QOTD -- Flunking Trump

 


"... Trade is cooperation. A farmer gets a customer. A factory gets a component. A family gets a product. An American business gets a buyer abroad.

The trade war threw sand in all of it. It disrupted export markets. It disrupted supply chains. It disrupted investment. It disrupted relationships with allies. Then it added uncertainty and stirred.

A stronger America has more customers, more suppliers, more trusted partners, and more capacity to make the things it needs. This trade war has delivered fewer of every one of them..."-- economics professor Justin Wolfers, on his "Platypus Economics" Substack, summarizing his answer to the question "Did Trump’s Tariffs Achieve Trump’s Goals?"  Wolfers provided flunking grades to the Malignant Fascist based on the MF's own promises, i.e., that tariffs would 1) give America leverage for getting better trade deals;  2) that they would reduce the trade deficit;  3) that they would spark an industrial revival;  4) that they would strengthen national security; and 5) that they would raise revenue.  

The sub- literate MF's lack of understanding of basic economics, coupled with his self-interested, craven "advisors," have given us the tragic results that were predicted from the outset of his mad tariff dominance-display exercise.  What's left of his mind is fixed in the mercantilism of the 19th Century, while the rest of the world advances in the 21st.


Psychiatrist: Trump More Dangerous Than Ever

 



Dr. Henry Abraham, a psychiatrist who shared in the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in the prevention of nuclear war, was a guest on Dean Obeidallah's SiriusXM radio program.  He spoke about the unhinged and corrupt Malignant Fascist's mental decline and danger to the world:

It’s subtle in terms of his mental status because a lot of it is more of the same. But when you get confirmatory evidence that points in the same direction again and again, after a while you sort of know what you’re dealing with and you kind of know what needs to be done.” [snip]

I mean, if an airline pilot had half of the symptoms that the president of the United States has, we would not let him on an airplane; we certainly wouldn’t want to fly with him. We wouldn’t want a neurosurgeon to walk into the operating room and operate on — this doesn’t make sense — and yet, we have a system which enfolds the president’s health in a shroud of secrecy.” [snip]

“When a person has sole access to the nuclear armamentaria, it’s crazy, and this is what we’re doing. I think we’re in even more danger of Donald Trump using a nuclear weapon in a fit of pique or rage or confusion or poor impulse control than ever before. So yes, he’s more dangerous.”  (our emphasis)

Watch the whole, chilling interview.  In terms of the psychiatric treatment of a mentally unstable person, there's what's known as a "duty to warn" the community if the person represents a threat.  It was the subject of a 2017 book by eminent mental health professionals in "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President", who warned about Trump's extreme malignant narcissism, paranoia and sociopathy.  That was 9 years ago, and he's only getting worse.

BONUS:  Recent confirmation of Dr. Abraham's opinion of the sociopathic narcissist (and laser focused on the problems and needs of Americans!)  --


 




Gloria Steinem, 1934-2026

 



An American hero, feminist, and icon of the equal rights movement, Gloria Steinem, has passed away at the age of 92:

Gloria Steinem, the indefatigable feminist and journalist whose activism revolutionized the personal and professional lives of women, has died. She was 92.

Steinem “passed away peacefully at her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her,” a post on her official Instagram page said Thursday. It added that she died on Wednesday, although it did not give a cause of death.

“Gloria’s near-century on earth were years well-lived, and she continued working for equality until the very end,” the post said.

She “lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humor,” the statement added. It hailed her ability to welcome hundreds of guests into her living room for so-called “Talking Circles,” and was committed to using her home as a “center for social justice movements.”

Her representatives asked her fans to light a candle in her honor and for donations to be made to her Gloria’s Foundation charity.

Steinem dedicated her life to causes ranging from reproductive freedom and domestic violence prevention to workplace gender inequalities.

She was the face of a movement that radically changed rights for women so they could eventually apply for credit cards without a man’s signature, be admitted to Ivy League schools that previously barred them and legally get an abortion in the United States...

She helped make lives better for millions around the world.  That's a legacy to be proud of.

More about her impactful life at the link above.  R.I.P.

