Trump admin rocked as UN human terror expert alleges 'crimes against humanity of murder'
These GOP assholes are absolute monster war criminals!
The United Nations official charged with policing counterterrorism hammered Donald Trump's year of lethal boat strikes, warning they may be crimes against humanity.
In a September briefing note, UN Special Rapporteur Ben Saul concluded the campaign amounts to "serial extrajudicial killings," counting at least 223 people killed in 68 strikes across the Caribbean and Pacific since September 2025.
He delivered a damning conclusion.
"There are reasonable grounds to believe that the reported 68 attacks that killed 223 people constituted crimes against humanity of murder under customary international law," the note stated.

Trump's blatant Kennedy Center lies unmasked with release of new tax returns
What a fucking evil piece of shit GOP asshole!
Alexander Willis
September 18, 2026 10:19AM ET
President Donald Trump’s claim that the Kennedy Center he’s now threatening to demolish was losing “hundreds of billions” of dollars before he “got involved” was exposed Friday as a blatant lie after Zeteo obtained a copy of the center’s 2025 tax returns.
…
Trump’s oft-repeated rationale for his takeover of the Kennedy Center has been the institution’s supposed financial struggles, which he’s described as dire. The center’s newly released 2025 tax returns, however, reveal that Trump “is both lying about previous losses and hiding his own deliberate financial assault,” Zeteo reported Friday.
…
“Interestingly, the tax return says that as of Sept. 30, 2025, roughly $330 million in federal appropriations — $310 million allotted for capital repair and restoration, and $20 million for operations and management — were being ‘held by [the] U.S. Treasury.’”

Public Health Is Done For
The summer of sickness was wrapping up. The toteboard was full. There had been listeria, measles, and cyclospora, the foodborne illness that injected the phrase, “explosive diarrhea” into the lexicon of our politics for the first time since the death of Rush Limbaugh.
There had been 160 food recalls, more than 24,000 cases of foodborne illnesses, 740 hospitalizations thereof, and a spate of fatalities. Measles were an even worse story. By the end of August, there were severe outbreaks in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia. Soon after, there were announcements of tainted mangoes and tofu that was contaminated with … ink.
Project 2025 is working like a charm.
Foodborne illnesses are way up this year, due primarily to the cyclospora outbreak. There are also upticks in salmonella and listeria. These arrived, perhaps coincidentally and perhaps not, just as the Trump administration was cutting the guts out of not only the regulatory agencies, but also the scientific analytical programs and oversight programs. As Forbes reported:
The U.S. has also rolled back specific safety rules and dissolved long-standing scientific oversight groups, including the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods.
Like a charm, I tell you.
The summer of sickness was produced by a mass casualty event involving good government, respectable science, and common sense. It was a multi-car collision of bad political policies that nonetheless have become shibboleths on the American Right: deregulation, self-regulation, economic oligarchy, and corporate impunity morphed into corporate immunity. The abandonment of the idea of a political commonwealth and a social contract. Market worship as pure idolatry, except that the beef from the Golden Calf may kill you.
These phenomena were thrown into overdrive by the current administration’s infallible ability to find the absolutely wrong person for absolutely the wrong job. Secretary Kennedy is the most grotesque example, but Secretary Rollins, Secretary Hegseth, EPA administrator Zeldin are right up there. It was Ronald Reagan who pioneered the technique of dismantling government agencies by appointing people opposed to their very existence to run them. (Hey, James Watt. How you doing, Anne Gorsuch.) But this administration has refined this method down to its core. They put people opposed to the existence of the agencies in charge of them, but those people are as incompetent at that job as they are at their ostensibly official jobs. To paraphrase Rick Blaine from Casablanca, we don’t object to hacks. We object to cut-rate ones.
And thus we came to the summer of sickness.
The 75 Most Corrupt Things Trump Did in 2026
Goddamn, so much sickening corruption from the King of the GOP Assholes
This is a list of the 75 most corrupt things Trump did in 2026. These are not all of the corrupt things. There were many more, all of which I chronicled throughout the year in my daily column ‘Today in Politics.’ I was planning to list 100. However, to get it under the length restrictions for Substack emails, I had to cut the list down to 75.
… These examples are limited to instances where Trump used the presidency to enrich himself, family members and/or wrangle or extort donations to his PAC. It also doesn’t include corruption from his cabinet members or other members of his administration when those things didn’t directly benefit Trump or his family - and there were many of those.
… These are listed in chronological order for the dates when the stories broke which uncovered the corruption. The sheer scope and breadth of these scams and grifts is staggering. It is hard to imagine one family coming up with this many ways to profit off the presidency, but the Trumps have certainly been tireless in finding creative new paths to turn the US presidency into their own personal ATM.
… The other thing that is noteworthy, especially heading into the midterms, is that Republican majorities in Congress have allowed this to happen with zero oversight or investigations. They stood passively by doing nothing, which has only emboldened Trump to be more brazen in his schemes knowing there will be no consequences. Democrats already plan several investigations of many of these specific things as soon as they are able to acquire subpoena power and control of hearings.

