At one point, Iran and the United States were working on a deal. A moment later, Iran and the U.S. weren’t working on a deal. But don’t worry, the leader of the free world said he couldn’t care less if the negotiations are over.
The mayor of Mar-a-Lago is said to be backing off the idea of establishing a $1.776 billion “victimization” fund, but president donald j. felon* hasn’t confirmed it. The “backing off” comes in the wake of a court ruling halting the creation of the slush fund.
After multiple less-than-A-list musical artists said they were pulling out of the Great American State Fair concert because, surprise surprise, it wasn’t non-partisan as they were pitched, the adjudicated rapist said that maybe he’ll just turn the event into a maga rally and headline it himself.

Shortly before midnight Tuesday, demented don posted again his brag about scoring 30 out of 30 on a cognitive assessment test and said that he looks 14 years younger than he is.
He also endorsed a bunch of GOP candidates via his little social media thingie including Rep. Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey, saying Kean was “working tirelessly” for the people of the nation and “HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” The president failed to mention that Kean hasn’t been seen publicly since March and has missed more than 100 votes in the House.
President Epstein Files may also be smarting over a few other decisions, such as a judge ruling against the secretary of war crimes’ decision to ban transgender service members, a judge finding that the president’s name was illegally added to the Kennedy Center and must be removed and the news that the prosecutor for the James Comey “86-47” seashell case stepped down without explanation.
I’m not saying he’s had a few bad days, but maybe the orange makeup man was a little upset when he made the head-scratching announcement that someone who has absolutely no military or intelligence background will add “acting director of national intelligence” to his resume.
Yes, Bill Pulte, who is best known for bringing charges related to mortgage fraud against the president’s political opponents, was chosen to succeed Tulsi Gabbard as the head of the U.S. intelligence and national security apparatus, Mediaite reported.
Pulte, who runs the Federal Housing Finance Agency and is chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, referred New York AG Letitia James, Rep. Eric Swalwell, Sen. Adam Schiff, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to the Department of Justice to investigate them for mortgage fraud.
Since he was confirmed by the senate to his current position, he is eligible to be acting DNI and will be doing all three jobs.
Not surprisingly, there are concerns over Pulte’s appointment from both sides of political spectrum.
Conservative radio host Erick Erickson called Pulte “one of the worst members of the President’s team,” who has “convinced Trump to do more stupid stuff than anyone else in the past year,” Mediaite reported.
GOP operative Matt Mackowiak said the choice of Pulte was “indefensible,” while Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia said “the president has chosen an official who has demonstrated not just willingness but eagerness to use the authorities of government to pursue political retribution.”
So someone with no intelligence experience is the choice of a president who has no intelligence.
Fitting, isn’t it?
