Trump On The Military And Military Service

 

The Week compiled a list last October of remarks Cadet Bone Spurs has made about the military and military service over the years.  We thought, on this of all days, attention should be paid to this hollow, grossly unfit person's true words and beliefs, rather than something an aide or speechwriter wrote for him.  Here are excerpts from the list:

On US military officials

"I don't want to tell you what I had to go through with these people. Some of the dumbest people I've ever met in my life." October 16, 2023.

"I wouldn't go to war with you people. You're a bunch of dopes and babies." July 20, 2017.

"You fucking generals. Why can't you be more like Hitler's generals?" 2017. Trump denies having made this remark.


On the burial of US Army private Vanessa Guillén

"It doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!" December 4, 2020. Trump has denied having made the remark.

On the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam for five and a half years

"Obamacare is a catastrophe, nobody talks about it. You know, without John McCain, we would have had it done. But John McCain, for some reason, couldn't get his arm up." July 16, 2024.  [snip]

"We're not going to support that loser's funeral." August, 2018. Trump has denied having made this remark.

 "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured, okay? I hate to tell you." July 18, 2015.

 

On lowering flags to half-mast after McCain's death

"What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser." August 2018. Trump has denied making this remark.  [snip]

On fallen soldiers at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery

"Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers." November 11, 2018. Trump denies having made this remark.

On the 1,800 US Marines who died at Belleau Wood in France during World War I

"Suckers." November 11, 2018. Trump denies having made this remark.

On US soldiers in World War I

"Who were the good guys in this war?" November 11, 2018. Trump denies having asked this question.

"I don't get it. What was in it for them?" November 11, 2018. Trump denies having made this remark.


On disabled veterans

"Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded." September 30, 2019.

"Look, I don't want any wounded guys in the parade. This doesn't look good for me." Summer 2017...

 

There's more deranged slop at the link above, if you care to refresh your memory.

Meanwhile, most recently, he downplayed the loss of life in his Operation Epic Epstein Fury distraction-gone-wrong (May 20, 2026):

We lost 13 people. In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people. I get a kick when I look at somebody on television and they say, 'he's lost 13 people.'

What a small, putrid, morally bankrupt thing he is.

The pardoning and now the planned rewarding of the mentally impaired Malignant Fascist's J6 goon army from his slush fund, along with his fortress / ballroom with a bunker and Army facilities has shown the MF's hand as someone looking to entrench himself beyond 2028.  Add to that his faithful masked thug force of ICE and Border Patrol whom he's already using as a personal paramilitary force.  The MF's "fuck you, try and stop me" strategy has worked so far, as he operates in his own interest. 

Please consider supporting Tom's work by going here.

 

Memorial Day 2026

 

Today, Memorial Day, we remember and honor the men and women who died serving their country in the U.S. Armed Forces.  We also remember and honor the military families who lost their service members.  We most humbly thank you and honor you all.

Across The Universe, Cont. -- Star-Forming Regions

 

(click on image to enlarge)

From NASA/ ESA, May 6, 2026: Astronomers have long known that understanding how star clusters come to be is key to unlocking other secrets of galactic evolution. Stars form in clusters, created when clouds of gas collapse under gravity. As more and more stars are born in a collapsing cloud, strong stellar winds, harsh ultraviolet radiation and the supernova explosions of massive stars eventually disperse the cloud, and their light can bear down on other star-forming regions in the galaxy. This process is called stellar feedback, and it means that most of the gas in a galaxy never gets used for star formation. Researching how star clusters develop can answer questions about star formation at a galactic scale.

Now, the state of the art has been further developed with both Hubble and Webb working together to provide a broad-spectrum view of thousands of young star clusters. An international team of astronomers has pored over images of four nearby galaxies from the FEAST observing programme (#1783), trying to solve this mystery. Their results show that it is the most massive star clusters that clear away their gaseous shroud the fastest, and begin lighting their galaxy the earliest.

The team identified nearly 9000 star clusters in the four galaxies in different evolutionary stages: young clusters just starting to emerge from their natal clouds of gas, clusters that had partially dispersed the gas (both from Webb images), and fully unobstructed clusters visible in optical light (found in Hubble images). With Webb’s ability to peer inside the gas clouds, they were able to then estimate the mass and age of each cluster from its light spectrum.

This image shows a section of one of the spiral arms of Messier 51 (M51), one of the four galaxies studied in this work, as seen by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). The thick clumps of star-forming gas are shown here in red and orange, representing infrared light emitted by ionised gas, dust grains, and complex molecules such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Within these gas complexes, each tens or hundreds of light years across, Webb reveals the dense, extremely bright clusters of massive stars that have just recently formed. The countless stars strewn across the arm of the galaxy, many of which would be invisible to our eyes behind layers of dust, are also laid bare in infrared light.