'All the Massive Public Health Failures Under RFK's HHS, Ranked'
'Making America Sick Again,' By Allegra Kirkland
"We’re coming to the end of a summer of food safety crises. As an Aug. 20 New Republic piece flagged, in just one week, 'the FDA has discovered salmonella in granola, salad dressing, jalapenos, and animal food; glass in fruit popsicles; and metal in sourdough,' recalling 12 products — 'a rate four times higher than the same week a year ago.' Of course, there were also the bouts of diarrhea lettuce and E. Coli blueberries. All the jarring headlines about foodborne illnesses are perhaps the most visible indicator of how our public health has been endangered by the Trump administration. Turns out imposing sweeping staff and budget cuts on the FDA, CDC and HHS may not have been the best idea."
"But the broader damage RFK Jr. has done during his tenure as HHS secretary is extraordinary. Below, we take a quick look at some of the massive failures of public health under his watch. (We’re keeping it as light and brief as possible because it’s The Weekender, even though some of these examples are truly horrifying. An initial moment of levity: we recently learned at a press conference that the man’s cell ringtone is literally the sound of a quacking duck!?)"

Iran Is Showing the US President to Be A Complete Joke
Goddamn this GOP asshole and everyone who supports him:
Last week, during an interview with PBS News, the top adviser to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the truth – that Trump doesn't care about winning, only the appearance of winning – is clear. Because it's clear, Tehran believes it can do what it pleases with the Strait of Hormuz, and the rest of the Gulf region, while dismissing Donald Trump as an irrelevance.
When asked if Iran plans to wait until he's gone, Mohammad Reza Naqdi said yes. "We have to attain deterrence so that the enemy never dares to attack us, so that we can live with security. One way is to prolong this war until we get to the next term of the presidency."
This should be a banner headline. No one alive can remember a time when the American president was ignored! And this isn't just bluster. The cause-and-effect is obvious. The Iranians do not fear Trump. They believe he is a paper tiger who can be hand-waved away. So they have closed the strait and may keep it closed for the balance of Trump's term, creating two more years' worth of highly volatile and unpredictable global economic conditions.
Perhaps more disturbing is the fact that God-levels of money cannot in the future defend America against determined adversaries, not when the commander-in-chief is exposed as a paper tiger. "We need to face facts that the US military is in terrible shape and it will continue to get worse under the present leadership," wrote military historian Phillips O'Brien last week. "This is in some ways the greatest scandal in US history. The US has spent about $9 trillion on defense since 2016, and has created this deeply flawed, deteriorating force.”

"Declassified Report Confirms Trump Investigated as Potential Russian Asset"
The King of the GOP Assholes IS a goddamn treasonous Russian asset.
From Raw Story:
The White House recently declassified a report confirming that the FBI opened a formal investigation into whether Trump was acting as a Russian asset when he fired former FBI Director James Comey during his first term.
That investigation even had its own name: Oxferd Comma. It was folded into the larger Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which was the name for the probe into the whether Russia influenced Trump’s 2016 campaign.
One unnamed administration official said there was no evidence to back up the theory when discussing the declassified documents. That official told CBS News the case was marked sensitive, which is a typical designation when attempting to keep an investigation off the books from other agents. That same source said that agents who opened it believed it was the least intrusive way to address what they viewed as a serious national security concern.
Oxferd Comma eventually got rolled into then-Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s larger investigation and was eventually found to have no merit.
Comey’s 2017 firing is what set the entire Mueller probe in motion. The White House initially blamed Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation for his dismissal, though Mueller’s own report said Trump was actually frustrated that Comey didn’t publicly clear him of the allegations about Russian collusion.
Mueller documented several contacts between key Trump campaign figures and Russian-linked operatives, though he stopped short of saying there was direct collusion between Trump and the Russian government.
Trump has continued to refer to Comey as a “dirty cop” and has accused multiple federal agencies of running corrupt investigations against him. Comey has called Trump “morally unfit” for office. Earlier this year, Comey was indicted for allegedly threatening Trump’s life by posting an image of seashells on social media that spelled out “8647,” with “86” symbolizing a restaurant term to get rid of a menu item, and “47” referring to Trump’s second administration. Comey said the charge is vindictive prosecution, though the Trump Justice Department maintains it’s a serious investigation.

