NEWS FROM THE BACK HALF OF THE WEEKEND

The birthday letter

It’s Day 4 of the second six weeks of Grampaw’s attempted enshittification of america. There are 471 days till we cook his bacon.

Misogynist-in-Chief SECDRUNK strikes again: Navy Vice Adm. Yvette Davids, the first female to serve as superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy is being reassigned, the Pentagon announced Friday. Davids was instead tapped to serve as deputy chief of naval operations, plans, strategy and warfighting development. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Michael J. Borgschulte was named to lead the Naval Academy in her place — making him the first Marine to lead the institution. “The Naval Academy remains one of the most consequential institutions in American public life. It forges leaders of character, men and women of integrity, resilience, and intellect who will guide our Fleet and our Nation through the challenges of an increasingly contested world,” Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan said in a statement.“Lt. Gen. Borgschulte is uniquely prepared to lead the next generations of naval and marine officers and ensure they are ready for the future fight.” Superintendents at the Naval Academy are there for at least three years typically, but the stint can be shorter. Davids, a 1989 graduate of the academy in Annapolis, Md., had been the leader of the institution since January 2024. The administration also fired CNO Adm. Lisa M. Franchetti, who was the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Adm. Linda Fagan, the first female U.S. Coast Guard commandant was also removed by the cowardly crew of cucks afraid to have their stupidity and incompetence shown up by a woman. All female senior military personnel have now been sidelined from important commands, while dumbassed amateur Hegseth continues to prove that right wing men should all be castrated.

Gramps is doubling down on Maladministration II’s claim that U.S. military strikes “completely destroyed” Iran’s three nuclear sites last month, pushing back against a new assessment showing that only one of the three facilities was wrecked. “All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service and, if Iran wanted to do so, they would be much better off starting anew, in three different locations, prior to those sites being obliterated, should they decide to do so,” Gramps said in a Saturday morning post from the Golden throne on Lies Anti-Social. A new intelligence assessment, reported by multiple news outlets on Thursday, indicates that Iran’s nuclear enrichment site in Fordow was mostly destroyed during the June 21 strikes, but the two other principal sites — Natanz and Isfahan — were not and could potentially resume enriching uranium if Tehran greenlights it. The Penatgon, along with Whitey’s House, contends that the airstrikes, carried out by B-2 bombers and submarines firing Tomahawk cruise missiles, destroyed all three facilities. “The credibility of the Fake News Media is similar to that of the current state of the Iranian nuclear facilities: destroyed, in the dirt, and will take years to recover,” the department’s chief propagandist, Sean Parnell. said. “President Trump was clear and the American people understand: Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz were completely and totally obliterated. There is no doubt about that.” Yes indeed, especially since Gramps was so forceful in his lies.

Republican Sen. Tommy The Tube thinks it’s not age, Big Macs, or a notorious aversion to exercise that’s making Grampaw Shitstain sick. It’s we radical leftists. “The pressure on somebody like President Trump right now, not just from outside entities [...] all over the world, but also fighting the radicals in this country,” he an interviewer on WABC this morning. “Every day, it’s almost like a fistfight.” Tommy’s comments come after this week’s White House announcement that doctors carried out emergency heart tests and diagnosed Gramps, who is almost 80, with chronic venous insufficiency. Common among the elderly, it’s a condition where the veins in a person’s legs weaken to the point at which it’s difficult for them to return blood to the heart. Even before taking office in 2016, Gramps has repeatedly limited the release of public information about his health, insisting he’s a “very stable genius” in peak form despite expert speculation about obvious risk factors that would include, to name but a few, heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, and a family history of dementia. Enough has made it into the public domain for some experts to speculate that he might have less than a 75% chance of making it to the end of his second term.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva urged President Trump to negotiate a trade agreement this week as the U.S. has pursued increasingly aggressive action over the criminal prosecution of Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s former president. “What we cannot have is President Trump forgetting that he was elected to govern the U.S. He was not elected to be the emperor of the world,” Lula told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Thursday through a translator. “It would be much better to establish a negotiation first, and then to reach a possible agreement.” Pressure from the U.S. further escalated Friday when Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked visas for the judge overseeing Bolsonaro’s prosecution, as well as the judge’s allies and family members. Lula has no power to interfere in the proceedings against his predecessor. The threats from Trump have been a domestic boon for Lula, who has received praise for standing up to a perceived bully and seen his sagging approval ratings jump.

