It’s been a busy week jammed packed with news and events mostly emanating from Trump and minions. The amount of damaging information seeping out of the White House seems to have increased dramatically. Rats fleeing the sinking ship?
Another New Year Bites the Dust!
Happy Year of the Fire Horse!
Chinese New Year is one of the top five new years of the year!
The Epstein Files
There was a lot about the Epstein Files in the news. I’ve had lots of thoughts like everyone else, but nowhere to really post it on Ye Olde Blogge besides here.
Lutnick’s Nannies
Was I the only one who was disappointed that Congressional questioners of Howard Lutnick didn’t ask him about the interest Epstein had expressed in one f his nannies and was that the reason he brought his nannies to Epstein’s Rape Island? Was that why his nannies were so top of mind for him during the hearing was because he was trafficking one of them to Epstein?
Trafficking in Secret-Sensistive Documents
The Prince formerly known as Andrew has been arrested for passing sensitive government documents to Epstein. Who else had sensitive government documents to pass to Epstein? Someone who stored secret documents illegally at Merde-a-Lardo and his NYC home, perhaps?
Am I the only one who thinks the real explosive information in the files is the trade in state secrets and money laundrying?
Exonerated?
Is Trump’s gleeful claims that he’s been exonerated — based solely on Bondi’s testimony before the House committee apparently — from criminal wrongdoing in the Epstein files is (a) wishful thinking and (b) projection and confession?
Was Giuffre Trafficked to Wexler?
Last Epstein File thought: Why hasn’t a reporter or member of Congress asked publicly about Virginia Giuffre’s sworn testimony that she was trafficked to Les Wexner? Even if the old pervert denied it, the question should be asked, right?
Who’s Concentrating?
Trump is building a massive capacity in concentration camps. They aren’t leasing warehouse space, they are buying it. These are at least semi-permanent. Once Trump has sated his lust for torturing People of Color at the concentration camps. And, the for-profit prison companies have squeezed every cent out of the mass deportation policy. What will they do with them then? Who will they house there? Who will the for-profit prison companies be paid for jailing?
Trump’s Bruised Hands and Canckles
I figure that Trump has congestive heart failure (CHF) and that explains the bruising on his hands and his canckles. He’s probably taking IV’s to aggressively treat his advanced CHF. Why he’s not wearing compression socks, though, I don’t know. I figured him to be too vain not to. Maybe he thinks no one will notice?
It’s been another busy week in the #GOPDystopia, but there are signs that the wheels are coming off the fascist bus. We’re not out of the dark yet, but at least we got a clever new nickname for Trump, Orange Canckle.

The Psy of Life 
I wonder whether CHF would also explain T’s public napping, or is he just that easily bored.
He still thinks the other countries pay the tariffs that SCOTUS just torpedoed. Of course, he says he will find a way around that. Still, he just lost his favorite form of leverage, not only internationally, but on every business or investor involved in trade.
Even some very deep Red places are deciding they don’t want either the concentration camps or data centers. The “detention centers” are clearly a major grift operation even if nobody ever gets put there. Follow the money!
The Epstein pot is really just beginning to boil, especially across the pond. The oligarchs here will try to clamp a lid on it. That will turn it into a pressure cooker with no relief valve.

Howdy Bob!
One detail not lost on Trump and other people in the files is that as foreign countries investigate their nationals, details about Americans can be uncovered and made public. There is little to no influence that the administration will have over European allies over their investigations, especially considering the poor treatment they’ve received by Trump.
CHF and its treatment can account for his drowsiness. If you’re not moving blood around your body very efficiently, the brain gets too little oxygen and sugar which can result in drowsiness. It doesn’t help that he is so easily bored, but that’s what you get when you have executive dysfunction.
Of course, the SCOTUS decision against his tariffs is a narcissistic wound. He’s just devastated by the decision. His immediate statement about imposing new tariffs is just a fuck you to the Supremes. He’s not going to be reigned in or constrained by law or courts, even SCOTUS. He will collect tariffs unless and until something or someone stops him. We’ll see if anyone does or can.
Huzzah!
