Brief snappy commentary, for (both of) YOU. Regularly incorporating material from legitimate outside sources, this site presents occasional commentary about (ongoing) Donald Trump/Trump administration deception (lies), incompetence, cruelty and corruption.. P.S. My blog's domain name *should* have been accurate ..in a sane country.

The important thing right now is for the public to see and understand what this lawless and increasingly unhinged president is trying to do.
Vote TRUMP sycophants and 'goons' -- who could care less about you, me or the U.S. economy -- OUT:
"It is also important to note that Trump has taken steps to cut funding and undermine the independence of some of the government programmes and agencies that have been tasked in recent years with monitoring election security."
“…FEMA also documented $79 million in damage in New York, $45 million in Massachusetts and $19 million in Rhode Island, according to officials from those states. That follows a pattern reported by POLITICO in March: Most of Trump’s denials involving Democratic-led states occurred after FEMA had documented sufficient damage to qualify for aid.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🪱🪱🪱🪳🪳🪳 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🪱🪱🪱🪳🪳🪳 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🪱🪱🪱🪳🪳🪳🤬🤬🤬🤬
FEMA said Tuesday that it has “returned to a more rigorous review process” under Trump to ensure that “requests for federal assistance are justified and not granted for routine or expected weather events.”
Two days before Trump denied aid to the four Northeastern states, he approved 11 other requests for disaster aid that include three U.S. territories or tribes. Approvals also went to Wisconsin and Michigan, both of which have Democratic governors.
The disaster declarations Trump approved involved less-damaging events than the four he rejected.
For example, Trump denied Rhode Island’s request for $19 million — which is roughly 10 times the state’s threshold to qualify. That came as Trump approved $8.6 million for Louisiana after it was hit by a tropical storm — an amount that it is roughly equivalent to the state’s qualification threshold…”

“There’s a very easy way to not get impeached: Stop committing impeachable offenses,” Raskin added. “Stop committing high crimes and misdemeanors. Don’t go to war and usurp the powers of Congress to declare war. That’s up to us. Don’t spend money in a way different from how Congress has appropriated money. Don’t impose illegal taxes and tariffs on the American people without congressional consent.”
-- Congressman Jamie Raskin

Understanding it yet? It MATTERS who you vote into political office. Bad actors = bad consequences. (..A well-informed electorate..: ESSENTIAL.)
This is outright theft.

Trump is stealing $1.7 BILLION of your money to set up a totally unprecedented, first-in-American-history political slush fund that he can use to dole out cash to win loyalty and favors for him and his family. https://t.co/mDgTkuaHN1
"The Justice Department on Tuesday expanded the agreement it reached this week with President Trump to resolve his extraordinary lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service to include a provision that would bar the agency from pursuing tax claims against the president, his family or his businesses.Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/us/trump-irs-doj-lawsuit-audit.htm
In a one-page document signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and quietly posted on the department’s website, officials vowed not to pursue any matters, including those involving Mr. Trump’s tax returns, that are currently pending."
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

"Trump Got Written Briefing in February on Possible Russian Bounties, Officials Say"Also (separate 6/29/20 story link):
"Intelligence on Russian bounty plot was included in the President's Daily Brief earlier this year, source says"............
"Fact check: Trump repeats false claim he has power over state coronavirus restrictions, threatens to shut down Congress"
"Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump littered Wednesday's coronavirus briefing with another procession of false and misleading claims.
He inaccurately declared, again, that he has absolute power over state coronavirus restrictions. He falsely claimed "nobody needs" ventilators anymore. He exaggerated the number of federal judges confirmed during his presidency. He repeated some of his standard false claims about trade with China...".................................

"How Trump's three years of job gains compares with Obama's"
"During Trump's first 36 months in office, the US economy has gained 6.6 million jobs. But during a comparable 36-month period at the end of Obama's tenure, employers added 8.1 million jobs, or 23% more than what has been added since Trump took office.
The average monthly gain so far under Trump is 182,000 jobs. During the last 36 months under Obama, employers were adding an average of 224,000 jobs a month..."........................................................
"Donald Trump is in Orlando to announce the kickoff of his re-election campaign.
We’re here to announce our endorsement for president in 2020, or, at least, who we’re not endorsing: Donald Trump.
Some readers will wonder how we could possibly eliminate a candidate so far before an election, and before knowing the identity of his opponent.
Because there’s no point pretending we would ever recommend that readers vote for Trump.
After 2½ years we’ve seen enough.
Enough of the chaos, the division, the schoolyard insults, the self-aggrandizement, the corruption, and especially the lies...."
"Last week, a report leaked of a briefing in which President Trump learned of his team’s own polling showing he trails Joe Biden in 11 states vital to his 2020 election strategy. Rather than approach the information as a valuable tool or a moment to reevaluate, Trump reportedly told his aides to deny that the internal polling existed.
When that didn’t work, Trump nixed the pollsters who provided him with the news..."........................................................................

(Brief blogger commentary:) TRUMP: YOU ARE EXECRABLE.. (Have one of your lackeys look it up for you..)
..Nancy Pelosi says she prays for you.
...Wish I could do even more but, besides working to defeat you...:
I pray the day you're led to the van that hauls your fat-ass to prison occurs in my lifetime.
..It'll be from behind the barriers but I'll be there for that one, bud... You'll hear me.
Quotation from the NYT story: "In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer...”5/9/19 update: ..Creepy and disturbing: (Article link) "Trump, the billion-dollar loser — I was his ghostwriter and saw it happen"
...............................................................................................................................................Excerpted from this linked source article:
"The Question:
How long would it take to count to a billion?
The Answer:
It would depend on how fast you counted.
Let's suppose, for the sake of the argument, that you could count one number every second on average. (Since most numbers in that range are something like "five hundred million, seventeen thousand, two hundred and fifty," this is being very optimistic.) In that case, it would take you a billion seconds.
Dividing that by 60 (and leaving the remainder in second form), we find that it would take 16,666,666 minutes and 40 seconds. Dividing the minutes by 60, we find it would take 277,777 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. Dividing the hours by 24, we get a new total of 11,574 days, 1 hour, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds. Finally, dividing by 365.25 (the extra quarter-day is for leap years), we end up with an approximate total of 31 years, 251 days, 7 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds..."
Small hint, for any who still might not "get it': He's a lying con-man:
"..Do you still love Wikileaks?"Additional video commentary/analysis, same subject:
(PREFACE:) A quick reminder: U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia worked to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Also: Special Counsel Robert Mueller and/or other federal prosecutors have successfully convicted several Trump campaign and/or administration individuals with crimes, including lying to the government and/or acting as an agent for a foreign government. (Additional investigations (and court cases) are ongoing..)
Disgraced FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe pretends to be a “poor little Angel” when in fact he was a big part of the Crooked Hillary Scandal & the Russia Hoax - a puppet for Leakin’ James Comey.

....Many of the top FBI brass were fired, forced to leave, or left. McCabe’s wife received BIG DOLLARS from Clinton people for her campaign - he gave Hillary a pass.
