Remember back like two or three years ago when we all said “Trump is a threat to democracy, he incited a deadly attack on the Capitol, he’s a criminal with a small dick who lasted 45 seconds with a porn star and then got convicted of 34 felonies for his embarrassing failure to cover it up indefinitely, the economy went to shit when he failed to sufficiently manage the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, you’ll regret it if he wins again” and then too many voters were like “Fuck Joe Biden and fuck you. So what? Trump is a smart businessman who’s going to turn this economy around and bring the cost of a Big Mac back to what it was in 2018. Even Joe Rogan thinks he’s great”?

Ted Cruz might do well to remember how those appeals to conscience and virtue ended up working out for the Democrats in 2024 before the next time he’s asked how Republicans will do in 2026.

Or maybe even just wait until Iran is actually defeated? How about trying that one out?

Apparently after some donor or whoever with the NRSC sufficiently bribed shitty country musician/Texas state Senator Angela Paxton out of keeping her soon-to-be-ex-husband Ken off the campaign trail this month, lawyers for the corrupt attorney general on Tuesday announced that the Paxtons “have jointly agreed that a trial setting is no longer necessary and the Court has removed the case from the trial docket. The parties have made substantial progress toward an amicable resolution of all issues and remain engaged in productive discussions. We are optimistic that a final agreement will be reached in the near future,” precluding what could’ve been ugly proceedings.

The Biggest Threat to JD Vance Is Spencer Pratt, Politico reports on the main story on their home page as of 11:55 AM on Tuesday morning. The article, which at the top of the page says “Magazine,” as in “Politico Magazine,” then argues that “Washington loves Rubio. A brash bully from outside conventional politics is the bigger potential challenge,” thereby affirming the national ascendancy of Pratt, a former MTV reality show actor who is currently running for mayor of Los Angeles.

“The reality-soap performer has emerged as a disruptive force in the race for mayor of Los Angeles, churning up the city’s inert politics with performance artistry, authentic grievance and high-tech vapor,” Politico writes of Pratt, now a force to be reckoned with for the MAGA establishment.

The rest of the article is long and boring but hey, it’s a cutting-edge Politico take.

“‘Senator’ Mike Rounds of the Great State of South Dakota just went woke on the Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020. He made a statement this weekend on ABC Fake News, that despite massive evidence to the contrary, including much of it pouring in from Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other states, he found the election to be ok – just fine. Is he crazy or just stupid? The numbers are conclusive, and the fraudulent and irregular votes are massive. The only reason he did this is because he got my endorsement and easily won his state in 2020, so now he thinks he has time, and those are the only ones, the weak, who will break away. Even though his election will not be coming up for 5 years, I will never endorse this jerk again. It’s RINOs like this that are allowing the Democrats to destroy our Nation… I hereby firmly pledge that he will never receive my Endorsement again!” wrote then-former President Donald Trump in one of his blog posts on January 10, 2022, emphasis added on the parts that he was most emphatic about after Rounds had committed the heinous thoughtcrime of determining that the 2020 election was not rigged.

“Senator Mike Rounds is an incredibly strong advocate for the wonderful people of South Dakota, a State I love, and WON BIG, in 2016, 2020, and 2024! An America First Patriot, Mike is fighting tirelessly to Advance the Great Values of the Mount Rushmore State, Champion our Farmers and Ranchers, Strengthen the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE USA, Ensure American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Support our Brave Military, Veterans, and Law Enforcement, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Mike Rounds has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election. Election Day is Tuesday, June 2nd. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR MIKE — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” wrote convicted felon President Trump in one of his Truth Social posts on June 1, 2026. His sole primary challenger, Justin McNeal, does not seem all that MAGA. Might even just be a literal RINO. Website doesn’t mention DEI once.

For those who thought Tulsi Gabbard sucked as Director of National Intelligence and that convicted felon President Trump could not have picked someone more unqualified for the job, well does he have some awesome news for you: “I am appointing the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, William J Pulte, to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence. William has deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the Markets, and over 10 Trillion Dollars at Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago. During this period, he will remain Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac.”

