Attorney General Pam Bondi Charges Judge Who Dared to Rule Against Trump with Misconduct

There has never been an American president who is so averse to the principles and values of the United States and its Constitution than the current occupier of the White House, Donald Trump. He is almost always embroiled in some sort of legal warfare with government agencies, civil liberties advocates, the free press, or other institutions that protect the rights of the American people.

Donald Trump, Constitution

In the first six months of Trump’s second term he has bullied law firms into paying millions to avoid the retribution of his government thuggery; he has pushed legislation to defund public service organizations such as Planned Parenthood, USAID, and PBS/NPR; and he has threatened media enterprises into submission in order to advance their corporate ambitions.

Also on Trump’s radar has been the American judiciary. He has actually gone to the extremes of having judges that he disapproves of arrested. And now he has directed his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to go after a federal judge because he has not bent to the will of Dear Leader or ruled blindly and obediently in his favor. As reported by Democracy Docket

“Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a misconduct complaint against a federal judge overseeing high-profile lawsuits against the Trump administration, escalating President Donald Trump’s ongoing assault on the judiciary.

“The DOJ issued the complaint over comments that James Boasberg, the chief district judge in Washington, D.C., made during a judicial conference with Chief Justice John Roberts and other federal judges earlier this year.”

The alleged misconduct in the filing asserted that Boasberg improperly tried to influence Roberts. However, the conversations they had were entirely appropriate and in the furtherance of justice. But none of that matters to Bondi or Trump. The only thing that they are interested in is punishing those who fail to kiss Trump’s – let’s say ring – and submit to his authority. And also to get honest, independent judges removed from any of Trump cases, and even potentially impeached.

This action against Judge Boasberg is not meant only to punish him, but also to warn any other judges, who might be considering being impartial and law-abiding, that doing so will put them at risk as well. Although that would keep the Trump regime awfully busy. Trump’s disregard for the law has already resulted in an unprecedented statistic for a presidential litigant…

“The Trump administration has lost a shocking 96% of rulings in federal district courts so far this month, according to a recent analysis by Adam Bonica, a professor of political science at Stanford.

“Bonica’s data indicates that judges across the ideological spectrum are ruling against Trump at similar rates. He’s lost in 72% of rulings issued by Republican-appointed judges and 80% of rulings by Democratic-appointed judges.”

It is also notable that the outrage of Trump and Bondi against the judiciary is distinctly partisan. They couldn’t care less about the prejudices of judges who are loyal to Dear Leader, including those on the Supreme Court. As observed in a detailed editorial in The Bulwark by Philip Lacovara (former deputy solicitor general of the United States, counsel to the Watergate special prosecutor, and president of the D.C. Bar)…

“In regularly voting in favor of President Trump—often in extraordinary interventions that short-circuit traditional judicial processes—those six [Supreme Court] justices are racking up a rap sheet of constitutional abuses of staggering import.”

[And that] “Donald Trump and his administration will have to face the verdict of history. And so will his six enablers on the Supreme Court who have been complicit in eroding the constitutional ideal of constrained executive power and creating a virtually omnipotent presidency.”

Hopefully Bondi’s misconduct charges against Judge Boasberg will fall into the dustbin of history where they belong. But the efforts of Trump and his comrades must be struck down today and remembered forever as assaults on democracy and freedom. America cannot be allowed to devolve into the totalitarian dictatorship to which Trump aspires.

Trump’s Team Asks to Depose Rupert Murdoch Soon Because They’re Afraid He’ll Die Before Trial

The most litigious president in American history, Donald Trump, is at it again. His most recent lawsuit is a doozy that is aimed at his longtime propaganda purveyor, Rupert Murdoch, owner of the notoriously conservative Wall Street Journal, the ultra-rightist New York Post, and of course, the relentlessly Trump-fluffing Fox News.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Rupert Murdoch Donald Trump

Trump’s case against the Wall Street Journal is centered on his assertion of defamation when they published a story about a birthday greeting that Trump is said to have sent to his friend, and convicted child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Trump claims that the story is, of course, “fake news,” and he is seeking $10 billion in damages. And in the meantime, the Snowflake-in-Chief has banned the Journal from covering his press conferences.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Kicks the Wall Street Journal Out of the Press Pool for His Next Junket Overseas

A new wrinkle in this case is a motion that Trump’s attorneys have filed seeking to expedite the deposition of Murdoch. The reason they give is a particularly morbid one. As reported by Deadline

“Trump’s legal team is seeking Murdoch’s deposition because of his age, 94, citing that he ‘has suffered from multiple health issues throughout his life, is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares.'”

