PBS should do a live pay-per-view of the removal of Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center with Stephen Colbert as the host.

As of June 4th, the Kennedy Center’s portal is still vandalized. Until it is fixed, I see no reason to purchase any tickets.

Trump is complaining the all those (paraphrasing) “third rate, boring, untalented artists” are dropping out of his Freedom 250 scam. Dude - you picked them! And when they discovered they were lied to and dropped out, you tried to trash them.

You can’t un-ring a bell. Trump is saying “never mind” but the shenanigans that got us here are criminal.

To paraphrase, Trump says he is “giving back the Kennedy Center” to Congress. You brain addled piece of crap, you never owned it! You just smeared your shit on the walls. You going to give Greenland back to Denmark next?

Here’s the deal for those confused: “America 250” is the bipartisan celebration committee. “Freedom 250” is a Trump organization celebrating him masquerading as a celebration of America. The concert was Freedom 250. Hence the cancellations

Batshit crazy.

Dept of Treasury proposing a $250 bill with Dear Leader on it is probably one of the most tone deaf things ever to come from this administration.

The blindness towards conflicts of interest in a zeal to curry favor with Trump is just astonishing.

Setting an arena on the White House lawn for a bloodsport spectacle for Trump's birthday is disgusting. This is Roman emperor level crap.

Cool, the administration has announced a potential for a concept of a plan. MAGA bit once, think they will bite again?

I love the councils motto “Books Are Weapons in the War of Ideas." I also accept that there was probably a fair degree of propaganda in the selection of titles but you cold choose wisely.

Listening to Trump explaining how he was so smart and witty when he came up with “dumocrats” by adding an “o” and removing the “b” because people don’t know there is a b in there was painful. Who dresses him in the morning? The crowd was “wetsu” - we eat this shit up. Sad

Tired of winning yet?

The administration really thinks the American public is fucking stupid. Do they really think that scrubbing their own website will eliminate all traces of their attempted coup?

That part

Call Trumps slush fund for what it is, a cop beater fund.

Trump is pathetically attempting to wave a shiny object to a distract from his serial failures. And the Epstein files. He is a pedophile protecter.

At least we know the price to pay for getting your very own department.

Not sure where Trump thinks he is going get that $1.776b. Maybe in the sofa cushions after JD is finished? Last time I checked, money comes from congressional appropriations. And there seems to be very little appetite in the hallways to hand over that amount without any accountability.

This is a great read/listen. The country has a lot of problems but the reality is that most of Trump’s pronouncements are essentially as worthless as his ethics.

Some folks are expecting Massie to go scorched earth feral after losing his primary. I don’t believe it. He is still deeply Republican and now a lame duck in an area that expects red meat delivered daily. Still a thorn in Trump’s side but has no legs to continue.

A normal DOJ would have a field day with the debacle surrounding the Trump cell phones. Bait and switch? Fraud? Instead, crickets. How far the DOJ has fallen.

Huh - I learned today that the US government actually OWNS an existing “ballroom” in DC, the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium. Big, spacious, can seat 1,000. I’ll bet for a scant million or three, security could be upgraded to world class.

Trump is now having DOJ pay traitors, criminals, and insurrectionists. With our tax dollars. Who says crime doesn’t pay.

Driving around rural northern Virginia, I’m seeing a lot of farmland that normally had corn and soybeans growing lying fallow. Trump destroyed that export market. Are we great again?

Ohhh - burn!

Trump was so played by Xi last week. The list of elegant insults is long and mostly unreported. It seems the last parting gift was the most cold, a box of rose seeds. To a man who ripped out and paved over the Rose Garden. Subtle as a steamroller but to the oblivious administration, really cool.

Observation- when oil was over $100 a barrel in 2008, gasoline sold for $3.05ish. Why are consumers paying some 30% more for gasoline now? There is a disconnect. Big oil knows you will pay more for less.

Trump announced China will be buying 200 737 Max jets. Yea! However per Reuters, analysts had expected an order of at least 500. Boeing shares fell as a result of the deal. Tired of winning yet?

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency wants to relax limits that require coal-fired power plants to prevent the release of toxic heavy metals into streams and rivers. Data centers get the juice while folks who live and work downstream get the shaft. Tired of winning yet?

I never thought I would ever see the phrase “VIP snorkel” but here it is. Patel needs to explain where this event fell within the FBI director’s duties.

Trump wants China to buy planes and soybeans. I’ll be willing to bet Xi counters with a demand that the US opens the EV market to their products. Elon will shit a brick with his name on it.

Trump arriving in China and met by - the Chinese vice president. Make no mistake about this - this is a MAJOR show of disrespect. HUGE! May as well as sent out the Beijing circus to great Trump's clown show.

Trump continues to try to find an off ramp to his war and get a shred of the Obama era deal. Anything to declare victory and ho home. Iran knows what I learned as a marathon runner. I can endure more pain that will break you.

Not sure how this “roll back” of the federal gas tax will pan out. I drive EVs and I pay a separate road use tax at registration because I don’t participate in the road use tax portion of the gas tax structure. I don’t mind paying my share but it IS a share.

I’m so glad Trump spent $6.9m on a no-bid, “emergency” contract to a business pal to paint the bottom on the reflecting pool in DC. Because we have money to burn. He thinks the people are stupid. He proves that every day. In November, you have a chance to prove him wrong or right.

The Va Supreme Court refused to allow certification of the vote but, the YES vote still won. Another minority “win”. History is littered with minority wins and the eventual outcome does not favor their continuation.

The Virginia SC decision nullifying the peoples decision to redistrict is disappointing. There will be retribution - later on that.

Editorial: The US is unlikely to pressure Benjamin Netanyahu to comply with truce terms. Europe must take action

Iran doesn’t need a nuclear weapon. Trump has shown them they can hobble the US and the globe with a fleet of comparatively cheap drones. As long as the world is addicted to fossil fuels, Iran has outsized leverage on the cheap at the Strait.

Yes, how was it that Fox was already on the scene? Just a coinkydink, huh? Impressive news reporter instinct on the ready!

Watching Adam Kinzinger’s YouTube short this evening had a clip of Trump from a year ago when he withdrew the US from the WHO. His affect and appearance is starkly changed to now. The decline is plainly on display. How much longer?

ALERT: FBI raids political Trump poltical rival…. as Epstein survivors are shut out again Just filed to @meidastouch.com youtu.be/o7qtSj3i7wM?...

BELIEVE the VICTIMS!!!!! #Epstein #'TrumpFiles #EpsteinFiles

Trump bragged about ace’ing a third cognitive assessment test. For those in the back, a cognitive assessment test is used to determine what level of lockdown you are assigned to at a memory care facility. I guess he can keep his plastic knife from the omelette bar.
