It’s Tuesday…

President Shitshow’s public schedule for…

He’s flying to the NATO summit to tell countries to “pay their fair share” for the day and then he’s flying back. You can find his overly detailed schedule here.

The Israel–Iran “ceasefire” — that is or isn’t a “ceasefire” — saw missile strikes long after it was supposed to take effect, leaving President Big Mad dropping the “F” bomb live on TV.

He first melted down via “Lies Social”.

At 1:08 AM D.C., time:

At 1:32 AM D.C., time he attacked the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

Powell’s testimony before Congress — the main event where the President of the United States is gleefully encouraging his cult to “really work this very dumb person over” — kicks off at 10 AM, D.C. time. Bring popcorn.

@6:50 AM D.C., time, President Egg on His Face begged Israel to not bomb Iran.

@7:28 AM D.C., time, he said Israel is not gonna drop the bombs.

@7:34 AM D.C., time, he said that Iran will never rebuild their nuclear facilities.

President gone wild continued to go wild on “Lies Social” after he said “fuck” on national TV.

@9:14 AM D.C., time:

He’s only attending one session before heading back to America.

@9:14 AM D.C. time, he generously “gave permission” for China to keep buying oil from Iran — because obviously, the entire world was just holding its breath, waiting for his official nod to continue exactly what they’ve been doing nonstop.

Reuters (06/20/2025):

Sellers of Iranian oil to China are offering deeper discounts this month as they look to reduce inventories and as independent refiners slow their buying due to a jump in crude prices, traders and analysts said.

STORAGE RISING Meanwhile, stocks of Iranian oil, including in Chinese storage, in tankers near and off Chinese ports awaiting discharge, and in floating storage near Malaysia and Singapore, amount to roughly 70 million barrels, according to analytics firm Vortexa.

That is enough for two months’ demand for Iranian oil from China, the biggest buyer.Data from tanker tracker Kpler points to a stockbuild of more than 30 million barrels this year in floating storage. Both Kpler and Vortexa estimate total Iranian oil on the water, including floating storage, at nearly 120 million barrels, the most since at least 2023.Recent U.S. sanctions on three Chinese teapots curtailed buying from several mid-sized independents worried about being designated, Reuters has reported.One trader estimated the volume of Iranian supply to China replaced by non-sanctioned barrels at 100,000 barrels per day in the first half of 2025 – a fraction of the 1.4-1.5 million bpd of Iranian oil being delivered to China.

Reuters (06/20/2025).

@9:17 AM D.C. time, he launched into yet another thrilling tirade against Rep. Massie — because why bother with anything new when you can just rehash the same drama, again and again.

Massie’s unforgivable offense remains the same: hovering near the cult without pledging full, blind allegiance. How dare he.

@9:36 AM D.C. time, he drops a screenshot of a gushy text from NATO’s own commander‑in‑chief, Mark Rutte — because nothing screams “global leadership” quite like broadcasting your fan mail from the alliance boss.

The message:

FT (Financial Times link via ChatGPT) says: A Nato official confirmed the message’s authenticity.

@9:56 AM D.C. time, he insisted AOC take the same cognitive test he aced—because nothing says intellectual debate like compulsory brain exams. Then he described Queens as “filthy” and “disgusting,” followed by a casual racist jab at Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Just another Tuesday.

The text:

Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the “dumbest” people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before.

The reason for her “rantings” is all of the Victories that the U.S.A. has had under the Trump Administration.

The Democrats aren’t used to WINNING, and she can’t stand the concept of our Country being successful again. When we examine her Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office but, nevertheless, far more qualified than Crockett, who is a seriously Low IQ individual, or Ilhan Omar, who does nothing but complain about our Country, yet the Failed Country that she comes from doesn’t have a Government, is drenched in Crime and Poverty, and is rated one of the WORST in the World, if it’s even rated at all.