Democrats Behaving Badly

 

One of our favorites is reportedly acting badly:

... [Rep. Jasmine] Crockett should be trying hard to ensure that Talarico wins. She’s not. “I personally don’t feel like the excitement necessarily exists within the Black community. Right now, I don’t feel like they’re excited,” Crockett said on the Front Page podcast recently of Talarico’s candidacy. That might sound like Crockett just giving a political analysis. And it’s likely that Talarico (like most candidates) has work to do to improve his standing among Black voters.

But Crockett has suggested several times over the last few months that Talarico is running a lackluster campaign, particularly with regard to appealing to Black voters. She could air those critiques in private. Or she could campaign aggressively for Talarico to Black voters, to address this shortage of excitement that she is asserting. She’s doing neither. She refused to speak at the Texas Democrats’ convention in June, even after Talarico reportedly personally called and asked the congresswoman to give the keynote address. She has suggested that she will campaign for other Democratic candidates in Texas but not Talarico...

For her own political future, not to mention for the sake of Texas and the nation, we hope this is a brief aberration.  Disappointing, but easy to address if she does the right thing right now.

We can't have this in this race, or in any race this year.  We're in a struggle to save American democracy, and egos, hurt feelings, and grievances need to be put aside in the greater fight against fascism.

Whistleblower: Catastrophe Coming For Mail-In Voting

 


The corrupt and criminal Malignant Fascist sees the handwriting on the wall for the upcoming mid-terms, so he's been doing his worst to rig them, from gerrymandering voting districts to attempting to impose voter ID restrictions.  Now, his move to undermine mail-in voting has brought forth a whistleblower at the U.S. Postal Service, which is central actor in the MF's rigging scheme.  From ABC News:

"An anonymous government employee whistleblower has come forward to Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, warning that a 'rushed, chaotic and fundamentally flawed' effort by the U.S. Postal Service to implement President Donald Trump's mail-in ballot executive order risks a 'catastrophic failure' of the election system that could 'derail the midterm elections.'

The whistleblower's concerns were made public in a report released by Blumenthal, who said in a release Tuesday morning that the allegations show that the system USPS is creating to track mail-in balloting is 'set up to fail -- and risk the right to vote for millions of Americans who cast their ballots by mail.'

The whistleblower is described in the report as someone with direct knowledge of potentially "catastrophic problems" in the development of the USPS' new electronic federal mail ballot portal. [snip]

The whistleblower described a 'secretive, rushed, chaotic and fundamentally flawed process' creating and implementing an 'untested' federal ballot mail portal that USPS will use to screen ballots.

The rushed effort to create the portal could cause 'significant operating' problems and the failure to verify ballots this November, the whistleblower said. It could also mean, the report alleges, that 'potentially millions of American voters may not receive their mail-in ballot this election cycle in a timely manner or at all.'

The report details a 'slapdash' production process for the new IT software, which the whistleblower alleges hasn't been sufficiently tested or debugged. At the time of report, the whistleblower said there was insufficient time to test the system before a Sept. 1 deadline to deliver it." (our emphasis)

Of course, USPS efficiency was never the concern of the MF, who is only seeking to sow chaos in the mid-terms (which are looking more and more like a Dem wave) and to discourage voters from voting at all.  The U.S. District Court  for Massachusetts now has the whistleblower's report and analysis to use in determining whether a permanent injunction on the MF's scheme is required.  That determination should come swiftly; eventually, on to the Republican SCOTUS.

 

Rotten Apple

 



News item #1

Apple has renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America on its Maps app, after an order from US President Donald Trump as part of Washington's trade spat with Canada.

The change was made for US-based users, while those in Canada will continue to see Lake Ontario displayed...

News item #2:

Apple‘s new CEO John Ternus officially took over the company Tuesday, and the veteran tech executive will be getting a hefty pay raise alongside the new title and responsibilities.

According to an SEC filing Tuesday afternoon, Ternus will receive a $3 million salary, paired with annual equity awards valued at $55 million. He will also receive a one-time prorated $2.5 million RSU grant. His annual equity award will see 25 percent of shares vest over time, and the remaining 75 percent vesting based on Apple’s performance compared to other companies in the S&P 500 index.

