I have no idea why the previous post got all fucked up and wouldn't let me delete the X, so I'm rewriting the post. Weird things have been happening lately.

Anyway, the point is that Trump forgot that he appointed Powell as chairman of the fed. It wouldn't take my link but it's all over the news.
 
Can't hold onto the House? Redraw the maps.

The president’s directive signals part of the strategy Trump is likely to take to avoid a repeat of his first term, when Democrats flipped the House just two years into his presidency. It comes shortly before the GOP-controlled Texas Legislature is scheduled to begin a special session next week during which it will consider new congressional maps to further marginalize Democrats in the state.

Asked as he departed the White House for Pittsburgh about the possibility of adding GOP-friendly districts around the country, Trump responded, “Texas will be the biggest one. And that’ll be five.”

Trump had a call earlier Tuesday with members of Texas' Republican congressional delegation and told them the state Legislature would pursue five new winnable seats through redistricting, according to a person familiar the call who was not authorized to discuss it. The call was first reported by Punchbowl News.

How about the White House?
White House Website 11/2/17 said:
Today, President Donald J. Trump nominated Jerome H. Powell of Maryland to be Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for a term of four years beginning February 3, 2018. As a member of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors since May 2012, Mr. Powell has demonstrated steady leadership, sound judgment, and policy expertise. Mr. Powell will bring to the Federal Reserve a unique background of Government service and business experience. He previously served as Under Secretary at the Department of Treasury in the administration of President George H.W. Bush. Mr. Powell also has nearly three decades of business experience. He attended Princeton University where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Politics in 1975. He continued his studies at Georgetown University, where he earned a Juris Doctor. While at Georgetown, Mr. Powell served as the editor-in-chief of the Georgetown Law Journal.

Yesterday, during an event held at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, President Donald Trump claimed his uncle John Trump knew and taught the Unabomber:
Kaczynski was one of his students. Do you know who Kaczynski was? There's very little difference between a madman and a genius. But Kaczynski, I said, what kind of a student was he, Uncle John, Dr. John Trump? He said, what kind of a student? And then he said, seriously, good. He said he'd correct, he'd go around correcting everybody, but it didn't work out too well for him. Didn't work out too well, but it's interesting in life.

No, Thomas Kaczynski was not one of John Trump's students. John Trump taught at MIT. Kaczynski never attended MIT. Furthermore, Kaczynski's academic studies were narrowly focused on mathematics, so Kaczynski would never have had any reason to take a course from or even to meet Dr John Trump, who was a professor of electrical engineering and physics.

Furthermore, the fact that Kaczynski became the Unabomber was not known until after John Trump's death, so John Trump saying "it didn't work out too well for him" is Donald Trump's invention.

Donald Trump lies all the time, often for no discernible purpose, so the story Donald Trump made up about his uncle and the Unabomber might be nothing more than just another pointless lie. On the other hand, that story (and several other equally false stories Trump incorporated into his remarks) might be yet another sign of Trump's cognitive decline.

I’m genuinely uncertain that Trump knew that it was a lie. He has always been a bullshitter ( and so was Reagan) but I think the point at which he knew the difference between the bullshit and fact has long since passed. For Trump, the purpose of that story was to somehow make him seem bigger, better, more intelligent and more qualified. More special. So truth doesn’t actually matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is himself. That is unpleasant and dangerous in ordinary citizens. For an elected official: It’s terrifying.

He talks a lot like Hulk Hogan. A guy that apparently can't remember anything from the past. Dude used to lie a lot, but now his grasp on reality and the past appears loose. It is hard to tell if he has lied about it so much that he can't actually tell the difference or whether he thinks these things are actually true.

The anecdote provided by Trump appeared to be so random. Yes, he is trying to use stolen valor to improve his image, but bringing up the Unabomber? Is he trying to say that smart people are crazy? It just becomes impossible to know if the madness has purpose. It could just be madness.
 
It's true that Trump lies a lot, almost every time his lips are moving, but I think that he really forgot he appointed Powell and I think he probably believes the stupid story about the Unabomber, as there has been plenty of examples recently that his cognition is getting worse. it's hard to tell his lies from his memory lapses these days. And, it's sad that we have such a mentally deranged president who is also in at least stage one or two of dementia.

The Big Beautiful Bill Act already helps the billionaire class more than they ever hoped for. In fact, they know they'll have to give some of this corrupt payola back, as backlash against cuts to Health insurance and Education mounts. So of course WSJ and the backers of FoxNews have gotten what they want. They are smart enough to know that hijacking the FedRes, xenophobia, lunatic tariffs, crypto Ponzis and other Trumpist agenda are NOT in their interest. If there were a way for the billionaires to infect Trump with fatal thrombosis or WTF he's got, they'd probably want that.

And the Red-shirts have installed plans to usurp future elections. Even with huge anti-Trump sentiment MAGA may win the 2026 midterms just because there is so much disenfranchisement and other cheating.

With Trump's demise, the billionaires will push other pawns to replace him. The good news is that many of the logical Trump replacements -- consider Vance for example -- are so stupid and non-charismatic that even the MAGGOTs won't be happy to support them.

TL;DR: We live in interesting times; they may get even more interesting.
 
Bible prophecy? Meh. Here's some secular prophecy, though. It's from an H.L. Mencken column from 1920. The column was titled Bayard vs. Lionheart, and it's reprinted in a Mencken collection called A Carnival of Buncombe.

"As democracy is perfected, the office (he's referring to the Presidency) represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Prophecy made, prophecy kept.
 
This YouTube -- showing Senator Tim Kaine questioning Dep'y Sec'y of State Michael Rigas -- is less than 3 minutes long, and is a Must-Watch. It exposes the utter hypocrisy, the utter EVIL of the despicable MAGGOTS who have wrested control of the U.S.G. from Homo sapiens. These MAGGOTS had 500 tons of food ready to distribute to starving children, but thought it better to incinerate all 500 tons. Rigas had already been asked about this at least three times previously but "will have to look into that and get back to you."

Allegedly an alumnus of Boston University -- (Are their policies so DEI that they admit non-humans?) -- Rigas did not know the name of B.U.'s most famous alumnus despite that Rigas had already told him the answer!

If any of you is still on speaking terms with the MAGA supporters here at IIDB, please ask them what they think of this.
 
Only in the tRump White House would anyone think that this is appropriate. Puke!

The best reply I've heard is "Trump is like Superman in that the Epstein Files are his kryptonite."
