During the a quarterly earnings call, convicted felon President Trump’s eponymous Trump Media and Technology Group on Monday “reported a $238.1 million net loss and a $223.5 million Adjusted EBITDA* loss for the second quarter of 2026, the vast bulk of which was non-cash losses including unrealized losses on digital assets, digital assets pledged, and equity securities ($190.4 million), accreted interest ($11.7 million), and stock based compensation ($8.1 million), along with its $1.9 billion in financial assets and $13.7 million of cash used in operating activities-including $25.6 million of legal expenses, primary related to legacy litigation.”

Seems like the regime’s just going to skip the subpoenas and go straight to door-bashing home raids on this one: The Washington Post reports that convicted felon President Trump last month did not only not fly out of Turkey on Qatar Force One and then use a bullshit excuse to pretend that the $400 million bribe from the wealthy emirate was perfectly safe for him to fly on internationally on the way home from Ankara, he also didn’t even fly on the real Air Force One as was previously reported.

The Orange God Emperor was instead ferried across the Atlantic and to the NATO summit on a military aircraft trailing behind AF1, so fearful was he of the reprisal from Iran for his moronic and already failed campaign against them. TV cameras caught the fat bastard boarding the real plane before he was scurried out of a side door to the unspecified military jet, and then Trump secretly rendezvoused with the real AF1 in the UK. No wonder Donald freaked the fuck out over the Times’s reporting about the Qatar Force One vulnerabilities – they were within inches of this specific detail.

So just to recap: Last month our super tough and brave president let his entire retinue and military personnel fly on an Air Force One 747 that he knew to be targeted by Iranian missiles, secretly switched to another plane, THEN at a US base in the UK he had everyone switch to Qatar Force One and lied about why when asked – saying he wanted US airmen to check out the new bribe plane.

All to cover up a more damning lie: He was too chickenshit even to fly on the real Air Force One.

“I see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON), even though it was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings! But it is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat. Additionally, compensation should be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protestors that Iran has killed over the last 50 years, not to mention the 52,000 that have been killed in the last five months. I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations,” posted dipshit President Trump on Monday. What a great idea for an “off-ramp.”

“Also, with respect to the Iran negotiations, Iran should be responsible for the damages and death caused to the people of Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza!” the fat bastard later added and even if you just let the confusion over Gaza slide since it was Israel that killed all those innocent people there’s still the question of why he’s posting this very aspirational “should” shit publicly instead of putting it in a memo for expert negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to hash out with Iran.

At least 20 people have been killed and dozens of structures collapsed after a 7.4 magnitude quake struck western Colombia on Monday, the AP reports. Despite the extreme depth of 66 miles, the quake inflicted serious damage on the region and into neighboring Ecuador. Colombia’s seismological agency called the temblor the strongest in over a decade to hit the country.

The tectonic setting is fairly distant from the shallow epicenters of the double 7.2 and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that struck central Venezuela in late June, killing over 5,000 people.

Deputy Speaker of Iran’s “Islamic Consultative Assembly,” Ali Nikzad, in Monday said it a speech that convicted felon President Trump can kiss any chance at pre-war normalcy goodbye.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran tried to inform the aggressor and deluded enemy of the fact that the Strait of Hormuz is not going to return to the pre-war conditions during the days of the war,” said Nikzad, per Al-Jazeera. “Unfortunately, they tried to pretend not to know, but the passage of time is the greatest teacher for deluded people, and today the American-Zionist enemy, with a strong fist of armed forces, has practically realised that the opening of the Strait of Hormuz has no military solution and must submit to the new order in the region.”

“Black and Brown Voters don’t want Communism or Socialism – Not surprisingly, they are flocking to the Republican Party! They remember that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday, apropos of… something. Whatever it was is not clear. Most likely some private pollingthat freaked him out, since public polls show him underwater with white voters.

Saturday came and went and with it the deadline for hateful piece of shit Republican Ohio Congressman Max Miller to take his name off the ballot and allow the GOP to find a replacement candidate, Axios reports on a seat in real danger of flipping to Dem challenger Brian Poindexter, a union steelworker whose slight lead in polling over Miller seems poised to grow.

Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu’s regime on Sunday rejected a 15-point “peace plan” devised by convicted felon President Trump’s bullshit “Board of Peace” for disarmament of Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, with “Bibi” telling his cabinet that the IDF “would not carry out any withdrawal” from Gaza “until Hamas is disarmed,” the New York Times reports on Trump’s latest failure.

“I want to be clear here – Israel is ruling out the 15-point plan,” said Netanyahu in a published readout of the meeting, compounding the ongoing wane of Trump’s political and diplomatic power.

It’s unlikely Texas Trump voter John Gannon would regret having supported the Orange God Emperor in 2024 if his wife were an American citizen. A white-haired 75 year-old Caucasian businessman who CBS News touts as owning “more than 1,000 billboards in the US as well as several establishments in Mexico, including a hotel and a restaurant,” is as firmly inside the MAGA demo as 29 year-old basement dwelling incels with opinions on AI anime porn image generators.