Cult Queen Tulsi Gabbard emerged from hiding on Friday and tried to throw some red meat to the disappointed MAGAts to divert them from beingfixated on Gramps and his fellow pedo Epstein. The Cult Queen claimed to have uncovered a “treasonous conspiracy” in the Obama administration to stoke Russian election interference claims. alleging the Obama administration knew that Russia did not affect the outcome of the 2016 election, but the truth was suppressed, singling out James Comey’s leadership of the FBI under Obama, according to the declassified report released by Maladministration II on Friday. “Top national security officials including FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan and DNI James Clapper gathered at the Obama White House to discuss Russia. Obama directed the IC to create a new intelligence assessment that detailed Russian election meddling, even though it would contradict multiple intelligence assessments released over the previous several months,” Gabbard claimed in a tweet. In a spate of fiery tweets playing up the report, Gabbard took aim at high-level Obama administration officials for engaging in a “treasonous conspiracy” and “years-long coup against President Trump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic. Their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our democratic republic depends on it. We are turning over all documents to the DOJ for criminal referral.” Are all the traitors in the room with us now, you airhead?

Virginia Sen. Mark Warner blasted Gabbard as “not competent,” moments before she dropped the report. “Tulsi Gabbard is not competent to be the director of national intelligence,” Warner told moderator Peter Baker. “I believe she is trying to politicize the workforce and work product, and that makes America less safe.” He said the actual investigations may by Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee refuted her claim and demonstrated that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election to the benefit of Gramps: “This conclusion was supported on a unanimous basis by every single Democrat and Republican on the committee.” Gabbard’s deputy chief of staff, Alexa Henning, shot back on Xitter: “Since he’s dumb enough to fall for politicized intelligence like the debunked Russia Hoax, I think we’re good not taking advice from him.”

Rep. Jim Himes was asked if there was any justification for Gabbard’s proposed criminal referrals: “... , what you saw from Tulsi Gabbard, was not just a lie, but a very dangerous lie, because when you start throwing around language like sedition and treason, somebody is going to get hurt... the Senate committee, then led by Marco Rubio, a Republican and now Secretary of State, found unanimously that Russia meddled in the election to try to assist Donald Trump. John Durham, special counsel appointed by Donald Trump, investigated this, found that the Senate report was correct. Now, what Tulsi is doing it's a little sleight of hand, but it's worth focusing on. She is saying that the Intelligence Committee, early on, said that the Russians could not use cyber tools to mess with the voting infrastructure, the machines that tally our votes. And that was true then, and it is true now, though the Russians tried to break into a couple of states, you know, election technical infrastructure. They didn't do it, but it is well known and well established that the Russians hacked into the DNC and undertook any number of other influence operations, including buying reams of Facebook ads to discredit Hillary Clinton. That is not in contention, right? And what is horrifying about this whole lie out of Gabbard is, number one, it puts people at risk. And right now, you know, the mouth-breathers on MAGA online are just going out of their minds based on a lie. And number two, the intelligence community is full of very, good people who do their jobs every single day, and now they're watching their leader do something that each and every one of them knows is dishonest and it is a really, really bad thing for the safety and security of the American people when that dynamic is- is out there.”

An ex-girlfriend of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein characterized his relationship with President Donald Trump as “very close and up to no good.” “They were best friends,” Stacey Williams, who says she dated Epstein for “about four or five months,” told CNN’s Brianna Keilar. “The only friend he would mention every time we saw each other or every time we had a phone conversation was Donald.” “That was his bro, that was his wingman,” said Williams, 57, a former model who alleged that Trump groped her in 1993, the Guardian reported. Williams said she met Epstein at a Christmas party Trump threw at the Plaza Hotel in 1992.

Here’s another ICE Crime Against Humanity for the Indictment for the 2029 Trump War Crimes Trials: An 82-year-old Pennsylvania man has been found after his family was led to believe that he had died in the custody of ICE. Luis Leon was finally located in Guatemala after he went to a Philadelphia immigration office to replace a lost green card, was detained by ICE, and then disappeared, Leon is a Chilean national who claimed political asylum in the United States in 1987 after he was tortured under Augusto Pinochet’s regime. Leon’s wife, who had attended the appointment with him, said she was also kept in the building for 10 hours before being released to her granddaughter. The couple have four children. After almost a month—and repeated calls to immigration authorities, prison facilities, hospitals, and even the morgue, Leon’s family was told Friday he was in a hospital in Guatemala. The ordeal was reportedly compounded earlier this month when an unknown caller contacted Leon’s wife to tell her that he had died in custody. Leon’s family maintains that he has never received so much as a parking fine in the U.S., with the latest statistics suggesting that as many as 72% of people currently in ICE detention centers across the country have no criminal offenses. A CNN/SSRS poll released Sunday showed that 55% of Americans think that ICE raids are going too far. The CNN poll has a majority 57% while the CBS poll has a nearly identical 58% of Americans saying they oppose how Malaministration II is using massive detention facilities for migrants; 53% told CNN they didn’t want ICE’s budget to increase. 55% think protests against the deportation policy are justified, compared with 45% who said they were not. Nearly 60% of respondents were also opposed to Trump use of the National Guard to intervene. Come 2029, every single one of these scum - from Nazi ratfuck Stephen Miller to Noem the Lewandowski blowjobber, down to the lowest Street Thug need to be arrested, tried, then “Off with their heads!”

