Stagflation

 

The Trump economy:

Economic growth was weaker than expected in the second quarter though underlying drivers were mostly solid. At the same time, inflation in June held well above the Federal Reserve’s goal and complicated the central bank’s policy path, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.

Gross domestic product, a broad measure of goods and services, increased just 1.5% for the April-through June period, according to Bureau of Economic Analysis numbers adjusted for seasonality and inflation.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a growth rate of 1.8%, following the 2.1% increase in the first quarter.

A separate report showed that the personal consumption expenditures price index, which is the Federal Reserve’s primary forecasting gauge, fell a seasonally adjusted 0.1% for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 3.7%. The readings were in line with forecasts.

Excluding food and energy, core PCE posted a monthly increase of 0.1% and an annual level of 3.3%, against respective forecasts for 0.2% and 3.3%...

We of a certain age used to hear a lot about "stagflation" starting in the 60's and 70's as a portmanteau for "high inflation, stagnant economic growth, and elevated unemployment."

Today, it's a budding new reality under the mismanagement and incompetence of the Malignant Fascist's Epstein class of grifter/ advisors.  Tariffs, the Iran war of choice, and the MF's chaotic decision-making are all impacting the economy and people's pocketbooks negatively.  Every day, the MF and his minions try to put lipstick on the pig of their economy, but Americans who work for a living and those on a fixed income know the reality.  They know "affordability" isn't a hoax or a word Democrats made up.  And now, we need them to show up in November and give the MF a dose of reality.

This is the sort of thing that could spin out of control. Iran evidently could control when various nonstate actors they’ve cultivated would enter the conflict, but can’t really control what they do once unleashed, nor what the US and Saudi Arabia do in response, what the Iraqi govt does, etc.

Memory-holing the Malignant Fascist's disastrous COVID response (and Trump-Epstein files) by attacking Dr. Fauci -- 


Republicans want us to memory-hole everything Trump did in 2020 while dragging us back into the same tired 2020 culture wars: Fauci, Wuhan, vaccines, communism. Why? Because it’s now 2026, they broke the country, and desperately need a distraction to reinvigorate their base.

Seashells Case About To Backfire On DOJ

 



The malicious prosecutions ordered by the deranged and vindictive felon Malignant Fascist are entering a critical phase, as former FBI Director James "Emails" Comey asked a Federal court to dismiss the bogus case brought against him.  From MS Now:

"In the motion to dismiss his case, filed late Tuesday, Comey’s lawyers argued that the seashells case 'is not based on a good-faith application of the law to the facts' but instead 'effectuates a yearslong campaign by the President to use the criminal process to punish Mr. Comey for his protected speech and because of the President’s deep-seated animosity.' [snip]

Comey’s brief specifically claims that the Secret Service was sending frequent updates to Air Force One about its investigation of Comey at Trump’s request from the outset. Comey then alleges that although a Secret Service supervisor made clear that electronic surveillance was a 'bad idea' because there was no indication of any 'imminent danger to life’ to justify the warrantless surveillance,' the Service ultimately requested tracking of Comey’s cell phone the day after his Instagram post at the request of the Justice Department’s unnamed ‘number three’ person.’'

Comey further alleges that the surveillance was conducted as he and his wife drove back to Washington, D.C. from North Carolina, 'including as they stopped to visit the grave of their deceased son.'” (our emphasis)

That's pure Trumpian malice, paranoia, and sociopathic behavior on display. The article continues:

"A federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted Comey in April after he posted a photo of sea shells arranged to spell “86 47” on his social media account. The phrase “86” is a widely used term among restaurant workers that generally means to get rid of or refuse something, such as an unwanted customer or unavailable menu item. Prosecutors allege the phrase constituted a threat against Trump, the 47th president, and charged Comey with 'knowingly and willfully' threatening the president.

Lawyers for Comey have undercut that claim in new filings, arguing there was no true threat against the president.

'That claim is contradicted by every possible source of meaning: dictionaries, context, precedent, and common sense,' they wrote in the filing. 'Most dictionaries don’t even list the meaning — ‘to kill’— that the government now proposes.'” (our emphasis)

The case is so clearly one of vindictive prosecution -- one of many the MF has unlawfully initiated, including of Jerome Powell, Letitia James, and Jack Smith among others -- given that "86 47" had become a popular rallying cry for opponents of the lawless MF:

"The slogan “86 47” has become an increasingly popular rallying cry to express opposition to Trump. In arguing that Comey has been selectively prosecuted, his lawyers highlighted that 'the phrase is emblazoned on countless products sold' online and the slogan is commonly displayed at protests nationwide.

