Our Thin-Skinned Toddler-in-Chief

The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History removed references to President Donald Trump's two impeachment proceedings from an exhibit on the "Limits of Presidential Power," a Smithsonian spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. The spokesperson said a future exhibit will include all presidential impeachments.

The museum decided to "restore" the section of a permanent exhibition to its "2008 appearance" because various topics had not been updated since that year and therefore they removed references to Trump, the Smithsonian spokesperson told ABC News on Thursday
.

Anyone who says that the Smithsonian didn't remove the references to Trump because he pitched a fit is full of shit. The word on the street is that the Smithsonian was threatened with both a loss of funing and closure of the Museum of American History if they didn't remove the references to Trump being impeached.

What a narcissistic, whiny, petulant, overly-made-up, childish, demented and fat old fuck.

Who is still in the Epstein files.

Autocrats Do the Same Thing

They try to cook the books to deny reality.

In Russia, they're classifying economic statistics to hide their worsening economy. Putin's decreed there will be no recession, so the way he'll do that is to tell everyone there's no recession.

In this country, our petulant leader fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn't like the numbers. The message is clear to her successors: Cook the books to please the Sundowner-in-Chief. He's also on a campaign to turn the Federal Reserve from caring about inflation to caring about his poll numbers.

But the bond market is what keeps the country from collapsing under the massive debt that Republican presidents have saddled it with. If the Angry Bloated Orage Toddler fucks around with the interest rates, large infestors will dump treasury bonds and then things will get much worse rather quickly.

Ghislane Maxwell-- the Fix is In

Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sex trafficking in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved to a federal prison in Texas, officials said Friday.

Maxwell was transferred to the minimum-security federal prison camp in Bryan from a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Fla., a Federal Bureau of Prisons official told the Houston Chronicle.

It's a transfer, based on her offenses and her time in custody to date, she wasn't eligible for. But "they" moved her, anyway.

It's corrupt as fuck. Bondi and Blanche apparently bought Maxwell's cooperation with a transfer from a prison to a Club Fed that was against regulations.

Maxwell will say what they want her to say. She'll deny ever seeing Trump at anything. She'll deny even knowing who Trump is. And she'll get her pardon after the midterm elections. Bet on that.
