Nobody knows law like Trump. The judges have to all be fired.

great, he's been golfing half the time he's been prez, and now he's having a rally... you'd think a man in that office would have more important things to do.

[Brian Peacock]

With the exception of Biden, since George W Bush each president has played more golf that the previous one.

[pErvinalia]

Biden would wander off and get lost playing golf.

The photoshopped photo that certain people claimed to show MS-13 tattoos on Abrego Garcia's hands was used by Trump in an interview when the topic of that particular fascist fiasco came up. The interviewer called him on it, and Trump tried to get the interviewer to accept the photoshopped image as genuine: 'Just say, yes [it's a real photo].' To get Trump to move on, the interviewer eventually said that he'd look at the photo again. Enemies of the People. Just fucking unreal, on different levels.

Moran pointed out that the photo Trump was referencing was proven to be fake, as Abrego Garcia was photographed alongside Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) at the senator's hotel, and the purported tattoos were not present. Trump pushed back and insisted the photo was real and offered to show it to Moran, though the ABC News journalist attempted to pivot the conversation to Ukraine. He ultimately relented when Trump pushed him to finally say that he would "look at" the photo again at a later time.

"It's such a disservice," Trump bristled. "Why don't you just say yes, he does, and go on to something else?"

Reminds me of that Star Trek NG episode 'chain of command' where Picard is psychologically pressured into saying there are 5 lights when there are only 4.

Trump: "They have a poll. A crazy poll. Probably a fake poll too, so I don't know. But first time ever in, I think ever, that they say the country is headed in the right direction. Has never happened before. I don't know why."

The pope has to be carefully selected. The US president just has to be 35 years old native born asshole. But we could have a woman, so there is at least that.

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

The cancer research at Harvard is not American. Probably some kind of communist cures for the common good.

No more pesky annoying regulations on tractors!

Trump administration cuts threaten federal farm safety efforts
Noah Wicks (/authors/295-noah-wicks)
April 25, 2025
Anthony Marco drove his International 1206 up a pile of silage, using the tractor’s weight to pack
down the feed he would give to his dairy herd later in the year. As the tractor puttered along the
pile’s soft edge, Marco knew he was taking a risk. Then things went wrong.

The tractor tipped. In that moment, the 10,000-pound machine could have rolled onto its back and
crushed him. But thanks to two thick metal bars that protruded from both sides of the driver's seat
and held up a sun canopy, the vehicle instead fell on its side. When Marco pulled himself out, only
his pride was injured.
Those bars are rollover protective structures, which shield tractor drivers from overturns, a leading
cause of farm deaths. In the 14 years since the New York farmer’s first incident, he has installed
them on three other tractors. They helped him avert potential injury again last year.
Marco’s access to the life-saving technology was made possible by the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, a small agency that funds worker safety research and education and one of 12 regional Agricultural Safety and Health Centers it supports. Experts at the NIOSHfunded Northeast Center for Occupational Health and Safety have for years helped farmers across
the region retrofit decades-old tractors with such structures.
But that work is now at risk of ending.
Planned staffing cuts are likely to gut NIOSH’s workforce. Roughly 1,500 employees and contractors at the agency, housed within the Centers for Disease Control at the Department of Health and
Human Services, are expected to be subject to reductions-in-force, according to a letter from 115
House Democrats More than 90% of the agency’s workers will be impacted,
including researchers who certify personal protective equipment, respond to avian influenza outbreaks, and study the impacts of wildfire smoke on farmworkers.
Some NIOSH employees lost access to their computers and offices soon after receiving RIF notices early this month, while others will remain in their positions until June, multiple agency workers
told
Agri-Pulse
.
The Trump administration is looking at cutting funding for most of the agency’s programs, except
for a few that study cancer in firefighters, provide 9/11 survivors with medical treatment, track
mesothelioma cases and compensate Energy Department employees for exposure to radiation,
according to an internal budget document leaked last week. Under the plan, NIOSH's $363 million annual budget would be pared down to $6.7 million.
If the centers cease to exist, Rautiainen fears farm safety experts will lose
their reach. Farmers may not have a voice around to tell them they should
wear ear protection to prevent hearing loss, or to explain how to safely handle pesticides, he said. He worries they may take more risks without being
made fully aware of the consequences.
“I am afraid that we are shifting to some sort of macho culture where we feel
we are invincible, we don’t need any protection, we don’t need any safety
advice from anybody,” he said. “That’s the wrong attitude."

Reminds me of that Star Trek NG episode 'chain of command' where Picard is psychologically pressured into saying there are 5 lights when there are only 4.

Yes the same reference came to mind for me when I was writing that post. However Picard was under physical and mental duress, while Trump expects people to just accept his alternate reality because he's put it forward, as if his whims should automatically dictate what people think and believe. It works for the MAGA true believers and if it doesn't work for you, you're unpatriotic at best, and likely a communist.