“Congratulations to Director Pulte!” Trump then concluded in the Truth Social post affirming support for the man who nearly got the shit beaten out of him by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, sold Trump on both the batshit stupid 50-year mortgage and the post an AI slop depicting himself as Jesus ideas. That’s the guy who’s going to lead the nation’s most important intelligence agencies while also continuing to handle the job of running its federal home financing infrastructure.

Delegates to the Minnesota state Republican Party’s weekend convention observed a “moment of silence” for convicted murderer Derek Chauvin – that in reality lasted only about 10 seconds but was approved in an overwhelming voice vote – with the vast majority of the 2,000 delegates present having affirmed their mourning for the still-living federal inmate, the Minnesota Reformer reports.

“I apologize because I know you asked me not to do this. I’d like to suspend the rules for a moment of reflection for Derek Chauvin,” said delegate Christopher Rocco to the gathering. Rocco, who told the Reformer he prefers to be called just Rocco or “Mr Rocco,” added that he called for Chauvin to be pardoned and/or granted a retrial for the murder of George Floyd over a fake $20 bill, even though Chauvin pleaded guilty at the federal level and is scheduled to be released circa 2038 after the completion of his concurrent double state/federal sentence of 21 years. For Chauvin to be released early would require Republican candidates for governor and attorney general to defeat Dem Senator Amy Klobuchar and incumbent AG Keith Ellison, respectively, in this November’s election, for those candidates to appoint pro-Chauvin members to the state clemency review and pardon boards, for those appointees to accept an application from Chauvin, and THEN for convicted felon President Trump to pardon and/or commute Chauvin’s federal sentence. A fed pardon alone just sends Chauvin being sent back to Minnesota to serve roughly the same amount of remaining time.

Chauvin was transferred to a federal prison in Texas after being stabbed 22 times by another inmate in November 2023. Worth asking how his carceral living situation is currently given the widely-reported creature comforts afforded to another politically-favored current federal inmate in Texas.

To those negatively chirping: quiet. 🤫

Sure, the GOP might get their asses kicked in November and then get a Dem elected in 2028, but everything will work out in the end for most of the White House staff personally, as they’ll be able to get jobs with conservative PACs and with GOP members of Congress, maybe even run for Congress themselves from safe red districts where they’ll have job security for the rest of their lives. They’ll be upwardly mobile – as will the Trump family with all their crypto and AI investments and all that shit.

It really will all work out in the end for those who live and work in the White House. It always does.

Semi-official Iranian news agency Mehr on Tuesday reported that Mohammad Jafar Asadi, the deputy head of Iran’s military command had declared that “The US demands our total surrender, and the Iranian nation will never surrender. Without surrender, war is inevitable,” per CBS News.

So yeah, “peace” talks are going great. “I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less,” convicted felon President Trump told CNBC on Monday after the Iranians broke off, with Trump adding that the minutiae of the talks had “started to get very boring” before the already shit situation got worse.

Endangering her bid to replace feckless loser Senator Joni Ernst, Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson committed a thoughtcrime and admitted on audio obtained by Politico that the Iran war would become a “political liability” if it dragged on for much longer. “I’m deferring to the president on the negotiations because he has the team doing it,” said Hinson to an unknown person during a meet-and-greet with voters. “I do hope we can get this done by the next couple of weeks.”

“If it drags on beyond that, it’s a political liability for us too, because we’ve lost Iowa soldiers. I’ve been to four funerals since December, it’s awful,” said Hinson, more worried about the liability.

This is a heated intra-Dem primary that challenger Brad Lander is starting to maybe, hopefully regret launching a primary bid against incumbent Dan Goldman, the hard-ass former federal prosecutor that scares the absolute shit out of Republican witnesses at the House Oversight committee.

Angry with his best bud’s continued indiscriminate violence against the Lebanese people who just happen to live near Hezbollah targets and how that’s getting in the way of the “peace process” with Iran, Axios reports convicted felon President Trump screamed “You’re fucking crazy” at Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday after Tehran broke off the already not-so great peace talks.

“You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” Trump said to his closest pal, per sources.