The nature of equity grants and RSUs means that the final value of the shares he received will depend on what happens with Apple’s stock price.

Meanwhile, former Apple CEO Tim Cook will still receive a hefty compensation package in his new role as executive chair. Cook will receive a $2 million salary alongside a $45 million equity award, with half vesting over time, and the other half vesting based on Apple’s performance...

The Epstein class oligarchs like Tim "Apple" Cook, who earned 533 times more than the average Apple worker, are compensating themselves handsomely compared to their workers as they bow the knee to their fellow Epstein class oligarch/ president, the Malignant Fascist.  Today, with this petty crap, that dynamic rankles more than ever.

In a better world, Democrats will have the sack and moral clarity, once back in office, to cap and claw back the obscene compensation packages, and end the New Gilded Age of public and corporate corruption and collaboration with fascists.  In the meantime, remember the collaborators.  Oh...  and change their maps.

BONUS:  As we've noted, MapQuest refused to bend the knee on "Lake America,"  "Gulf of America," etc.  Reward them by downloading their free app!

QOTD -- Losing A Sense Of Who We Are

 

"... When we try to name everything after ourselves, we lose a sense of who we are. What is “America” if it is hollowed out as bluster, over and over again? Who are “Americans” if we serve as the brand name of one man’s flailing imperialism?

If we want some kind of self-definition, if we want to get through this self-made catastrophe, the words “United” and “States” are worth remembering, and stressing. They name our constitutional republic.

To have states is to have a form of politics that goes beyond the grasp of a single man. And to be united is to have a larger sense of the history and the future of the people. We lose that dignified sense of purpose when we allow power to remain in the hands of someone who understands neither unity nor statehood, who seeks only to divide us for personal profit, who cares nothing for the continued existence of our country, who senselessly alienates those who have been our loyal friends." -- Timothy Snyder, concluding an essay in his "Thinking About..." Substack on "Our Trade War Against Ourselves."  Snyder writes about the Malignant Fascist's insane trade war with Canada and the various inane byproducts ("Lake America"), and how it not only demonstrates that the MF has no understanding of how markets work, but that "... it is entirely possible to be both morally wrong and geopolitically weak. And his weakness becomes our weakness, his nihilism our national embarrassment, or really tragedy."  Good read.

Your Taxpayer Dollars At Work, Cont.

 



It may not rank up there with the Malignant Fascist's $600-900 million Golden Ballroom/ Fรผhrerbunker, or his $100 million triumphal arch, but still:

President Donald Trump’s White House is planning more than $250,000 in work on its private bowling alley, reviving a renovation target that previously sparked Republican outrage over taxpayer spending during the Obama administration.

The General Services Administration awarded a nearly $253,000 contract on July 28 for lighting work at the two-lane Harry S. Truman Bowling Alley, according to public contract awards reviewed and reported on by Politico on Monday. The contract was awarded under the Executive Office of the President to Charles Mann Enterprises.

The company received another $8,800 contract on Aug. 18 for escort services related to the project, which entails accompanying outside workers through secure areas. Neither the White House nor GSA immediately responded to Politico’s request for comment.

Republican cult hypocrisy alert!

The project comes 12 years after GSA attempted a much more extensive renovation under former President Barack Obama, the outlet noted. In 2014, the agency proposed completely rebuilding the lanes, which it deemed “irreparable.”

Yet that plan lasted only about 90 minutes after Time reported on it before GSA canceled the project as Republicans criticized the prospect of using taxpayer money on the bowling alley...

We await the Republican weasel cult outcry on this, just as we await their outcry on the ballroom, the arch, the Epstein-Trump files coverup, the war with Iran, the trade wars with Canada and other allies, the $2 billion the MF amassed since January 2025, etc. ad nauseam.

Also, what would the morbidly obese MF want with a refurbished bowling alley?  It's inconceivable that the human bowling ball rolled a ball down an alley in the last 75 years, if ever.   Someone notify fraud czar JD Vance that there's fraud, waste, and abuse going on right under his nose!
