"Very odd and disturbing" but quite what we should expect electing to the presidency a candidate with dozens of felony convictions.

Trump pardoning his Jan. 6 co-conspirators indicates Trump is less about serving either the People, or the Constitution, and more about serving himself.

BREAKING: Federal judge slams the door on Trump’s voter suppression scheme: “The president gets no say.”

Another day, another Trump power grab smacked down by the Constitution.

In a blistering rebuke, a federal judge permanently blocked key parts of Donald Trump’s sweeping anti-voting executive order—calling it not just illegal, but a direct threat to democracy.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly didn’t hedge or mince words. She reminded Trump of a basic civics lesson he’s spent years trying to erase: the President has no authority over election rules. None. Nada. Zero. Zilch.

“The Framers of our Constitution recognized that power over election rules could be abused,” she wrote, warning that such power could be used to “disempower the people.” That’s why the Constitution gives that authority to the states and Congress—not to a would-be strongman in the Oval Office.

Trump’s executive order tried to do exactly what voter suppression advocates have dreamed of for decades: make it harder to register, harder to stay registered, and easier to quietly block eligible voters—especially ....

Deputy attorney general makes announcement over fatal shooting in Minneapolis as fierce protests there continue

The US deputy attorney general announced on Friday that the justice department has opened a federal civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of the Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretti last Saturday by immigration officers, as fierce protests continued on the streets there.

“We’re looking at everything that would shed light on that day,” Todd Blanche, deputy to the attorney general, Pam Bondi, said at a press conference on Friday morning in Washington DC.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also said on Friday that the FBI would lead the investigation into the latest killing.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/19/donald-trump-immigration-crackdown
Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse at the military veterans hospital in Minneapolis and an activist, died while protesting against aggressive immigration raids and protester-control tactics by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), border patrol and other federal agencies.

He was the third person shot during the surge of immigration enforcement personnel sent to the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota by the Trump administration as part of its mass deportation agenda, and the second to die after ....

note on IQ:
If intelligence were a single element parameter, SAT tests would not need both verbal & math.
The meme in #2,627 acknowledges a conspicuous deficiency.

But a few rousing choruses of - oh my gosh ain't it awful -
accomplishes little more than helping us to feel good about feeling bad.

The truth is President Donald J. Trump is an absolute world-class shyster.
One needn't have a sky high IQ to lie flagrantly, wildly, prolifically.

First wrongful death lawsuit filed against Trump administration over drug boat strikes​

The families of two Trinidadian men who were killed in an Oct. 14 strike on an alleged drug boat accused the U.S. in a lawsuit Tuesday of wrongful death and extrajudicial killings.
Jan. 27, 2026, 10:13 AM GMT-5 / Updated Jan. 27, 2026, 6:03 PM GMT-5 / By Courtney Kube
The lawsuit is the first of its kind to be filed against the Trump administration in federal court over its military campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Chad Joseph, 26, and Rishi Samaroo, 41, were killed in the U.S. military strike Oct. 14 while they were on a boat traveling from Venezuela to Trinidad, their family members allege in the lawsuit. The lawsuit says Joseph and Samaroo “had been fishing in waters off the Venezuelan coast and working on farms in Venezuela.” It says they were returning to their homes in Las Cuevas in Trinidad and Tobago when their boat was struck.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump said the strike killed all six men on the boat. Trump described them as “six male narcoterrorists” and said that the boat was “affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization” and that it “was trafficking narcotics.” The strike was the administration’s fifth in a campaign that has struck three dozen boats and killed at least 125 people, according to the Defense Department, since it began in early September. ...

It says the Oct. 14 airstrike violated two federal statutes: the Death on the High Seas Act, which allows family members to sue over wrongful deaths that occur more than 3 nautical miles from the U.S., and the Alien Tort Statute, which allows foreign nationals to sue in federal court over violations of international law.

The Trump administration has told members of Congress that the U.S. is in a non-international armed conflict with drug cartels, citing that as justification for using lethal military force against alleged drug boats. ...

“These premeditated and intentional killings lack any plausible legal justification,” the lawsuit says. “Thus, they were simply murders, ordered by individuals at the highest levels of government and obeyed by military officers in the chain of command.”

Just a reminder - a "stable genius" is simply the smartest horse in the barn.

As for IQ, while I agree that "intelligence" is not simply a single number but Trump has bragged about his "genius IQ" claiming it was 160. I doubt it was ever higher than 110 and it's definitely gone down from then.

Reportedly they got the horse to do that for the Mr. Ed camera with peanut butter.

This Trump rally image is not photoshop. Off Trump's right shoulder, a guy with a black MAGA hat
checking his wristwatch on camera. Not merely bored, demonstrably impatient.

And to Trump's left, actor Edgar Buchanan looking well in the new millennium. [just kiddin']

Or better yet, a parallel ("alternate") universe?

note:
We gain insight into the depth of conviction, determination of those demonstrating their beliefs in part by
the posters they brandish.
In the smaller Trump crowd depicted above, 5 of the 6 posters in the shot were all printed by the same machine.

Contrast that to pic below which reveals genuine grass roots diversity of thought and effort (and posters),
drawn together into the crowd by unanimity of intention.

"The horse that played Mister Ed, a Palomino named Bamboo Harvester, was trained to move his lips on cue primarily through the efforts of his trainer, Les Hilton, who used a combination of nylon thread techniques and, later, positive reinforcement. The popular story that peanut butter was used to make the horse "talk" was a fabrication created by actor Alan Young to keep the technical details secret and avoid disappointing children. "

Have to wonder how much of that is due to artists refusing to appear there.

He can use the same cheapo Home Hardware crap that he used in the Oval Office. That said, why would he care? After all, it's not his money that's going to be used.
