Trump has debased everything else--including his official residence--so why not?

Wondering how much conniving, wheeler-dealing, and infighting is going on inside the inner circle and its environs for the rights to the mantle of real, and not just figurehead, successor.

The kindest thing I can say about the Chief Justice is that he's a flaming mediocrity. Thomas is a corrupt-to-his-eyeballs bribe taker; Alito, a 17th-century urchin running amuck in the 21st; and the last three appointees, oath-breaking liars about their commitment to precedent. What could go wrong?

So now Tulsi Gabbard has disclosed the name of an undercover CIA officer. What the hell else has to happen before the senators who confirmed her appointment as DNI call for her to resign? Or don't they give a damn about national security? Oh, wait a minute. They confirmed Hegseth, too, didn't they.

It's also a graphic depiction of the massive waste of taxpayer dollars on a bogus law enforcement mission for which our military is neither trained nor intended.

A Radio Shack Color Computer purchased in the early '80s for my youngest son, but "appropriated" occasionally by his dad to learn BASIC and serve as the springboard for *my* first real computer, an MS-DOS-based Tandy 2000 on which I frolicked with WordPerfect, Lotus, and dBase.
Jim Treanor (@jimtranr.bsky.social) reply parent
Time we stop screwing around by calling what's going on "authoritarianism". The wholesale suspension of due process, the lowering of FBI recruiting standards, & the naked use of military force to police cities smells more like "tyranny", "dictatorship", or "fascism". Liberty's on the line, folks.

Don't hold your breath. He's likely to ban that, too.
Jim Treanor (@jimtranr.bsky.social) reply parent
I'd scrub the "if" and the "may be". Trump's in this up to his [fill in the anatomical blank], while Blanche is burnishing his credentials for his post-Administration career as a mob lawyer.

"...a gentleman in all respects." That's the tipoff. Because we all know better. He demonstrates his crudity at every opportunity. This is an orchestrated attempt to erase every one of his underage victims...and, by extension, Epstein's as well. "Monster" is too generous a description of this woman.

How long before Donald begins hawking--for profit, of course--the official Trump-certified brown shirt?
Jim Treanor (@jimtranr.bsky.social) reply parent
The point here is that going after a prominent who is at least theoretically on their side of the political spectrum signals to Trump-allied politicians that they'd better stay in line or face, at minimum, expulsion from the club and the ending of their political careers. Fear's a powerful motivator

So much for the professional courtesy accorded Rubio by the Senate with its 99-0 confirmation vote. He didn't deserve it then--he's never demonstrated the gravitas he worked so hard to project--and he's now part, parcel, and facilitator of the utter destruction of soft power once wielded by the US.

One has to wonder if Putin didn't bring up what the SVR and GRU know about the Epstein files to focus Trump on what *Vlad* wants.

"Little white noodle." Perfect.
Jim Treanor (@jimtranr.bsky.social) reply parent
Might the subservience reflected in that photo and the Alaska "summit" outcome suggest just how much the SVR and GRU know about Trump's ties to Jeffery Epstein?

Jim Treanor (@jimtranr.bsky.social) reply parent
"Flustered" is a normal condition when you're Trump's Secretary of State. Rubio knew what he was getting into when he accepted the appointment, banking on it to be his 2028 steppingstone to the White House. Demonstrates just how bright he isn't and how poor his judgment is. Sucking up is hard to do.

Left unspoken: "He knows that our intelligence services have everything the public would like to know about him and that Epstein fellow. So he really had no leverage to begin with. But he did give our leader a much appreciated photo op. At no cost to us."