So Team Trump is asking the court to hurry up and approve their deposition before the “Dirty Digger” (as Murdoch is known) is dug six feet under. Trump’s vultures just can’t wait to put the screws to the sickly old media baron who they imply is on his last legs. That should be a fun interrogation for them, with Murdoch’s nurses in attendance.

What they aren’t mentioning is that the attorneys for Murdoch and the Journal are also going to have opportunities to depose Trump about his unsavory relationship with Epstein, with whom he was friends for 15 years. And as part of the discovery process, they will subpoena evidence and documents, including emails, texts, surveillance videos, phone calls, bank records, etc.

What’s more, Trump is mouthing off about his engagement with Epstein to reporters when he is supposed to be conducting diplomatic business. And as usual, due to his innate idiocy, he is doing himself more harm than good. During a press avail with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump drifted off into the Epstein affair and why he hasn’t released the files as he promised…

“I haven’t been overly interested in it. It’s a hoax that’s been built up way beyond proportion. I can say this: Those files were run by the worst scum on earth. They were run by Comey, they were run by Garland, they were run by Biden, and all of the people that actually run the government, including the autopen. Those files were run for four years by those people.

“If they had anything, I assume they would have released it. The whole thing is a hoax. They ran the files. I was running against somebody that ran the files. If they had something they would have released. Now, they can easily put something in the files that’s a phony […] But those files were run by bad, sick people. If they had anything why didn’t they use it when I was killing Joe.”

This is pretty good proof that Trump's name is all over the Epstein files, and he knows it. That's why he continues to refuse to release them.This is also cover for when they get released, he will just lie that they were altered.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-28T19:05:20.697Z

WOW! That’s some world-class derangement on display. To begin with, it’s preposterous for Trump to say that he hasn’t been interested in the Epstein matter. It’s virtually all he’s been interested in. He’s having his Justice Department investigate it, including interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, and providing her limited immunity to talk.

In addition, virtually everything else he talks about is a transparent deflection from the Epstein issue. Including a bizarre and totally fictional accusation that President Obama had committed treason for trying to change intelligence reports related to Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. And Trump regards President Biden and James Comey as “the worst scum on earth,” not pedophiles, or dictators, or drug cartels, or terrorists.

MORE HERE: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

Furthermore, Trump is fabricating excuses about the files being altered. It’s a ridiculous excuse to suggest that Biden and his team went to that trouble and then never used the allegedly altered files against Trump. And if they were altered, he would have the evidence of it and could use it to prosecute Biden and company. You’d think he would be anxious to get that rolling.

Finally, when Trump claims that “If they had something they would have released it,” raises this obvious question: If there is nothing incriminating about Trump in the files, why wouldn’t he release them? An innocent man would want exculpatory documents to made public ASAP. Clearly Trump knows that these files would hurt him, so he must suppress them.

In the same press gaggle…

  • Trump said that he “turned down” the “privilege” of visiting Epstein Island. And, yes, he called it a privilege. Which suggests that he knew what was going on there, but never reported it to authorities. He allowed the girls to continue being victimized.
  • Trump kept open the prospect of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, but only after she testifies, and if she exonerates him.

All of this proves that Trump remains the single best source for incriminating evidence against himself. He can’t stop talking – and lying – about Epstein. And if the Wall Street Journal stands firm in defense of their reporting, Trump is going to have another load of legal liabilities dumped in his lap. Consequently, no one is more hopeful that the court allows the expedited deposition than Democrats, other Trump foes, and the popcorn lobby.