Trump's foreign policy enters its decadent, desperate end stage
I so hope it's a final end stage for this supreme GOP asshole
It’s tough to find any semblance of a silver lining in the humiliating implosion of Donald Trump’s foreign policy over the last year, especially after a week that has brought us another escalation of the war no one supports, a recycled trade war with Canada, an out-of-nowhere nuclear deal with a country that should never have access to nuclear weapons, and yet more threats against a small nation that poses no threat to the United States.
....(snip)....
Trump’s return to power has, at the very least, finally confounded all the doofuses who ever took anything he said at face value, and has also dispensed with the contradictory or two-faced rhetoric of the Biden years. There’s no more talk of universal human rights or the spread of democracy. The fundamental logic of Trumpian policy is cynicism all the way down: We don’t care about any those things and we never did. To paraphrase Stephen Miller, surely the most instrumental figure in the Trump White House, the only thing that matters is power.
....(snip)....
As the Trump administration veers unsteadily into its lame-duck phase and a likely midterm wipeout, its quest for a legacy achievement becomes increasingly pathetic, not to mention increasingly dangerous. Trump’s dance of death with the Iranian regime might have a comical aspect if the lives of many thousands of people and the future of the global order were not at stake. By goading the president into restarting the war for the third time (by my count), the new roster of hardline leaders in Tehran, at least for now, have strengthened both their domestic control and their international reputation. It’s difficult to imagine, in fact, how Trump and his ludicrous cast of advisers could possibly have screwed this up worse than they did. (D.C. rumors suggest that high-testosterone “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth will ultimately be compelled to walk the plank over this fiasco.)
Meanwhile, the search for something that can be pitched to last-ditch MAGA loyalists as a victory, no matter how petty and insignificant, continues. Trump has never given up on his dream of seizing or annexing Greenland, but it was always more like an extortion scheme or a real estate scam than a military threat. Roughly the same applies to his improvised plan to rebuild Gaza as a Trumpified new Riviera, which took even Netanyahu by surprise and was never likely to escape the uncanny valley of AI fantasy. ....................(more)

A swampy symbol of Trump’s denial, deflection, deceit and ‘dirty pool’-- The Reflecitng Pool Debacle
If you’re looking for the perfect metaphor for Trump’s “presidency” – I’m not first to say it – it’s his Reflecting Pool debacle. From start to whatever the finish will be, it has it all: hubris, incompetence, insider graft, lying, blaming. Some things are emblematic enough that they bear repeating; trying, futile as it may be, to bring sight to the unseeing. Yes, it seems trivial compared to his lie-based, ill-conceived, vanity-motivated Iran war; nor has it, like the war, cost America and the world countless billions, jobs, and security. Unlike the war, it hasn’t left the terrorist nation of Iran in a stronger position than it was before his senseless embarkation. What it has done is provide shorthand for the dark, fibrillating heart of Trumpism.
It began, predictable as sunrise does the day, with Trump bragging that he alone had the know-how to “fix” the Reflecting Pool, adding that Presidents Biden and Obama, of whom his jealousy is boundless, are responsible for everything wrong with the pool; as he has with everything wrong in the world he created. Then, as with climate change and vaccines, he ignored the science of adding a dark, heat-absorbing base beneath a primordial soup. Which rejects evolution and climate change, as well. Because of course.
It’s US law that government contracts can only be no-bid when there’s an emergency. But he handed one out, to the tune of millions, when no emergency exists. To a donor.

The Massive Cost of the Pointless and Failed Iran War
Several outlets have reported that the true cost of the war to the U.S. could be closer to $50 billion if it takes into account the bill for repairing extensive damage to military bases and replacing damaged or lost drones and missiles.
There will be a lasting impact on economic growth as the country faces a long process resolving outstanding costs, according to analysts. Goldman Sachs said in March that the war had "lowered our 2026 U.S. growth forecast and raised our 2026 U.S. inflation forecast to reflect higher oil prices"—a direct result of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz.https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/u-iran-war-numbers-185625869.html
“A Huge Grab of Power”: Trump Is Defying Congress on Foreign Aid
Fascist GOP assholes at work--
Key Points:
- A Constitutional Crisis: Congress gave orders to Trump officials on foreign aid spending, but officials have largely refused to follow many of them, likely in violation of the law, experts say.
- Delayed Spending: Officials have made little effort to spend aid money that Congress earmarked for specific purposes like nutrition and have reduced funding for HIV and other diseases.
- Blocked Funds: Russell Vought’s Office of Management and Budget has labeled some aid money “unallocated” to control how it can be spent.
