The goddamn Trump Administration (Part 2)

Until Trump started meddling, the NRC established those guidelines after agreeing with studies examining “cancer cases among 86,600 survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during World War II,” Science reported. Those studies concluded that “the incidence of cancer in the survivors rose linearly—in a straight line—with the radiation dose.” By rejecting that evidence, Trump could be slowly creeping up the radiation dose and leading Americans to blindly take greater risks.

Yeah, the fascists hate science. It just refuses to adapt itself to political whims.

A door opens for Putin’s high radiation dose Polonium tea to be a tad more legal?

“I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I’m not calling him,” Trump said. “Why would I call him? I could call and say, ‘Hi, how you doing?’ Uh, the guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s a mess. I could be nice and call, but why waste time?”

Just going to let that fester in the warm, humid air for a spell.

It kinda was, though. Certainly, there was public information about Drop-Off voting patterns in several states. Rockland County is an extreme example, but there was even reporting about the drop off voting patterns in mainstream media in December and January. I think it died off because,1. Corporate media has a vested interest in NOT reporting it, and 2. Legally, it doesn’t matter. After the Safe Harbor date, cheating on a presidential election doesn’t legally matter.

I think the main thing that could be accomplished if it was proven that T****-Musk cheated on the 2024 election is to stop the blame-game infighting within the Democratic Party and points left. If Harris actually won, we could shut down both the idiotic push to put forward an even more conservative candidate and potentially the migration of leftists away from the party.

Meanwhile, in the fields…

But “big stuff is happening”! (i.e. Donnie needs a nap.)

He needed someone telling him what was going on at G7, sadly.

Thought the UK was the EU, drops the “trade agreement” that’s blank sheets of paper with Trump’s signature (and only Trump’s signature). Hell, that was probably why he left early.

Yeah, probably less about the world leaders, and more about the world. Trump doesn’t have the energy or focus for an event of that length and was having difficulties following along and staying coherent - he was heading towards major public embarrassment/meltdown.

He wasn’t having fun, so he made an excuse to leave the party. He was expecting to be the manic pixie dream girl who is the centre of attention, and everybody else was having erudite discussions and weren’t interested in indulging him.

I bet every breathed a sigh of relief and thought (and maybe said) "Thank god; now we can get down to business

Goddam it, he is determined to be a war-time president, isn’t he? And will expect the public to fall in line out of loyalty, I expect.

If a rich politician really has to attack the Iranians for no reason other than to bolster his own ego, I prefer the Crassus method, where you lead from the front and die for your avarice.

Yeah, apparently Empty Greene is having a hard time squaring that circle. If this is what it takes to break MAGA, it’s still too much of a price.
