Wanna bet this is one of the reasons Barr (i.e. Trump) wanted to replace Berman with a yes-man last week?

Regarding the mango Fuckopotomus Bunker Bitch's cognitive exam.  A couple of physicals ago, I remember reading he passed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.  It's a 30 point assessment that asks very hard questions like who are you, where are you, draw a clock etc.  It's just a screener not a a full neuropsychological battery.

Looks like the Fuckmuppet / Beer Bong Weenie Waver love affair is over.

According to Jonathan Lemire of the Associated Press, Donald Trump is reportedly focusing his ire on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, along with Neil Gorsuch,  for siding with the majority of justices who ruled on Thursday that the state of New York must be given his tax returns as part of a criminal investigation.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” with co-host Willie Geist, Lemire was asked how the president — and the White House — are reacting to the setback for the president.

“He’s had a series of setbacks from the Supreme Court in recent weeks, and to this point, though some of his anger has been directed at Chief Justice [John] Roberts who has frustrated him according to our reporting more or less since he took office, in the last few weeks, and particular yesterday, it was on Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, a real sense of betrayal, as one person close to the president put it to me,” he added.

Poor baby fuck face.

And Fuckmuppet is getting mocked over his postponing his hate fest

Quote

Donald Trump took to Twitter to explain that he has postponed his rally in New Hampshire on Saturday due to bad weather.  Reports in that the area show that the weather would be fine by the time the campaign event was scheduled to begin.

Needless to say, after the president’s poorly attended rally in Tulsa a few weeks ago, Twitter users were skeptical about the reasoning for moving the rally out a few weeks from the postponement date.

Anndddd... Trump commuted Roger Stone’s sentence.

Bitter truth:

 

[WiseGirl]

"Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump Presidency," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement. "There was never any collusion between the Trump Campaign, or the Trump Administration, with Russia."

I posted a link in the Roger Stone thread.

After hearing reports earlier this week (month?- every day seems the same this year) that Trump cheated on his SAT, he had to brag about the only test he's passed with flying colors (or, as my Latin teacher would say, Magna Cum Laude instead of Magna Cum Lucky).

"New York judge gives Trump deadline in lawsuit over tax returns following major Supreme Court ruling"

Spoiler

NEW YORK — A federal judge in Manhattan has given lawyers for President Trump a Wednesday deadline to say whether he will further challenge a subpoena for his tax documents, part of an ongoing investigation by local prosecutors here into hush money payments made during the 2016 election season.

The order by U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero follows Thursday's highly anticipated Supreme Court ruling in favor of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who had been seeking the president's tax records as part of a probe into the Trump Organization's role in the payments. In its ruling, the high court said Trump did not have "absolute immunity" from the state court-level criminal subpoena.

Trump could, however, further contest the grand jury subpoena outside of the presidential immunity question. The subpoena was issued Aug. 29 and has been tied up in appeals as part of a lawsuit brought by Trump since shortly thereafter.

"We will respond as appropriate," Trump attorney Jay Sekulow said after Marrero's order Friday setting July 15 as the deadline by which the parties must say if there will be additional legal challenges.

Marrero, in the two-page order, also scheduled a phone conference for Thursday to discuss future proceedings, should the litigation continue.

Vance is investigating whether the Trump Organization falsified business records to conceal alleged payoffs in exchange for silence made ahead of the 2016 election to two women who claimed they had affairs with Trump years ago. Trump has denied the allegations.

Lawyers from Vance's office previously argued that delays could jeopardize their ability to file charges if any are warranted. The statute of limitations for a misdemeanor falsifying business records count has already passed, and the five-year deadline by which to bring a felony-level case is approaching.

In public filings, lawyers for Vance's office said the records requested "relate to business and financial matters unrelated to any official acts" of the president "and are primarily from the time-period before [Trump] assumed that office."

A spokesman for Vance declined to comment Friday.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court shot down Trump’s argument that, as president, he is immune from legal action on a local level and from investigations conducted by Congress. In its Trump v. Vance ruling, the court sent the cases back to lower courts, where, the justices said, Trump also could challenge the specifics of Vance’s inquiry. The ruling said Vance had the authority to look into Trump’s financial records — personal and financial.

Trump’s lawsuit tried to block Vance from being able to subpoena the president’s tax records from his accounting firm, Mazars USA, arguing that he was immune from facing criminal charges in a local court while in office — a claim his personal attorneys have also made in a set of lawsuits pending in New York.

Vance, who called the landmark ruling “a tremendous victory for our nation’s system of justice,” has been investigating whether the Trump Organization doctored records to conceal hush money payments to two women during Trump’s 2016 campaign. One of the women is outspoken pornography actress Stormy Daniels.