[Image description: A large, long portion of one of the spiral arms in galaxy M51. Red-orange, clumpy filaments of gas and dust that stretch in a chain from left to right comprise the arm. Shining cyan bubbles light up parts of the gas clouds from within, and gaps expose bright star clusters in these bubbles as glowing white dots. The whole image is dotted with small stars. A faint blue glow around the arm colours the otherwise dark background.]

QOTD -- "A Jockish, Puerile White Man"

 

"...Extreme though Hegseth may be, he is a recognizable type: a jockish, puerile white man, a boy you knew in your public high school, if you went to one. He is the Jersey Shore as much as he is Kansas, Florida, Texas, and Oregon. You may recall him as the guy who shoved queer kids into trash cans in the cafeteria and said things about girls like 'You’d need a crowbar to get her legs open.' As an adult, Hegseth is a man whom people have described leaving a bar, shit-faced, chanting 'No means yes!' and 'Kill all Muslims!' He is what the world thinks some Americans are, the bleakest caricature. But like the violence in the administration’s videos, Hegseth is real, and he is American, which means we have no choice but to ask what to do with him, and what to do with ourselves.

"This is a person produced by a culture, a society, and a history. He speaks with a deliberate viciousness, a desecration of humanity that recalls centuries of slavery and the American Indian Wars. He is heir to a tradition handed down from the Founders—not the noble, revolutionary ones in the history books but the ruthless, ragged genocidaires who went west. He practices that nasty Christianity. 'Break the teeth of the ungodly,' he said at the Pentagon prayer service; Bull Connor comes to mind. So many of Trump’s men—Gregory Bovino, Markwayne Mullin, Tom Homan—resemble the primeval thugs of the heartland, who openly desire the submission of the most vulnerable..." -- Suzy Hansen, writing in the New York Review of Books on several books presumably written by the dangerous sot "Whiskey Pete" Hegseth, the ludicrous Secretary of Defense (War!) and future (if there is justice in the world) war crimes defendant.  Fresh off a racist commencement address at West Point that was less-than-enthusiastically received, Hegseth continues to live down to the image Hansen sketches in her review, pleasing his only audience -- another "primeval thug," the Malignant Fascist.

Sunday Reflection: Forever Young Birthday

 

Legendary composer, poet, singer, and Nobel laureate for literature Bob Dylan (5/24/1941) is arguably the most significant figure in popular musical culture in the latter half of the 20th century, along with The Beatles.  His songs are poetry, which he transformed into memorable musical compositions. "Blowing In The Wind," "Like A Rolling Stone," "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright," and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" just scratch the surface of the body of his iconic songs.  His music spans 6 decades, from his heroic role in supporting the Civil Rights Movement to the present, from trenchant critiques of American prejudice to gospel music and love songs.  He launched his "Never Ending Tour" in 1988, and it remains active. 

One of his songs, "Forever Young," from his 1974 album "Planet Waves," expresses wishes from a father to his child, and is universal in its sentiment:

"May you grow up to be righteous

May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth

And see the light surrounding you

May you always be courageous

Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

May you stay forever young"

Happy 85th birthday to a forever young cultural giant.

 

The Mad King's Ballroom Obsession

 

The megalomaniacal, degenerate Malignant Fascist has long had delusions of majesty, typical of someone with a profound narcissistic personality disorder.  His frequent portrayals of himself as Jesus or a mythical hero support that.  One of his great obsessions for years has been a grand, golden ballroom on the grounds of the White House, and early in his disastrous second term he unilaterally tore down the historic East Wing of the White House in order to build a monstrous, 90,000 square foot monument to himself.  Paul Blumenthal, writing in the Huffington Post, lays out the history of his obsession with the golden ballroom, and what it says about his priorities. An excerpt:

"The ballroom is billed as a safety need for the administration, but in reality, it is just a safe haven, where the president can do what powerful elites, like the European nobility of yore, have always done in ballrooms — host lavish parties, state balls and dinners for foreign dignitaries outside of the public eye. The ballroom stands as a symbol of elite retreat from society and the anti-democratic reaction that grips the nation’s oligarchs at the moment. Trump’s wistful glances at the hole in the White House lawn show his desire to be securely encased from democracy in the glitz of a ballroom fit for Versailles.

This is the story of Trump’s second term. His ballroom then stands as a monument to his own narrow self-interest, elitism and disgust with the country’s longstanding democratic and republican culture that looks down on the trappings of monarchical excess."  (our emphasis)

After yesterday's shooting incident a block from the White House, the MF used the incident to again push for his absurd ballroom, which he has demanded $1.4 billion for, including $1 billion in "security enhancements" that include a bunker, health facility, and military space (!) that strike many as a fortress for the wannabe dictator's plans for a third, unconstitutional term.  For now, it stands as a symbol of how little he cares about the serious problems facing American families, which have been exacerbated by his destructive policies.

