The problem we all face: Yes, it's an actual post.
Even worse, it's an actual Truth Social post, from the sitting president. NBC's Channel 4 in Washington, D.C. provides the basic background:
East Potomac golf course closure and overhaul will start ‘immediately,' Trump says
President Donald Trump on Monday said his plans to close a historic public golf course in the nation's capital for 15 months and redevelop it despite an ongoing court challenge to his long-sought renovation will begin "IMMEDIATELY!"
Trump posted on social media on Sunday about his intent to shutter the East Potomac Golf Course, not far from the White House, starting Nov. 15 to make it “one of the Best and Most Spectacular Golf Courses anywhere in the World.”
A judge last week, however, ordered a halt to his redevelopment plans until at least Oct. 26 after scolding the government for starting a large-scale tree removal at the course over a holiday weekend while providing little notice to the court or the plaintiffs trying to stop the makeover.
Trump did not acknowledge the legal fight in his initial post, but early Monday morning he took to Truth Social again, calling the judge "a crazed lunatic."
And so on from there.
This may seem like a hill of beans compared to the president's apparent tilt in the direction of trying to let Vladimir Putin achieve his conquest of Ukraine. The president's recent behaviors in that arena are being condemned by observers from all sides of all aisles.
Compared to that onrushing disaster, this act of large-scale tree removal will likely seem less important. But here's the sitting president's complete Truth Social post:

The United States Department of Interior wants to take a terrible and very unsafe golf course, and make it into a great, safe, and prestigious golf course. They have an absolute right to do so. It’s as simple as that! The judge on the case is a crazed lunatic whose courthouse tapes will reveal, may be insane? The tapes have been blocked from usage by the judge. The random golfer bringing the ridiculous lawsuit has ZERO STANDING! The experts at “Interior” are allowed to do this First Class renovation “as of right.” [sic] They do not need an approval. Work is scheduled to begin IMMEDIATELY! The finished product will be World Class, and bring income and great prestige back to D.C. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

Were sorry, but no! Judge Ana C. Reyes shows no sign of being "a crazed lunatic whose courthouse...may be insane."
Under an alternate reading of the garbled post, Judge Reyes also shows no sign of being insane herself.
No, Virginia and the entire D.C. region: the judge doesn't seem to be crazed in the slightest. But the president who issued that post will be free to behave any way he pleases on the international stage for two more years and two more months after November 3.
In short, it's a dangerous time here in our struggling nation.
ReplyDeleteIf the Dumbocrat judge wasn't a lunatic, why would she block golf course redevelopment?
If judges have nothing better to do, why are they even there, who needs them? I'm sure they're probably paid huge salaries; taxpayers' money. They should go do some useful work for a change; clean toilets or something.
Wonder who’s footing the bill for Trump’s destruction/redevelopment?
Delete
DeleteRedeveloping a golf course is an actual socially useful productive project. Paying salaries to obstructionist judges is a waste, 100% waist of productive efforts.
So no judge should ever obstruct anything any president does. Good to know. “L’etat c’est moi” applies now to our president/king.
DeleteI'm so old I remember when Mao believed in the rule of law, not the rule of the demented pants shitter.
Delete
DeleteIf my comments above sound to you as "no judge should ever obstruct anything" then you just may be a retarded Dumbocrat.
That's exactly what your comments sounded like, dumbshit. Re-read them.
DeleteNot sure why anyone engages with this clod, lurking in everdrooling dumbfuckery in order to be the first to comment on each post by Bob. There is a solution.

anon 4:02, this guy isn't Mao. Mao was a lot smarter, though not saying much. He also used a nym.
DeleteI would call Trump a cunt but he lacks warmth and depth.
DeleteAC/MA It's Mao in his declining onset of dementia years.
DeleteFrom Truthout:
ReplyDeletehttps://truthout.org/articles/trumps-genocidal-rhetoric-on-iran-deserves-legal-consequences-scholars-say/
“On April 30, a group of 30 psychiatrists and psychologists published a statement declaring that Trump was contending with a serious mental health impairment. The statement, which was entered into the Congressional Record by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed of Rhode Island, argued that if the signatories were called to adjudicate the president’s fitness to fulfill the obligations of his office, they would confirm that “he lacks the capacity to do so.””
I don’t recall seeing a word about this from the MSM. (Though maybe it appeared somewhere besides an indie site, and I never saw the reporting). Here’s a link to the statement:
https://www.ippnw.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Medical-Concerns-about-Donald-Trump-5_5_26.docx.pdf
Excerpt:
“It is our professional opinion that the behaviors of Donald Trump, tragically, are neither momentary lapses nor political theater. It is our professional opinion that they reflect a rapidly worsening, reality-untethered, increasingly dangerous decline.”
Of note is the word “tragically”, something Bob emphasized right from the word go. Tragic for Trump, but much more tragic for the rest of us, by my estimation.