Trump’s Press Secretary Lies to Fox News About the Now Nonexistent Epstein Client List

The 2024 presidential campaign of Donald Trump was a cornucopia of conspiracy theories. Prominent among them were the allegations related to convicted sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and a reputed “client list” containing the names of people who allegedly participated in his criminal pedophilia parties.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

The mysterious list was said to include Trump, who was known to have been a longtime friend of Epstein, and had been a passenger on his private jet, the “Lolita Express.” “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years,” Trump told New York Magazine in 2002. “Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” This is consistent with the behavior of Trump, who was found liable in a civil lawsuit for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll.

SEE THIS: Ted Lieu Reads Federal Judge’s Confirmation that Trump is a Rapist Into Congressional Record

The Epstein client list reentered the news cycle on Monday morning when Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded to a question from Fox News White House correspondent, Peter Doocy…

Doocy: The FBI looked at the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, ‘this systematic review reveals no incriminating client list.’ So, what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?”
Leavitt: I think if you go back and look at what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was on your network — on Fox News…
Doocy: I’ve got the quote. John Roberts said, ‘DOJ may be releasing a list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. Will that really happen?’ And she said, ‘it’s sitting on my desk right now to review.’ Why?
Leavitt: She was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork — all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes – that’s what the Attorney General was referring to, and I will let her speak for that. But when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars.

DOOCY: The report says there's no Epstein client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on desk?LEAVITT: She was saying the entirety of all the paperwork was on her desk

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-07T17:44:09.501Z

The report that Doocy was referring to was from Axios, who published an article revealing that the current heads of Trump’s Justice Department regime – Pam Bondi (Attorney General), Kash Patel (FBI director), and Dan Bongino (FBI deputy director) – are now denying that any Epstein client list ever existed. According to Axios

“Trump’s Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a ‘client list’ or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.”

That’s a peculiar conclusion considering that Bondi had explicitly said that she had the actual list on her desk and was reviewing it. Doocy pointed that out to Leavitt, who abruptly switched into reality distortion mode to claim that Bondi was referring to “the entirety of all of the paperwork [on] Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.” Which was clearly not what she was referring to. For reference, here is the video of Bondi on Fox News in February, and her exchange with Roberts saying…

Roberts: DoJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients? Will that really happen?
Bondi: It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by president Trump.

Trump's AG, Pam Bondi, needs to explain how the Epstein client list was on her desk in February, and she was reviewing it "at the directive of the president," but now says that it doesn't exist.Where did it go, Pam? Did Trump, for some reason, direct you to make it disappear?

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-07T16:15:36.697Z

The media needs to hold both Leavitt and Bondi accountable for their statements. Leavitt needs to explain why she lied about what Bondi said about having the list on her desk. Bondi needs to explain how the list was on her desk in February, but now says that it doesn’t exist. And Trump needs to explain why his prior promises to release everything about his friend Epstein have gone unfulfilled.

Trump cannot complain that the “Deep State” is suppressing the truth. All of his own appointees are in the positions responsible for releasing all of the information. So who is he trying to protect? You get one guess.

Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

In yet another capitulation by Big Media to the ravenous whims of aspiring authoritarian Donald Trump, Paramount Global has succumbed to the insidious intimidation of a tyrannical threat intended to quash the freedom of the press guaranteed by the Constitution’s First Amendment. It’s just the latest assault on the media that Trump frequently refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

On Wednesday morning it was announced that Paramount had agreed to a settlement of the lawsuit that Trump had brought against CBS News, alleging that the network had defamed him by editing part of an interview with Kamala Harris. Never mind that the the editing (which was nominated for an Emmy) was proper and routine and done only for time and clarity. To Trump it was an assault on his tender sensitivities…

SEE THIS: Snowflake Trump Whines He Suffered ‘Mental Anguish’ From the 60 Minutes Interview of Kamala Harris

The settlement was nothing more than Paramount bowing to the extortion of a mob boss president who was only interested in exacting revenge on a news organization that had the audacity to present a fair and balanced interview of a political opponent and to report the truth about him. As reported by CNN

