The goddamn Trump Administration (Part 2)

I’m sure it’s a complete mystery how this person’s phone, which was also hacked a year ago, was hacked again.

President Trump attacked the powerful conservative legal activist Leonard Leo late Thursday, calling the former Federalist Society leader who once advised the president on Supreme Court picks a “bad person” who “probably hates America.”

Mr. Trump lashed out at Leo a day after a panel of judges — including a Trump appointee — called most of his tariffs illegal. The ruling, which was paused by an appellate court, put Mr. Trump at odds with some conservative lawyers: Two of the three judges who decided the case were appointed by Republicans, and the decision came in response to a lawsuit that cited right-leaning legal theories.

The president attacked the three judges behind that ruling in a Truth Social post late Thursday, calling it a “horrible, Country threatening decision” and suggesting it was made because the judges hate him. He then turned his attention to Leo and the Federalist Society, two longstanding pillars of the conservative legal movement widely credited with helping Mr. Trump pick hundreds of federal judges — some of whom have ruled against his administration.

“I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social late Thursday. “I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real “sleazebag” named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions.”’

Please could they cleanse Donald in exactly the same way?

All social media profiles must be public, otherwise seen “as an effort to evade or hide certain activity.

The end of privacy from the state, and absolutely a thoughtcrime prevention measure.

I bet they won’t even believe anyone who says they have NO social media presence, or will take that as also being suspicious and grounds for refusal.

No can see:


WTF about this story involves GDPR? Nothing, I bet. But these arseholes just want to collect my data and spitefully won’t let me view this unless they can, I suspect.

This is the right thing for this site to do if they are not interested in legal liability for EU folk visiting their site if they don’t want to be encumbered by the GDPR. This is a huge technical headache because of the number of downstream companies you also have to ensure are behaving compliantly in order to avoid liability. This system is far from perfect and what happens in most cases is that sit a just don’t do what they are supposed to anyway, opening themselves up to liability and risking your data, but are either too small or the effort to uncover their non-compliance too difficult to prove bother with.

If you care about this stuff (and you should, speaking as someone who literally works in a senior position in adtech), I much prefer a site saying “we aren’t GDPR compliant either because the cost-to-revenue isn’t worth is for us or the requirements are too onerous, so we are firing you as a customer” than just doing a shitty job, not telling you, and leaking the data to third parties anyway.

I bet all Democrat governors ain’t feeling so great now. By pardoning the plotters, Trump is attempting to bring troublesome governors to heel by declaring “open season” on them.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer says President Donald Trump would break a promise he made to her if he pardons two men who were convicted of conspiring to kidnap her.

Why’d you trust he’d keep his word, Governor? Have you not been paying attention since 2015?

And not just governors, but basically everyone who opposes him. If anything happens to a judge, I imagine Trump will be so quick to pardon the perpetrator.


Hell, even in 2015, if you were paying attention or did the slightest bit of research, you’d know better. At this point it’s downright deranged to not have a default assumption that he’ll absolutely break his promises.

I doubt that she trusted him. But she’s a politician who happens to be smart enough to throw in some indication of her “trust” as a way of lowering Trump on the honesty scale while elevating herself as the better person.

She probably doesn’t know what the acronym TACO means.

I don’t know, she went to the white house and expected to have a private meeting with him, which turned into him using her as a prop… Seems like she did in fact trust him.

She, like so many other Democratic politicians, still trusts in the system. The system has been obliterated. Protocol and decorum in the White House? That was the first to go.
