Convicted felon President Trump refused to tell Fox News’s Bret Baier that Mike Pence replacement JD Vance was capable of becoming his successor in the 2028 presidential election.

National Zero had been under the mistaken impression that convicted felon President Trump had in 2020 pardoned former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who serving time in federal prison was removed from office over and then criminally convicted of, among other abuses of power, trying to sell an appointment to the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama when he was elected president.

Evidently Trump had simply commuted Blagojevich’s sentence, leaving the conviction on the record. Now just under five years later, Trump’s getting around to a full pardon, CBS’s Scott MacFarlane reports. For someone who constantly accuses the Democrats of corruption it’s maybe a little incongruous to be freeing then pardoning the most corrupt Democrat of the 21st century.

White nationalist alcoholic Steve Bannon is preparing to enter a plea deal with no prison time for his “We Build the Wall” scam in the New York State-level case, Law360 reports.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffirs on Monday announced that the caucus will be creating a “Rapid Response Task Force and Litigation Working Group” to file lawsuits as part of a “multifaceted struggle to protect and defend everyday Americans from the harm being inflicted by” the Trump regime, Politico reports and holy shit they’re just getting to this now? What the fuck, lol.

All this bitching about judges issuing nationwide injunctions – which by the way was cool when it was Joe Biden trying to parole the undocumented spouses of US citizens or wipe out student loan debt – seems to be headed in one direction, that when the Trump regime openly defies a court order (they’re already defying the ones of funding) then the MAGA media audience is already on board.

“The States have presented evidence in this motion that the Defendants in some cases have continued to improperly freeze federal funds and refused to resume disbursement of appropriated federal funds. The Defendants now plea that they are just trying to root out fraud. But the freezes in effect now were a result of the broad categorical order, not a specific finding of possible fraud.”

“The broad categorical and sweeping freeze of federal funds is, as the Court found, likely unconstitutional and has caused and continues to cause irreparable harm to a vast portion of this country. These pauses in funding violate the plain text of the TRO. In response to the Defendants’ arguments, they can request targeted relief from the TRO from this Court where they can show a specific instance where they are acting in compliance with this Order but otherwise withholding funds due to specific authority,” says an order from Rhode Island District Judge John McConnell in the Blue States’ case seeking to unfreeze funding to the National Institutes of Health.

Former South African President Jacob Zuma’s MK party on Monday filed a complaint accusing a white Afrikaner group of treason for spreading disinformation about the Expropriation Act, the signing of which led to convicted felon President Trump responding with sanctions against the country, likely on the orders of demented Afrikaner billionaire Elon Musk, Reuters reports.

“Treason has been committed, we contend, by them, because they are plotting against our government,” said MK’s top member of parliament John Hlophe, just after filing the complaint against white revanchist group AfriForum. “Based on those lies, those fraudulent misrepresentations, Trump decided to issue an executive order against South Africa.” No idea whether the complaint, which is now in the hands of the National Prosecuting Authority, has any teeth to it – as in if this is like an FEC complaint that goes nowhere or if the group could be in deep shit for lying.

Gazan terrorist group Hamas on Monday suspended the release of the several dozen Israeli hostages taken in the October 7th, 2023 attack, freelancer Noga Tarnopolsky reports without elaborating further. It may or may not have something to do with convicted felon President Trump telling Fox News’s Bret Baier he will permanently remove all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in a clip of the weekend interview that was aired on the propaganda network Monday morning.

Sri Lanka’s Power and Energy Ministry on Sunday said they’ve spanked the entire island nation of 22 million’s electrical grid to collapse after a fight between some monkeys on equipment at the Panadura Power Station that tripped some wires there, leading to a cascading outrage, the Daily Mirror reports. Power was restored hours later as plants were brought back online.

“According to the Ministry, a group of monkeys had jumped into the Panadura Power Station yesterday morning and ended up in a scuffle resulting to one monkey hitting the transmission line leading to an immediate imbalance in the power grid,” the Mirror writes, citing the Ministry.

New Hampshire US District Judge Joseph Laplante on Monday granted the ACLU’s request and ordered a block on convicted felon President Trump’s ban on birthright citizenship from taking effect, the AP reports on the third such rebuke since the fat bastard signed the executive order attempting to unilaterally overturn the Supreme Court’s 1898 decision in the Wong Kim Ark case.

“Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct its constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. For this reason, Ranking Member Connolly is interested in information regarding the waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars. Your disclosures can make a difference.”

“To reduce legal risks when disclosing information to the Committee, and to better protect your communications, do not contact us using work resources or while you are at work. Further, consider consulting an attorney experienced in representing whistleblowers before you make a disclosure,” says the intro to a new whistleblower portal set up by House Oversight Dems.

“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday night, and then adding “The worst part of the Super Bowl, by far, was watching the Kickoff where, as the ball is sailing through the air, the entire field is frozen, stiff. College Football does not do it, and won’t! Whose idea was it to ruin the Game?” whatever the hell that means.

The team of men wearing green jerseys from Pennsylvania defeated the team wearing the red jerseys in the national football championship game on Sunday, with the team of the green guys dominating in both offensive and defensive football plays. Many had expected the red jersey team to win as they had previously defeated other teams in the championship game in 2023 and 2024 but this time the green team won by 40 to 22. A “hip-hop” artist had performed during a break in the game and the orange-faced president of the United States watched from within the stadium.

The city that the green team calls home already deployed police to a street anticipating that multiple parked cars would be set on fire by supporters of the green team in celebration of the victory.

A new CBS News/YouGov national survey finds just 53 percent of Republican voter respondents expecting convicted felon President Trump’s “policies will make the price you pay for food and groceries” go down while 28 percent said they expected no change and 19 percent said they actually expected them to go up. Overall 51 percent of respondents said they think prices will go up, including 84 percent of Dems and 53 percent of indies. Just 28 percent overall expect a decrease.

On the question of egg prices “in your area have been” going up or down, there’s a 19 point difference between 75 percent of Dems and 56 percent Republicans saying they noticed an increase. Among independents it’s 61 percent noticed an increase which is pretty close to the overall 63 percent. So that’s more motivated reasoning on the Dems’ part than Republicans.

Also funny is the extremely low number of Republican respondents’ willing to answer whether or not they think Trump’s batshit suggestion that the US seize control of Gaza is a good idea: Overall 13 percent said good, 47 percent bad, and 40 percent said “Not sure yet/it depends.” Among Dems this was 5 percent good to 73 percent bad to 22 percent don’t know, while among GOP voters 26 percent said it’s a good idea, 20 percent bad, and 54 percent “Not sure yet/it depends,” meaning far too many Republican voters dare not say out loud in an online poll that it’s a bad idea.

If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal.

If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal.

Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.

“South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION is happening, for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it – We will act. Also, because of this, I will be cutting off all aid to South Africa until further notice!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday morning, obviously working on Elon Musk’s orders.

The fat fucking idiot of course didn’t do his homework, as the South African state media reported last week that the “much talked-about Expropriation Act is something that should be looked at in the context of its painful past wherein land was a commodity not afforded to the majority. Last week, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law the Expropriation Bill, which sets out how organs of State may expropriate land in the public interest for varied reasons. In a statement, The Presidency said the new legislation, which repeals the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975, aligns expropriation processes with the Constitution. Section 25 of the Constitution recognises expropriation as an essential mechanism for the state to acquire someone’s property for a public purpose or in the public interest, subject to just and equitable compensation being paid.”

Meaning that no land has been seized yet, it could be some time before any of it is, and the whole point is to undo land seizures that occurred during Apartheid. So the usual bullshit from Trump.
