Need a place to put all the daily random idiocy and outrageousness coming out of the Trump administration. I'll start with this:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/19/rubio-moves-to-strip-us-visas-from-eight-brazilian-judges-in-bolsonaro-battle

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”.

 

Bolsanaro has many issues but do you realize just how big of a piece of shit Lula is?

 

 

Sounds a lot like what we’re dealing with here.  Turd to the left of me, poop to the right…

Not really. But how does that matter? What is Trump doing involving the United States in an internal Brazilian political fight?

Countries meddle all of the time. Russia meddled with our elections, remember? The U.N. decided to waste its breath claiming Lula was unfairly prosecuted, despite numerous charges of corruption that were pretty cut and dry. 

Exposing one of the most corrupt countries for what it is, isn't something that should be a surprise, nor frowned upon.

So many echoes and parallels to what we've seen in the last ten years.

Not really Trump actions, here, but commentary on Trump from both ends of the political spectrum:

Just like no public money was supposed to be going into prepping the new Air Force One gift aka bribe,

 

until somehow / someway a big chunk of public money was magically reallocated 

They've already moved nearly a billion dollars in the Defense budget to pay for the private jet renovations. 

 

link?

 

 

Are you really questioning that the expensive private jet renovations will cost taxpayers a lot of money?  It would obviously have to be moved from somewhere.

I'm sure mcm and the other MAGA folks here will give it a good defense anyway...I'm sure it is somehow the evil left's fault after all.

@hurryinghoosiers correct. the people have spoken.  woke is dead.  it's over.  we're throwing dildos on the court and putting sweeney in tiny tops.  step by step we're restoring order to this country.  you might even say: making america great again
