The latest Truth Social posts: As we speak, the state of the union seems to lack the basic spirit of union. A tiny portion of that lack of unity may even seem to trace back to the commander in chief.
The president was busy on Truth Social again last night and early this morning. Larger orgs tend to ignore this conduct. To its credit, Homey don't play it that way.
The Homey to whom we refer is the news org Mediaite. At that site, Tom Durante offers this report about a new set of Truth Social posts:
Trump Tears Into Supreme Court in Truth Social Tirade, Predicts It Will Rule Against Him on Birthright Citizenship
President Donald Trump, undoubtedly still miffed at the Supreme Court for killing his emergency tariffs, attacked the branch of government in a Monday morning Truth Social storm, saying the same justices who ruled against tariffs may do the same on birthright citizenship.
Posting to his social network early Monday, Trump began by saying he will only spell out Supreme Court in lower-case letters “based on a complete lack of respect!”
And so on from there—and for the record, it's true! The president remains so miffed that he refused to capitalize the name of the judicial body in question.
The president still seems to be angry. The full post reads like this:
Truth Details
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
The supreme court (will be using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack of respect!) of the United States accidentally and unwittingly gave me, as President of the United States, far more powers and strength than I had prior to their ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisive ruling. For one thing, I can use Licenses to do absolutely “terrible” things to foreign countries, especially those countries that have been RIPPING US OFF for many decades, but incomprehensibly, according to the ruling, can’t charge them a License fee - BUT ALL LICENSES CHARGE FEES, why can’t the United States do so? You do a license to get a fee! The opinion doesn’t explain that, but I know the answer! The court has also approved all other Tariffs, of which there are many, and they can all be used in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty, than the Tariffs as initially used. Our incompetent supreme court did a great job for the wrong people, and for that they should be ashamed of themselves (but not the Great Three!). The next thing you know they will rule in favor of China and others, who are making an absolute fortune on Birthright Citizenship, by saying the 14th Amendment was NOT written to take care of the “babies of slaves,” which it was as proven by the EXACT TIMING of its construction, filing, and ratification, which perfectly coincided with the END OF THE CIVIL WAR. How much better can you do than that? But this supreme court will find a way to come to the wrong conclusion, one that again will make China, and various other Nations, happy and rich. Let our supreme court keep making decisions that are so bad and deleterious to the future of our Nation - I have a job to do. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
We've advised you to consider seeing this within a medical context. We now expect to return to that line of rumination at the start of next week.
For this week, inevitably, it's all about the state of the union! The Justices who choose to attend tomorrow night's address will be right there in the front row. They'll be sitting there in their robes, as if they're ready to rule!
Then too, this: Durante followed with a second report based on that Truth Social "storm." Capital letters were still MIA. The report begins like this:
Trump Claims He Doesn’t Need Congressional Approval to Impose Tariffs
President Donald Trump pushed back on the Supreme Court’s tariff decision, saying on Monday that he doesn’t need Congress’s OK to impose tariffs.
“As President, I do not have to go back to Congress to get approval of Tariffs,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday. “It has already been gotten, in many forms, a long time ago! They were also just reaffirmed by the ridiculous and poorly crafted supreme court decision!”
And so on from there. As you can see, he was still withholding those capital letters. Our advice remains what it was.
The president doesn't need an OK from the Congress? It sounds like cases may be coming where we'll all get to find out again.
The state of the union is often like this at the present troubled time. To peruse that additional Truth Social post, you can just click here.
ReplyDelete"As you can see, he was still withholding those capital letters."
Horrors, horrors!
Yawn. What was all that about, Bob. Ain't you got anything interesting to report? Any new symptoms of your TDS, any high pitch Democrat squealing, anything?..
Oh, well. Hopefully tomorrow...
The six year old troll gets another first post cookie.
DeleteSomerby does a lot of quoting then says nothing at all.
ReplyDeleteNice of Somerby to promote Mediaite, even when he has nothing to say.
ReplyDeleteIf you need Trump to make you realize the Supreme Court is corrupt as all get out....