“CBS News parent Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million to resolve a legally dubious lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump over a ’60 Minutes’ news report last fall.” […]

“Legal experts maintained that Trump’s suit was frivolous and that CBS was on solid ground to fight and win the case in court. But corporate priorities trumped journalistic principles. Paramount has been trying for months to complete a lucrative merger with Skydance Media, and the deal requires approval from the Trump administration, in part because CBS owns local stations that are licensed by the government. This gave Trump a form of leverage over Paramount.” […]

In short, Paramount paid a bribe to Trump in order to get him to allow their multibillion merger with Skydance Media (owned by Trump associates Larry and David Ellison) to proceed with approval from Trump’s FCC. The fate of the merger was of – shall we say paramount – concern to the chairwoman of the corporation, Shari Redstone, who stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars when the merger is completed.

The settlement that Paramount agreed to was for $16 million that would cover Trump’s legal expenses, with the remainder going to his eventual presidential library. But far worse than that, it establishes a precedent for bullying news enterprises in order to shape their reporting or to make them pay for being honest and independent. And despite the fact that there was no apology or other statement of wrongdoing or regret, Trump still claimed that he scored a total victory. His legal team said that…

“[The settlement] holds the Fake News media accountable for their wrongdoing and deceit. CBS and Paramount Global realized the strength of this historic case and had no choice but to settle.”

None of that statement is remotely related to reality. It’s hard to sue for $20 billion in damages – which was the original amount sought by Trump – and settle for 0.08% of that, and spin it as a strong case that Paramount “had no choice but to settle.” Particularly when Trump couldn’t even get any kind of an apology, and the funds would not be going directly to him, but to his library, if there ever is one.

Nevertheless, the damage done to the reputation of CBS News is significant and enduring. It was a decision by their corporate parent to sacrifice the network’s credibility in order to enrich their owners. And their weakness makes it harder for other news organizations to stand up to the kind of criminal protection racket tactics that Trump is so notorious for engaging in. Hopefully any other media outfit facing this in the future will have more courage than than the cowards at Paramount.

SRSLY? Trump is Still Obsessed with His 2020 Election Loss and is Demanding a Special Prosecutor

It has been nearly five years since Joe Biden committed the unspeakably humiliating act against Donald Trump by decisively beating him in the election of 2020. What was he thinking? That tragic episode in Trump’s life has had an enduring impact on his mental health and his ability to cope with reality.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump

A lot has happened since then. Most notably, there were four years of relief from the daily tumult and chaos that characterized Trump’s incoherent style of governing. Much of the damage he caused was effectively undone, and the people’s business was attended to in a manner that advanced their interests and welfare.

However, that relief would be short lived as, somehow, Trump managed to get himself reelected in 2024 to resume his deconstruction of American democracy. Which isn’t going very well for him…

SEE THIS: As the World Burns: Trump Whines that ‘MAGA HATES Fox News’ After New Poll Shows Him Floundering

Something that has not changed is that the deranged anxieties that consume Trump continue to roil his fragile emotional state. Despite the fact that there are numerous domestic and international crises in progress – Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, recession, civil unrest, and more – Trump is busy massaging his acute narcissism and struggling to pacify his bruised ego over the 2020 defeat that he clings to obsessively.

On Friday morning he posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that exposed just how desperately he is controlled by his compulsion to not be perceived as the loser he is. He lashed out at…

Sleepy, Crooked Joe Biden, a man who lost the 2020 Presidential Election by a ‘LANDSLIDE!’ Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed. This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin! What this Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES, have done to our Country in 4 years, is grossly indescribable! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

It hardly needs to be reiterated that Trump obviously did not win “by a LANDSLIDE,” or at all, in 2020. Neither do we need to dwell on his rants about Biden’s competence, when he has a record of historic achievement. And if Trump had any “MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING” evidence of the “total fraud” he alleges, why hasn’t he produced any of it in court, or anywhere else?

