A Permission Structure for a Power Grab As Allegra wrote over the weekend, this week stands to be a “uniquely cursed” one: We have the 25th anniversary of September 11. One day earlier, we have the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk being killed. And we have the Republican convention in Dallas — each an opportunity…

I’m a bit surprised Trump hasn’t pardoned his fellow crook Lewandowski. Perhaps he didn’t give Trump a “taste?”

I have an idea, what it they gave a party and nobody showed, by nobody I mean the media!!
Being ignored cuts deeply.

Every seat Republicans win will be the result of 100% legitimate elections ensured by the Trump administration, while every seat Democrats pick up will be the rotten fruit of systemic corruption masterminded by the Biden administration that still secretly runs the country. Any group that encourages members to volunteer as poll workers or files legislation on behalf of election fairness will be lumped into the Islamomarxist cabal.

He always rants about lack of coverage by the mainstream media for his rallies, but now that this “midterms convention” looks to be sparsely attended, he may be glad they don’t show up. The Trump-friendly media like Fox News will still be there, and they’ll be careful to avoid showing the empty seats. Or the people that always head for the exits halfway through one of his hour and a half long speeches at a rally.

Sorry, but this time, not sorry. We’d like to be sorry, we really would.

TFG wouldn’t allow him to be Noem’s chief of staff. Lewandowski was only allowed to work limited number of days. That was gamed by breaking days into total number of hours and only counting those where he officially “clocked in” - by using his keycard for entry in DC for part of it. He got stealthy by sneaking through on other people’s swipes.
Whatever the reason, none of it went over well.

Can you imagine the delusion involved, for Lewandowski to think he even existed without Trump’s permission?

Every time he does this he is broadcasting the message: I don’t give a flying fuck about anything you care about. I’m full time on my own personal bullshit obsessions. And that actually is super damaging.
This is where we are at, every morning when he wakes up and opens his eyes.
We have never had a president who operated as a ruler until this one. And he has dropped all pretense of doing the business of the people. We are left with personal capriciousness coupled with failing mental faculties. And some how he has wrangled near absolute power.
Never imagined in my life time. But here we are today.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was personally and explicitly warned that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning a major attack roughly 10 days before the October 7 massacre, but dismissed the threat and did not alert his security chiefs, according to a shocking new Haaretz report.

Maybe he should start with his boss and work his way down.
Hell, have a look at his own agency.
Lead by example.

used a shady ‘privacy’ formula that scrambled the data and miscounted 14 states. It included illegal immigrants and handed Democrats extra seats.
If that is the case, how did the GOP get the majority in both houses?

Of course his insinuation that Canada doesn’t allow American banks is complete BS. Where does he get that information? I know, his ass!!
