Make it stop.
In early July, after the new DC Reflecting Pool paint started peeling, Dept of Interior Secretary Burgum stated the US had evidence of wrongdoing and that “acts of vandalism” were caught on camera.
US Atty Jeanne Pirro presented “evidence” and got an indictment of former US Olympian David Hearn for that vandalism from a DC Grand Jury.
President Trump stated “We have photographs, or tapes…” In addition, he said in June “We also have pictures… ”. When he was pressed to show those images, he said they would come out in time. “At the right time you’ll see it,” he said. “You’ll see it in court.”
But then reality set in.
US Atty Pirro, after getting the indictment against Hearn actually sat down to look at the evidence and realized something… there was no evidence. No photos, no tapes, no nothing. She had stepped up to do the president’s bidding and was caught holding the bag.
Even as she dropped the case, Trump essentially ripped her a new one in stating "I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro on the Reflecting Pool.” He then went on to add the following…
"Frankly, I think she choked, because the judge was really vicious.” And that he said she "folded like a cheap umbrella”.
Yesterday he had this to say after admitting there was “contractor error” on the job…
“…there is no video or proof, other than the damage, itself,”, essentially exonerating Hearn and Pirro.
None of the above is in dispute. It’s all part of the public record and included in court filings and POTUS Trump’s own Truth Social postings.
Conclusions… I’ll admit, I don’t want to be charitable to the POTUS. I’m fed up with Trump, his lies, his profiteering off the office of the presidency, and his petty narcissism.
But I’m willing to say that it is possible no one in the Oval Office orbit was actually aware of the truth. Perhaps in a rush to satisfy the demands of the president, Burgum and Pirro just went along with what Trump wanted, hoping some real evidence would later turn up.
Because the only alternative is that all three of them knew early on that the president had gotten out over his skis, and it was their job to protect him… even if it meant lying to the American people.
What say you?

I say you're too willing to give the clowns and sycophants of the trump administration the benefit of the doubt that they, (at the behest of their cult leader trump) would never given you.
This is what happens when authoritarian followers surrender their conscience to their authoritarian leader.
Not to mentions murdering protesters in cold blood on the streets.
"I vass chust folloving orders!"
Unlike Brennan and Comey, who went WAY over their ski's to protect their FORMER boss. Barack Obama.
What I find most ironic is that Biden created an illegal immigrant crisis with no not-authoritarian means to solve, and then Democrats scream at the man who attempts to solve it, because their white guilt-pride prevents them from participating in the solution. *tsk-tsk*
Trump is karma
Both Republican and Democratic administrations share the blame for our southern border crises.
"Republican and Democratic administrations approached southern border enforcement differently, with Republican administrations generally favoring more visible, restrictive, and militarized deterrence strategies. However, how "lax" an administration appears often depends on global migration pressures, economic pull factors, and legal constraints rather than party affiliation alone.
Both parties have struggled to control migration spikes driven by severe foreign crises, post-pandemic economic demand in the U.S., and transnational smuggling networks.
Federal laws governing asylum rights, limited detention capacity, and federal court rulings have constrained both Republican and Democratic presidents from entirely closing or sealing the border."
Let's try this -FJ/Joe/Thersites... You're right on all counts. But the discussion today is Trump, Pirro and Sec Burgum, all of whom have been shown to have lied to the American people, brought a fake lawsuit and lied to the court.
In any real world, that would certainly lead to disbarment.
In the end, we are still left with the central question...
Did all three of the folks I cited lie, or we're they totally unaware of the facts, as Pirro is seeming to claim?
Trump is idiot
Yup, trump certainly is an idiot. Supported by a dwindling number of idiot cultists.
They were aware. They lied. Pirro is merely attempting to deflect responsibility in an attempt to cover her own lying reichwing ass.
You ask this after all the Biden Admin and all the Trump indictments?
Four separate criminal indictments comprising 88 total counts were brought against Donald Trump. Of these, only one indictment (the New York state hush-money case) ultimately prevailed through trial, resulting in a conviction on 34 felony counts, though he later received an unconditional discharge. The other three indictments—two federal cases and one Georgia state case—did not prevail, ultimately being dismissed or dropped
What about THOSE prosecutions? Were those prosecutors disbarred?
We need an unbiased judiciary. We do not have one. Jurisdiction shopping is the NORM, not the exception.
I agree. The Neoliberal UniParty segment of both parties profit from cheap labour and corporate cronyism.
Dave, we live in a state of hyper-real hypernormalization. What would it mean to know, direct witnessing of events, or hearing reports of events by unreliable others (some official, some not)?
To be fair, how big is an injection relative to a baby as compared to a full grown adult? Is it "soda bottle" big?