A federal judge in Washington recently ruled that anti-Trump protesters’ '86 47' signs and flags are protected forms of free speech under the First Amendment.

Comey’s lawyers argue their client has been singled out for using the expression." (our emphasis)

U.S. District Judge Louise Flanagan, a George W. Bush appointee, should have no problem dismissing this clearly malicious case against one of the MF's "enemies."  

 

Trump At Post-January 6 Level Approval

 


 

It's going to be hard to pull off a "Coup, Part Two" this November with the would-be king's numbers like this:

A record-high 73% of US adults say that President Donald Trump hasn’t paid enough attention to the country’s most important problems, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, with just 27% saying he’s had the right priorities.

That comes amid increasingly bleak views of the Iran war, stagnating economic unhappiness, and broad discontent about Trump’s approach to these challenges.

Roughly two-thirds of Americans think that Trump’s policies have worsened economic conditions and that his military decisions in Iran have hurt the US. Around three-quarters say the president is not in touch with the problems ordinary Americans face in their daily lives.

Trump’s overall approval rating, 34%, matches the career low he last saw at the close of his first term, following the January 6, 2021, insurrection. Half of Americans now strongly disapprove of him, a high across his terms, with a record-low 15% strongly approving.

Within his own party, his approval rating has hit a new low at 78% among Republicans, and just 19% of Republicans say they’re enthusiastic about the rest of his second term, down from 38% last spring... (our emphasis)

Those aren't even Viktor Orbán numbers;  they're Nicolae Ceaușescu numbers.  

The poll also shows that the public really doesn't like the Malignant Fascist's monuments to himself, his enriching himself and his crime family while in office with all the graft and conflicts of interest that come along with that, his ICE thugs making communities less safe, and Bobby "Brainworm" Kennedy's mis-handling of various health crises.  The poll doesn't seem to cover what the public thinks about the on-going Epstein-Trump files pedophile coverup.

Come November, we need to have a nationwide blowout throwing Republican MAGAts out of the House and Senate, one that can be denied only at their peril by the desperate MF or his sniveling fascist bootlickers.

Senate Resolution: No Pardon For Maxwell

 



In a largely symbolic move, the MAGA-led Senate voted a resolution by unanimous consent stating that underage sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, should receive no "pardon, commutation, or any other form of executive clemency" from Epstein friend and adjudicated sex abuser / rapist the Malignant Fascist.  From The Guardian:

"The US Senate on Wednesday unanimously passed a resolution declaring its opposition to any presidential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking crimes.  [snip]

Although Senate resolutions like these are non-binding and symbolic, [Nevada Sen. Jackie] Rosen’s office noted in a news release in February when she introduced the measure that the resolution was 'designed to put the Senate on record opposing the prospect' of Donald Trump of granting a pardon or clemency to Maxwell.  [snip]

By refusing to object, Republicans agreed to the resolution, which states that granting Maxwell 'a pardon, commutation, or any other form of executive clemency' would be 'inconsistent with the interests of justice and accountability for crimes involving the sexual exploitation of children'. The resolution also states that 'the President should not grant a pardon, commutation, or any other form of executive clemency' to Maxwell.

“The Senate stands with the victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking and affirms its commitment to justice, accountability, and the protection of children,” it adds.

The resolution comes as Maxwell has exhausted a series of appeals of her conviction, with the US supreme court declining to hear her petition last October."  (our emphasis)

Ever since her conviction on sex trafficking, the MF has been sending her signals not to divulge details of his relationship with Epstein, both in comments he's made, and in sending his personal criminal defense lawyer, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, to talk with her and move her to a minimum security "club Fed" style facility to please her and keep her on the MF's side.

QOTD -- Trump's Attack On The Smithsonian

 

"This is the story of a simple-minded, ill-read man who, handed the levers of power, thinks he knows best about American history and wants to control what every American understands about it. That would be troubling enough, but this obvious racist—whose agenda is fueled by his white supremacist views—also imagines he can dictate how we should love our country.

"The malevolence of which I speak is Donald Trump, of course. On Friday, he expanded his attack on the Smithsonian Institution and particularly the Museum of American History with another executive order ridiculously described as 'restoring trust.' His order demands that the much-trusted National Park Service install signs on the sidewalks and pathways leading to the museum; these should inform visitors that the museum’s exhibits 'should be renovated' and visitors should go elsewhere to find 'locations and resources for accurate information regarding America’s history.'  [snip]

"But this is what Trump does: He demeans experts and demonizes institutions he wants to control. Forget 'love of country.' Forget 'fostering unity.' Instead, we can expect more politicizing of respected nonpartisan institutions like the Smithsonian and the National Park Service—all for the purpose of rejecting the beautiful, complex and diverse history of our beloved country.