Republicans In Disarray Over Rumored Iran Deal

 

The hawks are pushing for more war as the Malignant Fascist claims an agreement with Iran is near:

Key Senate Republicans are raising concerns about a reported peace deal being negotiated with Iran, arguing it would be a disaster for the United States that would make meaningless the war launched by President Trump nearly three months ago.

“The rumored 60-day ceasefire — with the belief that Iran will ever engage in good faith — would be a disaster,” Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, wrote in a post on social platform X.

He said the effects of the joint military operation between the U.S. and Israel titled “Operation Epic Fury” would “be for naught” if the deal as he understood it went forward.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a close ally of President Trump who for years has pushed for U.S. military action against the Iranian regime, said a premature deal could fundamentally shift the balance of power in the Middle East in Iran’s favor.

“If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution,” Graham wrote Saturday in a post on X.

The South Carolina Republican added that such a perception would become a “nightmare for Israel” over time, questioning the rationale behind the war entirely.  [snip]

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who served in that role in the first Trump administration, also harshly criticized what he understood as the deal. He wrote in a post on X that it sounded as if it had been negotiated by officials working for the Obama administration. Both Trump and Pompeo have criticized the Iran deal negotiated by that administration as being too weak.

The deal being floated is “Not remotely America First,” Pompeo wrote.  [snip]

Later on Saturday, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung wrote on X that Pompeo “has no idea what … he’s talking about,” adding that Pompeo is “not read into anything that’s happening.” [Ed.:  he also said about Pompeo, "He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals."  Nice sanewashing!]

The president is facing growing pressure on multiple fronts to take measures to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as Americans face four-year record high gas prices, which hit a national average of almost $4.53 ahead of Memorial Day. 

Republicans fear they could lose their House majority in this fall’s elections amid falling approval ratings for Trump, and the Senate majority is also now seen as being within reach of Democrats...  (our emphasis)

And here we thought MAGA was all about no more foreign wars.  Silly us!

The deal Pompeo was referring to, of course, was the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), negotiated under Obama, which the moron Malignant Fascist tore up in 2018, because we can't have any credit given to a black Democratic President, can we!?

In any event, the future Graham, Wicker, and Pompeo fear is already here:  the blundering of the moron Malignant Fascist into a war with Iran (at the urging of Bibi Netanyahu) has already given Iran a strategic victory and de facto control over the Strait of Hormuz.  Turns out Iran had the cards all along.

"Epic Corruption In Plain Sight"

 

From Michael Waldman, Brennan Center for Justice, on the Malignant Fascist's "Epic Corruption in Plain Sight": 

"...There is a zone of lawlessness around the Oval Office, erected by the Supreme Court when it granted current and former presidents effective immunity from prosecution if their crimes involved 'official acts.' Loot the taxpayers, misuse government power for graft, and you’re off the hook.

Last week, the president filed a report with the Office of Government Ethics detailing the stock trades he made this year. It is a novelistic tale of profiteering, recognizable as insider trading in every way except, perhaps, under the law. 

Former U.S. Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer offers a useful guide.

In recent months, as Paramount and Netflix vied to buy Warner Brothers, Trump bought stock in all three companies. Now the Justice Department is considering whether to approve Paramount’s purchase of Warner Brothers.

As CNBC reported, Trump 'scooped up shares' in the data firm Palantir. Soon after, he abruptly praised the firm. 'Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has proven to have great war fighting capabilities and equipment,' Trump posted, even highlighting its ticker name. 'Just ask our enemies!!!' All this while Palantir was winning big federal contracts.

He invested in Oracle while brokering its deal to buy TikTok.

Just this week, he paraded off Air Force One in China, flanked by the CEOs of Nvidia and Boeing. Trump bought millions of dollars of Boeing stock before the trip, which led to the sale of 200 Boeing airplanes to the Chinese government. Among his biggest purchases has been Nvidia stock, which has seen steep increases after the U.S. government cleared 10 Chinese companies to purchase its advanced chips, in a big reversal from earlier national security concerns..." 

Financially stressed Americans going about their daily lives may only be getting a fraction of the fraction of the corporate media's coverage of the MF's corruption, if that.  (Some have said, beyond the risk they run for angering the unstable MF, the notion of the MF's corruption is already "baked in" and, therefore, not much a story for them -- which, of course, allows him to get away with just short of murder.)  This fog of cowardice/ exhaustion needs to be overcome by a strong focus on the MF's corruption during the campaign season and beyond.  It's not only a righteous focus, but a politically potent one for Democrats.

The Epstein-Trump Files Nationwide Bus Tour

 

Overdue, and maybe coming to a town near you:

A New York installation displaying millions of physical files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein will be going nationwide.

Organizers behind the popular “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room” exhibit are taking the concept on a nationwide bus tour this summer, the Daily Beast has learned.

