Flooding the Zone -- off the wall Trump stuff

UncleMark · 2025-07-20T19:51:07Z

Need a place to put all the daily random idiocy and outrageousness coming out of the Trump administration. I'll start with this:As the day of judgment nears, Trump has been increasing pressure on the court and President Lula’s administration. On 9 July, the US president announced he would impose 50% tariffs on all Brazilian imports as of 1 August, partly as a result of the supposed persecution of his ally. The move triggered an outpouring of nationalist anger in the South American country, with Lula describing it as “unacceptable blackmail”. On Friday, after federal police raided Bolsonaro’s house and fitted him with an electronic tag to stop him absconding, Rubio announced further moves in support of the defendant, who he claimed was the victim of a “political witch hunt”. Writing on X, Rubio said he had ordered visa revocations for the judge leading the investigation into Bolsonaro, Alexandre de Moraes, as well as “his allies on the court” and their family members. Rubio did not name his other targets but the Brazilian newspaper O Globo identified them as Luís Roberto Barroso, José Antonio Dias Toffoli, Cristiano Zanin, Flávio Dino, Cármen Lúcia Antunes Rocha, Luiz Edson Fachin and Gilmar Ferreira Mendes. Two other judges who were nominated to the court during Bolsonaro’s 2019-23 presidency, André Mendonça and Kassio Nunes Marques, reportedly avoided the sanction, as did a third judge, Luiz Fux. Lula denounced what he called “another arbitrary and completely groundless measure from the US government”.

He couldn't just let "America250" run with the celebration. He had to sign an executive order and form his own group (Freedom250) so he could control it and be the star. He truly believes he's the greatest star who has ever lived, and has to make everything about himself.

He killed the Kennedy Center. He killed the talent lineup for the Great American State Fair celebration in DC. He has a long history of turning things he touches into shit.
