DC's contractor-in-chief has some new ideas about ruining the city
And Ka$h Patel is one pathetic bastard
Thursday May 7, 2026
A federal judge today, CBS News reports, ruled that the ridiculous DOGE’s mass elimination of thousands of grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities that had already been approved by Congress was “unlawful” and “unconstitutional.” (Gosh, quick aside: remember those juvenile cruel mini-Elon Musks who literally did not save a cent for the US Treasury? Good times.)
In her opinion, US District Court Judge Colleen MaMahon wrote, deliciously, that the DOGE morons “did not have much experience in anything at all – certainly not in anything remotely related to the humanities.” Not much experience in anything at all is a job requirement for a gig in this regime, but that’s another story.
Also today, the US Court of International Trade ruled that Trump’s idiotic and petulant 10% global tariff, which he pulled out of his ass after the Supreme Court struck down his broader tariff scheme is, alas, also unlawful. Hmmmm…I’m sensing a pattern.
The maniacal moves here at home, as those struck down today, echo the lunacy that Trump hatched abroad which, unfortunately, apparently no one can bring to and end but him.
While the US and Iran are firing on each other, senior US officials tell Fox that “this is NOT a restarting of the war,” or, presumably, the skirmish, the military operation, or the mini war. Insisting that two sides blasting away at each other is not a violation of a ceasefire is so on brand for this regime, isn’t it?
Iran state media IRIB today stated that “Following the attack of the US army on an Iranian oil tanker, the enemy's units in the Strait of Hormuz came under Iranian missile fire, and after sustaining damage, were forced to flee.”
In Trump’s deranged version, there was zero damage to American ships but great damage to the Iranian attackers who were part of their “fully decapitated Navy.” (No, it’s not just you – that makes no sense.) Iranian drones, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!” (Wheeee!!!! He’s out of his mind.) He ended by noting Iran is led by “LUNATICS” (goose, gander, etc) and warned that “we’ll blow them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their deal signed FAST.” Hmmmm, the perpetual question: who to believe?? HAHAHAHA just kidding.
Along those lines, the Washington Post got a hold of a confidential CIA analysis that shows the regime has been lying through its teeth about Iran’s military capability. The CIA says that Iran retains more than 70% of its prewar inventories of mobile launchers and missiles. Whoa! You’ll recall Trump said yesterday that Iran’s “missiles are mostly decimated; they have some, they have probably 18, 19 percent, but not a lot by comparison to what they had." You mean he’s lying???? Tonight, stopping to talk to reporters after he took an unannounced excursion to look at the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool that he tarted up, Trump says that Iran agreed to his demands but forgot they agreed. Yeah, I believe every word of that.
Now that he’s demolished the East Wing, Trump is casting about to ruin other DC structures he can see as he waddles across the White House lawn to his helicopter. The New York Times reports that Trump wants millions of dollars spent to glob a coat of white paint on the historic Eisenhower Executive Office building, which has stood with its gray granite façade since the 1880s. Trump says he thinks it is “ugly.”
The New York Times reports today that a federal panel considering Trump’s idea about the white paint has received “overwhelmingly negative feedback.” Yeah, no shit. Among them is this gem from Margo Steinberg, the chair of the Marion Historical Commission in Marion, Massachusetts: “The thought of painting the beautiful granite facade of the E.E.O.B. is an absolute disgrace, and an absolute insult to all those who admire and work hard to preserve historic architecture. Fifty years in the field of preservation, and I have never heard of such a stupid idea as this.” That tracks.
If/when the thing gets covered in white paint, maybe he’ll put up a sign to thank himself. The Washington Post reports today that, in a pathetic, needy display, banners of Trump wearing a hardhat with the words “Thank you President Trump” are appearing on fencing around construction sites around DC, where the National Park Service is refreshing parks. This latest example of Pyongyang on the Potomac isn’t going over well in the District, where pretty much everyone hates his orange guts. Past presidents, says Barbara Perry, a presidential scholar at the University of Virginia, “did not plaster their names around Washington” and would “have viewed this as arrogant and unseemly.” Yup, that sums it up.
Because he only really gives a rat’s ass about his ridiculous home improvement projects that nobody wants, he waddled out of the limo tonight to see the paint job of the reflecting pool.
Rachel Scott of ABC News asked Trump “You are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran. Why focus on all these projects right now? We're still seeing gas prices soaring.”
Trump told the black female reporter that her question was “stupid” and “a disgrace to the country.” He called her “one of the worst reporters,” noting she’s from “ABC fake news.” God I loathe him with the power of a thousand suns. Finally getting around to a half-assed answer he says he wants “to keep our country beautiful and safe” and “this place was a disgusting place.”
Actually, of course, it’s him and his grotesque plans to ruin DC that are disgusting. A new Washington Post-ABC News-IPSOS poll shows only 28% of Americans now approve of Trump’s ballroom project, which, they note, is a lower than the number of people who believe in ghosts and telepathy.
Extra Credit:
J Edgar Boozer, as the internet wags are calling Keystone Kash Patel, isn’t doing himself any favors shedding the title. Turns out, as The Atlantic’s Sarah Fitzpatrick – who Kash is suing and (illegally) investigating for her accurate reporting that he’s an absentee FBI landlord and a drunk - got wind of another interesting tidbit. As little remembrances, Kash likes to give out bottles of personalized bourbon, as one does.
The bottles are from the Kentucky distillery Woodford Reserve and engraved with the FBI shield and “Kash Patel FBI Director.” Wait, it gets worse: “Surrounding the shield is a band of text featuring Patel’s director title and his favored spelling of his first name: ka$h.” You literally can’t make this shit up.
Patel, the story notes, transports the booze on his DOJ plane, and hands the bottles out while on official business. All class, this guy. Asked for comment, a Ka$h spokesperson said, preposterously, that handing out bottles of hooch was an FBI tradition. Fitzpatrick writes: “When I reached a former longtime senior FBI official to ask whether he’d ever seen personally branded liquor bottles distributed by a previous FBI director, he burst out laughing.” Seriously, that’s the only valid response to these stooges.
The incompetent moron ka$h, who is desperate to keep his job, is still reeling over the original Fitzpatrick story. MS NOW reports today that Patel, described as being “in panic mode to find leakers among his team,” has ordered the polygraphing of more than two dozen former and current members of his security detail and other staff. Just what we like to see in an FBI Director – a steady hand and a quiet confidence.
Finally, that new Washington Post-ABC News-IPSOS poll out today asked people for their reaction to Pope Leo urging peace and rejecting war. Before you laugh your ass off over what an idiotic question that is – like who could be against the Pope urging peace FFS??? – turns out that while 66% of our fellow Americans are like, well, duh, you go Bro Pope, 30% have a negative reaction to the Pope urging peace and rejecting war. Remind me again how this isn’t a cult??
Thanks so much for reading and stay safe and healthy everyone!!! Remember we are not the crazy ones!!!


Tell me again why in school we learned that no one in the US is above the law ... and stood, hand over heart, to recite a pledge of allegiance that ends "... and justice for all"?
“I loathe him with the power of a thousand suns” —perfect!