How delusional is Grampaw Shitstain? This delusional. In an Adderall haze, he blundered his way to the Golden Throne Room last night and posted on Lies Anti-Social these comments about his six-month anniversary of his second assault on America by touting the United States as the “hottest” and “most respected country anywhere in the world.” “Wow, time flies! Today is that Sixth Month Anniversary of my Second Term. Importantly, it’s being hailed as one of the most consequential periods of any President.” He added that six months was “not a long time to have totally revived a major Country, one year ago, our Country was DEAD, with almost no hope of revival. Today the USA is the ‘hottest’ and most respected Country anywhere in the World. Happy Anniversary!!!” He insisted his poll numbers within the GOP “have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the Radical Left Democrats and, just plain ‘troublemakers.'” He then went on in another post to claim, “They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls, and are all Republican Party records. The General Election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like Strong Borders, and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!” Yes, every single word including “and” and “the” are lies. Welcome to Up-Is-Down-Black-Is-White-Day-Is-Night World. FACT CHECK: Even the right wing Decision Desk HQ finds that 52.7% of U.S. adults disapprove of The Scumbag-In-Chief, while 44.6% approve. (A special note: the only president to ever hit 90% favorability in a public opinion poll was George H.W. Bush, back in 1991 in the afterglow of the “great victory” of Operation Desert Storm. That lasted a whole two weeks.) According to the most recent CBS News poll, conducted during the crashing tsunami of the Epstein Files fakakte last week, 50% of Republicans are satisfied with how Maladministration II has handled matters in this scandal, while 49% are not. The truth is Grampaw makes things worse for himself every time he opens that anus under his nose.

After that delusional post, Gramps succumbed to the overdose of Adderall and cut loose with this bit of insanity on Lies Anti-social while trying unsuccessfully to get a bowel movement out of the trip to the Golden Throne Room: “The Washington “Whatever’s” should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!” “Passion,” yeah, I guess you can call the screechings of a senile old moron passionate. “Common Sense”? If we actually had any national common sense, Gramps would never have gotten within shouting distance of Whitey’s House. Gramps is really sinking to new lows as he flails around grasping for anything, but slurring Native Americans is not going to put Humpty Trumpty back together again, no matter how many king’s men and king’s horses (asses) try to keep things together. Delusional Dilbert is fucking himself in front of us.

On July 18, US District Judge Nancy Torresen blocked the enforcement of Dilbert Dimbulb’s executive order imposing sanctions on individuals associated with the International Criminal Court (ICC), ruling the executive order is an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. The ruling follows an April lawsuit by two human rights advocates challenging Trump's February 6 order authorizing potentially far-reaching economic and travel sanctions on people who work on ICC investigations of U.S. citizens or U.S. allies, such as Israel. She wrote that, "The executive order broadly prohibits any speech-based services that benefit the prosecutor, regardless of whether those beneficial services relate to an ICC investigation of the United States, Israel, or another U.S. ally. The executive order appears to restrict substantially more speech than necessary to further that end." The executive order imposed sanctions on ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan, who is British. The U.S. treasury department's Office of Foreign Assets Control also place him on a registry of sanctioned individuals and entities. U.S. citizens who provide services for the benefit of Khan or other sanctioned individuals could face civil and criminal penalties, according to the order, which has been condemned by the ICC and dozens of countries.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, threw out Gramps’ $50 million lawsuit against Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, who published interviews with Gramps in 2022 in an audiobook called “The Trump Tapes.” The project drew on nearly 20 interviews between Woodward and Gramps from 2016 to 2020, and included 27 letters exchanged between Trump and North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un. Gramps sued Woodward and Simon & Schuster, which published the tapes, in January 2023, arguing that the tapes violated his copyright. He claimed that he told Woodward that the interviews were meant solely for his book, the 2020 bestseller Rage, rather than an audiobook. Woodward said he never agreed to the restriction. The judge found that Gramps did not demonstrate that he and Woodward intended to be co-authors or that he had any copyright interest. The interviews were conducted on the record. Judge Gardephe gave Gramps the chance to amend and refile his complaint by Aug. 18. But Gardephe said it would be “unlikely” that Gramps could “adequately plead a plausible copyright interest.” One of Gramps’ crack legal team of Lawyers Who Found Their Law License In A Box Of Cracker Jacks responded, “In another biased action by a New York Court, this wrongful decision was issued without even affording President Trump the basic due process of a hearing. We will continue to ensure that those who commit wrongdoing against President Trump and all Americans are held accountable.”
