Trump basically has two White House attorneys working in tandem. Once that collusion is measurable Blanche can be impeached.
Trump is going to need all the help he can get and Blanche is a proven shark in the water that can get him off the hook. Trump ignores judges. When judges rule against him he plays with concepts outside the meaning of the words and plays with words in ways they were not meant to be used. The Webster and Oxford dictionaries have to start a new series of contorted meanings and uses.
"The Dictionary of Contorted Meaning and Us
Seriously. Trump abuses language so very badly it has to be defined for what it is. Just imagine what translators go through.
Every linguist knows there was a time when language didn't exist and the ability to communicate did. Africa is a prime example of how diverse language is and how it creates barriers that can even cause wars. There is something like 10,000 different languages and dialects in Africa. It is easy to see how bigotry can develop and how hatred takes shape.
It is easy to see how those estranged by Trump's idiocy and that is exactly what it is simply disregards it as gibberish. But. Trump has been able to manipulate the meaning of language to bring about a power structure capable do killing. The complexity of language involves emotion. Words have meaning but there is also emotion attached to those meanings in many instances. So, the ABUSE of language and communication has to be identified. In a free society language is vital to carry out life itself, ask any marriage councilor.
But, the USA is entering a danger zone whereby legal language is being FORCED into cause societal change. The Roberts Court does not separate church and state. Stare decisis is regarded as a hurdle to changing the meaning of law and societal norms. There is a lot going on all at once in the USA when it comes to the use of language, of which is propagated by commercialization. There is nothing wrong with commercials selling products, but, it is definitely linked to emotions to bring about thought to sell a product. That free spirited thinking is a product of the USA's economy and is healthy, however, it also gives license to adverse use of human emotions. In the case of politics and law those emotions are linked to language, the only tool possible to bring about hostile environments that ultimately kill.
Trump is highly confrontational all the time. He causes emotional responses and he knows what he is triggering or HOPES to trigger. Language is becoming a tool to encourage adversity and not peace or prosperity.
"Houston we have a problem."
There is a disconnect, with MAGAs especially, to react to language out of preconceived understandings and loyalties. There is a disconnect from the cognitive understanding of society/civilization/norms. Trumps jargon and dogma has gone on from the first term unmitigated. He has taken that programming and begun his own society of violence triggered at his demand. The contorted understanding of the USA power structures in MAGA language is disconnected from real understanding of life and substituted with misinformation and guidance toward confrontation.
Leadership is missing in the Republican Party. It just is. The party has become complacent to insult and injury to the USA Constitution. It is where corruption and racketeering takes over.
I will tell you how far I believe this corruption of language and meaning goes, even so far as NATO.
Trump has insulted NATO since his first out of step maneuvering with the review of troops with the Late Queen Elizabeth II. Now, NATO is seeing an assault on it's prowess in order to weaken and destroy it and by whom, Putin? No, the USA. There is every reason to state the treaty is violated by Trump and Hegseth. At a time of much needed readiness, including border incursions (Trump has massive efforts in border protections of the USA) Hegseth is ordering NATO (where he gets the idea he has the authority to order anything at NATO is beyond my imagination) to change power structures while removing much needed troops and TROOP BUILD UP. I am not even talking about Ukraine. This is NATO. As far as I am concerned, Trump and Hegseth are derelict in their RESPONSIBLITY to NATO. They are not only derelict, they are insubordinate to the treaty and the USA Constitution that governs treaties. I believe their violations are so profound and HOSTILE there are grounds to Court-Martial them.
NATO discusses the issue of differences between countries within the alliance, however, that provision does not allow for the disintegration of the alliance. The countries are still members while they have their own difficulties. Congress of the USA has not dissolved the responsibility of the USA to NATO. Trump is playing a game of confrontation with every other ally the USA has while being tolerated by Congress and NATO. Hell, kick Trump and Hegseth out of the alliance on the basis of insubordination. Removing hostile elements of the alliance does not mean the USA is dissolved from it, quite the contrary. The Generals serving with NATO will have unquestioned authority to maintain the integrity of the alliance once the insubordination authority is resolved.
So, I have rattled on long enough. I think I make my point. Trumpism has contaminated the belief of civilization no different than Nazism overtook the German people.
Enough.
It took re-education of Germany to return the people to civilization and the peaceful use of power we came to trust.
On Wednesday’s broadcast (click here) of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) dared Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed to continue to campaign with Hasan Piker now that the primary election in Michigan is over and El-Sayed is trying to win in the general election.
Fetterman said, [relevant remarks begin around 3:25] “El-Sayed, he just won. And I just want to issue a dare, continue to campaign with Hasan Piker right now. You’re in a general election now. I dare you, I dare you. Keep campaigning with someone like Hasan Piker. If I was a Republican, I would just dump $20 million for ads, he pals around with Piker, a guy that — on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, my best friend says America deserved 9/11. And you’re going to try to win a general election? So that’s — how can he reconcile the outlandish thing that he said and his record?”
Fetterman continued, “And I’d also remind people that…the majority of Michigan Dems picked someone [else] that wasn’t El-Sayed, too. He barely, barely won by 14,000 votes. And if McMorrow wasn’t in that race, without a doubt, he would have lost that. So, he’s not had a big night.”...
