Raw Story: GOP lawmakers serve notice they won’t save Trump with a ‘stupid vote’: analyst

Despite a court stepping in late Thursday and reviving Donald Trump’s campaign of tariffs against U.S. allies, one political strategist predicted it will all fall apart in the long run and Republican lawmakers won’t be there to bail the president out.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Way Too Early,” former Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) adviser Jonathan Kott told host Ali Vitali that GOP members of Congress won’t want to admit to voters they made a “stupid vote” and will instead leave the president to fend for himself and take the blame for the economic chaos.

Let the grifter-in-chief twist in the wind! 😀

Bloomberg: Key Republican Hopes ‘Revenge’ Tax Will Be a Never-Used Deterrent

House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith on Friday defended the provision, called Section 899, which calls for increasing income tax rates on foreign individuals and companies from countries whose tax policies the US deems “discriminatory.

A key House Republican tax negotiator said he hopes the so-called “revenge” measure in President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill targeting foreign investors will be a deterrent that is never deployed. 

So the next time a narcissist fruitcake like Trump fibs his way into the Oval Office, he will have another tool with which to destroy our economy and alienate any friends that we might have left. Many wise foreign investors and business will simply avoid doing business in the U.S.A.

Raw Story: ‘This is my show!’ CNN host fires back at a furious Stephen [“Goebbels”] Miller in interview

“Am I going to sit here today and engage in radical hypotheticals?” [“Goebbels”] Miller asked when talking about the executive powers of the president. “This administration has religiously complied with even the most unlawful court orders, but it completely upends the constitutional system to have a single judge in Boston assert the same powers of the president of the United States — is such an offense to democracy.”

Whatever you say, Herr Goebbels.

[“Goebbels”] Miller’s voice continued to grow louder as he accused the Biden administration of “trying to throw President Trump in jail, claiming somehow that was what democracy required, when, in fact, the Democrat Party has been waging war against democracy. They should be renamed the Communist Party, and district court judges that are trying to keep millions of illegal aliens here, to steal our, jobs, to steal, our livelihood, to steal our benefits —”

Last time I checked, Biden’s been out of office for 4 months and 10 days, Herr Goebbels. If you’re displeased with the current state of affairs in American government, it’s high time you and your grifter-in-chief stepped up and started owning what you’ve been f*ck*ng up for 130 days and counting.

Esquire: Trump Has a New Scapegoat for His Inability to Enact Tariffs: Conservative Legal Puppeteer Leonard Leo

President mad again. President big mad again. President big mad on social media platform. President big mad at judges and at guy who recommended them. Very big mad, indeed.

“Where do these initial three Judges come from? How is it possible for them to have potentially done such damage to the United States of America? Is it purely a hatred of ‘TRUMP?’”’ What other reason could it be? I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges. 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. He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court—I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is! In any event, Leo left The Federalist Society to do his own ‘thing.’ I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations. This is something that cannot be forgotten!”

Telegraph: When it comes to Gaza, Trump is all mouth and no trousers

The current American president is repeating all the errors of Joe Biden

Remember Donald Trump’s vow that there would be “all hell to pay” if Hamas hadn’t released all the hostages by the time he took office? What happened to that? Four months later and for all his tough talk, the president is slumping into a Biden crouch.

His envoy, Steve Witkoff, is poised to unveil a revised Israel-Hamas ceasefire proposal amid optimistic leaks, mainly from sources in the United States, that a larger deal may be in the offing.

So far, so Joe Biden. For those Trump supporters who were looking forward to seeing Hamas blasted to kingdom come as soon as his feet hit the Oval carpet, it all looks rather flaccid. What happened to his cherished Riviera?

Fox News: FBI Director Patel says he’s had to divert resources to investigate ‘copycats’ of Comey ’86 47′ post

FBI officials told Fox News Digital the bureau needs to focus on public safety, ‘not cleaning up after political stunts’

FBI Director Kash Patel said he has been forced to divert agents to investigate “copycats” of potential threats to President Donald Trump as a result of former FBI Director James Comey’s “86 47” social media post. 

Bureau officials told Fox News Digital it needs to be focused on “public safety, not cleaning up after political stunts.”

No “cleanup” was needed. It’s not our problem that you’re a total f*ck*ng gullible fool utterly unqualified for your day job as FBI director.

Alternet: Trump doesn’t just think of himself as the president | Opinion

The American Revolution was a result of the tyranny experienced by colonists under the British monarchy. Many Americans had fled from Europe where they had been persecuted under the rule of powerful monarchs. The government produced by the revolution was designed to ensure no such tyranny could be reproduced in the newly formed United States.

The framers of the constitution created a checks-and-balances system of government to ensure that no single branch of the federal government (executive, judicial or legislative) could dominate the others. Each branch has powers to curtail or empower the others.

However, some Americans are concerned about a return of absolute rule due to the steps taken by Donald Trump’s second administration. This has sparked around 100 “no kings” protests all over the US, organised to coincide with Trump’s birthday on June 15.

No kings!

Newsweek: Mom in US for 22 years detained by ICE despite ongoing visa application

A Georgia mother of three who has lived in the United States for more than two decades was taken into custody by federal agents on April 13, just a few blocks from her family’s home.

“She was a major part of our family, she did a lot for all of us, and it feels like our world has been thrown off its axle,” Guillermo Chavarria, 25, the oldest son of Jessica Flores Marin, 44, told Newsweek.

Flores Marin entered the U.S. with Guillermo in 2003 through Texas. While Guillermo qualified for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which granted him temporary protection from deportation, his mother remained undocumented. Despite this, she built a life in the U.S., paying taxes and eventually buying the family’s first home in 2014.

In December, she began the application process for a T visa, which protects victims of certain crimes who cooperate with law enforcement. Her unexpected detention occurred while the family was gathering paperwork for her case.

Independent: Trump fury over US court bid to block tariffs – as experts warn uncertainty could hit economy

A ruling by three US judges has been described as ‘good news’ for countries negotiating trade deals with Trump but brought warnings of uncertainty and confusion

A cloud hangs over the global economy, experts have warned, after a bombshell court ruling blocked Donald Trump’s tariffs, creating more “confusion and uncertainty”.

Financial markets reacted positively to the unanimous ruling by three judges, but the decision enraged the White House, with the US president’s official spokesperson, Stephen Miller, calling it another “judge coup”.

The White House has appealed the decision, but it means all of the president’s “Liberation Day” tariffs now face a protracted legal process that could overshadow trade talks and delay the implementation of existing deals, including with Britain.

The Trump administration has won a temporary reprieve through the appeal, which means the tariffs will be reinstated while the case makes its way through the courts.