Trump’s demand that a special prosecutor be assigned to this non-existent scandal is preposterous. Particularly when there is no legal or even rational basis for it. What’s more, it is unethical for a president to make such a demand directing his Justice Department to persecute a political foe. And it is also notable that Trump has previously argued that special counsels are unconstitutional. But that apparently only applies to those investigating him.

This is what an authoritarian ruler would do to clamp down on his opponents. Which is precisely the problem with Trump. He has long been envious of the kind of power wielded by his idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. And when he refers to the behavior of a “Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES” as being “grossly indescribable,” it is clear that he is employing projection and is actually referring to himself. With Trump, every accusation is a confession.

Herr Trump Calls for Gov. Gavin Newsom to Be Arrested and to Thank Him for Being ‘So Wonderful’

This weekend Donald Trump took the extremist action of federalizing the California National Guard to suppress the overwhelmingly peaceful protests in Los Angeles against Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs who are inflaming violence and chaos.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

California’s governor, Gavin Newsom did not request the Guard, as required by law for Trump to deploy them. Which Trump himself acknowledged back in 2020. Both Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass, adamantly insisted that they had the necessary law enforcement resources to handle the protests. Which was proven to be true, as the only thing that Trump’s actions did was to make things worse. But then, what more would you expect from Trump, whose decision making is severely impaired.

SEE THIS: WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

On Monday morning Trump spoke with reporters outside of the white House when he was asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy about a comment Newsom made regarding Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, threatening to arrest him. Which led to this exchange…

Doocy: Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him. Should he do it?
Trump: I would do it if I were Tom. I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing. He’s done a terrible job. I like Gavin Newsom. He’s a nice guy, but he’s grossly incompetent. Everybody knows.”

"I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great" — Trump endorses the arrest of Gov. Gavin Newsom

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-09T16:59:33.068Z

And there you have it. Trump is explicitly calling for the arrest of Newsom. Never mind that he has no plausible charges of wrongdoing. It’s just his penchant for authoritarianism that has manifested itself previously with the persecution of judges, mayors, and members of Congress, who he has had arrested.

UPDATE: Later on Monday Trump was asked what crime Newsom committed that would warrant his arrest. Trump replied “He ran for governor.” so running for governor is apparently now illegal in Trump’s America.

It hardly matters that Trump says that he likes Newsom, while calling him “grossly incompetent” and seeking his arrest. Trump is agreeing with Homan about the abhorrent and unwarranted prosecution of the governor of America’s most populous state. But Newsom is not afraid of Trump. He literally dared Trump to follow through on his threat. Will TACO Trump chicken out again?

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn … Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-06-09T02:35:52.032Z

What’s more, Trump posted a deranged comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, congratulating himself on his tyrannical behavior and pathetically begging for Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass to thank him, saying that

“We made a great decision in sending the National Guard to deal with the violent, instigated riots in California. If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated. The very incompetent ‘Governor,’ Gavin Newscum, and ‘Mayor,’ Karen Bass, should be saying, ‘THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL. WE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, SIR.'”

This is another example of Trump’s preposterous hyperbole. Does he really think that Los Angeles, with a population of nearly ten million in the greater metropolitan area, “would have been completely obliterated” had it not been for his gross overreaction to the protests? And what psychological dysfunction causes him to continually demand that people thank him, when he is so undeserving of anything but contempt and shame? He expects everyone to suck up to him like the feckless fluffers in his Cabinet.

It is clear, however, why Trump is so hostile toward Newsom (to whom he has attached the infantile nickname, Newscum). Trump is jealous and threatened and seething with rage after Newsom so articulately castrates him with commentaries like the the following…

TACO Trump Tries to Blame Biden for the Boulder Terrorist Attack that Happened on His Watch

This weekend there was another act of domestic terrorism in America – this time in Boulder, Colorado – committed by an anti-Semitic extremist purporting to be a supporter of Palestinians. Although, nothing could be more destructive of Palestinian interests than a terrorist who seems to support the hostage taking by Hamas that the victims in Boulder were protesting.