Abdul El-Sayed is the future and the way forward.
He won't abandon us.

WIESBADEN, Germany — Leadership of NATO’s mission (click here) to oversee support to Ukraine has switched hands as U.S. European Command began shifting responsibility for parts of the effort to European allies.
Lt. Gen. Curtis Buzzard relinquished command of the U.S. Security Assistance Group-Ukraine and NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine to Lt. Gen. Guillaume N. Beaurpere during a ceremony at Clay Kaserne on Monday.
“It has been a privilege to lead this extraordinary multinational team,” Buzzard said. “Together, we have created a window of opportunity for Ukraine to achieve peace. This window will grow as Ukraine continues to raise the cost of war for Russia.”...
Trump has been pulling USA troops out of NATO for no real apparent reason. My guess is he wants instead to put American boots on the ground in Iran. But, pulling troops out of NATO willy nilly is not in the best interest of the USA. So, why not leave NATO vulnerable at the same time Trump builds deployment to Iran? Otherwise, he might have to risk a military draft and that would be political suicide before the Midterms.
There is nothing to say NATO is not capable of being without USA Troops, HOWEVER, we have a treaty and right now Article 5 (collective defense - click here) is active. There is every reason to believe the USA should be building up troop strength in Europe and not reducing it.
One of the reasons Ukraine was provided support for their war effort was for the protection of NATO. Initially, there was every reason to believe Putin's aggression was never about NATO, but, simply about Russian speaking people. That was the narrative out of Moscow, however, that has changed this year. There have been Russian incursions into NATO borders and Article 5 has been activated. The simple act of initiating that alertness and readiness has not deterred Vladimir Putin.
There is every reason to believe Putin will be assaulting former Soviet states. There is absolutely no reason to believe differently. This has been Putin's long terms goals and his deceptive diplomacy and overt aggression of Ukraine openly conveys Putin's ambitions for eastern Europe. It is outrageous there is even one USA soldier leaving NATO, yet along thousands.
I believe the NATO alliance has a strong case against the actions of Trump and even more so against the highly bigoted and racist Hegseth. Hegseth's recklessness alone endangers American lives in the USA military as I write this. The NATO alliance needs to consider taking action against this administration. The USA military is not a lone entity in the world simply taking malicious orders from an incompetent Commander and Chief. The USA military is a global presence and up to the point where Hegseth became Secretary of Defense, was a highly competent and welcome part of world peace initiatives.
I believe if the alliances of the USA act to bring their case to the people and structure of the treaty they will be able to thwart what is an openly disregard for the readiness of alliances spanning decades that has served the balance of power exceptionally well.
As far as Iran goes, it is no real threat to anyone. The country, with exception of missiles has been degraded in it's military expertise. That is a matter of fact, not strategy by the Free World. Trump has moved in ways to attack not only military targets, but, religious targets as well. The assassination of the Supreme Leader was completely unnecessary. Iran posed no threat. As a matter of fact, the reason Trump had to abandon his Palace Air Force One for the real Air Force One was because the people were clearly demonstrating with signs in English stating "We will kill Donald Trump." Shoulder fired missiles are a reality and on take off without the capacity of the REAL Air Force One it could have burst into flames. Those same Iranians not long ago were demonstrating for their civil rights. Now, with attacks on their country they are demonstrating for the end of war and the removal of Trump's and/or his death.

What is it?
It is an anti-First Amendment Fund.
During the time of Hitler it was advantageous for citizens of Germany to be loyal to the Third Reich. Citizens were rewarded in one way or another for their loyalty in ratting on Jews and the an people that protected them.
So, how does Trump go about ending Freedom of Speech without an amendment to the USA Constitution which he would never get anyway?
Rewards. First a person would have to buy into Trump's lies and hatred which drives the lies, and want to make them the truth. Hence, the changes in historical sites and renaming monuments to serve his purpose like the John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts. Eventually, Trump would build enough momentum to remove the Late President's name and leave only his own.
$1.776 billion US is a lot of reward.
So, if there were reasons to turn someone into ICE (instead of the Jews or maybe someday even the Jews) there would be a reward not only for the number of immigrants reported but the people protecting them or housing them or employing them.
That is what that money was for, but, why anti-weaponization? Because the MAGAs talked about that. The weaponization of this and the weaponization of that so the money was to be a way to anti-weaponize all those terrible, terrible things and people causing the MAGAs social distress.
Trump is currently bringing racism to USA policy. He is removing protected status from every group of people currently protected by USA immigration law. Why racism? Because it is one group after another group after another group without any real reason to carry out such mass deportations. He is pretending it is about protecting the vote, but, it is about hatred and racism. Sorry, I just don't buy it that all those people break the law and vote without the proper credentials. Remember, Trump is deporting even those immigrants with Green Cards, so this is another way of attempting to put his thumb on the scale of the elections, too.
He is the administrative scapegoat.
A diary is not evidence when it is full of thoughts regarding scientific investigation.
There is no there, there.
For solid evidence it has to hold up past speculation. Dr. Fauci had a responsibility to look at every possible scenario.
If Trump is looking for a reason to bomb China he can continue with his hyperchristen hatred of every other form of diety, except himself, of course.
