The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump says homeless in DC can be subject to fines and jail time if they don't comply with him.

excerpt:

"For far too long, these laws have been completely ignored, and the homelessness problem has ravaged the city," she said during Tuesday's briefing. "Homeless individuals will be given the option to leave their encampment, to be taken to a homeless shelter, to be offered addiction or mental health services -- and if they refuse, they will be susceptible to fines or to jail time."

Trump says his administration looking at reclassifying marijuana

excerpt:

"We're looking at reclassification and we'll make a determination over the next -- I would say over the next few weeks, and that determination hopefully will be the right one. It's very complicated subject," Trump said as he held a news conference in the White House briefing room.

 

Trump threatens Powell with ‘major lawsuit,’ blames Mnuchin for pushing ‘loser’

excerpt:

"President Trump on Tuesday threatened to allow a lawsuit against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell related to renovations of the central bank’s headquarters.

Trump provided no details on the nature of the lawsuit or who would bring it, but he blasted Powell in a Truth Social post and blamed his former Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, for suggesting Powell for the role.

“Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell must NOW lower the rate. Steve ‘Manouychin’ really gave me a ‘beauty’ when he pushed this loser. The damage he has done by always being Too Late is incalculable,” Trump posted."

 

Trump’s Trial Run for a Police State

excerpt:

"The important thing Trump learned from Los Angeles is that the federal courts failed to intervene. While the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that a president’s decision to federalize the National Guard over the objections of a state governor is reviewable by federal courts, the court also took at face value Trump’s claim that the protests presented a threat to immigration enforcement.

There’s little evidence that this was true. But more importantly, that was never the real reason Trump cracked down on the city. As Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Trump himself, and internal documents made clear, the real reason was to intimidate protesters, terrify immigrant communities and their advocates, and “liberate” blue cities and states from the “socialists” elected to office. It was a projection of power."

 

Trump's trial runs for a police state.


Trump’s Trial Run for a Police State

excerpt:

"The incident that apparently precipitated Trump’s D.C. crackdown was entirely pretextual. It wasn’t the overall amount of violent crime, it was that the wrong person had fallen victim to it. Both Trump and Elon Musk declared D.C. to be a crime-infested wasteland after photos emerged of Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, formerly of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, beaten and bloodied from an alleged carjacking. The attackers ran off when a Metro police officer arrived on the scene — which is far more protection than crime victims usually get from law enforcement."

 

Ken Paxton asks judge to jail Beto O’Rourke for fundraising Texas Dems' walkout

excerpt:

"Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday asked a Tarrant County judge to jail former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, in another escalation in Republicans’ broader effort to put an end to Texas Democrats’ walkout over a new congressional map.

Paxton sued O’Rourke and his political group, Powered by People, last week, arguing that the group was deceptively fundraising for and illegally supporting Texas Democrats’ walkout. Tarrant County District Judge Megan Fahey quickly granted Paxton’s request to temporarily block O’Rourke and Powered by People from fundraising for Democrats or spending money to cover their expenses."

 

Trump is trying to put Powell's head in a vise so that he will quit his chair post at the fed before it expires in May 2026.


Trump threatens ‘major lawsuit’ against Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell

excerpt:

"United States President Donald Trump has suggested that Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell could face a lawsuit over renovation costs for the central bank’s nearly century-old headquarters.

The threat, issued on Tuesday in a post on Truth Social, is the latest salvo in Trump’s ongoing pressure campaign against the central bank leader."

Trump is off to visit 'Russia'.


https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/us/politics/trump-putin-alaska-meeting.html

excerpt:

In describing the meeting, Mr. Trump told reporters that “I’m going to Russia on Friday,” and repeated a version of the same statement several minutes later. In fact, the meeting is set to take place in Alaska, which has not been part of Russia since 1867, when it was sold to the United States for $7.2 million.

“I’m going to see what he has in mind,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Putin, whom he has talked to over secure lines at least five times since he took office in January. He said he would judge “if it’s a fair deal.”

 

During his Senate confirmation hearing, RFK Jr. said he wouldn't tamper with the vaccine board.

After he took office, he fired everyone on the board.

 

Don't report them when they're bad.

Report them with a big Trump fanfare when they're good.

excerpt:

"Lutnick said if a person has "broken into the country," they need to be counted in the census, but they should be counted as someone who has "broken into the country," the three employees confirmed to NPR."

 

https://www.npr.org/2025/08/12/nx-s1-5500526/can-the-president-order-a-new-census-trump-congress

excerpt:

"Amid this rare mid-decade redistricting push, Trump, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and some GOP lawmakers in Congress have floated conducting a census before the next scheduled count in 2030 so that new results can be used to redistribute House seats among the states and redraw maps of congressional voting districts — all before the 2026 election."

 

Soooo. Why meet Putin in Alaska? Is it because he’s harboring a war criminal? Vlad doesn’t dare fly over any airspace besides Russia or the U.S. due to being wanted for war crimes.
Or is it because he wants to sell Alaska to Russia?

 

Multiple news outlets are saying the Government of Mexico is 'Expelling' 26 high-level drug cartel members to the USA.
Whether they will become members of ICE, be sentenced to 12,000 years at ADX Florence, given black stars on their foreheads by their new 'teachers' at various Maximum Security Prisons, or be deported to California remains to be seen.

 

Trump's brain turning to oatmeal.


USA Today Columnist Says Trump Has ‘Caught’ a Case of ‘Sleepy Joe’ Decline: ‘The Man’s Brain Has Turned to Oatmeal’

excerpt:

That rambling, Huppke argued, was on full display in Monday’s presser.

He pointed to a moment when Trump was asked if other cities might face similar National Guard deployments to the one announced for Washington, DC. His answer meandered through claims about Los Angeles “burning like the part that didn’t burn,” military interventions to “let the water come down,” and 25,000 homes lost to fire.

 

The GOP will keep supporting Trump, even if all that's left of him is his head in a jar of chemicals babbling incoherently (military water coming down, burning that didn't burn, the late great Hannibal Lecter).