Joe Biden, Donald Trump

Many concerned Americans from across the political spectrum condemned the attack in its immediate aftermath. But Donald Trump, too chicken to address the matter, said nothing about it until the next day. Presumably he was too busy to even express any sympathy for the victims because that would have have interrupted the golf game he was engaged in at the time. Not to mention his other pressing duties as president…

SEE THIS: WHO’S DERANGED? Trump on Biden Clones, Transgender Mice, Autopens, and His Own Mental Anguish

On Monday, when Trump finally had time to make a statement about the crime, he unleashed a typically Trumpian load of bile. And naturally, he sought to cast blame on his political foes for a tragic event that occurred on his watch. He posted a comment exhibiting his callous self-interest to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that…

“Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under ‘TRUMP’ Policy.”

Most notable in Trump’s response is his desperate effort to cast blame on former President Joe Biden. He resorts to that defamation even before showing any concern for the plight of those who were hurt. And true to form, Trump flagrantly lied about the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman. Trump implies that he was an illegal immigrant by asserting that he entered the U.S. through “Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy” an asinine phrase that Trump only uses with regard to illegal immigration. But Soliman is an Egyptian who entered the U.S. legally. And when his visa expired he applied for and received a valid work permit.

However, none of that matters to Trump, whose only interest is maligning his perceived enemies and absolving himself of any responsibility. The untouchable Mr. Trump always insists that he knows nothing about anything in order to distance himself from whatever horrendous affair he’s hoping to avoid an association with, or is too cowardly or ignorant to face. The problem for Trump is that his own team of White House liars sometimes inadvertently contradict him. For instance…

Trump’s own official Rapid Response team posted a timeline for Soliman’s immigration status that shows that he was a legal immigrant with a valid work permit during the Biden administration. It wasn’t until March of 2025, during Trump’s term, that the permit expired. So it was Trump who allowed him to stay in the U.S. to commit an act of terrorism.

Trump has repeatedly said that he would focus his ethnic cleansing …er… mass deportation efforts on the most dangerous criminals in the U.S. illegally. Apparently that means Harvard students who write op-eds for their college newspaper, law abiding fathers with steady jobs and American wives, makeup artists with Latino names, and four year old cancer patients. But he let Soliman stay. And somehow it was Biden’s fault?

And that’s not all, Trump’s senior White House advisor, Stephen Miller, likewise blamed Biden in a tweet about Soliman’s illegal status, even though that was not the case until Trump was in office. And a similar tweet was posted by the official Trump War Room account on Twitter.

Clearly Trump’s interest in this matter is not related to the fate of the victims, the administration of justice, or the welfare of the American people. His highest priorities in responding to this tragedy are to whitewash his own reputation and to slander his adversaries. Which is a pretty good summation of the malignant narcissism that governs Trump’s priorities when responding to anything.

Trump Celebrates a ‘Major WIN’ Against the Pulitzer Prize Board in a Blithering Outburst of Bile

One thing that Donald Trump will never be accused of is having a rational sense of subtlety. To the contrary, he known for his hair-trigger hyperbole in all matters, constantly ratcheting everything up to ludicrous levels of extremism.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump

Case in point is Trump’s response to the news of a recent court ruling on a motion in his lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize board. Trump sued the board in an bizarre attempt to get them to rescind the Pulitzer Prizes awarded to the Washington Post and the New York Times for their coverage of the unsavory connections between Trump’s election campaign and a variety of Russian operatives.

SEE THIS: Trump Sues the Pulitzer Prize Board for Honoring Accurate Stories of His Russian Collusion

On Wednesday night Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was a rambling flurry of abusive adjectives and lies in which he claimed that a minor court ruling is a “major WIN” that will force the recipients of a Pulitzer Prize to return it. Trump raged that

“In a major WIN in our powerful lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board regarding the illegal and defamatory ‘Award’ of their once highly respected ‘Prize,’ to fake, malicious stories on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, by the Failing New York Times and the Washington Compost, the Florida Appellate Court viciously rejected the Defendants’ corrupt attempt to halt the case.”

