7/16/26 update:..No, it's potentially much worse.. Flailing loser (and 2020 Georgia election interferer/January 6 riot champion) Donald Trump - plus his minions - are likely attempting to lay the ground for bogus election interference and baseless election challenges this fall. Do NOT allow them + do not fall for another un-American, anti-democracy ploy.

(Reposted 7/8/26 article link, excerpt, brief comment:) Ref. below: The latest vindictive a-hole move by Donald Trump et al requires way more attention and pushback. (..P.S. Democrats will govern more fairly, more professionally -- and for ALL Americans.)

“Trump denies disaster aid for 4 Democratic-led states”

Article excerpt (emphasis added):

“…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…”

6/16/26 reposted opinion article excerpt:

“..The fact that the strongest, the mightiest military power in the world, in cooperation with the mightiest intelligence agency in the world — Israel’s — were not able to achieve any of their strategic objectives against a third-rate regional power is quite stunning,” said Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group.

Details of the “memorandum of understanding” between the United States and Iran are still emerging; the White House has said the text will be released in a day or two. But it appears that its main accomplishment will be to open the Strait of Hormuz, which of course was open before the war. There’s been no nuclear agreement. Reports suggest Iran has not had to give up its ballistic missile program or its support for proxies like Hezbollah. The beleaguered Iranian people have not, perhaps needless to say, been freed from their awful rulers.”

(The day before Trump's bombs began raining down on Iran.) 2/27/26: Strait of Hormuz oil traffic was not halted.., thousands of Iranians and others in the Middle East were not dead (- including school children -),..American military people were not killed in the war, or wounded, .. U.S. taxpayers were not paying approximately $1 billion per day for direct war expenses.. etc., etc.

For that matter, how is the U.S. better off now than in 2015 with the Iran nuclear treaty that was reached between Iran and world powers, including the United States?

(If not already understood..:) The undemocratic lunacy spoken of in the following cannot ever be allowed in the United States. If attempted, it is - and should be for all Americans - a 'red line'..(not to be crossed):

(Article excerpt:) “..Trump alleged noncitizen voting was improperly influencing election outcomes, though experts insist such instances are incredibly rare and already illegal, and told [Dan] Bongino it was "amazing that the Republicans aren't tougher on it."

"The Republicans should say, 'We want to take over,'" Trump said. "We should take over the voting ... in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked and they're counting votes."

The Constitution gives states the authority to conduct federal elections, subject to laws passed by Congress. The elections clause states, in part, that "state legislatures will establish the times, places, and manner of holding elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate."

Trump didn't elaborate on how he wanted Republicans to "nationalize" voting…”

..On and on, ad nauseam. For those paying attention: As noted many (but not all) of the Trump regime's offenses are being openly reported (..for now..) (Or: DIST-orted (vs. reported..))

On a personal note, while violence is not an answer, from a distance I can’t shake the impression that - just like a pro rasslin’ “heel” extraordinaire - Donald Trump is desperately begging (or “cruising”) for someone to body-slam him into submission (+ reform ..but maybe not..). Too many of his constant antics seem to be part of some sort of bizarre "act".
...So wish that I could be the protagonist to accommodate Mr. Fake Tough Guy (as above), but that won’t ever happen (..His persistent hiding behind security goons is one of many reasons why..) Let’s just muse that, if we really somehow were kids again, Donald would never make it across my old school’s playground without an “issue”..

Returning to reality, this tiny blog is reposting some excellent sources that regularly monitor and completely understand the Trump kakistocracy. (..That has somehow been placed into power by a bunch of uninformed/misinformed Americans. …Also 'take a bow' those many of you who decided not to vote at all.. P.S. Reminder for next time (if there is one..): "Is the candidate basically sane" is the lowest -- but likely most important -- bar that any person running for political office MUST clear..)

They are much sharper and funnier about it all:

Thanks for occasionally stopping by ...and this blog will be kept open. It’s become, however, increasingly tedious (and depressing) to react to loads of Trump/Republican garbage that was easy to foresee, as outlined in this blog’s November 12, 2024 post (just after the '24 elections):https://donaldwontlast.blogspot.com/2024/11/comment-new-trump-admin-will-probably.html

The fight for the U.S. republic definitely continues! ..Suggest that the overall situation will probably get worse before it gets better. A guess is that tin-pot dictator Trump and his henchmen may soon try to mess with 2026 elections, in nefarious ways. Do not stand by and allow this.

