President Trump: Making America Great Again...

I admire the persistence, but I just don’t think you’re going to get Shaka to submit to a struggle session.

They'll settle it outside by the flag pole after school is over !

A living president's face on our currency? The concept is un-American. They do this kind of thing in two-bit third world dictatorships, not here.

I like the sample they've provided, as it's Trump's mug shot and his hair looks especially awful, and that's saying something. Wish it were a three-dollar bill, though.

I'm just impressed they are waiting for Congress before going forward. Not something you see from them much these days.

I think that means even the dolts around him think it's a bad idea but this way they can still kiss up to him.

Also incredibly sad we have to be impressed when the administration follows the Constitution because it happens so infrequently.

“At Treasury we prepare things in advance, so we have prepared in advance that if the legislation is passed, but we will stick to the law,” Bessent said while leading Thursday’s White House press briefing.

I meant to include Molier's thoughts but forgot to do the cut and paste. Good job on the message board policing, though. I edited it within a couple of minutes of posting.

Not police, just observant.

By "hurt," do you mean "enact policies and practices that disadvantage certain groups firmly ensconced on the political Left?"

No, I think he means, including but not limited to:

Renee Good and Alex Pretti
200+ school children in Iran
A few dozen Fishermen in the Caribbean
Small business owners and farmers bankrupted by tariffs
Thousands of immigrants of various statuses locked in detention facilities with subhuman conditions, whose constitutional rights to due process and humane treatment are being ignored
Multiple victims of retribution lawfare, spending the of thousand on their defenses
Investors who lost millions “investing” in his meme coin

Man I wish it was just a difference in traditional
conservative and traditional liberal ideals. It’s so far beyond that. If only it was Obama versus Romney and differences based mostly on a difference in politics instead of a difference in human decency which we see today.

That includes sending individuals to suffer in notorious prisons in places like Equatorial Guinea.

We have the DOJ being directed to harm a woman who successfully sued the sitting president of rape/sexual assault. That is such a strange sentence to type.

How in the hell is this legal? Surely a court can stop this, no?

And ... a federal judge stops it. For now.

A federal judge barred the government on Friday from taking steps to launch President Trump’s $1.8 billion fund, for now prohibiting the Trump administration from setting up the fund that is intended to pay people the administration finds were harmed by the federal government.

The brief order by Judge Leonie M. Brinkema of the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia prohibits the government from establishing the fund or processing disbursements at least until a hearing is held in June in a pending lawsuit challenging its legality.

It would be one thing if further losing a nation's soul by extrajudicial killing of civilians put a significant dent in the flow of fentanyl cocaine into the US. But it's not even doing that. And the cost of murdering ~200 people with essentially nothing in return? A cool 4+ billion.

With deadly precision, the Trump administration has launched dozens of attacks on small boats in the waters off South America, killing nearly 200 people in a campaign U.S. officials say is meant to curb the flow of illicit drugs to the United States.

But almost nine months into the operation, epidemiologists, addiction scientists and public health experts say cocaine, by far the top drug smuggled out of South America, is as easy to get in much of the United States as it was before the strikes began.

The findings — based on evaluations of street prices, lethal overdoses, purity of samples and drug seizures at U.S. borders — raise questions about the effectiveness of the largest U.S. military deployment in Latin America in decades.

After Trump fired all of the longstanding board of directors of The JFK Center for the Performing Arts, replacing them with his sycophants, they have renamed the building the Trump Kennedy Center. Disgusting, narcissistic, and unprecedented for a sitting president to have anything named after him while still in office. I hope Trump donates his ego to science for post-mortem study.

Thank the Lord for activist judges.

A federal judge in Washington ordered on Friday that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts remove President Trump’s name from the building’s facade and all official branding, finding that the board’s decision to add it was unlawful.

Judge Christopher R. Cooper of the Federal District Court in Washington wrote in a 94-page opinion that a law passed by Congress in 1964 made “crystal clear” that the institution was to be named for President Kennedy.

“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it,” the judge wrote.

No fatties allowed:

“The Pentagon is moving to recruit hundreds of troops to appear as spectators at President Donald Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event at the White House, and requiring those who attend to pay for their travel and meet height and weight requirements, according to people familiar with the matter and internal memos reviewed by The Washington Post.