ReplyDeleteTrump thinks he can get away with stealing $175 Billion in tariff money, and giving it to illegal immigrants.
ReplyDeleteIf the decision is left up to the Supreme Court and Republican voters, I agree.
Trumps words to the Supreme Court are appalling. His action, raising the worldwide tariff from 10% to 15%, as a way to spite the Supreme Court is appalling.
ReplyDeleteFuck off useless asshole.
DeleteGo take a flying fuck, dickhead fascist fuck.
DeleteYou are a first class asshole, dickhead. Before Friday, there wasn't a 10% worldwide tariff, whatever the fuck that is. Then is less than 12 hours, King Hitler decided 10% wasn't enough. This man needs to be put in a padded cell. Fuck you, dickhead.
DeleteKing Orange Hitler is demanding Netflix fire Susan Rice, because what the fuck are you going to do about it.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, how much longer.
Judge Aileen Cannon has blocked the public release of former special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation into whether President Donald Trump mishandled classified documents after his first term in the White House.
ReplyDeleteSpecial Counsel Smith's full report will be on the internet by Noon tomorrow.
Smith using the old "Oops, too late" appeal of the ruling.
DeleteWhat the fuck are you talking about? Smith is not a party to this matter. Cannon has proven to be a right wing lawless hack.
DeleteWell I guess that whole case is in the toilet!
DeleteI didn't know this. Trump and Homan have done a lot more good than I realized.
ReplyDeleteWhen Trump’s border czar Tom Homan held a press conference on February 12 to announce a drawdown in federal enforcement in Minnesota, he reported that during their surge, ICE agents “located 3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children, children that the last administration lost and weren’t even looking for.”
Speaking separately on Fox, Homan said nationwide, they have located 145,000 of the over 300,000 missing children from a 2024 Homeland Security report.
Go fuck yourself, dickhead fascist freak, go peddle your bullshit to your Nazi friends
DeleteSeconded. Get the fuck out of here with your endless bullshit fuck face David.
Delete"ICE agents “located 3,364 missing unaccompanied alien children, children that the last administration lost and weren’t even looking for.”
DeleteQuestion:
If, as we've seen, ICE will lie about people they've assaulted and people they've killed, why wouldn't they also lie about, well, just about anything?
So yeah, we might want some independent corroboration before we swallow this one.
It's probably a lie. Also, they have probably "located" the kids of the parents that they deported.
DeleteAmazing. On the very day the ICE whistleblower testifies about the fucking lies , dickhead comes running here to distract, deflect and divert.
DeleteThat is almost as significant as Trump saving over 300,000 US lives from fentanyl overdoses.
DeleteYou have it backwards. @7:45. The enormous fuss over the two lying ICE agents is a diversion from the thousands of children they have helped.
DeleteSick ass troll, get lost.
DeleteRemember when in the first admin the Felon was asked about Miller's child separation from their immigrant mother's and the lying POS said they were following Obama's policies. Of course Obama admin had a child separation policy, when they were found being trafficked by non relatives. This is why the Felon sucks shit. And all his supporters are stupid

DeleteWere they in a paper bag stuffed full of cash? Homan can sniff those out like a champ.
10:30, you are such a transparent little shit. So just like that you accuse the whistleblower of lying? Fuck you.
Delete
DeleteSo, you Soros-monkeys won't give a shit about illegal alien children, right? When y'all get all excited about illegal alien children, you're just bullshitting, yeah?
I knew it already, but it's good to have your confession, Soros-monkey.
No one thinks Republicans aren't as excited about children as they were of photos of Hunter Biden's penis, which the Republican Congress worked "long and hard" to assure would be on the internet for them to beat off to.
Delete"The enormous fuss over the two lying ICE agents"
DeleteHow much of a fuss should be made when government agents assault and murder people and then the agents and their superiors lie about it after, and the truth only comes out because there was cell phone footage that contradicted the lies?
Some people can be so persnickety.
"The enormous fuss over the two lying ICE agents is a diversion from the thousands of children they have helped."