 ..See YOU in the streets — and at the polling place(s). Don't wait until it is too late to get serious about preserving your country:

(PREVIOUSLY POSTED. Temporarily reposted:) 1/7/26 article excerpt: “…The 37-year-old woman was shot in front of a family member during a traffic stop in a snowy residential neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, just a few blocks from some of the oldest immigrant markets and about a mile (1.6 kilometers) from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020. Her killing quickly drew a crowd of hundreds of angry protesters.”


(Another 1/7/26 excerpt:) "Connor Janeksela, 30, who lives on the street where the shooting took place, described what he saw: “One of the ICE agents tried to rip her door open, and another one got in front of the vehicle and then shouted, ‘Stop!’ before firing three times within a second of saying, ‘Stop.’”

>>>1/8/26 update: (Comment:) Complete garbage...Total cover-up effort by Trump goons. (Story excerpt:)
“The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said it “reluctantly” withdrew from investigating the fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis after the FBI told the agency the US Attorney’s Office “had reversed course” and would no longer allow the BCA “access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews,” BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said in a statement. The BCA was initially set to conduct the joint investigation with the FBI after consulting with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the US Attorney’s Office and the FBI yesterday.

“Without complete access to the evidence, witnesses and information collected, we cannot meet the investigative standards that Minnesota law and the public demands.””

Excerpted overview of some of what Charlie Kirk and his organization promoted:

"..The organization and Kirk also courted controversy — he claimed that the civil rights legislation of the 1960s had turned into an anti-white weapon and mocked what he described as America's deification of Martin Luther King Jr. The group's conferences and shows regularly hosted conspiracy theorists and fellow provocateurs, including Alex Jones, the broadcaster who lost a $1.3 billion defamation suit brought by the family of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre."

"..Based on government and independent analyses, right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities, amounting to approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.

Illustrative cases include the 2015 Charleston church shooting, when white supremacist Dylann Roof killed nine Black parishioners; the 2018 Tree of Life synagogue attack in Pittsburgh, where 11 worshippers were murdered; the 2019 El Paso Walmart massacre, in which an anti-immigrant gunman killed 23 people.

"...Though Trump has insisted his [election] fraud claims are real, there’s no evidence they were, and the lawsuits in the Fox and Newsmax cases show how some of the president’s biggest supporters knew they were false at the time. Trump’s then-attorney general, William Barr, said there was no evidence of widespread fraud.
Trump and his backers lost dozens of lawsuits alleging fraud, some before Trump-appointed judges. Numerous recounts, reviews and audits of the election results, including some run by Republicans, turned up no signs of significant wrongdoing or error and affirmed Biden’s win."

Intelligence gets in the way of the true duties of MAGA womanhood: keeping up your highly artificial appearance and, crucially, defending the man you serve with your whole heart and soul. Especially if said man, in this case Donald Trump, is himself dumber than a box of rocks. It's so much easier to be a yes-woman for such a man if you turn your own brain off completely..."

"...The 20th-century version of the "bimbo" was dim, but almost always good-hearted, exhibiting a childlike generosity to others. The innovation of the MAGA movement, however, is to make the bimbo a nasty figure, as cruel as she is dumb. In the past, what men wanted from a bimbo was someone with dog-like loyalty. For the right-wing man of our time, the craving is more for an attack dog, someone who will charge in to fight your battles, unconstrained by intellectual concerns about whether doing so makes sense."

The high-energy biscuits, intended for children under five living in war and disaster zones, are currently being stored in a warehouse in Dubai and were meant to be shipped out this year, but will instead go to waste due to cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effectively halting nearly all forms of foreign aid. Current and former aid workers, speaking anonymously for fear of retaliation, told The Atlantic that the sheer scale of waste is unprecedented."

2/9/25 article excerpt:

"..The second Trump administration’s brazen pattern of blowing through myriad apparent legal limits has prompted debate about its intentions. One theory is that it is deliberately setting up test cases that would ultimately pave the way for the Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed supermajority to expand presidential power by striking down the statutes as unconstitutional.

But the escalating pace of courtroom clashes has raised the question of what would happen if Mr. Trump simply started ignoring decisions he did not like, rather than appealing them. The result would be a constitutional crisis."

"Mr. President: Did Michael Cohen cover up your dirty deeds?"

(Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted. Title ref.: YT video posted near the end of the post. This post is intended for adults -- not children.)

Excerpt from reporting of Michael Cohen's statement at his sentencing hearing in federal court, 12/12/18. (Emphasis added:)
 "“....Time and time again, I felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds rather than to listen to my own inner voice and my moral compass,” said a choked-up Cohen, a lawyer who once boasted he would “take a bullet” for Trump. “My weakness can be characterized as a blind loyalty to Donald Trump, and I was weak for not having the strength to question and to refuse his demands.”"

