually June 1st a couple places had huge explosions in N. E. Mo. and news blackouts. Most likely training runs out of the airbase in Mo. ----- News total blackouts. ---- total no news about them.
 
CNN reports, "Republican senators are waiting for more information about the state of Iran’s nuclear program and what could come next after US strikes on facilities over the weekend.

"The need for more information comes against the backdrop of CNN reporting that the US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment. The early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities."

That's interesting. So far, CNN has provided more information to Republican Senators than the Republican President.

Trump postponed the briefing to Senators on his attack on Iran.
 
NATO leaders know all about Trump. Praise him, and you will have a friend for life.

NBC reports, "Arguably few things better demonstrate NATO's bending over backward to please President Donald Trump than this remark by the military alliance’s secretary-general, Mark Rutte, on Wednesday.

“Daddy has to sometimes use strong language,” Rutte joked while pumping his fist, defending Trump’s use of an expletive to admonish Israel and Iran the day before. Delivered at the alliance’s summit in The Hague, it was exactly the kind of machismo that Trump is known to value."
 
The White House plans to limit intelligence sharing with members of Congress,

The Republican White House is briefing the Republican Congress on Trump's attack on Iran.

It should be no surprise to anyone as to how that turned out.

Currently, Trump is rejecting an intelligence report from the Defense Department. The "briefing" provided Trump's version of events.

Americans, in their infinite wisdom, gave full control of our government to Donald Trump, a man whose statements cannot be trusted.
 
Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is in trouble.

NBC reports, "Republicans suffered a blow Thursday after the Senate referee ruled that a series of health care cuts and savings in their sweeping domestic policy bill are ineligible for the party-line path they're using to get around the chamber's 60-vote threshold.

"Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, who adjudicates procedural disputes between the two parties, has disqualified several provisions, including Medicaid rules prohibiting funds without verification of immigration status, reimbursement changes to contracts with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), provider tax restrictions aimed at saving federal dollars, and new limitations surrounding eligibility for Affordable Care Act funding."

NBC reports,"President Donald Trump is facing political headwinds for his “big, beautiful bill” as Republican leaders hope to begin votes on it in the Senate this week.

Specifically, a raft of new surveys indicate that the GOP is losing the battle of public opinion on a major piece of legislation they’re aiming to pass by July 4.

"A Fox News poll found that 38% of registered voters support the “One Big Beautiful Bill” based on what they know about it, while 59% oppose it."
 
Sure, we need to take out 20,000 targets in Iran. Iran's government is not a peace platform Politics Country.
Iran intends pure mayhem. This in not a God Loving Regime. IDA no Jesus or Lords? Son, is intended there.

Iran is a Terrorist making place for all of the MidEast that does not have its hell-bent reasons to send or go to hell.

So we need, should honor the Israelis but say **** it and keep bombing Iran. Blow the F. out of Iran's ability to make weapons / War stuff.

An interesting fact about Trump Republicans is their inability to discuss what Trump is doing and saying.

It's sort of problematic. They are owned by Pac's ! Leslie is in trouble now. Big Mouth M. has completely changed her B.S. too. At trouble at home.
Pac's have to be outlawed and only single investors allowed, not organizations of Illegal intents.

It all became obvious with E'Dolphs crap this spring and illegal stuff that has been doon at the front door of the Constitution by the Supreme Court's bunch.
 
Khamenei believes in his shit. The problem with the Donald is he believes in lies!
Khamenei intends to blow all away who are not wid him... It's just that simple.
I got missiles & Drones he says..

Most likely neither fellow believe in a bible, God or Jesus. Caps have to happen on Pacs. Single investor only and $50,000 max allowed. No add ins please.
 
What a F'n joke that is!

 
It is now clear that the Republican Party favors autocracy.

The Trump Presidency and the six conservative justices on the Supreme Court chosen by Republican Presidents (three by Trump) prove that point.

The Supreme Court released its ruling limiting the ability of judges to block President Donald Trump's executive orders even if they violate our laws and/or our Constitution. The Republican justices showed a clear preference for the Imperial Presidency.

The conservative justices are a bit short sighted. Their ruling today will also apply to Democratic Presidents, not just Trump.

The Republican justices ruled that federal courts should not exceed their power even when finding that the executive branch has acted unlawfully. Federal courts protecting the Constitution are "exceeding their power?"

Most American think that is the job of the federal courts and the Supreme Court.
 
Only Trump could make Canada the enemy.

A federal court should find Trump in contempt. Making Canada the enemy is contemptible.

The AP reports, "Trump said Friday that he’s suspending trade talks with Canada over its plans to continue with its tax on technology firms, which he called “a direct and blatant attack on our country.”

"Trump, in a post on his social media network, said Canada had just informed the U.S. that it was sticking to its plan to impose the digital services tax, which applies to Canadian and foreign businesses that engage with online users in Canada. The tax is set to go into effect Monday.

“Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period,” Trump said in his post.

"Trump’s announcement was the latest swerve in the trade war he’s launched since taking office for a second term in January. Progress with Canada has been a roller coaster, starting with the U.S. president poking at the nation’s northern neighbor and repeatedly suggesting it would be absorbed as a U.S. state."

The Post reports, "The Supreme Court on Friday limited the ability of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order to ban birthright citizenship, a decision that will have major implications for judicial power."

The six Republican justices (three chosen by Trump) did not address birthright citizenship or the Fourteenth Amendment!

Republicans, those in Congress and those here will maintain their silence when it comes to Trump.