Prior to Axios printing the report, Trump apparently tried to out get in front, posting “I had a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu, asking him not to go into a major raid of Beirut, Lebanon. He turned his Troops around. Thank you Bibi! I also had a conversation with Representatives of the Leaders of Hezbollah, and they agreed to stop shooting at Israel, and its soldiers. Likewise, Israel agreed to stop shooting at them. Let’s see how long that lasts — Hopefully it will be for ETERNITY!”

Following a meeting with Jesus Dork Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday, convicted felon Presiden Trump’s Reich is “expected” to announce shortly that they’re backing down from the $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” slush fund, Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman reports, specifying that they’re going to comply with a Virginia federal judge’s order from last week bricking the initiative.

The about-face will be aimed at restarting another reconciliation effort in Congress, which fell apart last week over the fund. No matter what, Sherman writes that it’s likely that the Senate GOP will still include language blocking the Reich from trying this sort of shit again anytime soon.

Evidently letting one of his minions write the social media missives, convicted felon President Trump on Monday tried to unfuck that which he has irretrievably fucked, posting “I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back. Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop, that Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.” Trump then added “Talks are continuing, at a rapid pace, with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” and nothing in the way of specifics.

South Carolina Congresswoman Sheri Biggs is, um, not what most would call an intellectual heavyweight or even a featherweight given he astonishment at how “complex” Iran is. But what she lacks in terms of elucidation and tenacity she makes up for in absolutism in terms of intolerance for political opposition. At least she makes it a plea rather than a command for all non-Trump-loyalists to “get out,” rather than dreaming up summary executions and internment camps.

“This defamation lawsuit is about MS Now (formerly, MSNBC) using sham ‘anonymous’ sources to push knowingly or recklessly false allegations that Alexis Wilkins, through her relationship with FBI Director Kash Patel, abused FBI resources. Defendants are, of course, free to comment on the leadership of the FBI and its allocation of resources, whether positively or negatively. They are not, however, entitled to lie about it. Defendants falsely asserted that Ms Wilkins demanded, and Director Patel ordered, that federal agents assigned to her security detail – which did not even exist at the time – escort an intoxicated friend home after a ‘night of partying.’ They falsely portrayed Ms Wilkins as being intoxicated even knowing that she does not drink. Defendants presumed they could get away with this fiction by citing to ‘anonymous sources,’ disingenuously claiming ‘nonpublic’ and ‘inside’ knowledge. This was hogwash and they knew it. Journalists cannot avoid accountability by hiding behind fabricated ‘anonymous’ sources. This lawsuit seeks to bring accountability for Defendants’ egregious lies,” says the intro to “country singer” Alexis Wilkins’s federal lawsuit against MS Now and its reporters for exposing the waste, fraud, and abuse of Bureau resources.

It’s not clear why Wilkins didn’t just have her boyfriend order a raid on MS Now headquarters.

The ayatollah’s goons have at least temporarily interrupted feckless weenies Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff’s ambitions to develop luxury housing in Tehran as CNN reports from Iranian state media that peace talks are on ice due to ongoing Israeli strikes against Iranian proxies in Lebanon.

“Given the continuation of the Israeli regime’s attacks in Lebanon, and considering that Lebanon had been one of the preconditions for a ceasefire – which has now been violated on all fronts, including Lebanon – the Iranian negotiating team is suspending ‘talks and exchanges of texts through mediators,'” sais a report from semi-official news agency Tasnim, adding the new objective is “a complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the activation of other fronts,” including the Red Sea.

American projectiles struck Iranian drone and defense radar sites after a number of US facilities in Kuwait were targeted but defended successfully by interceptors, the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The New York Times wrote a story today entitled, ‘Trump Administration Sees Striking Exodus of Legal Talent,’ as though that’s a bad thing, when actually, it’s very good. The people that are leaving are Radical Left Deep State Lunatics, who are destroying our Country, and Weaponizing Government. Many of them didn’t leave, but were fired! The Failing New York Times writes this, but makes it sound like it’s a terrible thing when actually, it’s just the opposite. We want people that will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, not people that are trying to destroy our Country, that were put in by Obama and Biden and, in many cases, they shouldn’t have been representing the U.S.A. in the first place. Let them go on to ‘bigger, better, and brighter’ things in the future – I fully support that, and wish them all well!” posted the fat bastard on Sunday afternoon.
