Surviving a second Trump admin*

[O Really]

Yet another headline tells us Tru*p is in deep trouble. Really?

"The results were even more concerning for the President because they came from the Fox News Poll. Overall, Trump scored a 39% approval rating with Americans, a number that was down by just three points from findings the previous month"
...
"“Trump approval is at all-time lows among Republicans (80%), non-MAGA Republicans (54%), Whites (43%) and rural voters (43%),” Fox News noted about its latest data."

Well, sure - if you're a pollster or statistician a 3% drop in one group or a 7% drop somewhere else is significant. And yes, the approval numbers are horrid overall compared to previous (real) presidents. But still - 39% approval rating? Seriously? Without regard to age or voter registration, that means there's up to 136,500,000 Americans that approve of the corrupt felon. That's pronounced one hundred thirty-six MILLION, five hundred thousand people. So if 75% of the population is 18 or over, and 60% of them are registered to vote, we eventually arrive at sixty-three MILLION registered voters who approve of the corrupt felon. Now, that's a sharp drop down from the number that voted for Tru*p in 2024, but there could be no clearer indication of American deep-shittiness than to have 63 million potential voters who approve of this catastrophe.

If you can't argue the facts bang your shoe on the table.

He's been priming his cult for months with how the 2020 election was "rigged" and stolen from him. A story this morning noted he's repeated this lie over a hundred times in the last six months. After the November elections, he will start full bore with LAW (Lying And Whining) about each race a Republican loses.

Yeah claiming the election was "stolen" from him in states run by Repugs, election boards run by Repugs and with zero evidence and 60 lost lawsuits after years of LAWing. Seriously, are there any people anywhere more stupid than those who believe this drivel?

Maybe everyone forgets that has been his playbook throughout his life, he just brought it to his very first election and has been banging the same drum since.

I know. I've said before that if I had not lived this experience, I'd not believe someone telling me about it or reading about it. I think back to Republican senators in 74 like Howard Baker and others who flat out told Nixon that he's toast. There is no way in hell that sort of thing would happen now with trump. Hell, just look at this goddamn ridiculous "anti weaponization" fund; instead of flat out loudly saying "this is bullshit" they leave town. I figure there's more than half a chance they come back and announce the reason they're for it and why it's a good thing. In other words....more bullshit.

Judge Orders Trump's Name Removed from Kennedy Center
Last updated
30 minutes ago
U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper ruled that the Kennedy Center board illegally renamed the venue the 'Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center' without congressional approval, as federal law names it solely after JFK. He issued a permanent injunction to remove Trump's name from all signage, websites, and materials within 14 days, and blocked the planned two-year shutdown for repairs. Rep. Joyce Beatty, who sued after being sidelined in the vote, won partial summary judgment, while the center plans to appeal amid partisan reactions like Maria Shriver calling it a fitting birthday gift for her uncle.
This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify

Shockingly, a Judge appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, Christopher Cooper, ruled that The Kennedy Center, which was going to close in early July for largescale renovations and construction due to years of neglect, decay, and poor maintenance, and which was to be transformed by the Trump Administration into the Finest Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World, is not allowed to close for these renovations, which would not be possible to properly do without such a closure. Additionally, Judge Cooper ruled that the 36 Member Board of Trustees, which unanimously voted to add the name "TRUMP" onto the former Kennedy Center, making it The Trump Kennedy Center, did not have the right to do such an addition, and the name, "TRUMP," must be removed.

The Kennedy Center has lost, over the years, prior to our getting involved a short while ago, Hundreds of Millions of Dollars — In some cases, including ridiculous construction jobs that were done, over 100 Million Dollars a year. I took great pride in taking over a losing Institution, and looked forward to making it into a Great and Prestigious WINNER for Washington, D.C., and indeed, the United States of America. Unfortunately, Judge Cooper and the Radical Left would rather see it DIE than have President Trump transform it into something that everyone could be proud of, much as I have done, in many cases, throughout my life, and recently, with all of the construction, renovations, and "fix ups" that we have completed with the Department of Interior on Waterfalls, Fountains, Monuments, and other things of Beauty that we have brought back to life in a now SAFE AND SECURE, after Record Setting Crime, Washington, D.C., which is thriving like, perhaps, never before!

Therefore, based on the fact that the Radical Left Democrats care more about opposing your favorite President, ME, than saving a dying Performing Arts Center, almost all of which lose large amounts of money throughout the Country, we are going to be working with Congress to transfer this failing Institution back to them so they can make a determination as to what to do with it. Judge Cooper was given a presentation by leading Building and Construction Experts as to how structurally dangerous the Building is, with rotting beams, parking areas that are subject to collapse, and various other Life and Safety problems, in addition to the fact that it also needs a MAJOR renovation, from an aesthetic standpoint, but he was not "swayed," and said he wants the Building to, incredibly, remain open and, therefore, dangerous. Judge Cooper should be ashamed of himself! I cannot be involved with a situation where danger to the Public is allowed to flourish in plain and open sight. Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else, bring this Institution back, physically, financially, and artistically, I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into "NEVER NEVER LAND." There has never been a President of the United States who has been treated so unfairly by the Courts as I but, that's OK, I will continue to do, what is considered to be, a great job for the wonderful people of our Country. I have instructed the Department of Commerce to make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution, giving them the responsibility for its Operation, Maintenance, and Management. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

I have no problem with this ruling. Naming it after Trump seemed a little over the top to me.

A little over the top.

