Happy Labor Day! Trump is once again stranded on the back nine digging out of a sandtrap. As per the pool: In total, he has visited golf courses he owns on 66 of the 225 days of this term, meaning he has played golf at his courses on 29.3 percent of his days since Jan. 20.

This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.

Donald Trump upholds the law? Donald Trump never swore to uphold anything he couldn’t sell off. Speaking of which, has someone checked the National Archives recently to see if the Constitution is still there? www.salon.com/2025/08/29/a...
Who gives a shit what you think? substack.com/@aaronrupar/...
If there's a "crime wave" in the United States as POTUS claims, I wonder how much of it is because he pardoned 1500 rioters who tried to destroy the Capitol on Jan. 6?

Which way do you mean? Serious, of course you should be able to burn it, or seriously, you should NOT be able to burn it.
The "Man of the People" says "F**CK the People".
Question: The President of the United States says two news networks he opposes should be punished and burning the American Flag is no longer protected free speech. Do you approve? Why or Why not? Serious answers only please.
The only man I know who wants to get to heaven by lying, cheating, invading American cities, disparaging immigrants, stealing and threatening to “obliterate” anyone who doesn’t agree with him. Gosh, Jesus would be proud. Luke 6:46

I told you he'd keep the FIFA trophy!
The thing about that is: The people I've heard most screaming that those files should be released are the MAGA cult.
Trump just said the Epstein case was a Democratic Hoax. PROVE IT. Release the files.
Epstein Files?

I can see the headlines now! "President makes citizen's arrest of drunk, sleeping homeless person! Saves hiding squirrel's nuts" All hail our Savior and King! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Me too!
Why do you blame Biden for starting a war started by Vlad the Impaler Putin? Putin says war would never have started if Trump had been in office? What a load of crap. It started before Trump came to office - and Trump DID NOTHING in his first administration. PUTIN started it! PS: Epstein
by @briankarem.bsky.social "European leaders headed to the US to help Humpty Trumpty put himself together again. Trump invited Putin to AK to end the Ukraine war-which he promised he'd end 'Day One.' What happened? Trump applauded a war criminal" www.blueamp.co/p/trump-got-... Newsmax Settlement
“Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.”
"There's no deal til there's a deal. . . We didn't get there, but there is a good chance of getting there." WTF?
Absolutely NOTHING happened in Alaska. Well . . . Putin invited Trump to Moscow. Putin said the Ukraine war wouldn't have started if Trump were president. (It was ongoing when Trump was President). Both men walked off stage with NO DEAL. NO Questions. Nothing concrete.
On “Amped Up", co-host David Shuster used a word that rhymes w bro-knob re Trump/Putin🤣 @malcolmnance.bsky.social, a Navy guy, swore like 1! I revisited my vocab from 70s/80s "Warriors" NYC. It was a blast We got serious re AK Summit, Epstein. A Must Watch, My Friends! substack.com/home/post/p-...
Trump; the ultimate front man — a convicted felon who looks like a star but is really out on parole. He dictates demands to the world on Truth Social, ending each personal newsletter with “Thank you for your attention to this matter,” as if he’s a bill collector. www.salon.com/2025/08/15/t...
There is a great documentary out there about him. I'd recommend viewing.
Thank you for reading.
OH FFS. I have a picture of me holding a gun. Does that make me a terrorist? And prove that either of these photos are real.
I have a picture of me with Trump. Does that make me MAGA?

Donald Trump deflects from Epstein by threatening teenagers and the homeless: brianjkarem.substack.com/p/trump-says...
“They love to spit in the face of the police and they’re screaming at them and spitting at them. You spit and we hit. We hit real hard.” Police now can “Do whatever in the Hell they want.” “Time for dramatic action.” “We will bring in the military if needed.”

Trump is planning on meeting Putin in Alaska. Why? Is he going to sell it back?

My firm represents FBI Special Agent in Charge of Las Vegas Field Office Spencer Evans, a decorated 21 year veteran, who was just summarily fired by Dir #KashPatel. No due process. Fired because he followed COVID protocol instructions issued by Justice Dept back in 2021-22.

To say we’ve lost our way understates the matter. To say today’s politics is Orwellian is unkind to Orwell. That drama is in our rearview mirror — as is the “constitutional crisis.” Turns out - no crisis. GOP in congress were willing accomplices. Crisis averted. www.salon.com/2025/08/08/t...
Can you do both?
Today, a CA politician asked me, a Kentucky native with deep roots and close ties, a question I'm rarely asked outside of KY: "Do you think the Governor of KY is running for/would be a good President?" "Why?" "I think Republicans and Democrats would vote for him." Any Thoughts?

45 years ago - Today. Our first date. Still having fun!
Except no one will be able to report it because Trump got rid of all the reporters for Right Wing PR flaks.
Remember the part about "shooting the messenger"? This is a real Third World, Russian or North Korean propaganda move. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen Don. You don't get to burn down the house. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This is my concern: in order to detract from Epstein, what will Trump do? Today: 1. Placed 2 nuclear subs near Russia 2. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting closed. 3. Trump fired BLS Commissioner for a bad jobs report. What's next Don? www.salon.com/2025/08/01/t...

Regrets, he hasn’t had a few But then again, he’ll never mention. He did what he had to do And saw it through looking for exemptions; He never planned a charted course Each careless step along the byway And more, much more than this - Trump did it his way.
Racism isn’t patriotism. Pedophilia isn’t patriotic. Human trafficking is dehumanizing and a failure to act against any of the three is NOT what the U.S. is about.

Trump leads the way, with a reality show mentality, playing the same note he has played since he was actually on a reality show. And while Trump pretends to be a Christian, he rarely – if ever — adheres to the teachings of the Bible. www.salon.com/2025/07/10/t...

Donald continues to be the old man yelling at the wind: open.substack.com/pub/brianjka...
Trump says he will force reporters to give up their confidential sources. I have a few. You'll never get them. If you question that, I will remind you I've beaten you three times in court already - and I went to jail 4 times to protect a confidential source. You lose.
Who needs parody when you have Trump? In today's email he asks if I would vote to impeach him, and at the same time asks for a donation and he'll send me his gold, ahem, golf balls.
Just got done re-watching Trump's appearance in the briefing room. . .