"The random golfer bringing the ridiculous lawsuit has ZERO STANDING!"
ReplyDeleteWell, this is kind of a big thing. How would a "random golfer" be injured by the work being done on the golf course that would give him/her standing to bring a federal lawsuit trying to stop that work? Especially to be granted an injunction. On what legal claim is he almost certain to win on the merits?
Off the top of my lawyer head, I can't think of any. So maybe Trump is right and the judge is wrong. The Supreme Court has overturned many lower court judges who were trying to stop Trump from acting as President.
Damn dog, you dumb. I suppose that's typical of you guys. "Trump said it, so it may be true! Which means it _is_ true!"
DeleteHope you aren't actually a lawyer.
4:47: nobody asked orange felon to destroy the only public golf courses in DC so he can put his fucking name on the abomination he is creating. Fck you all
DeleteGoodness me, 4:47.
DeleteDon't you remember in the dozens of cases following the 2020 election, any judge who dared to invoke such a hoity-toity concept as STANDING to dismiss a MAGA-friendly suit was labeled a fraud and an enemy of the people?
Is it not still true today? Or can STANDING be invoked so long as MAGA allows it?
anon 4:54 - you missed that anon put "ZERO STANDING" IN ALL-CAPS. It being said in all-caps, it goes without saying that he is right.
Delete"LEXINGTON, KY (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump was reportedly “apoplectic with rage” on Saturday after a tiny crowd showed up for his heavily-publicized “Pro Kings” rally.
ReplyDeleteAn advance team led by Eric Trump had scheduled the event at Lexington, Kentucky’s Kroger Field, a stadium with a 61,000-seat capacity, but later engaged in what was called “an orgy of finger-pointing” after only 14 people turned out.
Taking to Truth Social, the elder Trump called the minuscule Pro Kings crowd a “total disgrace,” adding, “Especially this Year, when we’re Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Last Time we had a King!”

MAGAt logic. Hahahahaha.
Huh? If it seems funny to you, then you're definitely a retarded Dumbocrat.

DeleteGood one, trumptard! Except that Whitman was a Republican most of her life and is now a member of the Forward Party. She has never been a Democrat.
Yer knot sew smartt!
DeleteYes, Dumbocrat, whatever disguises she may use, she definitely is a retarded Dumbocrat.
Ha ha ha ha ha .
DeleteYou're such a dumbshit.

DeleteRacial hierarchies are the only thing that matter to MAGA.

DeleteNow you've done it.
And just when Republicans were about to stop electing white supremacists to positions of power.
You'll never learn.
Let's hope the situation in France will make Trump re-think his open borders policy.
ReplyDelete$12/ gallon for gas is a small price to pay for calling New Mexico "New America" to own the libs.

DeleteTiedrich is doing the job that Somerby used to do, a few decades ago. He says this about Trump news coverage:
ReplyDelete"Finally, at any point during the day, did Donny commit a dementia? Holy shit, did he ever.
While Dear Leader was waddling across his beloved Epstein Helipad toward Helicopter Force One, he stopped to acknowledge and wave at—
well, we have no idea what was going on inside Donny’s collapsed cortex. At the 21-second mark, as the camera pulls back, we learn that he was waving at absolutely nothing.
Now, I want you to cast your mind back to June of 2024, when Joe Biden was in Italy for a G7 meeting.
Joe — who, you’ll remember, was alleged to be old and icky and smelled bad and was probably already dead but too demented to realize it — appeared to wander off aimlessly, right smack in the middle of an event. The right-wing noise machine had a fucking field day with it.
No doubt you’ll be shocked to learn that the wingnut screech-monkeys had deceptively cropped the video. The reality was that Joe had simply turned to acknowledge the skydivers who had just put on a show for the G7 leaders.
Fast forward two and a half years. We have actual, recorded, not-fake evidence of Dear Leader waving at an imaginary crowd that exists only inside his rat-infested head, and not worthless scribbler of the corporate-controlled press can be roused from their slumbers to mention it.
Why the hell not? Isn’t that newsworthy?"

Somerby not only didn't debunk the fake videos circulated by media such as the Washington Post, but he conducted his own "Biden is too old" campaign here in his blog. Trump really is demented and showing all of the signs of something serious, such as Lewy Body Dementia, but Somerby treats him like someone with personality disorders, not someone entirely unable to function due to a severe degenerative disease that his doctors are concealing from the public while everyone around him grifts, aids Russia and encourages neo-Nazis to think America will become a Christian nationalist dictatorship.
The point is not to mock Trump but to point out the need to remove him from office ASAP.
CNN headline says "Trump joked about candidate's ass"
DeleteWhat's the fucking joke?
The only joke I see is the headline writer for CNN too scared of his own shadow to state the obvious insanity of the president saying he studied a candidate's ass.
O’Donnell, showing a remarkable lack of pity, highlighted this remark as a symptom of Trump’s insanity.

ReplyDeleteSteve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in the near future, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Today might be a good time to ask the fucking orange felon why the fuck is his no account son in law in charge of "War and Peace".
My god, when historians study the fall of the USA, they'll be volumes studying: "Kushner: What the Fuck"
