Trump's Obscene Pay-to-Play Operation



 The Wall Street Journal reports today that the corrupt and mentally disturbed Malignant Fascist fundraising operation is nothing short of official bribery, asking corporations to donate millions of dollars in the expectation of getting access to his regime and policies written to their liking and profit.  The WSJ article is behind a paywall, but Election Law Blog has the text:

"Almost every night in the White House, President Trump calls his fundraiser, Meredith O’Rourke, for an update.

Trump asks O’Rourke which companies and donors have cut checks and which haven’t, and for how much. He often asks her to make much larger financial requests than she was planning—for some donors the ask is $5 million, for others it is $50 million. And the president gives her names to call, often including people who have recently met with him, according to people with knowledge of the calls

'This is very important to the president. He’s asked me to call you and ask you for this donation,' O’Rourke has relayed on phone calls with companies, persistently following up with them. In some calls, she has referred to Trump as the boss, saying 'the boss wants this money.' In turn, Trump has called her the “princess of darkness” because she is such a 'killer” with donors, according to people who have heard his comments. [snip]

Trump stands out for taking personal control of the fundraising, and no sitting American president has ever raised these amounts for his pet projects. At the same time, companies have paid new attention to the White House as Trump has gotten involved in regulatory decisions that once were made by independent agencies, dramatically shifting the balance of power across Washington.

Trump has been demanding large checks from companies for a range of political and legacy projects—telling executives and lobbyists that their companies should give $25 million or $50 million. He has sometimes offered donors special access."  (our emphasis)

The mob boss President has no problem shaking down companies to fund his personal projects and for other lawless activities, getting an underling to do the dirty work of collecting bribes.  The MF wouldn't be successful if it weren't for corrupt corporations willing to pay-to-play, and circumvent regulatory agencies and courts. Some of the ones noted in the article are familiar faces -- Amazon, Meta, Microsoft --whose CEOs show up at the MF's luncheons and social events to curry favor with the unhinged narcissist.  Each one should be investigated by a Dem Congress and pay the price for bribery when Dems control the White House.  In the meantime, State Attorneys General might use this article as a basis for legal action at the state level.

Weekend Music

 

We lost Irish singer/ songwriter/ actor Glen Hansard earlier this week at the too-young age of 56, killed in a motorbike accident near Dublin.  In addition to fronting his own band, The Frames, he was a frequent collaborator on the projects of other artists, including Eddie Vedder/ Pearl Jam, Bono, Bruce Springsteen, and Ed Sheeran.  His collaboration with Czech singer/ songwriter Markéta Irglová was in the form of the duo The Swell Season, who released their third studio album "Forward" last year.  The song we're featuring today is from an earlier time in their collaboration, "Falling Slowly" from the soundtrack to the Irish musical romance film "Once."  It's an achingly beautiful, melancholy composition, a coda to a promising life cut short.  R.I.P.

What's That Musk-y Smell? Campaign Cash & Satellites

 



South Afrikaner white supremacist and fascist Elon "Leon" Musk looks like he's going to put his dirty thumb on the scale for the mid-terms to help his floundering Rethug MAGAts.n From ABC News:

"Tech billionaire Elon Musk is getting ready to play in this year’s midterm elections, with an investment plan to help strengthen GOP turnout in the lead-up to November through his aligned super PAC, America PAC, a source familiar with the plan confirmed to ABC News.

America PAC will focus on door-knocking, digital advertising and direct mail aimed at Republican-leaning voters, including low-propensity voters who typically don’t vote in midterm elections, the source told ABC News.

The source could not confirm exactly how much Musk would invest in the midterms and in which states, but it is expected to be a high number.

The New York Times reported Thursday that Musk has authorized his super PAC to spend $100 million to $120 million on a new field program in several states to help elect Republicans in November. The Times reported that Musk's group plans to spend in the following Senate races: Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan and Ohio."  (our emphasis)

The billionaire sociopath spent hundreds of millions of dollars in 2024 to elect the mentally disturbed and failing Malignant Fascist, who subsequently gave the South Afrikaner wide authority -- much of it illegal as courts have ruled -- to deeply cut the Federal government's programs and employees. nHe's becoming infamous for his savage cuts to USAID, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths of children and women so far.  Anyone receiving his support should have his electorate be reminded of that, among other things.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has asked the ever-shifting MF to intervene with the South Afrikaner to allow his Starlink satellite service to operate over Russia, so that Russia's ballistic missile launch sites can be accurately targeted.  Currently, Starlink service is limited to Ukrainian territory, including that occupied by Russia.  You can be certain that if the MF asks Musk, it will be half-hearted and destined to fail because of the MF's subordination to Russian thug Putin.  And the evil Musk can never be counted on to do the right thing.

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.

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.