How dare “The Mouse” tells us how to run the United States of America! We’re just now coming back from that Radical Left experiment with Sleepy Joe, Kamala, and “THE AUTOPEN,” in charge. What a disaster it was!

AOC should be forced to take the Cognitive Test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center, as part of my Physical. As the Doctor in charge said, “President Trump ACED it,” meaning, I got every answer right.

Instead of her constant complaining, Alexandria should go back home to Queens, where I was also brought up, and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she “represents,” and which she never goes to anymore. She better start worrying about her own Primary, before she thinks about beating our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, whose career is definitely on very thin ice!

She and her Democrat friends have just hit the Lowest Poll Numbers in Congressional History, so go ahead and try Impeaching me, again, MAKE MY DAY!

Nope. Not Linking it. 06/24/2025.

AOC did call for President Shitshow’s impeachment after he bombed Iran.

@10:07 AM D.C. time, President Meltdown declared “PEACE” — yes, all caps, again — and told the cult caucus to “finish the job” by passing the “GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL.” [audible sigh] That’s the same dumpster fire of a bill no one’s read, rewritten more times than his campaign slogans, but hey — we’re all just along for the ride at this point, right?

The dumpster fire bill has hit a few snags with the Senate Parliamentarian. That is to say the Senate rule called the “Byrd Rule” limits what can be included in the bill in order to still remain passable with 50 votes vs., the 60 votes.

Migrant Insider (06/23/2025):

The Senate Parliamentarian, Elizabeth Macdonough, has removed several controversial immigration provisions from the sweeping budget reconciliation bill known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” striking down attempts to expand state enforcement powers, limit immigrant access to public benefits, and restrict judicial review of federal immigration policy.

Among the provisions stripped from the Senate version of the bill:

  • State and Local Immigration Enforcement: A section (90005(b)) that would have allowed states to conduct border security and immigration enforcement—traditionally exclusive federal responsibilities—was removed for violating the Byrd Rule, which limits non-budgetary policy changes in reconciliation bills.
  • Sanctuary City Grant Restrictions: Language in Section 154 that would have blocked certain grant funding to so-called “sanctuary jurisdictions” was struck. The Parliamentarian ruled that conditioning funds on immigration policy compliance is a policy change unrelated to budgetary outcomes.
  • Expanded Arrest Powers for Local Officials: Section 155, which would have created a fund allowing local officials to arrest individuals suspected of being in the U.S. unlawfully, was rejected in its entirety. The provision, modeled after controversial Trump-era enforcement partnerships, was deemed an impermissible policy expansion.
  • SNAP Benefit Restrictions for Immigrants: A provision in Section 10108 that would have barred most non-citizens from receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits was removed. The Parliamentarian said the measure disproportionately targeted immigrants and did not meet the strict budgetary relevance required under reconciliation rules.
  • Judicial Bond Requirement: Section 203, which would have forced plaintiffs challenging immigration policy to post large financial bonds before obtaining temporary restraining orders or injunctions, was also eliminated. Legal analysts had warned the measure would severely restrict access to the courts.

Show more =’s I’m told this decision will be included in the batch of Byrd rulings slated to be released overnight tonight.

Stay tuned!

12:22 PM D.C. time…

The President, apparently operating with zero adult supervision, has blasted out 18 posts between 10:38 AM and 12:01 PM. The topics? Oh, just the usual nonsense: grandstanding about the Nobel Peace Prize like it’s a participation trophy, slobbering praise for Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee as if name-dropping somehow makes him relevant, recycled immigration bullshit guaranteed to put you to sleep, and the desperate, tiresome claim that former President Biden single-handedly wrecked the country—all delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face. Bravo.

I’m not sharing them.

This is an open thread

PS.

Today’s post’s snark was delivered by me and ChatGPT; I was bored and decided to give it a test run, when asking which affect/effect was correct. I will say that it was more fun working with ChatGPT, then I’ve had for a while. I promise not to relay on it for everything!
