The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

1754508084533.png

Several sections of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution appear to have been removed from the official U.S. government website, as pointed out by sleuths on the internet and as seen by TechCrunch.

The changes were made in the past month, according to the Wayback Machine, which shows the full original text on Congress’ website as of July 17.


Several Reddit threads identified the changes in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution: Large parts of Section 8 have been removed, and Sections 9 and 10 have been deleted altogether. In the screenshot below, you can see the archived version of the site on the Wayback Machine on the left, and the current site on the right — the text highlighted in yellow has been removed.

These sections largely relate to the powers that Congress has and does not have, as well as limitations on the powers of individual states. The removal includes sections relating to habeas corpus, the powers that protect citizens from unlawful detention.

Some of the sections’ text appears missing, as indicated by a trailing semicolon at the end of Section 8, where text used to follow.

In a tweet posted on Wednesday, the Library of Congress said the sections were missing “due to a coding error” and expect it to be “resolved soon.” When contacted by TechCrunch, a spokesperson for the Library of Congress did not say what caused the coding error, or how it was introduced.

Changing the U.S. Constitution’s text on the website does not change or have any effect on U.S. law, but it nevertheless follows senior Trump administration official Stephen Miller’s threats earlier this year to suspend habeas corpus.

When reachd by TechCrunch, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle declined to comment beyond the Library of Congress’ post.

This is no longer political theatre.
This is war prep. This is banana republic shit.
And the punchline?
Half the country still thinks the Democrats are overreacting.

“Technical State of Civil War”

Let’s dispense with the pleasantries.

We are at war.

Not a shooting war.

Not yet.

But something worse in its own quiet, choking way—a technical state of civil war. The kind of war that makes cowards of rules and turns procedure into shrapnel.

And in Texas, Greg Abbott is lighting the fuse.

On August 4th, Governor Abbott announced—proudly, defiantly—that any Democratic legislator who fails to appear for a surprise session of the Texas state legislature by August 5th will see their seat declared vacant.

This, in a bald attempt to force a quorum for an unscheduled redistricting effort that would gerrymander at least five new Republican congressional seats into existence.
Five seats.

Bought not with votes, but with ink and knives.

Five seats to hold the U.S. House hostage after a 2026 election that, by all current indicators, will be a biblical catastrophe for the Republican Party.

This is not about state politics.

This is not about Texas.

This is about power.

This is about permanently tipping the balance of national representation using the architecture of a dying republic to rig the new one being born behind its back.
It is a dagger aimed at the heart of the Constitution itself—and it is being ....

Following on #1,206 and what it means

August 6, 2025 (Wednesday)

Members of the House of Representatives are back in their districts for August, and on Monday, Republican Mike Flood of Nebraska held a town hall in Lincoln. A woman asked what she called a fiscal question. She said: “With 450 million FEMA dollars being reallocated to open Alligator Alcatraz, and 600 million taxpayer FEMA dollars being used to now open more concentration camps, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country?” The crowd cheered wildly. Nicholas Wu, Cassandra Dumay, and Mia McCarthy of Politico reported today that by the end of Flood’s town hall, “chants of ‘Vote him out!’ threatened to drown out his closing comments.”

The Politico reporters also said that Republicans maintain they aren’t worried about their angry constituents and dismiss the town hall pushback as astroturfed and not reflective of real voter sentiment.

Maybe. But with the political tide running strong against the administration, that position sounds like posturing.

Trump’s firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the same day that numbers from that bureau showed a dramatic slowdown in the economy seems to have awakened businesspeople who were willing to back Trump to the reality that he’s pulling down the economy. Today Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook expressed concern about the jobs numbers, suggesting that the big revisions in them “are somewhat typical of ....

Let’s pretend:
Canada makes maple syrup (because we do!), and we sell it to stores in the United States.

Now imagine this:
🧑‍🦱
A kid in the U.S. wants maple syrup, why because it's so dang yummy!!!!!

He goes to the store and sees a bottle for $6.

But one day, the President of the United States (like Trump) says:

“Let’s put a tariff on that Canadian maple syrup. We’ll charge an extra $3 when it crosses the border.”