Needless to say, there was no “major WIN” in Trump’s lawsuit. The Pulitzer’s award was neither “illegal” nor “defamatory.” The stories that received the award were neither “fake” nor “malicious.” And nothing in the appellate court’s ruling was “vicious.” These were just more examples of Trump’s rank dishonesty and rancid hyperbole. But he was just getting started. He continued…

“They won a Pulitzer Prize for totally incorrect reporting about the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax. Now they admit it was a SCAM, never happened, and their reporting was totally wrong, in fact, the exact opposite of the TRUTH. They’ll have to give back their ‘Award.’ They were awarded for false reporting, and we can’t let that happen in the United States of America. We are holding the Fake News Media responsible for their LIES to the American People”

Once again, the Pulitzer board was totally within their rights to grant awards as they see fit. They even conducted an independent review to affirm their original decision that concluded that “no passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes.”. Trump’s claim that they now “admit it was a SCAM” is wholly delusional on Trump’s part. And his suggestion that the award would have to be returned is preposterous.

What Trump is calling a “a major WIN” is nothing more than a ruling against a motion by the Pulitzer board to temporarily pause proceedings in the case until Trump’s current term in office is complete, citing potential complications from a Supreme Court ruling that allows presidents temporary immunity for official acts during their term in office.

However, the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Florida ruled that “such privileges are afforded to the President alone, not to his litigation adversaries.” In other words, the Pulitzer board cannot assert a privilege granted to the president. So, because Trump isn’t moving for the delay, the case will go forward. Which Trump may live to regret.

Contrary to his bombastic bellowing, Trump hasn’t won anything. There was no finding on the merits of the lawsuit. The facts of the case still favor the Pulitzer board. And Trump’s obsession with suing everyone that hurts his tender fee fees is the only thing about this that was predictable.

Although his record is somewhat less than stellar. According to Democracy Docket, “The Trump administration has lost a shocking 96% of rulings in federal district courts so far this month.” And the results of this case are unlikely to improve that record.

The Choice of Fox News Trump-Fluffer Jeanine Pirro as Interim US Attorney May Be Illegal

The team that Donald Trump has assembled for his second occupation of the White House is a collection of incompetent misfits who have an unprecedented measure of ignorance of, and lack of qualifications for, the jobs that they have been appointed to carry out. Most of them are committed to sabotaging and/or shuttering the departments that they were hired to lead.

Jeanine Pirro Fox News

Among the saboteurs are Trump’s Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, an alcoholic with no command leadership experience, who has already been caught disclosing sensitive attack plans on a commercial chat app; Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, an anti-vax conspiracy crackpot with a brain worm; and Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, who doesn’t believe in Due Process or other explicit protections in the Constitution. But then, why should she when her boss doesn’t?

Which brings us to the mysterious case of Jeanine Pirro. She is the Fox News personality that Trump has just tapped to become the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. She is a replacement for Trump’s first choice, Ed Martin, who was torpedoed by his long record of improprieties and Trump cult worship. Pirro would be the 21st Fox News alum that Trump has recruited this time around. And she would join another Trump flunky, Alina Habba, among the ranks of U.S. Attorneys.

However, there is some controversy as to whether Pirro can actually take the job. The Washington Post Editorial Board published an article that explores whether Jeanine Pirro’s Appointment as U.S. Attorney Might Not Be Legal.” The article begins by stating that…

“[S]ince Pirro left her last job as a prosecutor two decades ago, she has acted in ways that call into question whether she has the independence necessary to responsibly take on one of the most important prosecutorial jobs in the United States. What’s more, in choosing her, Trump is pushing the limits of his authority. It isn’t clear that the law allows him to name successive interim U.S. attorneys who are not confirmed by the Senate.”

What the article is referring to is the “Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998” that governs interim appointments in the executive branch. It states that the U.S. District Court, not the president, can appoint a new interim staffer after the term of a previous interim staffer – in this case, Martin – has expired.