The racism, corruption, and malevolence were cool with Gannon until last month when ICE agents came and grabbed his 45 year-old fiancee, Yasmin Suarez Reyes, from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport as the couple were waiting to board a flight to go to a furniture trade show in Las Vegas. “After leaving the United room, eight officers, ICE agents swarmed Yasmin and detained her. (They) didn’t tell us why and wrestled her off into a car,” Gannon said in an interview with CBS.

“I voted for Trump,” Gannon said ashamedly in the interview, adding ICE is “picking up law-abiding citizens. They’re destroying families, jobs… Go after the criminals. We’re all for that. But leave the mom and pops and the kids alone. Man, he’s destroying families.” Gannon voted to destroy families.

Worth noting that Reyes is (A) not accused of any crime (B) is in the US legally and has been since 2023 (C) is a Venezuelan native but also a citizen of Spain, one of 40 countries that visa-free travel to the US is allowed, and (D) applied for asylum in January 2024. But, per the Trump Regime, Reyes had “lawfully entered the US and illegally overstayed her lawful admission which expired on January 19, 2024. Pending applications do NOT confer legal status. All of her claims will be heard by a Justice Department immigration judge, and she will receive full due process,” adding the Administration “is not going to ignore the rule of law.” Great trolling there. Five out of five stars.

From Iranian State Media on Saturday: “Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, on Saturday, August 8, in a message congratulating the brave journalists and soldiers in the field of news, awareness and information, referring to the latest situation in the the region, announced: Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not open.”

“Behavior correction means: 1 – Never threaten Iran or insult the sanctities of this nation. 2 – End the war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq forever. 3 – Lift the naval blockade and withdraw its military forces (naval and air) from around Iran. 4 – Pay the damages of the two wars of aggression on Iran. 5 – Lift the cruel and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation. 6 – Unconditionally release the frozen and stolen assets of the Iranian people.”

“These are the demands of the Iranian people who have been shouting for it relentlessly in the squares and streets for one hundred and sixty days.” The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council emphasized: The Supreme National Security Council will never back down, whether in war or in negotiations,” the statement continued and lol the fat bastard is going to blow his stack.

Ruling in a lawsuit brought by the NAACP, a federal judge on Friday ordered the Shenandoah County, Virginia School Board to reverse its 2024 reversal of the renaming of two formerly pro-Confederate schools, the AP reports. The board voted 5-1 to change Mountain View High School back to Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary back to Ashby-Lee Elementary, names that had been first changed in 2020 in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder.

“The Confederate names were restored with complete awareness of their historic legacy and ongoing discriminatory impact. In the court’s view, the affirmative act of reinstating these vestiges of segregation is far more problematic than a passive failure to remove a long-standing name or symbol,” US District Judge Michael Urbanski wrote in his ruling that the board had violated Black students’ rights under the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act. At the time, one of the pro-Confederate school board members had said that the 2020 change was “not an innocent mistake by some inexperienced school board. No, this was a carefully choreographed advance of a school board alluding to ignore the people they represented.”

The member, Gloria Carlineo, probably meant “colluded” instead of “alluded.”

You don’t have to read the entirety of convicted felon President Trump’s meltdown over the appelate decision on his stupid ballroom, but here it is anyway: “Two Obama and Biden Appellate Court Judges just voted against the desperately needed Military Center, required for the National Security of Washington, DC, and our Country, itself. Highly Respected Judge, Neomi Rao, stated the following key points, among others, in a strongly worded dissent: ‘This was a blatant abuse of discretion… To begin with, the district court had no jurisdiction because the Trust has no standing to stop construction at the White House. [T]he balance of equities overwhelmingly favors the government.'”

Cucked Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy on Friday told the chamber during a floor address that he would vote yes to hire Trump defense lawyer Todd Blanche for the side gig of US Attorney General, clearing the path for a confirmation that doesn’t actually mean much as Blanche had already been confirmed to Deputy Attorney General, so he could have remained as Acting AG indefinitely without any statutory limitations to his abuses of authority. Still emblematic of Cassidy’s twilight cowardice.

“Both nonfarm payroll employment (-23,000) and the unemployment rate (4.1 percent) changed little in July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment declined in local government education and retail trade. Employment continued to trend up in health care. This news release presents statistics from two monthly surveys. The household survey measures labor force status, including unemployment, by demographic characteristics. The establishment survey measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry,” says the BLS’s monthly jobs report for July which, per CNBC, was expected to show an 83,000 job gain.

Republican Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski tells CNN she’s a no on confirming Trump defense lawyer Todd Blanche to his side job of United States Attorney General, saying “the country needs an Attorney General who will check the worst impulses of this administration. I hope Mr Blanche is able to achieve that, if confirmed, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the case.”

With Mitch McConnell’s semi-conscious corpse still being propped up in a wheelchair and procided that all Democrats in the chamber are present and voting no, the deciding vote now hinges on soon-to-be-former-Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy to get Blanche to 50 so neckbearded Vice President JD Vance can break a tie. Cassidy, a physician who infamously sold out to confirm Brainwormed HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr only for Trump to thank him by recruiting Congresswoman Julia Letlow to successfully unseat him in this spring’s primary, has not indicated how easily he will once again capitulate to fascism after having voted to convict Trump in his 2021 impeachment trial.