"This latest attack on our national memory is pitiful. It showcases Trump’s weakness. It reveals how a simple-minded authoritarian believes that he can deny us the truth and stunt our will. In 98 days, on Nov. 3, we can prove how wrong he is." -- writer Steven Beschloss, in his "America,America" Substack, on the simple-minded Malignant Fascist's "attack on our national memory," in an attempt to whitewash it into conformance with his and his party/ cult's white "Christian" nationalist ideology.

Mid-Week Song

 

Formed in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1989, alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub will release their 13th album in October, "Do Not Dare To Dream."  The long-standing group has released a video of one of the songs on that album, "Day In The Sun," which was recorded in a studio on a remote island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides.  Enjoy. 

MAGA Odds Of Holding Senate Slipping

 

From an article in Zeteo.com, polling suggests that the crazed Malignant Fascist's war on Iran  and resulting rise in gas and grocery prices have expanded the mid-term battleground map, moving some red states to "toss up," and some from "toss up" to "lean Democratic":

"Polling conducted for Senate Majority PAC, a super PAC affiliated with Democratic Senate leaders, found that Trump’s approval rating on gas prices dropped from 46% on March 1, right after he began the Iran war, to 33% on July 14.

Lauren French, communications director for the super PAC, tells Zeteo higher gas prices and grocery prices have voters viewing 'this war as a real negative, even more than they did when it started.'

The group writes in a new memo that Trump’s war in Iran has 'created new pathways for an expanded battleground map,' adding: 'Ohio and Alaska have moved to toss-up, and Iowa’s open seat has become one of the most competitive races in the country. None of that was true a year ago.'

Per the polling, Trump’s approval on the cost of living has fallen to severe lows within key battleground states, such as Maine (32%) and Michigan (34%). In redder states where Democrats are hoping to compete, Trump’s approval on cost of living isn’t great either: 38% in Alaska, 39% in Iowa, 39% in Ohio, and 40% in Texas.

'Every state we track has seen a drop of at least four points, and none of it bounced back during the brief ceasefire,' the group says. 'There is no reason to expect it improves now that fighting has resumed.'” (our emphasis)

Meanwhile, the MF is dismissive about affordability, and says that the rise in gas prices is "peanuts," as he rakes in unprecedented money from his crypto business and other scams that fleece his cult. If Dems don't use his out-of-touch statements to drive their poll numbers, they're guilty of political malpractice.

 

Trump's Fantasy Land

 



It's not only past Grandpa Cankles' bedtime, it's past 25th Amendment time:

President Donald Trump asked Americans on Thursday if they remembered a massive television outage two years ago.

That outage didn't happen. As he has before, the president who is fond of telling imaginary tales was explicitly asking people to recall something he had made up.

This time, Trump's fictional story was about wind energy. He has for years railed against it, tried to thwart it and made false claims about it – including a phony anecdote about how, in places where wind power is used, people can't turn on their TVs when the wind isn't blowing.

That isn't true; wind is used as part of a mix of electricity sources, not as the only source, so the grid keeps running and TVs stay on even when there is no breeze. (Also, there are batteries that can store energy from wind turbines for deployment during low-wind periods.) But Trump has often delivered the no-TV story with a comedic touch that has allowed it to skirt fact checks.

In his Thursday remarks at the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, he told it mostly as if it were a real reminiscence.

He denounced "the Green New Scam, where we were scammed." Then he said: "The whole country was – I wasn't scammed. I got it right from the beginning; I got it from the first minute when I heard this crap. You know? They were saying wind was so wonderful, so wonderful, except you couldn't watch your television. They wanted to watch the debate, Donald Trump against Sleepy Joe Biden. Nobody could watch it because the wind wasn't blowing. Remember that? 'Darling, we'd like to watch the debate tonight.' 'I'm sorry, the wind isn't blowing.'"

Uh, no.

Tens of millions of Americans watched his June 2024 debate with then-President Joe Biden – more than 51 million on television alone, according to Nielsen estimates. The viewers, of course, included people in the state that produced by far the most wind-powered electricity in 2024 and still produces by far the most today…Republican-dominated Texas, which is also the most populous state Trump won...

The world's most powerful nation has an increasingly demented, somnolent, dirt-dumb octogenarian wanting to control more and more of our lives, enabled by a fascist movement that threatens to kill our 250-year-old experiment in democracy.  What a bizarre, incredibly stupid  -- and dangerous -- time we're living in.