DeleteThe fuss over the people Mr. Dahmer killed and ate is a diversion from the millions of people he didn't eat.
Delete"millions of people he didn't eat"
Jeez, Soros-monkeys. Being retarded is one thing, but your condition is getting worse every day.
Have you been infected by some kind of brain-eating virus? Ah, yes, TDS. Never mind.
I love when Mao posts here, because every minute Mao spends posting on TDH, is a minute he's not raping a child.
DeleteSomerby's late blogger friend Drum had it right in 2018:
ReplyDelete"Today, the Republican Party exists for one and only one purpose: to pass tax cuts for the rich and regulatory rollbacks for corporations. They accomplish this using one and only method: unapologetically racist and bigoted appeals to win the votes of the heartland riff-raff they otherwise treat as mere money machines for their endless mail-order cons.
Like it or not, this is the modern Republican Party. It no longer serves any legitimate purpose. It needs to be crushed and the earth salted behind it"
This approach will hit the law of diminishing returns soon enough. They will run out of people to blame. On the other hand, they are ready for that: they will just go full authoritarian.
DeleteBeware of ideological certainty. It never turns out well.
DeleteRegulatory rollbacks lead to lower inflation and more jobs.
DeleteSuch a gross human and troll, get lost.
DeleteDavid in Cal,
DeleteRemember when you wanted the government to force banks to do business with criminals?
It was two days ago.
Remind us again how that led to higher inflation and less jobs.
It's almost like David in Cal doesn't really believe in anything but the bigotry.
DeleteWithout the "It's almost like" part, of course.
Florida lost 52 billion dollars in revenue and over 230,000 seasonal jobs thanks to the effect of Trump's malignant personality and resultant tariffs on tourism. Inflation is not coming down. It is rising slowly. The jobs numbers are about as reliable as $1.99 / gallon gasoline. And even there, they suck. Nothing, absolutely nothing, coming out of this nonstop lying administration can be trusted. The latest polls are abysmal for Trump for reason..
ReplyDeleteGreat list of things that never really meant anything to Republican voters, and still doesn't.
DeleteTrump is punching down on non-whites, making him the most successful Republican President ever.
DeleteFor some reason the media will never ever discuss, Republican voters love that about the Trump Presidency.

The Trump-appointed judge said releasing the report now would “contravene basic notions of fairness and justice” and amount to a “manifest injustice” because the case never reached a jury.
“While it is true that former special counsels have released final reports at the conclusion of their work,” Cannon wrote, “it appears they have done so either after electing not to bring charges at all or after adjudications of guilt by plea or trial. The Court strains to find a situation in which a former special counsel has released a report after initiating criminal charges that did not result in a finding of guilt.”
****************
It is positively Orwellian.
Tomorrow Dickhead in Cal will come here to declare Trump was innocent of the multiple felonies all along.
If you think Trump can't just insult black people, and Republican voters will forgive him for stealing $1
ReplyDeleteIf you think Trump can't just insult black people, and Republican voters will forgive him for stealing $175 Billion dollars from consumers, you need to stop listening to the mainstream media and do your own research.
DeleteTrump: "Fake polls -- I got one today. I saw one today that I'm at 40%. I'm not at 40%. I'm at much higher than that."
ReplyDeleteDue to Trump's Adderall addiction, CBS News is giving Trump zero Pinocchios for saying he's very high.
CNN
DeleteApproval: 36-63
Among working class: 41-58
Independents: 26-73 (!!)
A few more will peel off from the cult when they find out that Trump and his rubber stamping lackeys in congress have erased 12 years of Medicare Part A solvency in 1 year, with the Fucking Big Beautful Bill. When the day comes that they have to pay out of pocket for their hospital costs, a few more will peel off of natural causes.
DeleteMedicare Part A solvency had 30 years when Trump took office. In his first year it lost 12 years. You do the math. No, not you DiC. Those years have apparently long since passed.

DeleteWho cares, Soros-monkey.
We all will die in 5 years from warmer weather anyway.
The Cortez woman told me that. She wouldn't bullshit, would she?
