Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning added to OP 10/1/26

From Ann P. Mitchell on F.B.

In May, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington [CREW] asked the District Court in Washington to order DOGE to comply with an FOI and for the court to order that those records be preserved pursuant to the Federal Records Act (FRA). The court agreed with CREW and ordered discovery. The Admin then sought a Writ of Mandamus from the Circuit [appeals] Court to order the District Court to dismiss its order.

"The government petitions for a writ of mandamus to halt the district courts order for limited discovery into whether the United States DOGE Service (USDS) constitutes an agency within the meaning of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The government contends that the district courts order permitting narrow discovery impermissibly intrudes upon the Presidents constitutional prerogatives.

In light of the governments failure to make a persuasive showing on either of the first two elements of the analysis, there is also no reason, in considering the totality of the circumstances, to issue the writ. Accordingly, the petition for a writ of mandamus is denied." Filed on 14 May 2025.

It seems, basically, that DOGE will have to maintain records of its work in compliance with the FRA act, enabling FOI's to be complied with. Doubtless the Admin will seek another court to overturn the Circuit Court order. It does appear the courts consider DOGE to be a Federal Agency liable under the FRA act.

Trump says Biden has "Stage 9" cancer

It didn’t even take him 24 hours. And he still has to make it about himself somehow.

Pathetic.

And just for the record, there is no such thing, or concept, as stage 9 cancer. Stage 4 is the max. Not only is he pathetic, he is a moron.

A truly, truly, pathetic excuse for a human being.

"So and so has cancer"

"Well, I did a cognitive test. I got all the answers right. Are you proud of me?"

Fkn 'ell

:/

Just in case anyone is unsure, stage 9 cancer is 4 stages past dead.

Worth pointing out, Trump only used the “stage 9” comment to infer that somehow Bidens team knew about it and covered it up, when it was only discovered recently.

This again, is an attempt by Trump to smear someone when he knows next to nothing about the situation, and then makes it about himself.

But this is the man who gloated about having the tallest building in manhattan as the twin towers were still smouldering rubble, so should we actually be surprised here?

Trump had a 2 hour call with Putin yesterday after which Trump claimed Putin will start talks. This despite numerous times Putin has played Trump already. But according to strongman Trump, he really told Putin this time.

Remember , Trump already told Putin to stop via tweet with Putin simply ignored.

Within hours Putin released a statement saying he had no intentions of a ceasefire unless Ukraine basically gave up.

Another failure from Trump.

The most powerful man in the world that can't get anything done.

He was told the correct information on Biden.

So, he either knows what he's saying is b0llox and his primitive monkey brain thinks that saying 9 instead of 4 will be more egregious in the eyes of his cultists, despite the fact that it is manipulating a fellow human having advanced cancer or...

He was told and forgot, mixing up the number 4, with the numbers 5 and/or 9, because he either couldn't care less to retain that information or hasn't got the mental capacity to.

Either way, what the f*** is he doing being President of the United States

You make sure you are sure before running with it. This is just another example of his disregard for even trying to be competent.

He's also been confused about how many world wars there have been.

Your thesis is that the guy who recommends injecting bleach as a cure for a viral infection, praises Nazis as "very fine people", and isn't aware that world war 2 happened is sharp as a tack.

All Vance is showing here is what an immoral corporate parasite he is. He got a corporate education and became famous by crapping on the place he grew up in.