The exhibit, currently on display in New York’s upscale TriBeCa neighborhood, showcases thousands of printed volumes of files connected to Epstein.

Miles Taylor, an organizer of the tour and former Trump DHS official turned Trump antagonist, said that visitors to the New York exhibit have been “completely blown away” by the sheer volume of information the government had on the sex pest. 

“Folks who came in, with no personal connection to the situation, people would leave in tears, because by the time you get to the end of it, it was a very powerful experience of sexual assault survivors that’s told through this exhibition,” he told the Daily Beast in an interview.

The current display in lower Manhattan, just blocks from the jail where Epstein was found dead in his cell in 2019, has welcomed a steady stream of visitors since opening on May 8.

The exhibit puts a particular focus on Epstein’s long friendship with President Donald Trump, which ended sometime in the 2000s. The president’s name is mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein files, although he has denied any wrongdoing. 

“The Epstein files for a lot of folks are a news abstraction, and I think for people who visited, all of a sudden, it becomes an understanding of the magnitude of the victims and the survivors, and also how deep the relationship goes between Trump and Epstein,” Taylor said.

“People have a superficial appreciation of that, but then you go there, you see the survivors’ memorial, you see the physical timeline, you see the literal weight of the literally tons and tons of printed files,” he added. “It blows people away.”

On the nationwide tour, organizers expect celebrities to drive the bus at times, and said they have received outreach from lawmakers and congressional candidates who want to make the tour part of their campaigns.

The tour is expected to launch after the July 4 holiday, but the specific stops and dates are still being finalized. Organizers are hoping it will remain on the road until the 2026 midterm elections, which are expected to be a catastrophe for Republicans...

Well try to keep you apprised of the stops and dates planned.  

The importance of continually reminding Americans of the Malignant Fascist's close, sordid friendship with Epstein/ Maxwell and subsequent felonious cover- up of criminal pedophile actions and actors, including by the squalid p.o.s. occupying the Oval Office, cannot be overemphasized.  It's the largest sex trafficking/ pedophile scandal in American history, and the fact that the Malignant Fascist is so deeply implicated (more than 38,000 mentions in the Epstein-Trump files!) demands that this is kept in front of the news until victims get the justice they deserve.  This bus tour deserves our support.

Gabbard's Betrayal And Comeuppance

 

With Dem turncoat and hollow opportunist Tulsi Gabbard being pushed out as the Director of National Intelligence, it's clear that her influence over the corrupt Malignant Fascist's destructive policies was nil and that she tried to worm her way into his good graces by conspiracy mongering. From CNN:

"Months before announcing her resignation Friday, citing her husband’s diagnosis of a rare form of bone cancer, Gabbard was routinely sidelined from some of the administration’s biggest foreign policy decisions of Trump’s second term.

When Trump’s national security team gathered at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Day to watch the US operation in Venezuela unfold, Gabbard was thousands of miles away posting pictures on social media from a beach in her home state of Hawaii.

Ahead of Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear sites last summer, Gabbard posted a video warning that the world is 'closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before,' which angered Trump and the White House and put her on the sidelines." (our emphasis)

Her former beliefs that wars of regime change and international intervention were contrary to U.S. interests were set on the shelf as she declined to resign as the MF attacked Venezuela and Iran.  Instead, she focused on conspiracy theories involving the 2020 election:

"While Gabbard was sidelined when it came to international deliberations, she shared Trump’s suspicions of the so-called 'deep state.' Rooting out those perceived as being against Trump’s interests in the intelligence community became a main focus of her time as DNI." (our emphasis)

That prompted her absurd and controversial declassification moves and presence in Atlanta as FBI agents searched boxes of ballots and other records related to the 2016 and 2020 election:

"She declassified documents from the intelligence community’s assessment on 2016 Russian election interference in order to claim President Barack Obama was behind a 'treasonous conspiracy' against Trump. She took voting machines in Puerto Rico to try to prove baseless claims of election rigging. And in January, pictures of Gabbard on the scene in Fulton County, Georgia, as FBI agents seized ballots from the 2020 election raised serious questions over why Trump would want his top spy chief present — given that the DNI is barred from domestic law enforcement operations." (our emphasis)

There will be mourning for Gabbard in the Kremlin, whose state media referred to her as "our girl Tulsi" for her seeming embrace of Russia's interests.  It's clear that Gabbard was willing to do anything to be close to power, dumping her "principles" and going from an anti-interventionist supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders to a senior position with the odious bully MF.  Her political career is likely wrecked, and so it should be.  The fewer Gabbards we have in civic life, the better.

Tomorrow's World Yesterday

 

We have two clips from BBC Archive from 40 years ago, one concerning the latest technology at the time, and the other asking children in 1986 how they foresaw the future in 2020 (when they talk about robots and computers, think AI).  The more things change, the more they stay the same.