In their article, the Post’s Editorial Board elaborated on certain concerns about Pirro’s proposed appointment. For instance, they noted that “Trump has long wanted to place Pirro in a high government position.” He previously tried, and failed, to give her a high post in the Justice Department under his first Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, who he later fired. He discussed making her a special counsel to conduct meritless investigations of Hillary Clinton. And he briefly considered her for Attorney General before appointing Bill Barr, who he later fired.

When all of that failed, Pirro hooked up with Fox News where she made a name for herself sucking up to Trump and disseminating his most flagrant lies. She’s been there for twenty years now and has not been practicing law at all. Which makes her the perfect Trump appointee who is lacking in any relevant experience, other than her infatuation with Trump. As reported in the Post…

“On her Fox News show, she championed Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 defeat. In documents obtained by Dominion Voting Systems as part of discovery in its defamation lawsuit against Fox News (which led to a $787.5 million settlement), Pirro’s executive producer at the time referred to her as a ‘reckless maniac’ during an internal argument over her pro-Trump monologues.”

This is the person that Trump believes is best qualified to lead one of the most important prosecutorial offices in America. The truth is that Trump believes Pirro is best qualified to obstruct any inquiries into activities by him and his cronies, while launching phony persecutions of his political foes. And he’s aiming to do all of that with an appointment that he may not be legally authorized to make. But Trump wouldn’t do anything illegal, would he? WOULD HE?

WTHF? When Asked ‘Don’t You Need to Uphold the Constitution,’ Trump Replies ‘I Don’t Know.’

Donald Trump seems to be doing his best to affirm that he intends to become America’s first dictator. He is furiously dismantling every cherished institution of the nation from justice to academia to journalism, and even religion. There are no principles or values that he won’t stomp on in pursuit of his own exaltation.

Donald Trump, Constitution

Included among the pillars of American principles that Trump is eager to plunder is the nation’s Constitution itself. Not that he has any idea what it says or what it means. To Trump it is an archaic document that is only there for him to exploit if possible, or discard when necessary.

Trump confirmed his distaste for the Constitution in an interview with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press this weekend. During a portion of the interview that dealt with Trump’s unlawful deportation agenda, Welker sought to get his views on the legal aspects of rounding up allegedly undocumented persons and shipping them off to foreign gulags without any justification or legal recourse.

Welker: Your Secretary of State [Marco Rubio] says that everyone who is here – citizens and noncitizens – deserves due process. Do you agree?
Trump: I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know.
Welker: Well, the Fifth Amendment says as much.
Trump: I don’t know. It seems — it might say that, but if you’re talking about that, then we’d have to have a million or two million or three million trials. We have thousands of people that are some murderers and some drug dealers and some of the worst people on Earth. Some of the worst, most dangerous people on Earth. And I was elected to get them the hell out of here. And the courts are holding me from doing it.
Welker: “But even given those numbers that you’re talking about, don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?
Trump: I don’t know

Perhaps one of the most honest responses that Trump has ever given to a question is “I don’t know.” However, in this case, it is also one of the most disturbing. The president of the United States ought to know whether what he is doing is legal and constitutional. But Trump is admitting that he doesn’t know that the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution plainly says that “No person shall…be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” That’s “person,” not citizen.

Instead, Trump attempts to cower behind some unnamed flank of lawyers, but does not even bother to say whether or not they agree with him or the Constitution about due process. Then he suggests that due process – and thus the Constitution – can be ignored if there are too many people seeking its protection. And of course, because there has been no due process, Trump doesn’t know whether any of the people he is deporting are criminals or dangerous, or even in the U.S. illegally.

Worst of all is that Trump was asked directly if he needs to “uphold the Constitution” and replies that he “doesn’t know” about that either. He literally pledged an oath to do so when he was inaugurated. How is this not a five alarm warning that Trump is determined to discard the Constitution and declare himself King of America?

Given Trump’s responses, what’s to stop him from arresting a couple thousand journalists and then saying that there are too many of them to hold hearings to ascertain whether or not their First Amendment rights were violated. So it’s off to El Salvador for you. And he could do the same with lawyers, or teachers, or civil rights activists, or members of Congress, or anyone who triggers Trump’s ire. And yes, that means you.