What does that mean?

It doesn’t mean Canada pays $3.

It means:

The store in the U.S. now has to pay $3 extra to buy that syrup.

So the store raises the price to $9 to cover the cost.

And now, the kid pays more.

💰
Who pays the $3?

The person in the U.S. is buying the syrup.

Not the Canadian farmer. Not Canada.

The buyer pays. So, the Billions that are pouring 'into' the USA from Tariffs, where is that money coming from? You, the US citizen. Can that be ....

BREAKING: Georgia's former Republican Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan enrages MAGA world by switching parties to become a Democrat in a stunning rebuke of Trump's party.

This is true political courage...

"There’s no date on a calendar or line in the sand that points to the exact moment in time my political heart changed, but it has,” Duncan wrote in a new op-ed for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “My decision was centered around my daily struggle to love my neighbor, as a Republican.”

He stated that his journey to become a Democrat stated even before Trump attempted to "steal" the election in 2020 and undermine the democratic will of the people.

Duncan reeled off a murder's row of issues he has with the modern Republican Party, citing ....

Definitely another attempt to rig the system

August 7, 2025 (Thursday)

At 7:22 this morning, President Donald J. Trump posted on social media: “I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Trump has no power to change the timing of the U.S. Census, which is mandated by the Constitution to take place every ten years.

He also has no power to declare that undocumented immigrants won’t be counted: the Constitution specifies that representatives “shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State.” MAGA turns sometimes to the Fourteenth Amendment’s exclusion of “Indians not taxed” from the count for representation as proof that lawmakers recognized that some people should be excluded from the census. But, in fact, “not taxed” identified a group of people who did not come under the purview of the United States government.

Just a year after the Civil War, lawmakers looked at the crisis caused by southern enslavers who had wielded outsized political power because the Constitution had allowed them to count enslaved Americans for purposes of representation and worried that a similar system would develop in the new states in the West. When they wrote the Fourteenth Amendment in 1866 (it was ratified in 1868), they explicitly ....

And here we go (again)

Read what a US aluminum manufacturer has to say about the reality of Trump's tariffs:

"We are the kind of company that should be thriving under President Trump’s tariffs.

At Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry, we melt aluminum and cast it into precision parts for trucks, medical equipment and satellites at our facilities across the northern Midwest. Our inputs are sourced locally. Our labor is old-fashioned American industrial grit. Our customers are national champions of industry. We are the poster child for the type of company the president seeks to support.

In theory, the steel and aluminum tariffs imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act should boost our production.

Reality has turned out to be different.

When Trump won the election, like many manufacturers, we were hopeful. The prior two years had brought shrinking demand for manufactured goods. The morning after ....

BREAKING: Mexico's superstar President Claudia Sheinbaum brings her foot down on Donald Trump and forcefully rejects his plot to deploy U.S. forces to her country to fight drug cartels after his secret plans leak.

This woman outmaneuvers our fascist president at every turn...

“The United States is not going to come to Mexico with the military. We cooperate, we collaborate, but there is not going to be an invasion. That is ruled out, absolutely ruled out,” Sheinbaum told The New York Times.

“It is not part of any agreement, far from it. When it has been brought up, we have always said no.”

Her remarks come in the wake of a report from the Times which revealed that Trump signed an order in secret for the Pentagon to "begin using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels" that his administration has labeled terrorist organizations.

The Times also reported that "U.S. military officials have started drawing up plans for how the military could target cartels."

The order opens the door to full-blown military operations against the cartels, which could in turn lead to mission creep, the eventual deployment of boots on the ground, and the mass deaths of civilians much like ....

This is but one of the penalties Trump pays as a leader, and our nation pays as a People.
Trump wallows in, thrives on unpredictability, nearly all the rest of the diplomatic world doesn't.

The U.S. aiding Mexico's battle against drug cartels may be an idea well worth exploring.
A more diplomatic approach might have revolutionized is.

Trump has sabotaged himself with his own self-indulgent style.
At least it makes clear Trump's priorities.

Thank you President Sheinbaum.