It's blatantly illegal without an act from congress.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, commonly known as the Kennedy Center, is the national cultural center of the United States, serving as a "living memorial" to John F. Kennedy.

In 2025, President Donald Trump dismissed the center's board of trustees and appointed new members, who elected him chairman and voted to add his name to the center, a move later determined to be illegal.

He needs a fucking padded room.

Can you imagine? A Barack Hussein Obama Judge named Christopher Cooper has stopped a magnificent structural and aesthetic rebuilding of The Trump Kennedy Center where Millions of Dollars of material, marble, furniture, steel, air conditioning, heating, and so much else was ordered, or soon to be ordered, with the end result being a structure that would no longer be in a potential state of collapse, rusted, rotted, and rat and bug infested, to one that would be the Finest anywhere in the World. It was necessary to close the Center in order to get this work done. It is not possible to have a major and very dangerous Construction job, including the replacement of structural beams, with audiences innocently going in to watch a Play. The marble is in terrible shape, the pipes are gone, the air conditioning and heating systems are 65 years old, and no longer functioning. It was all being torn out to be replaced by brand new Carrier Equipment, at the highest standard. Now that won't happen anymore because a Judge, whose wife is an anti Trump Hater, and he is too, decided, unprecedentedly, to not allow a desperately needed Building Renovation to go forward. On top of that, he said, "Rip his name off the Building, he's got 20 days to do so," even though a large Board of some of the most distinguished people in the Country voted unanimously to put the name up. I didn't do it, the Board did because they thought it would be good for this dying Institution, which was doing Record Low Business and, especially after COVID, only getting worse — True for other such Institutions throughout the Country, but The Trump Kennedy Center was going to be a special one. It would have fully recovered, when none others will. It would have been a New Standard of Excellence, one of my many Gifts to Washington, D.C. The new Building would have been incomparable, beautiful marble, magnificent chandeliers, the finest carpets, rugs, and furniture, designed at the highest level but, perhaps most importantly, replaced steel on many beams, columns, and girders, making the Building structurally sound again. People shouldn't be allowed to go into that Building until this is fixed, and yet the Trump Hating Judge wants to keep it open because his wife probably told him to do so! Cooper's wife, Amy Jeffress, who doesn't use the "Cooper" name because they, as a couple, don't want people to know that she has a Conflict of Interest with an important Judge, is a Radical Left Democrat, who worked as a Federal Prosecutor and Counselor to Obama Attorney General, Eric Holder, worked behind the scenes for the January 6th Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs, Dirty Cop FBI attorney Lisa Page in the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal, RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA Hoax, and her Millions of Dollars Settlement, even though she was "guilty as hell," and is currently representing Sleepy Joe Biden on the release of his audio tapes, and more. She also works for the same Legal Firm that represented E. Jean Carroll who received a decision against me, now under appeal, that was shocking to the entire World. Amy is totally wired into the Left System, from her husband down, and it is impossible for me to be treated fairly. He has a total Conflict of Interest, and should be brought up on charges for not revealing these facts. That is why The Kennedy Center will soon be closed, probably never to open again. That is why, at a different level, and with different players, our Country lost the TARIFF Case, and is forced to pay back 149 Billion Dollars in money received from people who hate everything we stand for. They are laughing all the way to the Bank at how stupid we are (One half sentence clause from the Supreme Court would have saved us this incalculable amount of money!), and that is probably why our Country will lose the Birthright Citizenship Case (No other Country in the World has this — It is totally unaffordable!), because our Court System is RIGGED, no different than our Political System is RIGGED, and the people of our Country know it, and that is why I got overwhelmingly elected President, in Record Numbers, and will FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! President DONALD J. TRUMP

What do you mean? He's a loyal Dementia Don hitman:

... In December, the Government Accountability Office began investigating Pulte over allegations that he has abused his authority at the FHFA by seeking retribution against rivals and instigating mortgage fraud probes against Trump's foes.

DonOLD's tweet:

... During this period, he will remain Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac....

Great, just what we need - a distracted DNI.

[O Really]

OK, so maybe one could argue that some agencies or departments could be reduced or even eliminated, and given who he is, it isn't surprising that Tru*p would just put in a fluky floosie whose primary goal is to keep Tru*p's ass within lip distance. But anybody would think that even for Tr*mp, some functions would be considered vital. But noooo. Appointing this guy is the same as appointing nobody, except there's somebody to keep anybody else from doing anything.

Yup.

FTR, 9/11 exposed major turf wars and lack of communication between agencies.

... The 9/11 Commission recommended establishing the DNI position in its 9/11 Commission Report, not released until July 22, 2004, as it had identified major intelligence failures that called into question how well the intelligence community was able to protect U.S. interests against foreign terrorist attacks.

Also:

... Under 50 U.S.C. § 3026, "under ordinary circumstances, it is desirable" that either the director or the principal deputy director of national intelligence be an active-duty commissioned officer in the armed forces or have training or experience in military intelligence activities and requirements. Only one of the two positions can be held by a military officer at any given time. The statute does not specify what rank the commissioned officer will hold during their tenure in either position.

Pulte has zero military experience . The principal deputy director of national intelligence, Aaron Lukas, also has zero military experience, but at least he had some intelligence experience prior to his appointment in 2025.

Maybe trump really is a Russian agent.....Russia was about the only place in the world trump didn't put a tariff on last year. He's strongly resisted helping Ukraine for years, even childishly treating Ukraine's president. Since his big adventure in Iran, trump has lifted sanctions on Russian oil. There's probably half a chance trump will flee to Russia before this time next year.