Source news article link


12/12/18: MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, re Michel Cohen's (highlighted) 'blind loyalty' words, above: 
"Every single Republican senator owes America a recitation of exactly those words..Word for word."

The source -- worth a view (despite annoying commercial placements..):

Off-site link (below) to the 12/12/18 statement release statement from the United States Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York, including the following excerpted portion. (AMI is the parent company of The National Enquirer. Emphasis is added:):
 "The Office also announced today that it has previously reached a non-prosecution agreement with AMI, in connection with AMI’s role in making the above-described $150,000 payment before the 2016 presidential election.  As a part of the agreement, AMI admitted that it made the $150,000 payment in concert with a candidate’s presidential campaign, and in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before the 2016 presidential election.  AMI further admitted that its principal purpose in making the payment was to suppress the woman’s story so as to prevent it from influencing the election."

 (Previously written text:)

12/8/18 update. (Note: What follows briefly touches upon one aspect of the 12/7/18 court filings:) What if your town's mayor....or your senator....or any other President of the United States(/major party presidential nominee)... was accused of the following? (..By federal prosecutors.) What would you (generally) think of that person? (..'Innocent' until (able to be) convicted in a court of law; yes..)

Remember, ↓this is about "hush money" paid - in essence - to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. (I.e., by paying off those who were involved/might talk.) TRUMP DIRECTED THESE PAYMENTS (according to the Justice Dept.). (Excerpt: Emphasis added:)
"...The Justice Department stopped short of accusing Trump of directly committing a crime. Instead, they said in a court filing Friday night that Trump told his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to make illegal payments to buy the silence of two women — porn actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal — who claimed to have had affairs with Trump and threatened his White House bid. Trump has denied having an affair."

With apologies to the former president, who never did/would likely never do anything remotely like this......

(Commentary:)

....(As a hypothetical comparison...) Substitute the name '(Barack) Obama' into the following real-news story excerpts, below. (I.e., instead of 'Trump'.)

Rhetorical: What would U.S. Republicans be doing if President Obama somehow allegedly did anything like the following..?? 

...With accused philanderer (etc.) Trump in office -- they are (essentially) silent and do NOTHING:
..................................................

3/7/18 story excerpt, source is linked below:
"President Trump’s lawyer secretly obtained a temporary restraining order last week to prevent a pornographic film star from speaking out about her alleged affair with Mr. Trump, according to legal documents and interviews....
 ....The details of the order emerged on Wednesday after the White House’s spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said that Mr. Trump’s lawyer had won an arbitration proceeding against Ms. Clifford, who goes by the name of Stormy Daniels.
 Ms. Sanders’s statement put the White House in the middle of a story that Mr. Trump and his lawyer had been trying to keep quiet for well over a year. The turn of events created the spectacle of a sitting president using legal maneuvers to avoid further scrutiny of salacious accusations of an affair and a payoff involving the porn star....."

Another 3/7/18 news article excerpt:

"President Donald Trump's lawyer is trying to silence adult-film star Stormy Daniels, obtaining a secret restraining order in a private arbitration proceeding and warning that she will face penalties if she publicly discusses a relationship with the president, NBC News has learned.....
"...Reached for comment late Wednesday afternoon, Clifford's current attorney, Michael Avenatti, said Cohen, through his own attorney, Lawrence Rosen, has made further attempts to enforce the order and caution Clifford that she is subject to damages if she talks about Trump.
"Earlier today, Mr. Cohen through his attorney, Mr. Rosen, further threatened my client in an effort to prevent her from telling the truth about what really happened," Avenatti said. "We do not take kindly to these threats, nor we will be intimidated.""

Friday, 2/16/18: Donald Trump's day -- thus far

(Commentary follows below:)


via GIPHY


1. Trump's FBI (-- yes, it's under his (attorney general's) "watch" now --) reportedly failed to act on recent, legitimate tips/warnings about the Florida school shooting suspect -- TWICE (at least).

2. “Him coming here, to me, is absurd. Him coming here is absolutely absurd, and he’s a hypocrite." 

 “...How can you come here and talk about how horrible it is, when you support these laws?” ...This is a man who supports teenagers and other people [being able to] to purchase assault weapons … and then comes down here and wants to act as though this is horrible and shouldn’t happen, but goes back to Washington and supports it. It’s hypocrisy...”
--Broward County, Florida vice-mayor, about Trump's planned visit after the deadly school-shooting massacre there.