The payments were made by Trump’s longtime personal lawyer and adviser Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to charges related to campaign finance fraud and tax evasion. Cohen, who had been allowed to serve the remainder of his prison term at home due to coronavirus concerns, was returned to federal custody this week due to a dispute over his home confinement conditions.

Trump could raise a host of new challenges to the Mazars USA subpoena. Details of his tax filings, which he has staunchly refused to release to the public voluntarily as sitting presidents have traditionally done, are not likely to be made public in any fashion before November’s election as both challenges are expected to face further litigation.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., writing the majority opinion in the 7-to-2 ruling in Trump v. Vance, wrote that the public was entitled to “every man’s evidence,” which “since the earliest days of the Republic” has “included the President of the United States.”

Okay... Trump needs to either lose weight or buy bigger shirts.  The neck is disgusting.  Or is he just such a horrible person that his body is growing another ass right above his tie??

And, yes, he finally wore a mask.  It only took about 134,000 dead Americans to convince him that it might be a good idea to wear a mask in a hospital.

Donald Trump’s initial reaction to the devastating hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico in 2017 were to suggest that the United States sell, or “divest” from the territory, a former acting secretary of Homeland Security said on Friday. Elaine Duke, who served as Trump’s second secretary of Homeland Security, replacing John Kelly when he became Trump’s chief-of-staff, has become the latest former Trump cabinet member to speak out against her old boss, telling the New York Times in an interview this past week that Trump cares little about policy, and uses “hate-filled, angry and divisive” language.

Trump rips private Texas border wall built by his supporters

Quote

HOUSTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday criticized a privately built border wall in South Texas that’s showing signs of erosion months after going up, saying it was “only done to make me look bad,” even though the wall was built after a months-long campaign by his supporters.

The group that raised money online for the wall promoted itself as supporting Trump during a government shutdown that started in December 2018 because Congress wouldn’t fund Trump’s demands for a border wall. Called “We Build the Wall,” the group has raised more than $25 million promoting itself as supporting the president.

Former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon joined the group’s board and Trump ally Kris Kobach became its general counsel. Kobach is now seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Kansas.

The company that built the private section in January, North Dakota-based Fisher Industries, has since won a $1.3 billion border wall contract from the federal government, the largest award to date.

The section in question is a roughly 3-mile (5-kilometer) fence of steel posts just 35 feet (10 meters) from the Rio Grande, the river that forms the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas. That’s much closer to the river than the government ordinarily builds border barriers in South Texas because of concerns about erosion and flooding that could violate U.S. treaty obligations with Mexico.

Trump tweeted Sunday in response to a ProPublica-Texas Tribune report that the riverbank has started to erode. A federal judge on Wednesday ordered attorneys for Fisher Industries and opponents of the private wall to set a schedule for experts to visit the site and inspect any erosion.

“I disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads,” Trump wrote. “It was only done to make me look bad, and perhaps it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles.”

Tommy Fisher, CEO of Fisher Industries, said Sunday that he thought the president “just got some misinformation on this stuff” and that he had “complete respect” for Trump.

Fisher acknowledged that there had been some erosion on the land in front of the fencing caused by rain and the natural flow of the river. He said his crews planned to install more organic material to fill the gaps or insert rock if erosion continues, but that other parts of the wall remained untouched.

“The wall will stand for 150 years, you mark my words,” Fisher said.

Experts and people who live and work near the property have warned that building so close to the river would cause flooding or a break in the fence. And a binational commission earlier this year found that the project violates U.S. treaty obligations and called on Fisher to make changes.

Marianna Trevino Wright, executive director of the nonprofit National Butterfly Center, has long opposed the project and warned it could damage the center, which is adjacent to where the private wall was being built.

“It is troubling that President Trump admits to prior knowledge of this project — one he should have insisted comply with U.S. law, rather than proceed in violation of it,” she said Sunday.

Originally promoted by We Build the Wall, the private section instead became a showcase for Fisher, who has promoted his company heavily on Fox News and conservative media. We Build the Wall ultimately provided about $1.5 million for the project and Kobach said in a previous court hearing that his group was mostly providing “social media cheerleading.” We Build the Wall’s founder, Brian Kolfage, did not return a phone message Sunday.

In May, Fisher Industries won a $1.3 billion contract to build 42 miles (68 kilometers) of wall in Arizona. The wall will be painted black because “that’s what the president wanted, plain and simple,” said U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer, a North Dakota Republican, in May. Cramer said then that he personally pitched the company to Trump.

Another $400 million contract Fisher won last year was placed under review by the defense department’s inspector general.

This needs to get some traction.  Putin's puppet appears to be laundering money.  Why won't the reporters cover this instead of "Donny and his drama over masks" or "Donny and his constant resentments"??  I guess they think the average reader won't follow the story because it would take more than five minutes to consider and process.

I am so exasperated with how he's covered by the media.
